CURES FOR A COLD.


3 Just about every person one meets now
is carrying about a preventive or a cure,
so-called, for some phase of a cold. - For
it is the time Of year when that affiic-
ton seems to be prevalent and it seems
this year to be more prevalent than for
several seasons. 1t is more than sus-
peeted by good many that we have a
deal to learn yet about colds. In many in
stances they appear to be only inconyen-
lent, and not very harmful SO that little
time and attention are given to SUPPRESS
ing them altogether when we have so
many serious ills to contend with. Without
going into any description of the many
severe complaints which may and assur-
eddy do result from colds, it may be said
that the most innocuous cold is somewhat
contagious as witness the way In which
a case Of mild "snuff1es'' goes through
family. Each household ought, then, to
set itself to solving for its own use and
behoof the problem of keeping cold from
entering the house at all. No way, per
haps, is SO effective as to let in plenty of
cold air at all times Of the day and night.
Let it in judieiousiy, that$is, Aeat it to
a certain degrees, and then let 1t escape
while more comes in to take it's place.
We all need to take a leaf from the way
In which the successful sanatoria are con-
Quoted. There. where only the delicate
are ministered to, the basic remedy is
fresh air. and plenty of it--even to Sleep
ing out Of doors in order to secure sufi-
cheney of it. Just a little of this treat
ment used at home will do more than any
thing else to keep these institutions for the
consumptiyes from becoming over
crowded s-as ~ 5r-S--

viewed from northwestern markets was firm

Both names are Of the Morse origin and
signify Priest islands, from the fact that
they were colonized by the Irish Catho-

There was a solitary croft on this island
