which will cure itself shortly. The pre-
cautions should be especially with refer
ence to children. An hours exposure may
cost them life. Bewa of the languor,
the feverishness, the shortness of breath,
and do not dismiss them as symptoms of
cold which children are supposed to
have as matter of course Now, if
ever, keep the feet dry and warm, avoid
as much as possible the sharp change
from the heat of the dwelling room or
Office to the outer air. Keep the system
well nourished against attacks, so that

of an epidemic disease, but the epidemic
is rare which carries off so many persons
in the course of year as does the
neglected cold. Usually it is only when
too late that people learn how little
neglect may be fatal, Herein is a pitiful
misfortune of the poor, that they are not

weather as this, without proper food to

to properly care for their sick when the
cold has done its worst. Look out for the
pneumonia now, remembering its insidi-
BUSINESS, and that it may develop when

not be traced.
Many people contend that the late
blizzard was not to be compared with that
of 1888. Others say it was worse. Care
full thought leads most of those who had
a taste Of both to say that the late un-
pleasantness was the worst of the two.
In the first place, that 1888 was accom-
panied by rain, which made the snow
heavy, while the flakes of Thursday
evening were light. True it is that the
railroads were blocked for several days in
1888, but then the companies were not
prepared for such an experience 1t
taught them lesson, and to day it will
take mighty severe blizzard to keep the
roads tied up for so long a period as was
the case in 1888. The winter of '73 has
been also quoted as being a record
breaker, but the weight of argument is
against it, and we must eoncede the palm
TO '95 Rev. John Gruhler, who has a
very good memory, says that in the many
years he has lived here this one was the
most severe. His experience in 1873, when
he officiated at the funeral of Mr.. Aker,
reminded him of the fact that the winter
of that year was no com parison to this.
The present winter has been a remark
able one so far as sleighing goes but it
does not equal the record of the winter OF
1856, when we had good sleighing for
ninety days. The first sleighing this
winter was on Dec. Goth and it has con
tinued since that time, a total up to date
of forty-eight days.
Several bills have been reported from
committee in the state Legislature to re
