RED CROSS NOTES.

Begin now to meet the health emergencies of the winter. Normal vitality is the greatest germ killer. Change clothing to meet the suaden changes of temperature. Keep your feet dry. Don’t overheat your houses and keep the windows open. When you have a severe illness you have to recover from two things —the disease from which you suffer and the strong drugs used to combat the disease. . Don’t, wait till you down sick to hours too early is a good deal better than a few hours too late.
