Animals Avoid Draughts

Said a prominent physician to a reporter for the Philadelphia Press: "It's a singular thing that animáis as a rule are much more observant of the ordinary rules of health than human beings are. One half of the serious colds and many of the fatal fevers originate through the exposure of the body to a direct draught of air f rom a window to a door or between doors or windows. It ia one of the most common things to seo overheated persons on a warm day with coat and waistcoat off enjoying ■what to them seems to be an agreeable breeze between two open windows. A day later they feel badly, have taken cold and they can't teil where. A dog will lie for hours on a porch, in the room, or hallway, but the very moment open doors or windows allow a current of air to touch him, he jumps up and changes his lounging place. You can't forcé a dog to lie in the draught; he knows the risk and invariably avoids it."
