above seventy degrees.
1t is, therefore. wise to keep
yourself surrounded by air OF that
temperature during the time of
an epidemic.
But the warm air must always
be fresh air, air carrying the full
amount of oxygen. This calls for
good ventilation.
II the air in your room Is not
fresh your vital resistance will
go below normal and make you
susceptible to the germs in the
outside air. This is one of the
most potent causes Of colds.
1t is of the highest Importance,
therefore, that not only living
rooms but sleeping rooms and
working rooms should be kept
not only warm but well ventilated.
The idea that a cold bedroom is
conducive to health simply be-

nonsense.

They are slim,-slender, elusive

Fine chiffon and georgette are
the materials most used for the

Good Way to Avoid Winter
Colds

The evaporation then tends to
keep the air normally humid and
prevents a feeling of chilliness
caused by too rapid evaporation
from the surface Of the body.
The theory that fresh air, in
the form of sensible draughts, is
the cause of colds has a germ of
truth In it. The air thus let into
the room brings in with it the
coldprOduCing germ 81 am
speaking only of times Of cpl
late autumn and early winter
months. It's the germs and not
the cold that do the damage
under conditions of ordinary
health. If the system is already
loaded with poisons, or toxins,
such draughts are liable to pro-
duce tenderness Of the muscles
or painfulness of/the nerves in
the areas that are thus chilled.
Plenty OF fresh air may and
ought to be brought into a room
without subjecting its occupants
to a draught.
Sudden and prolonged exposure
to cold air conduceS to colds by
lowering vital resistance.
1t Is Of highest Importance that
all parts OF the mouth, throat
and upper air passages in which
germs may lodge shall be Kept
clean. Secretions should not be
permitted to accumulate in the
nose. The teeth should be kept
scrupulously clean. The tonsils
should be inspected and If found
infected, should be removed. An
astringent wash for the mouth
and gargle for the throat is a
good thing.

Household Management
IF you are something of a sculp-
i tor as well as cook, you have
probably already discovered that
number of the things you com
monty cook have interesting cavi-
ties which invite a savory stuff
ing.
Whenever stuffing can be
tucked away in a food it makes
for a nice give-and-take Of fla
vors-the flavor of meat, fruit or
vegetable going into the stuffing
in exchange for the savory sea-
soning from the stuffing. In
equally delicious. Many of the
meat stuffings are very nice
served cold in thin slices.
Aside from chicken and other
cavernous fowl, ribs of pork,
breast Of veal, shoulder of lamb
and roll of round steak, a good
calves liver and the ever useful
fish are among the meat things
into which you may as well tuck
a stuffing.
To start off a meal, you can
fill celery stalks or scooped-out
dill pickles or even hollowed-out
radishes with a highly seasoned
cheese mixture.

bowl in which to pile the cab
bage and apple and celery salad.

of course, are green peppers.

white may be robbed of their con-
tents only to have It returned to
them as stuffing, nicely beaten
