Coughs and Colds
(By Mrs. A. H. Foster, Il. NJ

This Is the season OF coughs and
colds due doubtless to a lowered vital
ity from the indoor life we begin to
lead as soon as cold weather begins.
No matter how much out of door life
we may have had during the summer
Just past, as soon as the chilly days of
autumn begin we begin to shut our
selves up in super heated rooms. Even
as late in the worlds history as this
there are people who strenuously OBJ
ject to having the out door air heated
and require as soon as the heat is put
on that all the windows shall be her.
metically sealed. This is all wrong,
for in order to promote metabolism in
the body i. e. to change food into
energy, we must have movement of
the air and there is no movement of
the air If it is dead air as it must be
II fresh air is not frequently added to
1t. -
II it becomes a question of bfeath-
ing warm foul air or cold fresh air
the choice should always be for the
fresh air and there is not as much
danger of colds for in this case you
can put on more clothing Bnd let
your lungs take care of the rest. 1t
has been found in public buildings
that a room will heat quicker if
fresh air is allowed to circulate thru
it before attempting to warm it. Mean-
ing that it is not possible to heat dead
air as easily as fresh air. Bronchitis
disease only too common is known
to- the medical profession as the dis
ease of foul air.
Breathing foul air or air that is too
dry results in a condition of irritation
Of the mucous membrane of the mouth
and throat with the result that those
germs or disease organisms that are
always with us are able TO get i'll
their work of destruction. The re
suit is first common cold, followed
by influenza. bronchitis or pneumonia.
Even tuberculosis does not claim as
many victims as pneumonia in this
state. In the ten years previous to
1919 there We're 1886 deaths from
pneumonia in the state of Maine.
Knowing the danger from this disease
the state health authorities have made
this a reportable disease Just the same
as diphtheria, but in spite of this it is
still customary to visit patients who
are afflicted with the disease. There
is great danger in this as cOntagion is
likely from coughing when the fine
spray filled with germs is thrown out
into the air Patients with this dis
ease should be careful to cover the
mouth when coughing and all cloth
ing should be put through boiling
process when washed. There is also
danger from the floor sweepings
where germs may have lodged in the
dust. For this reason dry sweeping
should not be permitted. The great
est care should be observed as well in
|scaldng all utensils used for the pa
tients. In fact the greatest care
should be taken to guard against con-
tagion in all cases of colds for it is
never safe to be sure just when a
mere cold will become something
worse through neglect or carelessness.
1t Is not hard to learn to be care
full where the health is concerned and
once the care becomes habit it is d
great safeguard to the community

Saturday afternoon last saw large

but Skowhegan was match for them
in that respect as well as others. Spir-
It and enthusiasm never ran higher
in two opposing teams and the bolster
ing rooters than at the park last Sat
urday. Every one one WAS keyed
up for big fight and no one was go
ing to be surprised if Skowhegan $
faultless record received its first
black mark. Cheers noated thru
the twangy October air and the game
was ON. From the start however things
looked dark for Wilton. Wilton
doubtlessly over confident of victory
because of their superior weight stood
straight as Greek statues, while the
low tackling iron men representing
Skowhegan High swept them from
their feet and contrary to their desires
they were Obliged to kiss the ground
many times before the end of the game
Again and again Skowhegan's unbeat-
able backfeld catapulted thru the as
founded Wilton huskies for a gain of
yards. Rapidly Skowhegan scored
and the number ran swiftly into the
twenties while Wilton was represent
ed by zero Toward the end of the
last half Wilton narrowly missed
scoring but again the we'll directed
