HEALTH FIRST
Underweight.

Undcrweight is often due to irre@-
ular habits of eating and sleeping and
lack of regular exercise. Have a
thorough examination at intervals by
competent physician, or in dis
pensary or clinic, to determine whether
or not any serious disease exists (es-
pccially hoolworm or tubcrculosis) d.
Eat freely of fat-forming foods men
toned in next paragraph.
Overweight.
Secure as much regular exercise as
possible. Be thoroughly examined for
evidence of disease. Extreme over
weight, especially at middle life, pro-
duces as high death rate as heart
disease. Cut down the fat-forming
foods, such as bread. butter, cereals.
sugar fats, and substitute moro green
vegetables and fruits.
Lung Troubles.
Where there is suspected tubercu-
losis consult a competent physician and
follow orders strictly. The basis Of
treatment is abundant fresh air and
nourishing diet, such as bread and but
ter, cereals, and fats, but do not neg
lect green vegetables and fruits. Avoid
alcohol and tobacco. Avoid fatigue or
physical and mental strain. Do not
take any chances. Report to the
health officer or public health nurse.
They will be glad to counsel you.
Rheumatism.
This may be caused by infection in
tonsils. teeth. nasal cavities, or else
where. Liniment will not cure it. BE
examined by physician and dentist,
and if possible have the infection re-
moved.

ways waste the water, so that it has

that appeal be made here to every
patron of the city water supply to have
his fittings all repaired and made leak
