'Ware Balmy Weather,
, Say Doctors; Keep on
; Your Heavies Awhile
' The bright weather,' soft balmy
t preezes and spring-like atmosphere
is pneumonia-making, according to
fl
Omaha physicians. They say the
weather is deceptive and too many
persons are lured into the contract
ing of bad colds and pneumonia by
(aking off too much heavy clothing

early.
Especially are young women mak
ing themselves liable, the physicians
say. They go .forth with flimsy
Stockings and peftic.qa.ts. .The pretty
stockings of course necessitate short
skirts. The evil germs lurking in the
balmy winds have a wonderful oppor
tunity to progress. Even the ears are
now being exposed. Soon a cold
starts, then pneumonia, then flow
ers. .Dr. E. T. Manning who has charge
qf medical inspection in public
schools: Dr. F. T. Wearne and Dr.
J. F. Langdon, as well as other
Omaha physicians, advise against
sudden changes from heavy to light
clothing. They advocate a gradual
' change. Anyway they say "winter is
not over yet. There's still plenty of
tjme to get into the pretties."
