Passing On Contagion.
The time of the year has come when
many persons have severe colds and
tgrip and influenza. and people should
consider not merely how they can es
cape these troubles, but how they can
avoid passing them on.
The people who keep out of doors
the most are most apt to avoid these
infections. They become used to
changes in temperature. and do not
fall victim to the germe every time
the temperature drops a few degrees.
When people feel really sick with
these attacks, they do not help busi-
ness much by keeping at work. A
day at home in bed will often save
a serious iliness for themselves and
the people they associate with. And
if they will avoid coughing and sneez-
ing in people's faces, they will do
something to keep their own germs at
home,

from which to choose Christmas gifts.
