HEALTH IN
WINTER
BY Brice BeIden, NJ. D.

TT f.. the closing Of our win.
dows with the advent OF cold
- weather that works mischief
with our breathing apparatus.
We then exchange the relatively
pure and moist air Of the miIder
seasons for the vitiated air OF the
unveptilated home or office.
This vitiated air is also an abb
normally dry air. owing to our
modern methods OF heating, and
abstracts too much moisture from
the respiratory, apparatus, thus
Irritating the mucous membranes.
Irritated and congested mucous
membranes are in no condition
properly to repel the germs Of
disease, and the result is cpl !;
denies OF common colds, -bron-
chitis, tonsilitis and pneumonia.
Good health can only be main
tained where there Is a circula-
ton Of fresh air containing a
sufficient amount Of moisture.
Besides the local effects Of dry
and vitiated air there are consti-
tutional effects due to the depri-
walton Of oxygen; the lowering Of
vitality when results from this
also favors the occurrence Of in
lection.
Infection IL favored by getting
at too close quarters with crowds
Of coughing and sneezing people.
Such habits as wetting the fin
gers with the tongue or failing
to wash the hands before eating.
also encourage infection.
Brisk outdoor exercise should
be. taken daily, which alone will
go far toward heightening ones
resisting powers.
: A cold morning plunge is a
great fortifier against disease, or,
in lieu Of this, throw cold water
on the chest and throat night and
morning and follow this by brisk
rubbing and exercise.
Sleep with windows open. In
the daytime open several windows
or a door for few minutes twice
a day.

Of Books ON hO-AnaIysis.N
w OUR dreams with the ex-
ception Of so-called day
dreams'D transpire in a
very mysterious state known as
sleep. Men, animals and even
plants and vegetables sleep, but
we do not know even yet the
exact cause or. nature Of sleep.
All sorts Of theories have been
advanced to explain it, Some
authorities have thought that .an
excess OF blood in the brain
causes sleep, but 1t was proved
that exactly the reverse of this
took place: there is much less
blood In the brain during sleep.
than there is during waking life.
When we wake UP and begin to
think, more blood flows into the
brain.
Some have contended that sleep
is a pathological condition; but
this is disproved by It's naturel-
ness and universally. Others
have advocated that a changed
condition of the nervous system
is the cause Of sleep; but there
is no direct proof of this, except
In the cases of animals which
have been narcotic.zed; AMI this is
not a natural condition.
The usual theory held is that
sleep is largely chemical pro-
duct; various poisonous substances
accumulate in the body as the
result of the days activities, and
these gradually poison the body,
so that sleep Is finally required in
order to throw them off.
There is much to be said in
favor OF this view, and there is
doubtless some truth in the idea.
But 1t is not the whole truth.
For. in the first place, sleep may
be delayed by an effort of will;
then, artificial sleep of protracted
character may be induced by
hypnotism; again, most men and
women seem to need about the
same amount Of sleep, no matter
whether they do great deal Of
work during the day, or hardly
any at all. All this ought not to
be so IL the purely chemical
theory were correct. ~
The psychological factor is very
important as a cause of sleep.
DIR. Boris Sidis conducted a num-
Der Of experiments upon animals,
in which he covered up the eyes
and ears Of the animal with a
thick cloth, and the animal very
soon fell asleep. Even In the
