Fresh Air and Colds.

For a number OF years physicians
! and sanitarians have been struggl-
ing with tremendous psycholog-
ical problem, namely. how to secure
fresh air without running any
risk Of harmful exposure. The
busy practitioner has generally
brushed the problem aside in the
simplest possible manner: sleep
with the windows open all night
and every night. but avoid drafts.
Or sometimes he varied the for
mula: Be sure TO go ouk for an air
ing every day, but beware OF eX-
posture. OF if he was very hurried
he would merely give the patient
this parting admonitiOn as he de-
parted: Keep well Under the COW
crs and I'll stop in again tomorrow.
The W. k. window board is kind

were merely raised without a board
under the sash the cold draft would
directly strike occupants Of the
room. But practically the window
board does nothing of the kind, for
the simple reason that cold air

approaches the floor and does not
rise toward the ceiling, excepting
just enough to jump the window

the room about the neck But the

Colds to popular weekly, in
which he stated that some colds"
are infectious. DR. Blue voices the
consensus of professional opinion:

one of the others? That is, which

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please ad-
wise me, as ! am worried. | love
my husband and there is nothing
would not do for him, but | guess
the more a wife does for a man the
less he cares for her. lie has been
going with a girl for some time
She is a church member, but nc
good, or she would not be going
with a married man. She is so bold
about it. | have warned her, but
it has done no good. My husband
is old enough to know better. He
is almost so and a granddad. | am
his second wife and much younger
than he | keep my house neat and
clean and also myself, but she has
got a string on him. What would
you do to a girl like her, as she has
got TO stop seeing him?
FRIEND.
There is little you can say to the
girl, because the more you say the
more she will enjoy her conquest
Perhaps you could appeal to her
better side, but in doing so you
would have to forget your jealousy
and dislike for her and the present
the matter SO that it would appeal
to her sense of justice and right. A
woman is justified in leaving her
husband when she knows definitely
that he is untrue to her
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 10
years old and one time just in fun
| smoked a boys cigar for a few
minutes. Later l quarreled with
this boy and he has been telling
people about my smoking This
makes me very angry as l have
never smoked before or since and
thoroughly disapprove of it. What
can l do to make the boy stop talk
ing? DOTTY
Do not be so serious about the
matter. Your life will not be ruin ed
because you smoked a cigar once
and only for a few minutes. The
boy is not manly to talk the way
he does. Do not pay any attention
to what he says. If people see you
are too big to worry about it they
will not think about the matter
themselves. You must be more in
dependent and develop so much
character that people will not be-
lieve it if they hear unfavorable
things about you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: VIII you
please publish remedy for often
sive breath. | have been unable to
remove the cause. WORRIED.
You cannot get rid of the bad
breath until you do remove the
cause 1t may be that your teeth
are decaying, that you have catarrh
or that your stomach is out of or
der. Go to a dentist and a good
physician and have them help you
to locate the cause The physician
can suggest diet which will be
helpful.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a
great deal of trouble with my eyes
l have had my glasses fitted by the
best ocul:sts and still 1 am unable
TO even look at magazine or do
any close work without having my
eyes hurt. l am q years old. What
would you advise? MOLLY.
