liamentary representatives is Con-

been any demand from women them
selves for this privilege except on the
part Of Q few women agitators, but
some men have been found to cham
pion the cause in the hope Of securing
women's votes at the polling booths

Africa can become great game pre-

MANY PEoPLg CATCH COLD.
slight Causes Often Produce Serious Re-
 suits to Men,s Health.

The various ways in which colo may be brought on are thus described by Dr. J. H. Kellogg: A little Anife blade of air blowing in through crack in a window upon some part of the body will chill that part and tho blood vessels of that region will be. come contracted, affecting somewhere In the interior of the body an area in reflex relation with this portion of the surface of the body. For instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top of the shoulders and the chest are asse- c1ated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever happens to the blood vessels of the skin of the shoulders and chest happens also to the blood vessels of the lungs If there IS contraction of the blood vessels of the back of the neck there will be a contraction of tke blood vessels of the nose and throat, and if there is contraction of the blood vessels of the top of the shoulders and the shoulder blades, there will also be a contraction of the blood vessels of the lungs
 When the influence Of the cold is con- dnued this contraction is followed by congestion. When one puts his hands into cold water, for few minutes they are first pale and then red. This is re. action. The longer the application and the more intense the degree of cold the greater will be the contraction and the congestion. So I the hack Of the neck is exposed for q long time to tha influence of cold one is likely to have 8 cold in the nose and throat; if the shoulder blades and the tops of ths shoulders are exposed one fs likely to take cold in the lungs and suffer from congestion of the lungs. If the cold is long continued 1t nay cause not only 8 congestion but an inflammation of the nose or lungs. So if the bottoms of the feet become wet or chilled a weakness of the bladder may result if there has ever been a trouble there, or 8 weakeess of the stomach if there has been 1atarrh of that organ"

Thres 1eo:so..e sn Tobacco Smoke.

.. Binz, in the Oeutsehe Aerzte-zei
 tung, says there are three kinds of poi. son in tobacco smoke: nicotine; that which is obtained by the slow ash for nation, pryridin, etc, and carbonic ox~ ide. Carbonic oxide is always easly shown to be present in tobacco smoke. It's percentage depending upon the vol ume of the smoke gas, varies between 06 and 7.6. The variations depend upon the rapidity of the ash formation and the quantity of the atmospheric air drawn in or the lung air blown out. 4 never-s~-slight acute poisoning from carbonic acid of tobacco eTnoke is, un- der ordinary conditions, scarcely to be expected Whether the daily taking in of the small quantity of carhonic oxide which, through many years Of smoking, gets int the blood of smok sra. cannot set up a chronic injury, Is question still to be settled.

WHY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have More Leisurs Time Than Men and
 Naturally Think Over Things.

Have More Leisure Time Than Hien aaa
 Naturally Think Over Things.
 From time immemorial women have beer told-by women. as well as men. though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tfesses. These warnings do lit
 tie good. The fair creatures go oh worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes. Why this is so is answered in this way Tie question Of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom= en are so hedged about by the little- ness of their protected Ives-for it is the protected woman who does the most worrying-that 1t is hard to seq beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo- GUS. If women had the capacity with men oI getting up and doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels thai he has it within him (since money making is hls business) to make suffi- cient money to pay his debts-some time Women look at it more prac- tically, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the time. Let him become i'll, though, and have to stop his work, and how is il with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested in the present; nor about his clothes, for the tailor stands between him and that; nor about home matters-they. from his point of view, are too trivial until he comes home to badly cook ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an eIn- nloye does not do his work properly, his employer gets some one who can. a method that will get come to be Q powerful lever in the 1evelins of wom- en's worries.

FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
-The Chamber of Horrors" Which wAa
 Built A Hundred Years Ago.

One Of the curiosities in England al present is the old convict ship Success, which has recently been converted into museum, or into what foreign jour nalist style "a chamber of horrors" ]" She was built 110 years ago, and her first years were spent in cruising be- tween the East Indies and England. Ill 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of wester, Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in command. and from his Scottish birth place She town of Perth in Australia takes it's same. From 1S47 to 1851 the Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip shs had on board several hundged immI- grants who intended to seek tHeir for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes, The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Van Diemenss Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as a floating prison for especially dangerous efina- inals. The vessel then became nopu- tarly know nas The Hefi of the Ocean, tide which was evidently well deserved old records show t'let some awful scenes took place on her The prisoners. cells were tn two tiers under the deck. and were so small that inmates could hardly move 1n them.

ARTIFICIAL SILK.
Development Of the Industry Now
 Going On by Leaps.


 Going On by Leaps.
 The silk worm, with it's. comparative. ly small output, has now a rival in artificial Silk and it was to explain the processes by which tnls is produced that Joseph Cash, chairman of faer tory at Wolsten, near Coventry. read a paper at the Society of Arts, says the London Mail. Sir T. Wardle presided. Many attempts have been made, said MT. Cash, to produce material resem- bling silk, but only recently have they resulted in a commercially successful fabric. The earliest imitation was spun glass, which in it's hexibtlity and brillianey is excellent for millinery or dress ties, but its limitations are soon reached, for it can only be spun cer- tain lengths, and it possesses little or ao warmth. Polished" cotton, "mer. cerized" cotton and Pandura "silk, :, made of gelatin thread, have struggled for recognition in the market, but com plete victory seems to be reserved to what is known as collodion silk" pro- duced by the Chardonne method which is elaborate. Enormous sums of money It appears had been lost ere the pres- ent success was attained two years ago. But now the development of the il- duStry is going on by leaps and bounds ir Besancon, in France and in Switzer land. The material has an even great CT bri1iianey than silk, but the warmth is not so great, It is more durable. however, than the natural silk as known to the ordinary customer.
