SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. C. A. L. Reed

W OUR vigilance il required
i to protect not only your
self, but your family from the
common colds that come with
the hot days and cool nights of
mean that you are to go about
with a chronic scare that you
or yours are In the constant
presence OF great danger. II you
had to live in that state of mind
the sooner the danger overlook
you and finished you, the better
for your happiness. But there
is great difference between ir.
rational fear and wise precau-
ton. This is especially true with
respect to the spreading of COM
mon colds.
Colds are caused by microbes
or germs. Colds make us i'll at
the time. They lower our resist
ance to other diseases. They
tend to make us an easy prey
to the group Of serious and often
fatal illnesses that are caused by
microbes Of the same family. 1t
is not quite certain that in the
threats of people who have colds
are to be found, in abundance,
these organisms which are known
to cause the more serious chest
and respiratory complaints.
Every cold may be the fore
runner OF pneumonia. Assesses
and suppuration in the sinuses OF
the nose. in the ears, brain, chest,
abdomen and elsewhere some.
times come from colds. Serious
general blood poisonings and other
fatal illnesses have had similar
beginnings. The carrier of q
common cold. whom we laugh at
and joke about in our comic
papers. may be as deadly as an
assassin.
1t is time we sat UP and real
lied the danger of the common
cold and the necessity of treating
it as we would any other serious
infectious illness. Remember, there
are no little" colds.
A person who is just recovering
from a common cold or ''flu" is
naturally bored with life. What
does he do with his convalescent
leisure? As often as not he goes
on a round of visits to his friends
and acquaintances, coughing and
blowing his nose in their houses.
Some convalescents go South for
a holiday. taking their infection
with them, to sow in new ground
what Is left after they have plen.
tifully hesprink1ed the sleepers
and coaches in which they travel.
Many people, as soon as thew
acquire good brand of "flu"
or cold. seem to become possessed
with the desire to hang around
and share It with their friends
and relations. They will tell
them where they picked up the
infection. but the idea that they
are infectious themselves never
seems to occur to them. They
can grasp the idea Of infection
in the abstract. they can under
stand It in any one else. but IL
they are told they themselves are
infectious they are terribly In
suited and hurt.
Until everyone realizes that To-
hand on colds and FLU" In highly
dangerous and Hbominably sell

large numbers every fall and
winter Of bronchitis, pneumonia
and blood poisoning.

how she awaited him at the sta.
ton, only to find him with an.
other woman; how he had become
father and that the child was
dead. He then begs her forgive
ness and wants to make her his
wife.
Dmitri and his offer are scorned.
The warden enters and informs the
prince 1t is time to leave. Before
going he gives her a photograph
of herself recalling their days to-
gether.
The fourth act is laid in a camp
of deported political prisoners on
their way to Siberia. Simonson
and Katiusha are of the group.
Dimitfi is present and tells of his
great and undying love for Aa-
tiusha. She repels him. Simonson
says it is for .Katiusha to decide.
although he is slave TO his love
for her.
In a scene of great passion, she
confesses her love for Dmitri but
says she never will be his. A
message arrives that Latiusha is
pardoned. Gradually the sun shines
brightly and from afar is heard
the song of Easter. Katiusha and
Dmitri separate while a "hosana"
is heard. The act ends with con-
siderable religious fervor in the
music.
