A Gold Cure.

Nothing is easier to cure tn an a
common cold, provided we take it in
time. The first hour after the cold
has been taken it may be easily cured
by restoring warmth and equalizing
the circulation. A good plan is to
sit with the back near the fire whether
in the stove, fireplace or furnace, and
get the back thoroughly warmed.
Colds arising from wet feet are best
treated by soaking the feet in hot
water with mustard in it, at the same
time taking hot drink and then wrap
ping up in a warm bed for a good
sleep. Hot lemonade should be drank
in sufficient quantity TO open the
pores of the skin that have been
closed by the cold.

That is not fact. but may be al

the lips of the kisser and the kissee
Allied with air. 1t is sad, but 1t Is a
fact that the circumambient air stands

Though Louis Pasteur was well
known throughout the world for his
studies and discoveries in biology, he
sank his personality in his work tc
such a degree that few knew him per-

others. Rarely had a great scientist
lived so exclusively in the narrow con-
fines of his laboratory. Agassiz said
that he could not afford to stop from
his work TO make money, and Pasteur
had the same willingness to leave to
others what they could do as well as
he could.
