Wherein a Common Cold is Worse
Than the Contagioa We Dread.
A man once over typhoid or scarlet fever
has the consolation of knowing that the
chances are against a recurrence of the at
tack. It's different with the common null
sance we call catching cold; one lit of cough
ing, .snftfling and sneezing is no guarantee
against another One may have indefinite
colds unless he takes proper precautions, and
each attack leaves him little weaker than
he was before.
What, then, is a safeguard against cold ct
this tickle and treacherous time of year :?
Science and common sense reply: Dufy's
Pure Malt Whisky. Why? Because it warns
and strengthens. It retards the decay of lis
sue, increases the power to assizniate food
and overcome weariness of the nerves. 1t

no more get Q hold than a horse with dull
shoes can get a firm footing on ice.

sunlit hours tempt even prudent people to be
reckless about their health. Keep the counsel
just given in your memory, and keep d bottle

Now law OF nature does not cease to
operate because we are ignorant of it's ex-

by repeated experience. We may not
realize that we make our present lives

experience proves that it has Just this

To perceive the cause. knowledge of the
TACT IS concealed from the sufferer only

his happiness increased by a generous

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BAIL.
Louie Fon Claims He is Entitled

In the Police Court yesterday morning
Justice Davis made the final entry sem
fencing a Chinaman named Louie Eon to
four months Imprisonment in the County
Jail for being vagrant.
Last week w. a. Anderson, the China
mans attorney, gave notice that he would
appeal the case to the Superior Court,
and asked that his client be admitted to
bail pending the appeal. This Justice
Davis refused to do, and as soon as court
adjourned yesterday MIR. Anderson sued
out writ of habeas corpus in the Supe-
rlor Court, which was made returnable in
Judge Catlin's court in the afternoon.
MIR. Anderson said the defendants
rights were Interfered with by his not
being allowed to give bail. If the Justice
has the discretion to admit a prisoner to
bail, the discretion in this case was an
abusive one. The attorney cited several
sections OF the law and opinions in sup
port OF the habeas corpus proceedings

heId that the defendant should have ap-
Piled Tor a certificate OF probable cause,
and II that was denied him then he could

Judgment, and il Justice Davis should
elect to grant the certificate it was not
likely he would grant the bail even under
that circumstance. II the defendant is
denied bail. cOntended the attorney. he
must suffer the judgment. 1t would be
forcing him to serve out the sentence inn

punishment is death, pending an appeal.
