Abeitt Colds.
A cold is one of the most com-
mon •ailments. Most people do not
take ordinary precautions to guard
against it. It is eonxnxunicable,
and readily passed from one per -
eon .

A cold, or "just a little sore
throat," especially in children,
s;aould be taken seriously. Measles
and whooping cough generally be-
gin like Bead colds. Diphtheria
scarletancl fever are often just a
little sore throat" at the begin-
ning,
odds are eaused by germs, and
when you develop a cold it means
that you have 'become infected and
the germs have begun to grow and
develop in your nose and 'throat,
P educing poisons that are being
absorbed into ,your body, making
you feel ab •times miserable.
(Some vigorous people who live
an outdoor life and care for and
strengthen their bodies with 000l
baths and exercise never seem to
"eatch cold," while others who
take no exercise and keep housed
in hot, close rooms, are very prone
to attack on exposure.
Colds oftenact like other com-
municable 'diseases.. Someone in
the family "'catches cold" and
brings the germs home, and one .af-
ter another the members of the
household become infected.
To avoid this, wlatch •for the first

o her hand-
kerchief,
as ooughing without such
protection is the mos ,common way
of spreading the germs. After the
handkerchief is soiled it should be
boiled from twenty to thirty min-
utes.
At this season of the year, with
pleasant out-of-door weather at
Rand, we are all apt to neglect
some precautions and catch cold.
No illness is mare widespread or
more neglected than these common
colds, and, when neglected, oo•n-
sequences are •often serious.
Colds :are largely preventable.
That they are caused by germs
is undoubtedly true, but we have
these germs with us always. Itis
only when the system is weakened
in its normal .resistance that the
germs succeed in breaking down
• the defe.ru es, and, entering the.
tissues, produce -that acute infiam-
nation of the throat and nasal
passages known as a Bead cold.
'Children frequently "take cold"
at ;this season of the year by sitting
upon the ground, A cold may be
contra,eted .by going without the
oustonary wraps or bareheaded,
wetting the feet, violent muscular
exertion' witho,tet proper after -pre-
cautions, such as a cold shower
and 'rub -down. Many of these
little indiscretions in persons ao
customed to indoor life may pro-
duce the head •cold. And the tend-
ency of every head cold is to ex-
tend downward, involving the
larynx -•P Plaryngitis," the bronchii
—"bronchitis, and even the lungs
—"pneumonia." A neglected cold
often prepares the way for tubercu-
losis.
Colds are often contagious to
healthy persons, since the germs
which have succeeded in invading
the tissues acquire increased viru-
lence and are ;thus able to infect
persons whose resistance is nearer
normal.
Colds should not be neglected. If
they refuse to respond to simple
home methods of treatment '" a
physician should be consulted.
Prevent colds by the exercise of
care to avoid diminishing the body
resistance. : Much may be done to.
toughen the body's resistance.
Bathe the neck and cheat each`
morning with cold water. Practice
deep breathing. Keep out of doors
as much as possible. Let plenty of
fresh air into .the house. Leave the
windows of sleeping looms open at
night. The more fresh air you pass
through your lungs ,the better you
will be able to' resist disease.
For the protection of others this
rule should be observed : Do not
spit except in proper reoeptaoles.
It is dangerous, indecent, unlawful
and spreads disease. Do Dict cough
or sneeze without holding your,
handkerchief over your ''nose or
mouth.
