OFF DANGEROUS "C0LD'
Much Sickness May Be Prevented by
Adoption OF Few Preventive
Measures.

A few precautions will decrease the
liability of catching cold from eX-
posture TO the rains of winter-as well
as its SHOWS. Some of the simplest
preventatives are those that nature
herself furnishes. None needs to catch
a cold when wet if he or she will walk
or run home briskly. Wet clothing
draws the heat from the body and
lowers the temperature below normal
This IS dangerous. But If the heat of
the body is maintained by exercise,
little or no harm results from the wet
clothing. If obtainable, two or three
Jumps of sugar should be eaten. This
helps the hearts action and supplies
considerable heat to the body.
Many deride the popular belief that
ii is impossible to catch cold from
wetting with sea water. but the state
ment holds much truth. The salt re-
tards evaporation, and thus chilling Of
the body is delayed. obviously, that
is an advantage. Further, the salt
acts as a stimulant, and assists the
circulation of the blood. That is an
other advantage. Thus, unless in I'M
usual circumstances, there is much
less chance of cold resulting from
an immersion in the sea than in fresh
water.
Those who feel much depressed in
wet weather should form the habit OF
increasing their rate of breathing. The
depression is due TO the increase OF
vapOr in the air, and the consequent
prOpOrtionate decrease of oxygen.
Quicker breathing, as is obvious,
pumps more oxygen into the system,
and the depression departs.

COREAN BOY NATURES EARLY

Formerly. If a Corean boy had any
schooling at all he squatted all day
on the schooIroom floor, learning 10

Chinese, and he would have thought
himself we'll educated if he acquired
vague knowledge of the maxims OF
Confucius He often felt content to
carry a "iiggy" or to drive a pack
pony or even to act as nurse to the
baby while his older brother wrestled
with the Chinese classics. Under
the new regime the school hours are
still long and strenuous, but the boys
pursue u japanese course of study
in Japanese. They probably would
vote their games more interesting than
any curriculum whatsoever. Their ma
tional sport is stone-fighting, which
they carry GA during the first fifteen
