HOW TO
AVOID A COLD


but if few simple precautions
are taken it is all easy matter TO
avoid them 1t is worth while taking
measures to ward off colds as they are
more dangerous than many people imag-
inc. They weaken the entire system
and make it an easy prey for germs.
Avoid ovcrheating, overeatng, over
drinking, ovcrwork and exposure.
Leaving an overheated room for the
open air shocks the entire system
Overeating gives the digestive organs
far more than they can accomplish,
Ovcrwork will weaken and wreck the
best physical system and overdrinking IS
a sure promoter of any illness the flesh
is heir 70.
Those who neglect the above rules
let down the physical bars which guard
the system
Good health is the only lasting pre-
scription for good skin. Cosmetics
and lotions will do no good II the real
trouble is lack of exercise or indiscre-
ton in eating
Many girls luncK daily OIL dish OF
ice cream or candy A sallow, muddy
complexion is the inevitable result. You
should make every meal as substantial
as possible, and do not eat between
meals
Women who form the habit of get
ting up late, then rushing off without
breakfast will soon show the results
in their faces. The midday meal need
not be heavy--a salad, a pattie, light
dessert, a glass of milk is enough.
