Why Catch Cold2

This Is the working season for most
Americans. We reach our maximum in
business and social affairs. That ia
why we take cold in winter. and not
because of the lower temperature as
Is popularity believed We are over
worked, fatigued. and the nervous
system depressed. SO we get colds
and are more susceptible to other dis
eases.
Several factors produce fatigue OF
the body cells. In a general way
these are: Lack of proper exercise;
overheating: CONSTRUCTED clothing
lack Of rest, and overheated buildings
Preventive treatment would be to
take a cold shower and turkish towel
rub on rising to bring the blood to
the surface and relieve internal con-
gestion.
Light, plain food gives less work to
the digestive organs and releases en-
ergy to the more needed parts of the
body.
Tight collars, belts. corsets. and
shoes interfere greatly with circula-
ton. A common fault is the wearing
Of high shoes in winter under the I'M
preston that they are warmer. Low
shoes and woolen stockings (decreed
by fashion this season. are much
saner.
Get more rest. Snatch an extra
hour in bed; take a cat nap" when
ever possible and relax from the high
pressure Of the season. Above all
harden the body to its winter environ
ment by keeping the thermometer al
les degrees Fahrenheit.
