W1IKX the autumn gales gro- rougher I feel sorry for the duffer, for the hobo who must suffer, for the man without n boss; it is bad for Weary Willie as he plods the road so hilly, when the nights are long and chilly, and the farmers' dogs are cross. He's a bleak and, joyless figure, shaken by the weather's rigor, hoping for a handout bigger than the one he had before; nothing, nothing can awftkeu self-respect, by him forsaken; hoping for some eggs and bacon, he is knocking lit the door. He is tattered and unshaven, croaking hoarsely like a raven, and he has no oilier haven t him the poorhouse or the jail; he is shooed from every collage, shooed with ndjetdives and swatlage, told to go and earn his pottage, told to hustle for the kale, lie might have the legal tender, he might live in slate and splendor, if he'd ruin n suspender, working hard, as others do; but if he must sprain his" body to secure a cot tage gaudy, all our culture is but shoddy, he believes, hu mind askew. So we have but little pity for tho outcast from tho eily, tramping where the roads nr gritty, when the night js coming on, and it's Utile men are earing if he dies where he is faring, if he's deader than n hcrri,' on soi cold and bitter dawn.

' 's what Infection means germs have penetrated your system, Invaded your tissues, It doesn't mean merely that you have inhaled or swallowed some germs. You're save and happy until the germs penetrate your system. Common sense Is what Dr. Reed calls his teachings on this subject; the old women will agree with him. Our second correspondent is getting warm, but she still harbors an erratic fancy that germs float about in the air. If they ever do. it is nothing to worry about. The germs of the res piratory Infections come in little gobs, droplets of moist u re or secret ion from the nose or throat of the person who is peddling the infection, though generally they spray so fine that you scarcely know you are getting It. Ord inary conversational range of this germ laden sprny, four feet; range In creases to ten feet with open face sneezing or coughing. I can only ridicule common sense rules on ventilation. Such rules mny be found in almost any textbook on hygiene. In my judgment if that Is what my editorial colleague wants nil such rules nro Just as foolish its the "common sense" advice Dr. Reed gives people who nro ttfftlictcd with Rilling?? compalnt. Instead of attempting to formulate such rules, which are propably not ac cepted by people who need such ad vice. I will merely mention a few scientific truths or facts and lenve the conclusion for the reader to draw for himself: 1. If the temperature of the office soars ahove 6S degrees Fahrenheit the nir Is foul. 2. A draft Is an air current, and ventilation without movement of the nir is Impossible. S. In nn artificially heated office mom the y.one of comfort lis between 64 and 6S degrees O. the humidity is fairly Rood nt that temperature. When the temperature rises ntmvc AS degrees K. the humidity falfc below the comfort level, and no practical means of keeping the humidity tip to comfort level is available. An ntmos where nt T3 degree and the low hu midity vhleh goes With that degree of hffit feels more chilly than nn atmos phere of 6 tl decrees and the more wholesome degree of hmntdlty which goes with that depree of bent. 4. One ran enjoy a lot of comfort, which is good health, if one Is entirely cured of Killings complaint. 5. Josh innings discovered this disenfe: He defined Itaslmply In these words: "The trouble with a lot of plain people Is they know so many things which nl't so." t Dr. Reed, like many others of his profession, seems to think that DIN lings complaint Is rather good for folk. This Is perhaps because ho has It himself. QVKSTIOXS A'F AXSW.US, Yawning 'nt 1bAit'rmi..

Ts it harmful to eat dried fruits that have heen preserved or bleached with sulphur dioxide' (S. fc ) Ans. Apples, for Instance, natural ly turn dark after they .have been sliced and allowed to stand In tho air. Ity exposing them to sulphur fumes (called sulphurous acid) It is possible to keep them from tourning so dark. This 1m a bleaching effect. . About half of the dried fruits on tlie market are so treated. Of course tho sulphu rous acid retained in tho fruit also acts ns a preservative, preventing mould or decay. For occasional In dulgence, a little sulphurous acid may be harmless. For regular or habitual eating I do not believe it is harmless. I should prefer fruits dried or pre served without this chemical treat ment. Try llio Museum. Tioaso give me'the namo of pub lisher, address, and price of your book "Personal Health." (S. AV. P.)
