WHY COLDS IN W1NTER?

Why q It that most Of the colds, In.
fluenxas and pneumonias occur dur
ing the months Of December, January
and February? Many people believe
that these illnesses occur because o1
tho cooler weather, but scientists are
now coming to the belief that the
body Il less resistant to these diseases
when Il Is deprived Of the normal
amount Of sunshine present during
the summer months.
In many parts Of the north only
one-hAlf TO one-third Of the amount
Of sunshine reaches the eaxthS sur
face in winter - In summer. In the
cities the amount reaching the earth
Is even less than this because Of the
thick curtain Of smoke overlying the
industrial districts.
It Is well known that the ultravio-
let light. by reaching the skin. pro-
duces practically the same effect as
vitamin D which Is present in many
food substances. This lack of sun
light would not be . serious factor II
the diet Of the winter months were
aS well balanced aS the diet Of sum-
mer.
When the colder weather comes on,
everyone develops an appetite for the
heavy starchy foods, lacking In vita
minis and alkaline elements, and these
almost invariably form the principal
part Of every meal. This instructive
desire for the richer foods is made
worse because most Of the protective
foods, such as the vegetables and
fruits, are either unobtainable during
the winter months or they are sold at
such an exorbitant price that the
buyer for the family does not feel that
1t is q good investment to purchase
them.
During the cold months people
spend very little time out of doors.
lpreferring to stay within heated rooms
where the air Is none too fresh. You
have probably noticed that your first
serious cold Of winter occurred i'm
mediately after tho heating plant
started its operations.
II you wish to guard against the
disorders Of winter, you should see
to 1t that your diet contains q large
amount Of the protective vegetables
and fruits. such as lettuce, spinach,
carrots, oranges and grapefruit. Also,
1t would be well not to use too many
Of the starchy foods but to use q fair
amount Of the protein foods and q
larger amount Of the vegetable oils.
Even during the winter months II
Is possible to obtain sun-baths by ex-
ercising in the open in bathing
suit. or without clothes If you have
sufficient privacy. There are several
institutions where tubercular children
play and have school In the snow
during the winter months. Some OF
these are located on the snowy, sunny
banks Of the Alps In Switzerland and
in the Adirondacks of the United
States. In these institutions the chill
dren play In the snow with only a loin
cloth and do not catch cold. In fact,
there have been many remarkable
cures Of tuberculosis and scurvy
among these children. OF course,
