COLD AIR AND
PNEUMONIA
BY Brice BeIden, M. D.

WV. HEN we think of pneu.
w monia, cold air suggests
itself to our minds. For
merly thought to result frequently
from that cause, we now know
that cold air is our greatest de-
tense against It. Instead of guard
ing our lungs against the assault
of this supposedly dangerous
agency, we now give It every
chance to enter our lungs for the
very purpose of preventing pneu-
monia.
Our bodily defenses fall to low
point if we do not get enough
fresh air, and then the germs,
which are always present in the
nose and throat, strike us down.
To contract pneumonia keep your
windows closed night and day.
The closed window bears a def
mite relationship to both tubercu-
losis and pneumonia, both diseases
Of the lungs. In the one case you
have a relatively slow development
of symptoms, in the other there is
an abrupt attack even though the
individuals general health has
seemed to be robust.
Recovery from pneumonia de-
ponds chiefly upon good heart en-
durance. The heart is especially
taxed in this disease, because of
the extra effort to pump blood
through the congested lungs and
because of the weakening effect
upon the heart muscle of the
toxins, or poisonous substances
which accumulate in the blood
stream.
At the crisis of the disease the
strain upon the heart is at it's
maximum. This strain can be les
sened to a considerable extent by
well-tried methods which are avail
able to the slillful physician.
There is apt to be considerable
pain, especially at the outset. since
there is usually more or less &C.
companying pleurisy. But this
pain can be safely mitigated or
eliminated by the physician.
Recovery ordinarily follows.
Tardy recovery is usually due
either to a failure of the inflam.
nation to resolve completely, or
to purulent pleurisy, conditions
which challenge all the resources
Of the physician.

TAD ever tell you about the
time Bunny turned miner?
~ Well, children, want you
to know that Bunny is the best
little miner on record.
That little, pink nose has been
into almost everything. and this
time he poked it right into-but
wait till I tell you the story.
It was a lucky day when I
took Bunny out to see my old
friend Bill Jenkins, who was
looking for a gold mine. Bunny
certainly brought me the luck.
You know, it's supposed to be-
lucky to carry a rabbits foot.
Well, always carry four-live
ones! You see, Bunny IS always
in my pocket, until he gets rest
less and wants to run around.
When we reached the place
where Bill was working, I said:
How are things, Bill?"

couraged." said Bill. 1--WE been
digging and digging and don't
seem to have any luck"
"You ought to get a rabbits
foot" I laughed.

didn't answer me.
Just then Bunny jumped out of
my pocket and ran off to inves-
tigate the country-he's such an
inquisittve little fellow.

EGYPTIAN
F r OCK S
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

IF you want to be smart this
season be as Egyptian as
- possible. Perhaps it is the
influence Of old King Tut that
has swayed the world Of fashion
to choose all that is bizarre and
colorful. Printed silks, figured
fabrics, material splashed with
soft oriental motifs are used
everywhere possible to make the
new seasons clothes things to be
long remembered in fashions fan
cies.
1t is interesting to note how
women have taken to the new
printed frocks and the individual
touches that have been given to
make them each appear SO de-
lightfully different. For instance,
crepe in a light caramel shade is
printed in Egyptian mummy fig.
ures in an all-over pattern of va
rious colors arranged with deep
border at the bottom and across
ehe yoke. This frock is ex-
tremefy simple, cut in one piece
and finished with elastic at the
hips to confine the fullness. A
slim girdle Of the material is the
only trimming.
This frock is also found in
various other colorings, and the
background Is the main color, be-
ing either navy, sand, caramel,
orange, block or green.
Sometimes we find the Egyp-
tan figured material used IN
striking combination with plain
fabrics, such as wool jersey elab-
orately embroidered in oriental
shades.
