10 GET FRESH 1
Dr. Ilortltn Stewart's tnlk on open
nir schools vesterdnv afternoon, in
which hIio ndvised the mothers to
take hatchets nnd smnsh the win
dows of every schoolroom in the
town rn titer than ace their children
fading nwny like hothouse plants, n
they nre now, met with uproarious,
npplouse. Dr. Stewnrt characterized
the parents of Medford ns criminal"
for allowing such vile conditions u.
exist in our schools ns we nre guilty
of doing. "When you mothers see
your children growing pnle nnd dull
of eye, listless nnd uninterested in
everything, how enn von sit still nnd
do nothingt" asked the doctor. "You
nre barbarous nnd cowards if you
do not ric up in wrath nnd dentntid
thnt conditions be chnnged for your
children. They nre the most prec
ious things thnt you possess, nod yet
you go cnlmly on, allowing their ;
ies nnd hrnins to he destroyed right
before your eyes.
"Think how rosy their checks nre
nfter the summer's life out of doors
how brisli tho'r eves nnd how in
tense their interest in ever
nbout them. Then wntch how eneb
day in school dulls this brightness
stenls the roses from their chock 4
nnd the brightness from their eye
Yon nre ovory one of you criminals
to allow these things to go on."
Dr. Stuart had Just returned from
another visit to the high school and
she was boiling with Indignation at
the conditions eho found there.
"When I entered tho corridor the
air was stifling. A teacher Informed
mo In a whisper that she realized it
was hot but there was no way of get
ting fresh Wr for the windows were
nailed down.
"Think of that. Windows nallel
down In your high school In this city.
It was tho same In tho assembly room.
I asked if wo couldn't open tho win
dows. The teacher complied and soon
wo had something llko a healthful
and living atmosphero thero. Tho
result was miraculous. I had twice
tho interest that I had the day before.
Tho girls and boys wero alert and
alive, and I feel sura retained some
thing that was said." '
There is nothing freakish In this
idea. Tho fresh air school Is an es
tablished fact in Portland and other
cities. .Tho Idea started in Doston for
tubercular children. Results wero
marvellous. Not only did tho chil
dren Improve In health but they
learned twice as much as beforo In
half tho time. So the school author
ities argued If open air schools were
good for sick children why not for
tho well. As a result every large city
In the' United States almost has one
or more open air schools."
"nut won't the children ta'ko cold I
am asked. No. In an open air
school in Portland 40 children went
through tho winter without a cold. In
a hot air school thero were 36 colds
among 40 children.
"Of course the students can't sit
in an out door atmosphere all day.
They must exercise and move about.
The accepted plan Is for 20 minutes
of study and then recreation. Tho
schools In Medford at present dry up
the children's eyes, warp their shoul
ders and bako their brains. No won
der they learn littlo and aro fit sub
jects for anemia, catarrh and colds.
No wonder they fall asleep at their
desks. The open air school room has
100 per cent deportment. Tho chil
dren aro too full of Interest and
health and mental alertness to misbehave."'

STEWAR
I
Dr. Hcrthn Stewart closed her ser
ies of lectures lust night at the pub
lic library. A very Inrgo nnd inter
ested midcinco learned the -onuses,
cure nnd nfter effects of the com
mon cold. Dr. Stcvvmt believes th.it
colds nre absolutely uniteeenry
evils ttud not, as we have nlwnyi
supposed, an necompnniment of winter.
The reason we lmvc colds in win
ter nnd none in summer should be
proof of thi. Wo breathe fresh nir
nil day nnd nil night long in warm
weather because the heat is too mi
benrnblc if the heat of our bodies U
added to that of n hot, closed room.
But in winter time we unit down
our windows, pile on the conl, dry
out our mucous membranes, bake
our brains and wonder why we hnve
colds.
If the cold gets a start go to bed,
take a sweat tor one hour, reduce tho
diet anil take only easily digested
food. Take enema and laxative, gar
gle with hot water and, if the co'd Is
In tho bead, inhale steam three or
four times daily.
Uso gauze in handkerchief and
burn or use paper napkin.
Have plenty of fresh air in the
room and keep well covered. lie sure
to boll all dishes used by the patient.
Mothers of families often have
colds and use a tasting spoon in stir
ring food on the stove. This Is not
dangerous if the food Is thoroughly
boiled but Is often tbo cause of tho
whole family becoming affected.
It Is estimated that each wage
earner of the United States loses a'
least two days more often five a
year with colds. This causes an
economic loss of $60,000,000 plus
$20,000,000 for doctors' bills and
patent medicines making $S0,000,-
000 or more likely $100,000,000 that
Is wasted every year to say nothing
of the suffering and the after cf
fects.
Most cases of tuberculosis begin
with the common cold, as haa been
learned by statistics. Pleurisy, bron
chitis, pneumonia, kidney troublea
and anemta are the direct result of
the contraction of a cold.
Tests havo been made that show
conclusively that wq need not haw
colds at all If we sleep in the open
air, eat right, breathe deeply and
keep out of crowded rooms where
ventilation Is poor and Insist on reg
ularity In all our habits and those of
our children using only, tho com
mon sense laws of hygiene to guide
us.
