That it is anything but, is bootie out

down into very sensible' and 'effic-•

not, the result of influence .from
without so much as the working out
of their own expanding characters..
They have the root of ;the matter in
thein,-:.
(But if this tendency confined itself
to married couples, we might :consider
that it was an inevitable accompani-
ment ' ofthe' marital state. ,But
it doesn't. No relation: in life is free
of it, ` It seems to be 'a human weak-
ness. We. try it out: on friend and
foe alike, though, naturally, our
friends come in' for most of our re-
formitig efforts.
One friend is charming but is apt
to talk too much and we cannot
break her of the habit. ' We fuss
over it and worry over it but She
always has a good excuse for tel-
ling eweh piece of information with
which we have supplied .her. Really,
she is surprised that we cannot see
how impossible under the cireum-
stances it was for her to keep it,
Obviously, the only thing we should
do with this charming friend is to
cease telling .her anything which we
do not wish repeated. Simple, isn't
it, and so much less wearing than
trying, vainly, to have her change
her character.
Another friend is lovable and we
adore her but she does not know how
to dress, so we must tell her. We
do, that is some of us go that far.
We tell her herh that- ate
aare a
nightmare and her frocks a crime
and that she has no niers taste than
a savage. Does that work a change
and does she come meekly asking us
to choose her things for her? By no
means. It -will usually create a de-
cided teoolness between us and we
thereby lose all the influence we
might have had. We may, by sug-
gesting that certain colours are be-
coming or that a certain -style of hat
has a tendency to youthfulness, in-
fluence our friend to adopt our ideas,
or we may not. The only thing for
us then is to 'trice out friend to our
hearts with all her faultiness of
taste and let it go at that. A grown
woman who has not acquired some-
thing of a taste in dress is almost
hopeless, unless' it ]s that she has
never bad an opportunity of exercising
her own desires, from lack of funds
or some other cause. But anyway,
some of the dearest of women al-
ways wear the most nnbeeoming

with the reforming stick and tries it

this friend is to turn our eyes in
upon ourselves and see just what im-
provement can be made, set about
making it without delay, then ignore
the rest. It is obvious that we can-
not change the one who is bent on
changing us, so we might as well cry
quits, recognize our limitations and
turn' our energies to something else..
And so I might go on for hours
pointing out the futility of this soc-
iallycrusading spirit.
What about all this? Simply this,
the only person over whom we have
any real influence, the only charac-
ter whieh by -taking thought we can
improve, lies within us. If We wish
to try a reformation, try it on our-
selves; if we would look for faults,
turn our magnifying glees inwards.
Trying to reform others, except by
example, and pointing them to a
Higher Power, is wasted energy and

the sootier we realize it the more
peace of mind we shall have.

The most practical way to prevent -
the communicable diseases is to step
the transference, of . , disease germs
from one individual to another. That
is why cases of communicable diseas-
es are isolated. A, practical way to
prevent them is for each one' of us
to make sure that, when we cough or
sneeze, we do so into a handkerchief.
Make it a Oehler habit' net ' t'o.
cough, .sneeze or 'spit' excepting un
der the'caver of or into a handker-
chief. Do your part in this way to
prevent the spread of diseases, and
let others know that you expect them
to protect you in a similar way.
Questions concerning Health ad-
dressed
ddressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toronto,
will be answered personally br letter.
COUGHS AND SNEEZES
t A person is guilty of criminal neg-
ligence
ligence if he, through his actibps, .en-
dangers the lives of others, Almost
daily we -are shocked to read the re-
sults ofsuch carelessness on thepart
of motorists and others; If you want
to learn of the results of the thought-
lessness of those who cough and
sneeze carelessly, you must 'look in
the wards of the hospitals and
through the death notices.
;The "open-faced" sneezer, the per-
son who : sprays his surroundings
with his sneezes and his coughs is
mere dangerous than the careless
motorist. He is guilty of an assault
on all those near him. Ile is a source
of danger to them because of the
germ -laden secretions which lie
throws out all around him, sometimes
into the very faces of those near him.
Maley disease germs are present in
the nose and throat. When we cough
or sneeze, the particles which we ex-
pel by these actions carry with them
same of these germs. The spray is
germ -laden and it scatters around for
several feet.
This whole danger can be overcome
If the nose and mouth are covered
with a handkerchief during the cough
orsneeze, the danger is practically
ended. If the cough or sneeze catch-
es you unexpectedly and you have not
time to use your handkerchief, you
can at least lower your head and di-
rect the spray to the floor, not into
other people's faces.
Many of the eotnmunioable diseases
are spread by careless coughers and
sneezers. This is true as regards the
common cold. The person suffering
front a cold who continues at his
work and is not very careful, passes
his cold on to others by means of his
careless coughing and sneezing.

the body. They die rather quickly
outside of the body when they are ex-
posed to the effects of drying and
