DIXON URGING CARE OF OURSELVES Says That Spring Is the Time When Folks Should Not Forget Their Health ! i Dr. Samuel G. Dixon. State Coin ,inissioner of Health, says that March is tho month when people want to be careful of their health and to knovvr what, they are doing. He urges that great care be taken in clothing and also in diet. These are the doctor's ideas: "When nature arouses from her winter lethargy and the first faint promises of Spring softens the wind, man in common with all animal life harkens to the foretokening. "The desire for change and relief from the winter routine is strong in us all and while this is the time when caution should be exercised our im pulses seem to lead us to cast it aside, jThe high death rate from pneumonia and tuberculosis which is the inevit able accompaniment of the early Spring months is an irrefutable evi dence that this change from winter habits requires the exercise of caution J to prevent ervil results. "The city dweller in particular is; apt to over-eat and under-exercise; during the winter season. As a result when Spring approaches his physical i strength is below par. he becomes easily fatigued and therefore suscep-. tlble to the attacks of disease germs. "Old people who suffer from the cold during the winter and who do not appreciate that ventilation need not mean exposure, are apt to suffer from tl-.e sudden changes of temperature at this season of the year. It is particu larly due to these winter habits of poor ventilation and insufficient exer cise that when Spring arrives we feel debilitated. "The sensible liver who sleeps the year round in the fresh air, eats in moderation and exercises rationally is far less subject to Spring fever and Spring ailments than the more self indulgent individual. "During March when fluctuations of the temperature are frequent, care should be taken to maintain an even bodily temperature by proper protec tion in the way of clothing. Better some slight discomfort at noon than to be chilled on the way home from work at night. Moderation in diet is also advisable. This with a reasonable amount of exercise and well ventilated I sleeping rooms will aid In resisting the ! dangers accompanying the approach of Spring." Swindlers in Five Years . Get $351,000,000 During the last five years swindlers working through I'nlted Slates mail, have obtained $351,000,000 from the public, according to the estimates of the Post Office Department, copies of which have just been received by Post master Frank C. Sites. In. 1914 the amount was $68,000,000 and in 1 Ulo it was $100,000,000, proving that the authorities are reducing the evil, bv making it more dangerous to the operators. Last year TG2 arrests were made, resulting ill 3io convic tions; in 1!'13, 510 arrests were made with " n 4 convictions. The total ar rests during five years were 2,861 and an equal division of the total amount of swindled money among these would have given each one $122,684.
