MORRIS FISHBEIN (Editor ef The Journal of the Ameri- can Medican Association and of Hyzeia, the Health Magazine) The most favorable temperature for ; health for the ave! man varies apparently with the climate to which he has been accustomed. In the temperate zone, we seem to do ex- ceedingly well with fairly moderate temperatures, such as occur in spring and fall, but must adjust ourselves to the extreme conditions that de- velop in the sum: mer and in the winter. Winter requires more adjustment than summer. Pro- fessor Huntington of Yate believes | that the weather is. responsible for from 15,000 to 100, 000 deaths every/| year. The most severe months are apparently Febru- ary, March and early April, the pe- Dr. Fishbein Dr. Fishbein riod in which pneumonia following colds is most prevalent. Furthermore, the winter months seem to deprive the human being of many of the healthful factors available in other seasons. The normal human being has a temperature of 98.6 and his body seems to function best in a temper- ature of from 65 to 70 degrees Fahr- enheit. It is difficult to maintain this temperature in rooms during the winter months. Overheating dries | out the body and puts the mucous membranes in a condition in which it is difficult for them to resist the on- slaught of infection. Unfortunately, few homes properly regulated so far as concerns moisture. The average humidity in most homes during the winter months is about 25 per cent. That is to say, at 70 degrees tha air contains Fight Rules for Avoiding ‘Flu’ Here are eight simple rules for winter health, written for readers of The Bismarck Tribune by Dr. Morris Fishbein 1. Avoid overheating your home and, if possible, regulate the tem- perature of your office or the place in which you work. 2. Try to keep the humidity in- doors at its normal value, about 40 to 50 per cent. They you and the furniture won't dry up and crack. 3. Get your share of outdoor sunshine. You won't hurt anybody but yourself if you don't. 4, Eat a balanced diet; eat enough of it, but don't overeat. 5. Get your iron, lime and phosphorous, but not through the medium of patent medicines. Na- ture has made ample provision in the things that are her handiwork. 6. Eat vitamins. They are to be found in the green vegetables, fresh fruits and fresh milk. It is fashionable now to eat the green leaf of the salad. 4. Exercise outdoors every day. If you haven't any chores, then make some. If you are unfortu- nately unable to do so, then walk and let the car rest its stiff joints in the garage. 8. Don't cuss and discuss the weather. You cannot do anything about the matter anyway; but, in large measure, you can meet in a sensible fashion the changed re- quirements and thus maintain ef- ficiency and well-being. only about 25 per cent of the water it could contain. In order to have the maximum of health and comfort, the air should contain about twice this amount. Keep Air Moist To get a relative humidity of 50 per cent, rooms heated to 70 degrees will require the daily evaporation of from five to 30 gallons of water. All sorts of methods have been devised for getting this amount of water into the air. The simplest method, of course, is the pan of water with a wick, which may be placed on the radiator. It is also possible to evap- orate the water without the wick, but it dees not evaporate so rapidly. Sev- eral humidifiers are manufactured which may be placed on the radiators and which contain cloth layers along the sides which serve the purpose of aiding the evaporation of the. water. | in addition to having moisture out- Side the body, it is desirable to have | sufficient moisture inside the body | respond to the dryness.

One of the dangers is that a person will go to bed at night rather lightly covered because of the fact that the room is warm, and that as it gets colder to- ward morning the covers are not easily available. Then ,he will lie and shiver rather than get additional covers to supply suitable warmth.

This can not be done if we neglect to raise the certification standard of our teachers. Qualfications are an important consideration. The fact remains that all well qualified teachers are not However, it is only reasonable to conclude that one lack- ing in ability to teach will not stay in the ranks long enough to obtain a higher certificate. Too often the positian of rural. school teacher is desired as the means to an end with little consideration be- ing given as to the children’s wel- Fishbein fare. Higher standard of certification will eliminate this class, afford better opportunities for the good teacher and be of infinite benefit to the chil- dren whose welfare is our considera- tion. Personally I am mighty proud of the farm girl or boy, who in spite of all the difficulties which you have so truthfully stated, have become teachers with even a second grade elementary certificate and my dear sir those same girls and boys are not going to be satisfied with ai but professional certificates, neither are they going to willfully and self- ishly use their position as a teacher to gain their advancement at the ex- pense of their pupils. Those hardships you mentioned in regard to the teacher in a rural school are also the lot of the rural school children. We extend to them our ‘sympathy. We hope, through our interest and efforts, to obtain for them hetter educational opportunities than those which were the lot of their farm girl and boy teachers. Why. should we on the farms try to discourage attempts to improve rural schools and protect our good teachers? What if it is necessary to pay larger salaries? Are the benefits to our children not worth it? The rural population seems to be able to stand the added Says troubles trying to hold the capital, the wets and drys fighting, your present banking system and farmers’ troubles, so to me it would not seem advisable to give up too much of your valuable space to the bygone days. However, to satisfy the few, I will be very brief and give them a little more. One party wants to know more about Denny Hannifin. Well, Denny was ® character that it would take Dickens to fully describe, and then he could write a whole volume. First he was a gambler and the sky was his limit. It was nothing for him to Tope in @ couple of thousand dollars in one sitting, and several times he broke the bank. His home was wherever he hung his hat, sometimes at the finest hotels but more often at the free-lunch lay out, as of course he had no value of money. Many @ night he would come up in. the Tribune office and crawl under the old mailing table. Aj/midnight, when the boys were eating their lunch, Denny would come forth and without @ word would proceed to satisfy the inner man and return to his bunk, as he was a man of very few words except when politics was in the air. Then put him on a packing case in the middle of the street and he could beat “Soapy” Jones. I want to tell the younger genera- tion that the times I am writing about were in the latter part of the 70's, when we were only a great big territory and did no’ get much as-- sistance from, the states. As a con- sequence we had to make a good many laws of our own. ‘Now considering that Bismarck was a frontier town at the end of the railway service, also a steamboat town, almost the terminal, with the old. stage coaches running out, it was never a real bad town. The citizens ‘seemed capable of handling things right. For instance, the largest and most profitable business in that day was the saloon with the back room attachments. Beer was sold at 10c a glass and strong liquor at two bits. Business was going along nicely when @ nice fellow arrived in town and opened up a place opposite the railway station. He put out a bulletin board with a nice flowing schooner of Bock beer at 5c for a schooner. Well, you know advertising pays, and that party did a roaring business all day and far into the night. But before morning he left town, but not in a Pullman, as he had one leg on one side of a round pole and was trying to bal- ance himself with the other on the opposite side while the usual clothing was put on. He never came back and we did not even have to pay 5c next day as it was all free while it lasted, thus you see that the main business of the town was saved, otherwise there might have been a big slump with the result that things would have gone like the big Florida real estate boom. Here is one that only the boys in the office can ap- preciate. The compositors on the Tribune came to an agreement that we would have all the headings put on a sep- arate hook and that each man in turn would have all the heads for one week. It so happened that the writer had the week when the news broke out that President Garfield had been shot. Turn up the old files and fig- ure out what I made that week, and please remember that I did not put on a sub that week. Well as I am trying to give a truthful report of those times, I may as well admit that I did not get back to work for 10 days and then my hands were very shaky, and, as you know, those were the only machines in those days that could handle type.
