Open Windows and Fresh Air Preventatives Colds are the most common of all infections. There are just two prin ciples to remem ber. in order to avoid them. First avoid all possible exposure to cold infections. Sec ond, build up your vitality so that you can ov ercome all the in fection that you cannot avoid. In the fight against colds, fresh air is a double acting preventive. In the first place it dilutes and destroys the cold infection from those having colds, minimizing the victim's danger of in fecting others. On the other hand ft is the best of all tonics for building up the system. There is nothing so simple, cheap and easy for every one to get as fresh air. Sleep with your windows open summer and winter. Sleep warm in winter by using plenty of light, warm blankets. Have fresh air in the living room, office and shop by placing in clined boards, or pieces of glass across the lower part of the window and then raising the lower sash from six to ten inches. The incoming fresh air will be deflected toward the ceil ing. This prevents a draft and gives an agreeable mixture of air all over tbe room. The deflectors may be fast ened in place by cleats or adjusted by means of small chains. To avoid cold infection, keep away from the careless cougher, sneezer and spitting rather, than through nor mal breathing that the germs from the lungs, throat and nose' are sprayed into the atmosphere and breathed in by others. The mouth and teeth should not be kept as a menagerie for bacteria. Brush the teeth at least twice a day and keep them in good repair at all times. In treating a cold, begin early. The earlier the better. First of all secure prompt, free and easy bowel action. A hot foot bath should also be taken and the patient should then go to bed. Rest, fresh air, abundance of water and free bowel action are the prime factors in promoting a speedy cure. HEALTH QUESTIONS ANSWERED. B. T.: "What is the normal blood pressure for a man of 36?" From jl20 130. Idaho Described in Verse by Native Woman Laura E. Darrow has written a book of verse entitled "From Idaho to You" which is descriptive for the most part of Idaho and Idaho life. While it is written in a simple, direct style, none of the sentiment, beauty and rhythm has been sacrificed. The sheep camp| tyith1 the herders from far away Baltye, afe spoken of in Eve nin' and the care-free wagon tramps are familiar things of the west. It is a book which will please all people and is a fine example of western verse. The author is the wife of a prominent ranch owner and has spent the greater part of her days in Idaho and writes from the viewpoint of the native, attempting to adequately de scribe the beauties of her state.

Here is a kindergarten lassie in her New Year frock. It is a Starr-Best model of striped crepe but in cheviot or serge or chambray it would be just as cunning. The deep pockets are the best thing about it, the girl may think, but the collars and cuffs of white picque, and the glass buttons that match the green in the dress are pretty bits of trimming.
