220 THE WONDERFUL HOUSE THAT JACK HAS 



how little fun there is in the croup, colds, and fevers 

 that often follow ! How many good times are missed 

 through being kept in the house by such unnecessary 

 illness ! Active girls and boys would not voluntarily 

 choose to shut themselves up in the house away from 

 the jolly fun of out-of-door sports. They simply do 

 not consider the consequences of such carelessness. 

 Nor is loss of pleasure the only result, for chronic colds, 

 catarrh, or even more serious troubles are likely to 

 follow, if the careless wetting of feet and clothing is 

 often repeated.
