spread of the disuse. In many rnunt-

'How do you koep well in winter?" a
p1:tit •tan was askc.1 the other day.
"I don't kcx'p well," he said. "But 1
esi.ape a good ninny ailments that seize
my friends and acquaintances. 5oukts,
new. They carinae in through the nese
and mot.th. I keep my mouth shut, and
s., have only one entrance to guard.
Firstly, I keep out of tiro way as much
as pos.sihle of people with ooldc . if a
coughing, snoezttig man sits opposite you
or Ixiesido you. in a train or traria, you
cannot avoid infection. You get the
germs in your nostrih inevitably. Pno-
vioed you aro vigorous and healthy at
the moment, you escape. But if you are
fr.ttgeed ging porno at night, or chilled
Wing to work in the morning, you al-
most certainly catch the oold.
Chl',ES FOR COLDS.
'When 1 get horse after stich an en -
cc unk'r, or, in any cane, if t feel the be-
girrr►ings of a oold, f put a spoonful of
brandy or whIoky in tiro palm of ray
hand, and sniff it up. lk, this at the very
Nisi sign, and you will stop the coki nine
linen out of ten. Menthol snuff, or ordi-
nary tobacco snuff, serves tete sante pur-
pose. But you mint rise it rarely, or it
kscs its effect. Boric acid, mixed with
et:.selin() and used es aei ointment inside
the nostril ntorning and night, Le an al-
irost certain preventive. You need use
it only when odds are about. Person-
ally, I find that overcoats and fires in-
crease the chances of catching cold.
Plenty of exercise diminishes them.
"Rheumatism? I never have rheuma-
tirm, for this reason. At the first faint
twinge of pain in shoulder, knee or
wrist, i cover the part wi:h flannel. You
C811 crake a knee -cap out of tho leg of an
old pair of pants. On the shoulder,
tinder the coat, you can put a small
pteci of flannel. The wrists you can pro-
tect with swot cuffs. But wear Ihese
things only when the rheumatism
threatens. Coddling is lend. Besides this
measure, exencko yourself. Indian clubs
used twice a day will keep shoulder and
wrist joints free and healthy. Stoop into
s sitting posture twenty Unice every
rreorning to bend the knees. Tot.ch your
toes with your hands, to bend the back.
Do not sit in draughts or in wet clothes,
and you may safely calculate on oscap-
ine rheumatism and lunihngo.
"By the way, if you do get wet on the
shoulders:, put a newspaper over them
under your coat.
TOOTI I \C111'. TIPS.
