How to- Avoid Colds During winter
This idea that many people have
that winter is an unhealthful season.
is MI wrong. Winter is just as health-
5ful as summer, if people will take care
Of themselves. If you want to go
through the winter without a cold, OBJ
serve these few simple rules:
Don't overhead your house, and
don't stop all ventilation. Sleep in q
cool room, but keep warmly covered.
Always take off your outdoor wraps.
when you come in the house, and all
ways put them on when you go out.
And, lastly, just as long as there is
snowon the ground, don't go out with
out your rubbers. This last rule is the
most important of all, for two colds,
out of three come from wet feet. . -

sE Butler Is Beaten.
London, Dec. 16.-Gen. Butler, in a
dispatch to the war Office, tells of a seri-
Gus reverse near Colenso while attempt
ing to cross the Tugela river, which is
looked upon as the worst event that has
transpired in the South African cam-
paign. The British troops were again
led into trap. Unable to withstand
the furious raining Of bullets from
Boer rifles, the British were forced to
retreat, and besides heavy losses in
killed and wounded, II big guns were
left behind.
Going to the Front.
London, Dec. 1S.-England is
aroused indeed. All her reserves, a
strong force of yeomanry, other
mounted volunteers, all her available
colonial troops, and a strong division
of militia are ordered to the seat Of
war. Field Marshal Lord Roberts will
go as commander-in- chief, and Gen.
Lord Kitchener, of Khartoum fame,
will accompany him as second in COM
mand. These startling orders have
been issued by the war office. They
mean that almost the whole strength
of the British empire will be flung
into South Africa.
Enormous Losses.

ports that his casualties in the Tugela
river battle reached total OF i, O97,
