fcwcr members. but on the other hand
there are litany which contain several

500. 000 members may be crulitcd to the
order throughout the country; can-fut
inquiries lead one to place the present

Titus Stimson Cmn. .\l. 1).. says‘iri
Homer‘s lt'ul‘ly: (‘olds are always with

The Very name “cold“ is misletlllng.

It takes its misleading name from the
fact that exposure to cold produces it.

symptoms either in the bronchial tubes.

that is to say. be palliative ren.c lies and
by avoiding further exposure until it has
run its course.
But a cold. once established. is seldom
cured—it ends when it has spent itself.
So that the more important question for
us is. how may we kccp from catching
colds! llow can we thininish the gicat
tax that they lay on our comfort, the risk
which they cause of pneumonia or bron-
chitis. and their frequent tcrmiizalion in
chronic Catarrh, the characte idic Amer

those that come from our variable cli—

and to keep warm in the cold all these
prccanflons we know and practce more
or less carefully. and yet many persons.
in spilc of them all. are among the great-
est sufferers from colds.
Who are th‘st‘ unfortuustc persons"
They are of all lentprrallltflllfl‘ habit; and
ages. No age. no country. has not heard
their sneezing: and the chorus wit never
ccase until the sufferers I! am this lesson.
which should be cmbroiierml-u; on every
pocket handkerchief in (‘hristcndomr “It
is not enough to protect yoursel: against
the cold. You must also harden your

Tin-people. then. who catch cold are
those who ilcpt‘llll hm much upon pre-

and the more they pron-ct lhrmsi‘lvrs

It is like banking up a river; the higher
you build the let'ccs. tin: Worse will be
the overflow when it comes. Those
people who defend thamseIVcs only by
artifice against voids are the worst squ
fcrcrs from mlds.
How does the trouble begin? Very
often. perhaps usually. in chi dhood. An
anxious mother wishes to be sure that
her child shall not take cold: ‘ and if I
only keep him warm enough.“ she says
to herself. arguing firm the name of the
tliing——»“if I (an only keep him warm
enough. surely be will never catch cold."
So the child is burdened night and day.
summer and winter alike. w.th wraps
and coverings that keep him in p «spira-
lion agrcnt partuf the timc. and this
causes such tenderness of the skin that
catching cobl on llli‘ lcztst t'VIMiS‘lre is in~
evitable. It is quite trn' that a child
should be kept warm. But thc anxious
mother must bear in mind that in a warm
room or on a hot day he does not need
as much clothing as when it is cold.
Overheating. in a word. is the surest
preparation for colds; but with each new
attack the ignorant mother can think of
nothing better than to makc the house
warmer and the clothing tliitk r. Of
course the little suffcrcr‘s skin licctimes
still tenderer. and the colds more fre~
qucnt. Many an active. little fellow. thus
Cotldled. has to spch the bright days of
winter in watching from his lulu-om
windows the sports of happier children
who are not so tender but that they can
face the snow without danger,
Now what is to be done in such a case!
The treatment needed is simple enough,
though it nieds iut- lligent care in the ap-
lication. These arc my live rules for
ardening.
1. (.‘old plunge baths for the compara~
lively few who can hear them.
3. Cfld sponge baths daily for the
majofity of healthy persons.
3. As much out—door exposure.
summer and winter. as possible. always
with clothing according to the season.
4. Avoid sleepingtoo warm at a‘ght;
the golden mean in the matter is the
best. ‘
5. Many Persons take cold bv having
cold feet. and for these the cold douche
to the feet is a most effective cure. It
stimulates the nerves and the arteries of
the feet. and produces a Lrisk reaction
of warmth. A single application will
sometimes not cold feet glowing that
have not been warm for a whole winter.
In practice I have found this a most ef-
fective remedy. and while it is not-to be
used absolutely without precaution: of
times and mains, yet there are few per
sons so delicate as not to bear perfectly
well this moderate and local ex sure to
cold. or to profit by it. Often it will on-
tirely cure the life-long affliction of cold
feet._ The colder the water the better;
and if one has not the convenience of a
douche. it will serve fail-2y well to stand
lira tub or basin tilled to six inches deep
with the coldest water at command. The
warm reaction is essential.
In this matter of colds an dance of
prevention is worth at least" a pound of
cure. as in other ailments of which I
have written elsewhere. One who will
toughen himself as I have indicatednmd
not often ask. “How shall I (ti-c my
cold!“ for he will have already aid to
himself. “First don‘t. catch your cold."
