256 THE inKALTH BULLETIN IF YOU WOULD AVOID PNEUMONIA Lire and Sleep in the Fresh Air NEUMONIA is a germ disease ^^ and is usually brought on by the lodgment of the pneumococcus germs in the membranous tissues of the throat or lungs. If a person is well and strong these germs are not likely to hurt him seriously. A slight cold may be the result. But if he is run down, dissipated, or if he in any way has a weak constitution, his chances are not so slight. Much can be done to guard against pneumonia if one will avoid unreasonable exposure and at the same time w^ill practice the rules of personal hygiene or right living. Working too hard or excessive exercise with extreme exposure is a common factor in preparing the way for pneumonia. Overeating, particularly if there is an excess of meat in the diet, is another thing which often injures the body and lowers its vital resistance to disease. Alcohol, in whiskey, patent medicine or otherwise, is one of the most powerful allies of the pneumonia germ, and even moderate drinkers show a much higher death rate from this disease than abstainers do. But bad air is, of all bad influences, perhaps the most important in its effect on colds and pneumonia. People who live much in the open air, who never close the windows of their sleeping rooms in winter, and who bathe daily almost never catch colds, or if they do, the colds are light ones. Robbing yourself of sleep puts a mortgage on your future health and happiness. Nature will foreclose. THE PRICE HE PAID I said T would have my flins:, And do what a young man may; And T didn't believe a thing That the parsons have to say. I didn't believe in a God That gives us blood like fire, Then flings us into hell because We answer the call of desire. And I said: "Religion is rot, And the laws of the world are nil; And the bad man is he who is caught And cannot foot his bill. And there is no place called hell; And heaven is only a truth. When a man has his way with a maid, In the fresh, keen hour of youth. "And money can buy us grace, If it rings on the 'plate of the church; And money can neatly erase Each sign of a sinful smirch." For I saw men everywhere. Hotfooting the road of vice; And women and preachers smiled on them As long as they paid the price. So I had the joy of my life; I went the pace of the town; And then I took me a wife. And started to settle down. I had gold enough and to spare For all of the simple joys That belong with a house and a home And a brood of girls and boys. I married a girl with health And virtue and spotless fame. I gave in exchansre my wealth And a proud old family name. And I gave her the love of a heart Grown sated and sick of sin I My deal with the devil was all cleaned up. And the last bill handed in. She was going to bring me a child. And when in labor she cried. With love and fear I was wild— But now I wish she had died. For the son she bore me was blind And crippled and weak and sore I And his mother w^as left a wreck, It was so she settled my score. I said I must have my fling. And they knew the path I would go; Yet no one told me a thing Of tvhat I needed to know. Folks talk too much of a soul From heavenly joys debarred— And not enough of the babes unborn. By the sins of their fathers srarred. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Give your doctor a chance to cure you by consulting him early. If you feel grouchy and blue take a long walk out into the country; it will do you good in both body and mind. _ ''Everyone must eat his peck of dirt" is an aphorism of a by-gone day. To act upon it may pile many bushels of dirt upon your untimely coffin.
