DR. 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.
