17U THE IIKALTH BULLETIN. But the prizes were only the sugar coating. The feature that really counted most of all was the personal services and sacrifices of those who stood the burden of the work. Prominent among the workers were the various physicians throughout the State who made the examinations, the members of the Raleigh Nurses' Association who assisted the physicians, the Raleigh club women, who served on the reception committee, the young ladies from the Educational Department of Meredith College, who recorded the physicians' findings and kept the score cards, the Raleigh Boy Scouts, who were ever on the job as pages to run errands and be generally useful, the band from the Institution for the Blind, which rendered music at the presentation of the prizes, and a great many others whose deeds of kindness cannot here be enumerated. Many of those who rendered the most assistance with the contest have remarked to the writer that they felt will repaid when they saw the good that was being accomplished and saw how gladly many of the mothers received simple suggestions and advice in regard to bringing up ''Better Babies." THE PHILOSOPHY OF COLD FEET Rev. George W. Lat, Rector of St. Mary's School, Raleigh, N. C. "He got cold feet'' is a colloquial phrase involving several logical steps of cause and effect. These few words suggest the ideas that a person whose feet get cold has his vitality lowered, and that this has an effect on his nerves, and that when his nerves are affected his courage oozes out. There is no more important point in personal hygiene than keeping the feet warm. There are several ways in which we ward off attacks of disease, but the most important of all is the very simple method of keeping the w^hole body in a very high state of health. We are continually surrounded by the germs of disease, and, in fact, our bodies frequently contain them. We do not succumb to these diseases, because the body has sufficient resisting power to overcome their attack. The stronger the body, the more temperate and healthy the mode of life, the more sanitary our surroundings, the less likely are we to give in to attacks of disease. One-quarter of all of us have pneumonia germs in our mouths all the time. We do not have pneumonia because we are able to resist the attack of these germs, but if we become thoroughly chilled in any way we have pneumonia, not because we obtain the germs at that time, but because the germs we already had in our system are able to get in their deadly work. The same thing holds true of such germ diseases as our common colds, and some of the forms of indigestion. Plenty of exercise in the open air, abundance of fresh air at night, cold baths in moderation, and the right amount of simple and nourishing food, are all of them means to keep our bodies in their best state of strength to ward off the attacks of disease. If we are not sufficiently clothed, our circulation may be strong enough to keep us apparently warm and make us feel comfortable, but the system has had an extra strain put upon .t, and our vitality is thereby lowered.
