SIMPLE RULES FOR AVOIDING A COLD Avoiding a cold is more a matter of common sense than of high-flown theories. And it is wise to avoid this tiresome ailment, for it can become a habit. First of all, avoid undue fatigue. This may sound a queer way of preventing a cold, but a good reserve of vitality is one of the best protections against illness; excessive fatigue—particularly in hot, airless rooms—lowers physical resistance with the result that it is difficult to combat cold germs. Eight or more hours’ rest at night with bedroom windows well open, is an absolute necessity. A bath at 99 degrees is good on going ; to bed. but a really hot one is to be j avoided. The latter encourages j sleeplessness and unduly opens the j pores. Food Counts Food has much to do with avoiding j a cold. Too much food, especially of a starchy or acid-producing nature, frequently induces a cold. Uncooked fruit in season should be taken to keep the blood clean; also a certain amount of salad, which keeps the digestive tracts in healthy order, i Cold water in quantities is a deterrent |to cold taking: so is fresh air, day and night. Folk who are addicted jto colds should, if possible, avoiq i crowded rooms and railway ear- | riages. The Circulation The circulation of the blood should j be kept going by simple means —exer* ! cise for one and warmth of the extremities for another. Keep feet, ankle®. ; wrists, knees and the back of the neck warm, and you will have n° j trouble with your circulation, n 01 * ' with common colds. If, in spite of adherence to , cold rules, you do find yourself "With ; the symptoms of a chill, go to bed, sleep with a high pillow, and li v e f® l j 24 hours on the juice of oranges aloneBy that time the symptom* will bav* disappeared.
