HOW TO KEEP WELL DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of “HEALTH” 000000<X>0<X)000^^ (©. 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) GETTING READY FOR WINTER AS THE days grow colder and shorter and the nights are long- ■ er, the natural tendency of civilized people is to stay more in the house, to close the windows and doors, to huddle together around the stove or the fireplace and to avoid the sun, the winds and the open places. Then one member of the family gets a “cold” and soon all of them have it. And then they say it’s this awful | weather. But It isn’t the weather at j all. There isn’t any weather in the house and where the temperature is I probably as high as a hot summer day, i and where the lungs are stifled by im- . pure air, the skin is kept too moist by | dry heat and heavy clothing. The members of the household are living in close contact with each other, such as is not possible in the warm days of summer, when doors and windows were wide open and, when everybody who could stayed outdoors as much as possible. “Colds” are always with us. We can’t escape them under our presentday living conditions. All we can do is to live so as to be able to resist j them. How? First by giving your skin , air. Don’t smother yourself with heavy clothes on the first cool day. Wear enough to keep you warm but ; not enough to keep your skin constantly damp. Little danger, you say, to women and girls with present-day styles. Very true and it still remains to be seen whether lighter clothing in the house with fur coats and heavy wraps on the body for outdoor wear are going to diminish the number of colds among women. I can remember the day when women and girls were : swathed up at the first sign of winter in woolen petticoats, flannel underwear, thick woolen stockings and heavy cloth dresses to “keep them from chilling” because they were “so sensitive to cold.” Who wouldn't be sensitive if they were wrapped up like hot-house fruit? Keep the house warm enough to be T comfortable but not like a midsummer day. Fresh air, especially at night, is one of the best possible preventives against winter colds. Steffanson, Nansen, Greely, MacMillan and all the Arctic explorers say that they had no j colds in the Polar regions, although they tramped miles through snow I drifts, slept in thin tents and snow | huts, often in wet clothes and sleeping bags. Colds only reappeared when they returned to civilization. So if you want to be free from colds, stay outdoors as much as possible, have fresh air in the house, use cold water freely, dress moderately and eat j sensibly. THE SALT HABIT 44 O ALT is good.” said Christ to his disciples in one of the parables. Evidently most races of men believe so. Friday in Robinson Crusoe's island, had to learn to eat it, as most primitive people do. Steffanson tells in his “Friendly Arctic’’ of finding a tribe of Esquimos who had never ! tasted either sugar or salt and to । whom both were so disagreeable that they would not eat any food which 1 had a particle of either one in it. A certain amount of salt is evi- ! dently needed by the body and is of ! benefit. But some people have formed I the habit of eating it to excess, either ' in their food or “straight.” This is a ' habit just like the alcohol habit, the ■ tobacco habit, or any of the other • curious habits that men form. What harm does it do. you ask? Well, salt is not only a seasoning, it | is also a combination of equal parts ; of two powerful chemicals, sodrum I and chloride. The blood under normal ' conditions has a certain amount of j salt, as can easily be proven when I you have a tooth pulled or your lip or tongue cut. You recognize at once I that the blood which fills your mouth I has a salty taste. If the body gets j more salt than it needs, then the exi cess must be excreted by the kidneys. ! they become irritated and if this is ■ kept up there is continued irritation. | Another objection to too much salt 1 or salty food is that salt always I creates thirst. The foxy bartender j knew this. He put salt fish and salt j pickles and salty popcorn on the bar as a free lunch, -knowing that he’d get It all back in the increased drinks his thirsty customers would order. The more water we drink the more fluid there is for the kidneys and the heart to handle. People who eat large amounts of salt also generally eat i pickles, spices, hot relishes and sauces, i and so have to drink large quantities [ of some kind of fluid to quench their ! thirst. All that means more work and more irritation for the heart and kid- ' neys. , A reasonable amount of salt is prob- ' ably not only harmless but neces- { sary. But like all good things, it can j be carried to excess. Don't get the I salt habit, don't overload your food , with unnecessary seasoning. As boys j say in their games "All that goes up must come down" so remember this about the body, that all that goes in must come out and sometimes it does more harm getting out then it did getting in. Gathered Facts I Foodstuffs exported by tiiis country ' this year will total twice the value of those 10 years ago. Harness and saddles continue to der crease in use over the world, this country sending less than one thi 1 as many in May as in January of this year. , More than 6.000 combined harvesterthreshers have been placed in fields of Argentina within the last two years, and the old-fashioned threshers are passing out of use there.
