_HEALTH IN WINTER
During the summer season, there
are, in general, less illness and fewer
deaths. Such diseases as the common
:cold, pneumonia and bronchitis are
presentthroughout the year, but dur-
ing the summer, their occurrence is
so lessened that they seem, compar-
atively speak, to disappear. The cone-
etg of the cold weather, however,
kinds them returning in force.
It appears reasonable to suppose
that this is due, at least in part, to
our failure to live as healthy lives in
winter as in summer, and so our bod-
ies are not physically fit in winter as-
they
=;=hey are in the summertime.
n summer, we spend our time in
The fresh air. We are either out of
doors, or, if we are indoors, our win-
dows are open most of the time. In
winter, many persons cut themselves
off from fresh air as much as poss-
ible. They never go out unless they
are obliged to do so, and they keep
their windows and doors tightly clos-
ed. Fresh air is just a:: essential to
the health in winter as it is in sum -
eater. According to the weather, bed-
room windows should be kept opa:n !
theyear round sufficiently to allow r
for a gentle circulation of air through
the room.
Many persons who exercise regu-
larly in summer, discontinue doing so
during the cold weather. The result
is -that there is a let -down in their
physical condition. The big muscles
of the body need to be used regularly
if they are to be kept able to do their
work. They should' be given the op-
portunity for exercise, through work
or play, in winter as well as in sum-
mer.
Another cause of lowered health in
winter is that, together with less ex-
ercise, the same amount of food is
taken as when the body was being
kept active, Over -eating and lack of
exercise result frequently in an upset
of the digestive system, constipation
and loss of health, If bodily activi-
ie-s are decreased in winter, the food
intake should be reduced accordingly.
Overheated rooms in winter are re-
sponsible
esponsible for some of the season in-
creases in colds, pneumonia and bron-
chitis, The temperature of the room
should not be over 68 degrees Fahr-
enheit. There is ony one way to keep
a proper check on the room tempera-
ture and that is by having a thermo-
meter. It alone settles the argument

in past years. Keep the body in good
condition by ,exercise, bring the big
muscles .into use each day either at
work or play. I)o not allow your
home to be overheated, sleep in a
room that is filled with moving fresh
air, dress according to the weather,
do not shut yourselves in, but go out
as much as uossible.
Health can be had in winter by liv-
ing a healthy life.
Questions concerning Health; ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College St., Toronto,

REMINISCENCES OF
C. G. 1. T. CAMP AT
MIRAMICHI BAY
A recent meeting of the C. G. I. T.
of the United Church was spent in
reminiscenses of their summer camp
held at Mirimichi :Bay, a copy of
which we print, believing it will be
of interest to many.
Wednesday, July 22. I wonder who
of our party could everforget the
thrill of that Wednesday afternoon
when the four cars met at 1 o'clock
for the exciting trip to Mirarnichi.
We arrived at the camp about 4 p.m.
Of•course we had a little dispute over
our cabins, etc., but that was of slight
importance. What a novelty the dou-
ble decker cots were. I wonder if
those who occupied one of, the top
berths have ever gotten over the ex-
citement they experienced in their
first night's sleep in one of thein and
incidentally the falls incurred itt clim-
bing to the upper regions. Do you
also remember how hungry we were
that night. A sapper never tasted so
good. bights were out rather early
that night.
Thursday, 23. The weather was a
1 trifle cooler but some braved a dip in
the icy waters. You remember who
4�they were? After breakfast and aur
i usual camp routine of devotional ex-
/ ercises, physical training, games, bed
1n -taking- and stttdy period there was
another swim, and to make the more
1 fun we appropriated to our own use
the rowboat of the Honorable Mr.
I McICee. 1 believe it was Muriel and
:Nettie who had the courage. Swim-
ming naturally was our main pastime
and so there was more of it in the af-
ternoon. This Thursday night was
more eventful than all the others in
camp. We are preparing for bed -
All rushing around in pyjamas and
dressing gowns, even in undergarm-
ents, cleaning teeth, getting washed
in the ice cold Jordan or Lighting
candles, which was a favorite pastime
when a peculiar incident happens.

Deanery to sleep was startled at see-
izig a woman peering at her through
the window who proved to be on,e of.

which had vacated the camp just pre-
vious to our arrival. She disappeared
but appeared again roaming around.

camp well that she had decided to
return and stay there. indefinitely,-
her actions were tlttite erraticthus int t
agine our feeling at that hour of the
flight (11 o'clock Oc later).
Friday, July 24. 14'hat a beautiful
day alter a had night. More excite-
ntent. Fire started in the oil stove in
the kitchen. in a frac seconds rum-
ours were abroad` that the kitchen was
on fire. Our lady of the previous
night played quite a dramatic pert ac-
cording t�., report. It was the last
part she did play around there. To
add t., the excitement, a doctor, a
policeman. and a couple of other ,nen
came and teak her away. That after-
noon we hiked into Port Elgin, will
you ever forget, coming and going
and of course our visit to the resaur-
ant. Swimming was again indulged in
by tetany that night.
Saturday, July 25th. The weather
still continued fine so there was
swimming before breakfast, 'after
breakfast, after dinner and even after
supper that day. May I add after sup-
per there was sunburn too. Bernice,
may I say it in a slangy way, took
the cake for causing the greatest at-
tention to her sunburn. Dell and
Norma equalled and Mildred chirped
in at the end. That day was rather.
one of getting back into routine, No-
thing vere exciting happened. Wash-
ings were done in general. Norma
and I saw a cow roaming up the
beach, which the little Smith "kid"
wondered if we had noticed whether
it was blind in ons eye. We really
cuuldn't tell. The family across the
Jordan were our new friends now
and we had many exciting games of
ball with them, the first which start-
ed this Saturday night. I wonder if
you have forgotten the gorgeous sun-
sets seen at camp. I haven't yet.
Well the time for lights out came and

into play.
Sunday, July 26. After our usual
rising and devotions, a church service
was held underneath the trees and
bloc sky. In the afternoon company
I poured into camp. .Mrs. Davison re-
ceived sad news which was the :cause
of her returning home from camp
On Stinday night the mown was per-
fect and we went fora walk on the
beach.
Ilroday, July 27. On the this mor-
ning we had the first rain of camp,.
but it soon cleared, Of course I liad
t., go to the farm house for the milk.
This rain seemed only to make the
water warmer and the swimming was
wonderful.. At night w,e had a mersh
rnallow roast and watermelon feed.
Do you remember the water melon
with stress on the former syllable.
After refreshments we had a sing
song and a sort of wild Indian' dance
around the camp fire. Will you for-
get how windy it was that night. The'
canvas sides of the bunk houses flap-
ped ghostily all through the night and
the clear moonlight shone through
every crevice and crack.
Tuesday, July 28. This was the
hottest day in camp. Remember the
disputes about which bush was the
cooler and whether the top berth or
the lower was the better choice, The
former was bothered with heat, the
latter with flies. Thanks to the fact
that we could wear near almost next
to nothing in the bunks and'the glor-
ious breeze we managed to keep cool.
Another family arrived in camp. 1;
won't say much about them. 'What
another grand night. It reminds one I
of the kind seen in the movies, a big;
soft mellow moon, a breeze blowing
which just rustles the leaves and the
sound of the low lapping of waters.
That night Mill Ellis arrived in camp !
We all sat out watching the moon
and talking of the supernatural, we
fcund that the new arrival was quite
interesting' and how we all listened 1
with open ears to the ghost stories.

Many of us were afraid to sleep that
night. Best of all was the lunch, de-
licious light layer cake and bananas.
Wednesday, July 29. Stormed ear-
ly in the morning, but it soon cleared,
swimming of course. The day was
very peaceful. Wednesday night how
ever Mildred started telling her funny
little stories after Horace and Jonah
and Norma tried to outdo her ventril-
oquism. Naturally much time was
spent in writing letters, in getting the
mail and reading it,
Thursday, July 30. It was rather
dull this day but nevertheless those
who were out in the boat got a good
burning. The incident of losing the
oarlock in still unsolved. In the af-
ternoon the United Church of Port
Elgin held a picnic on the camp
grounds, we were invited and enjoy-
ed the supper to the fullest. There
