Health Rules for Cold Weather

The Spaniards have a proverb that "the man who sits with his back to a draught sits with his face to his coffin." This is the time of year to remember health rules. Many a cold will be taken in churches. The people will walk to church in the warm sun of some of the autumn days wearing their overcoats. On entering the building, colder than the outside, having neither sun nor fire, they will remove their coats and sit down in a perspiration. The true method is to carry the coat on the arm, and put it on when entering a cold room and ceasing the exercise.—Selected.
