Pr-esh Air and onaad Health. There are deny persons who seem afraid of the fresh air. A little rain. a little wind, a little fog. a little chill in the air will keep them within doors. Going out, they bundle up In clothes so thickly that one would think they were tender shrubs transplanted from some more genial clime. The healthy people, however, are not the health craika, not the people who run to the doctor every time they feel an ache. They are the people who walk a great deal In the frosh air, who live In the open as much as they can and who take a vacation Ini the country every year.--ait Franctsio Bulleotitn. A Siasgalar Feret.
