Flu is prevalent It is well to keep
ourselves in the best physical con-
dition, and it is necessary to have
sufficient nourishing foods, drink
plenty of water, get eight hours rest
every night. This is important. Go
to bed if you have cold, or do not
feel well. Many diseases and mild
sicknesses could be avoided if we
would take care of ourselves early.
This way disease germs would not
spread.
