CHILDREN AND COLDS.
Some Very Good Advice About the Care of Little
 Ones.

From Harper's BaZar.
 In some households it Is taken as a matter of course that during the winter months the children shall have an unremit- ting succession of colds, which render the little ones uncomfortable themselves, and excessively disagreeable to persons with whom they come in contact But this state of affairs is due to ignorance. The edu- cated mother now appreciates that an in- fluenza is an unnecessary adjunct to her child's personality, and that chronic ca tarrh is to be avoided as in any other dis ease. She takes precautions to prevent colds, and if by some mischance they come, knows how to care for the patient in the earlier stages of the complaint, or until such time until she finds it advisa- be to consult physician. But, above all she believes in the precaution that is stronger weapon than cure.
 In the first place, the small child must wear woolen next to his skin, and this woolen must extend to neck, wrists and ankles At night his sleeping garments are Canton flannel drawers with feet; or, better still, they are of knit or woven material, three quarters wool and one-quar- ter cotton. These are to be bought ready made, and already shrunk, with so many improvements that they are very nearly perfect Under the night drawers goes shirt which clings more closely than does the larger outside garment. Of course, this shirt is changed for another in the day time It may be well to remark, in passing that union suits (shirt and draw CTS in one piece) are now made for child ren, and are not a necessity. Indeed, many mothers find they keep the feet too moist, and thus render the wearer sensitive to cold.
 Unless he Is not well, the properly con- ducted child will go out every day that the weather is not actually inclement These outings need not be of a lengthy character If the thermometer is very low or the wind keen and raw. For small child all walks and drives and outdoor play should come between the hours of Il a. m. and p. m The nursery must be sunny room in which the thermometer gets no higher than 70. During the night it may be cool and well ventilated. As the feet are pe- culiarly sensitive to chill they should be protected by stout shoes, and in damp weather overshoes must be worn. Run ming about the room barefooted is habit of which the wise mother disapproves, and which she forciby forbids.
 After the children are bathed and their heads shampooed, they may be treated to a brisk rubbing down with alcohol This should also be freely applied to the head after it has been rubbed dry with a coarse towel.

WRECK IN VIRGINIA.
Freight and Passenger Trains Collide at CIarks
 Summit

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 25.--vestibule passenger train No. 6 on the Norfolk and Western railroad, which left Bristol, Tenn, last night at 9:05, came in collision with a freight at Clark's Summit at 11:30. The engines of both trains were badly wrecked, es were number of freight cars and the baggage and postal cars of the passenger train.
 R. H. Ashmore, express messenger, was badly injured about the head and chest and it is thought he will die. Postal Clerk Hof- man was instantly killed, his body being ground to pieces and thrown under the second class coach. Fireman Collins had both his legs cut off and was otherwise horribly cut and bruised and was thought to be dying from the effects of his injuries. Engineer McCarty was severely cut about of contusions on his body and is thought to be internally injured. He will die
 The wreck was occasioned by the engi- pser of the freight train mistaking a figure 8 for 3 in the orders. Because of this mistake the freight was running ahead of time about five minutes, and the passenger was running on the delayed time of l hour and 45 minutes, the passenger expecting to pass the freight at Clark's Switch. There is no telegraph station at this point, and the conductor of the passenger supposed the freight had been held at the siding two miles further on. None of the passen- gers were hurt, all escaping with a severe shock

OPELlKA ITEMS.
New Telephone Line COmpeted-The Dummy
 Property Leased.
snecial to The Age-Herald.

special 10 lne ASe-Ilei diu'
 Opelika, Dec. 25.-A telephone line has been completed between Opelika, Marvyn and Society Hill, distance of twenty miles. The two latter places are the center of the finest farming section of the state, and the line Is of great convenience and benefit. It was built by Opelika and Mar yyn capitalists.
 The dummy line between ODelika and Auburn, which has been abandoned for over year. has been leased by Ryder x Son of this city. A new equipment is be- ing prepared, new rails are being laid and in few weeks the line, which is seven miles long. will be put in active operation.
 The United States marshals operating from Opelika are doing a landoffice busi- ness Most of their arrests are made in Clay and Randolph counties, and some one is brought in daily, charged with violating the revenue laws. Deputies Booth, Taylor Carroll and Thompson captured 5O- gallon copper still and a 200-gallon wooden one near Wedowee last night, which they destroyed. together with 800 gallons of whisky. They caught Gus Smith and Bud Dukes operating 1t and ran them in.
 The people of this section concede that The Age-Herald is the finest, most com plete and accurate newspaper ever pub lished in Alabama, which is simply state- ment of plain fact.
