from succession of colds. or follows a

there are sudden changes of weather which
render colds prevalent catarrh follows as a
matter OF course. The most fertile source
of catarrh is cold or damp feet. consequent

feature of catarrh that simple change of

Hang apples. rich and mellow.
And that's the way. through Wonder lane

That looks so thin and faded.

But when went through Wonder lane

And many patient care.

Sanitation.

In the minds of a great many people
it is foregone conclusion that the cho-
lera will visit America the coming
summer The State Board Of Health
for Tennessee, has, for some months
past, been vigorously urging upon the
citizens and authorities of every town
in the State thorough system of saDi
tation. While McMinnville, in the
past, has enjoyed complete immunity
from epedemics, yet, if We disregard the
common laws of health we cannot hope
to continue so fortunate. Let every
citizen take immediate steps to put his
entire premises in good sanitary condi-
ton before warm weather opens, and
it would not be bad idea for our
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen to take
the matter under consideration and
press a prompt prosecution Of this
work. In case of a cholera outbreak
In this country, there will doubtless be
a big rush of refugees from the stricken
districts to our town, and we should be
prepared to ieceive and entertain them
without any fear of development Of
the dread disease in cur own midst
Action is the duty of the hour, and it
behooves every citizen to see that the
matter is not neglected. Let the good
work proceed, and that without further
DELAY.
