do is to make sure you are in good
physical condition. During an ep-

are exposed to influenza. As long as
you are really well, thered corpuscles
of your blood fight off and defeat dis
ease germs. But when vou are tired
and run down, when vou feel all
right except that you heven't much
energy or enthusiasm, your blood is
tired out too, and you are an easy
