It would be interesting, remarks the New York Sun, if the Health Department could discover whicli set of men yields most easily to the influenza germ —the careless coatless, who try -to make their circulatory systems keep them warm, or the set who go ulstered and perspiring. The inquiry need relate only to men. It has long been established that women pay no such heed to heavy clothing as men do, and that they, hare of throat and back, and wearing autumn furs only for fa-shion, are not such easy prey to germs as their more cautious husbands. The temaie of the specie* is more husky than the male.
