rnnE mn ZOE COLDS.


TENS undermined by acute pneumonia, or sharp
stack ofinhuenza orcatsrrh, this statement seems
in NO wise extravngant. Therefore look out Tor
colds and avoid the causes that lead to their de-
velopment ia every possible way.
Besides the ordinary exposure Of going out Win
thnsoled shoes on the cold, icy streets OF facing
sharp storm without the chest sufficiently pro-
tecied; Of sitting in hot halls and churches
without removing the outer wraps and then going
out % be suddenly chilled by wind and snow,
there are two certain causes Of cold which should
be carefully avoided. Ofthese the FIRST IS shutting
out every wait Of fresh air by mailing down win
dOws and stopping mp creyices. The otheris "a con-
slant irritation tie lungs By cold air breathed at
night Avoid these extremes If you would have
any sort Of health.

Wild rOved Indian girl,
Bright A4laFsta,
Where sweep The waters
OF the biue 5uuiata.
SWih antelope
Through ile forest going
Loose were her jetty locks
An Hagg tEesseses flowing.
Gay was the mountain song
OF bright Alfargta
Where sweep tic Waters1s
OF the blue guniata.
StrOBg and true my aTr0Ws are
IN my painted culver,
Swift goes ny light canoe
haoWn the rapid river.
Bold Is my warrior good.
The aDEe 81 Alfarata;
Proud waves his snowy plume
Along Tie Jugiata.
Soft and low he speaks 10 me.
And though his sgar-cry sounding
Rings his voice ~ thunder loud
From tlgt1 10 hight rcsounding.
So sang the Indian girl
Bright Ailnrata.
Where sweeps the waters
OF the biae 5uniala.
