During the morning it will be naturally { polit'c to attend to routine work, and, in addition, you can map out and plan the things that you intend to attempt fn_ the afternoon, when it will be safs to embark on any new enter- prive, provided it is not speculative, and to put into effect any radical change of the necessity for. which you are convinced. In the evening the stimulating vibrations that will be present will awaken your best emotions and it would be well to yleld to this beneficent influence.

In character both boy and girl will be affectionate, emotional and loyal. They will at any time be willing to sacrifice their personal interests for those whom they hold dear. They will possess active minds, and be very resourceful. Their hearts will, how- ever, always dominate thelr heads.

Barly in March a comparatively mild type of influenza was epidemic in several widely separated communi- ties in New York State. The attack was characterized by chills, high fever, general aches or pains such commonly apoclated with and considerable prostration. In some; industrial communities the epidemic kept as many as 30 r cent of the workers absent for a few days. There was very little secondary pneumonia, however, and therefore very few fatalities. The public was advised that the only way to check the epidemic was for every one who developed the disease to take to bed promptly and stay there till fully recovered. This, was not only the best treatment and the best way to prevent complications, but also the best way | to limit the spread of the disease. Industrial concerns which suffered from absence of employes might be anxious to know whether any real preventive measures are worth while | —that {s, anything other than going to bed und staying there when you're sick. In order to suggest such a measure | it 1s necessary first to assume that| influenza is one of the common re-| spiratory infections, and that the virus or grem of the disease is sp! from person to person just as_the virus or germ of diphtheria {s. That | 1s, in practically all instances, by | mouth spray, minute particles of molsture or secretion spattered frora | the mouth (or nose) of one individual | who happens to be coming down with or {ll of the disease to the mouth or nose of the victim who is presently going to come down with the disease. This is almost heresy, from the older viewpoint. But it {s good, sound hygiene and nobody can challenge it on sclentific ground. TO THE WOMAN WHO HAS NO SERVANTS BRADY, M. D. al A fr The mouth spray has been found to have a range of not more than five feet In ordinary conversation, and the range increases to as much as 12 feet if the Individual prerepe- trates an open face cough or sneeze in_the presence of his victims. The air expired or breathed out by | one coming down with or fll of uny of the resplratory infections does not | contaln the germs or virus and is not contaminated or pulluted any more than the air expired or breathed out by a healthy person is. Now, then, the Individual who comes to work, business, school or| church, theater or indoor gathering of any description, having what pur. ports to be a “slight cold,” 1s & sus-. piclous character and should be kept out of range by those who do not wish to take to bed promptly with the influenza. Of course, the New York advice scarcely put the matter in this | candid for the ady atill be- | lieve in “Winter colds | (Copyright, 19" fc 89, Savory Potatoes.
