CAN COLDS BE AVOIDED

From the Chicago Times-Herald
 The last issue of the London Spectator at hand has an interesting article on Catch ing Cold" evidently written by physi- clan. In conclusion he asks himself. "Shall we ever be able to avoid colds altogether?' That is conundrum we would all like to hear answered authoritatvely in the affirmative. This writer is optimistic, and says: "JProbably we shall; probably ere long our bacteriologists having discovered the hostile microbe, having learned his habits. traced his life history and traced him to his lair, will be able to show us how We can get the better of our foe, so that in the oft-recurring struggle. he, not we, will succumb, and we shall soon cease to fear him."
 But while we are waiting for this much to-be-desired deliverance from the cold ml- crobe what can we do to abate this all- pervading disease which men, horses and cats appear to be especially heirs to?
 There are places where it is impossible to catch cold, for the simple reason that there are no colds to catch. For three years Nansen and his men were exposed to all sorts of conditions favorable to catching cold. This led Nansen to tell the writer in the Spectator that "of course there is no doubt that cold is an infectious disease We had none during our journey, and we all got it (very badly, tool at the very moment we reached Norway"
 Some people believe that the majority of illnesses begin with a simple cold, and the doctors say that some people are more or less correct. Coddling will not prevent colds It only renders the coddled more susceptible to infection when the inevitable exposure to the frosty germ comes.
 No one can be more immune from colds so far as medical investigation and science has proceeded. But every one can render himself or herself less susceptible to infec- tion by the hardening process-to-wit, sleep ing in cold bedrooms, keeping the tempera- ture of our houses below rather than above 70 degrees, dressing warmly, eating blood making food, and taking plenty of exercise iu the open air.
 But no matter what precaution you take the cold mcrobe will catch you even

GRIP GERMS IN TELEPHONES

New York Telegram to the Chicago Tri-
 bune.
 If scientists are to be believed, the tele- phone is constant menace to the public health and the abode of grip germs. This is what pr. E. John Kaufman, of 56 West Thirty-third street, said tonight:
 More case of grip have been coughed and sneezed into the telephone to be con- tracted by the next user of the instrument, than have proceeded from all other sources combined.
 ''There has been much speculauon," he went on, "as to the causes of the recent epi- demic of grip, which has not yet spent its force. Together with one of the leading bacterioogists of the city, I visited several of the finest hotels, and also a number of the public telephone exchanges. I mounted some clean cotton on piece of wire and rubbed around the inside of the mouthpiece of the telephone receiver. I made lot of these exhibits, placing each one in a small bottle and carefully corking 1t so that there could be nothing on the cotton but the scraping from the receivers. Then the cot ton balls were taken in hand by the bacterl- ologsts
 'The result was we found multitude or the grip bacilli.
 "There are 45,0OO telephones at least in New York, and I figure that there have been from 5000 to 40000 cases of grip. I will tell you why there has not been more | conta zion from this source. It does not fol- | low that every ore that uses the telephone | is susceptible to the grip, and the same Is l true of all diseases proceeding from germs. "There should be a reform, now that 1t is certain that the grip al least is contracted from telephone receivers and the receivers should be kept clean"

erated much from Russia in the Port Ar thur direction, but Beguljuboff in Herat would mean war unless his vis.. were of a fitting and temporary nature.
 This the czar knows perfectly well, and yet Russian diplomacy Is reported to be very active of late Afghanistanwards. It is devious and far-seeing diplomacy which has resented curious inquiry into its Chin csc excursions, and perhaps the new deal is only intended after all to divert attention from Manehuria. A prolix correspondence on Herat might enable other generals with names like ripping music to launch along a little farther toward Picking.
