Why Colds are Prevalent In the Winter. “The reason why we don’t have so many colds and so much pneumonia in June as we do in November lies in our lack of ability to live as rationally in November. We cut down on our supply of fresh air. We take less exercise. We subject our bodies to extremes of temperature. We shut ourselves up in crowded places where infection has ideal conditions to propagate itself. In June we were in the open air a lot, went walking and swimming and driving, kept the windows open and needed no cocktail to give us an appetite. Sad is the contrast now, and we pay the penalty. We take no more open air exercise, but we eat as much as ever. We work harder, but sleep less, for the social season is on. Only an hour or so a day are we in the open. For the rest of the time we are in sealed houses, stuffy subways and street cars, ill-ventilated offices, res taurants, theaters and ball rooms, breathing heated, humid air that has a high percentage of infec tious microbes. At a season when our resisting power is lessened by our way of life and the changes of the temperature, we keep our selves most of the time in places ideal for the spread of breathed in infection. Under these con ditions our internal allies haven’t a fair chance to put up a fight for us, and ‘seasonable ailments’ multiply. But do not blame the season. Don’t blame germs. It is up to us to meet the emer gency. And we can! By sim ple precautions we can lessen the risk of infection from disease germs, and by right living we can increase our powers of re sistance to their attacks.”— World’s Work. CRUDE MATERIAL IN GEORGIA Paper Mill to be Located in Georgia to Supply Local Demand. Atlanta, Ga., November 14. — Enough wood has been wasted around Georgia sawmills in the form of sawdust and slabs, to supply the whole United States with white paper for five years, according to a famous chemical engineer who recently visited the state. Why shouldn’t this wood waste be reclaimed and turned into paper by a plant located in the state? J. C. McAuliffe, president of the Georgia Press Association, accompanied by a committee from the association, has recent ly undertaken in New York to negotiate a contract to supply the newspapers in the association with white paper, and in con nection with this contract the committee also took up the sub ject of a paper plant in Georgia with several large paper manu facturers. In addition to the wood waste around abandoned sawmill sites, there >s a large quantity of waste in stumps left in the woods. Dodge County Ginning Report Shows Increase.
