La Crime

at"--ln the sense OF being lightly con-
sidered and ilippantly treated 1t is a |
disease to be dreaded, TO be guarded |
against and if contracted to be com bat
ted heroically with such methods as |
seem in each individual case to be
most effective. 1t is peculiar dis |
order, the pathology of which is not |
understood. Perhaps it is rather a |
complication of disorders, partaking
of some features of common diseases
of known and we'll defined symptoms |
and processes. Probably no two per-
sons suffer exactly the same, and the |
same person is not affected two days |
alike. Symptoms are so various that |
a remedy that gives temporary relief |
to one has no effect upon another. A |
cold seems to be nearly universal |
symptom. Some days the disease will |
seem to have its seat in the head and |
influenza is the dominating trouble |
At such times the nasal passages
seem to become sewers of abomina- |
ton. At another time the lungs will |
be so involved that constant coughing
is the result with soreness and pain in |
these parts Another day the stom-
ach will be affected with nausea and
disgust for food. Severe headache is
a frequent experience and often dir
illness and giddiness The bones are
sore the limbs weak, and pain is felt
in the eyeballs. Sometimes one is
burning with fever and again so chilly
that he desires only to sit near a hot
stove.
The disease is most liable to attack
persons of weakened constitution or
of impaired health. 1t places the sys-
tenn in condition of peculiar Sus-
ceptibility to pneumonia-and this is
especially to be carefully guarded
against There is no known remedy
for the disease-no antidote. But it
is a disease that cannot be worried
| out Of existence by neglect. 1t is per
| sistent and it becomes every one to
| take such means to overcome as COM
mon sense and medical skill suggests.
Don't put your faith in patent medi-
cines One half of the virtue of a
patent medicine is in the advertise
ment and the other half ''in your
mind" If patent medicine has eff
ticiency your physician will know it
and if better than prescription Of
his own he will tellyou Some things
have been beneficial to some sufferers.
One of the first is to avoid exposure
At night put the feet in hot water
pouring in more and hotter as the
feet will bear. Drink hot lemonade
When you lie down put cloth wrung
from water as hot as possible to bear
over your lungs Go to sleep and sleep
all you can. In any event consult
your physician and do as he says
Stop that cough with Barnard &
Cloughs Cough Cure

The school teachers Of St. Paul and
Minneapolis are constituting them
selves into lobby to secure the pass
age by the legislature of an act to
pension superannuated teachers. The
act as formulated contemplates the
giving Of pensions to teachers in
cities Of 10000 inhabitants or more
who have taught % years and are suf-
fering from such physical or mental
disabilities as preclude them from pro-
perly performing the duties demand
ed of them, provided three-fifths Of
this % years service shall have been
performed in the municipality where
the teacher applies for the annuity.
The fund for pensioning these teac h
ers is to be mainly derived from a tax
on the salaries Of active teachers-the
act requiring that the board of educa-
ton withhold one per cent. of all
teachers salaries to be turned into
the pension fund. An act like the |
one contemplated is proper one, but |
it will be seen by its provisions that |
its benefits are limited to but few |
deserving teachers. 1t leaves out al !
toge ther the country teachers and /
those in towns of less than 10000. |
Besides the number who have given |
three-ffths Of the % years Of their
service to the city is very few, com
paratively.
