Health and
Hygiene
By DR.. w. D. Brown
Be Careful of a
Summer Cold

This summer has been character
lied by extreme heat. The result
has been that every one in an at
tempt to "cool off" has disregard
ed every medical precept. Whereas
drafts do not cause cold, yet body
surface cooling predisposes one to
such an attack. 1t is the consensus
of opinion that exposure to drafts
only lowers body resistance so that
any infection present may get a
foothold. Around the head, the
teeth, tonsils, and sinuses frequent
ly are the storehouses for disease
producing germs.
AS long as the body is sufficient
ly resistant no trouble results and
the infection becomes latent; but
subject the individual to sudden
cooling as is done in the summer
time relief, then body defenses are
mitigated and the germs produce
cold.
Inactive tuberculosis is activated
likewise in this way. I have seen
several cases this summer, an ex-
PLANTATION for which can be derived
only in this way.
The presence of a summer cold
in the body, tells one story at least,
namely, that there is something
wrong with your body other than
the cold.
It's up to you to find out and OBJ
literate the cause.

These other amendments represent

the question of the Federal payment
the Senate is standing for the budget
recommendation of s5,7O0,000, which
