Disease Germs.

A physician of this city remarks
that their is great dealof what he
calls rot" on the question OF dis
ease germ. He says that the smat-
tering of knowledge some people
have about bacteria and germs make
them ridiculous when they talk of
these things. He claims that there
isn't half the danger in disease
germs that people imagine. If their
systems are in condition to be af.
fected by disease they are likely to
get 1t, but maybe they won't. A
we'll man, he says, is just as likely
to get a contagious disease as
sickly one. 1t all depends upon the
person and filth hasn't anything to
do with it. "Iknow l havet taken
germs into my iron system, and yet
they haven't affected me simply be-
cause l wasn't physically su tied
for them to take hold" This is
curious sort of doctrine for a physi-
clan to prea ch.

COLD WEATHER HAS

of yesterday was at 6 o'clock in the
morning when the mercury regis

registered 49 degrees, and at 7 a. m.
this morning was at tho ~ mark.
Although this was considerably
higher than the temperature Satur.
day, the weather man has predict
ed that the next two days will be
clear, but with a marked fall in
the thermometer. Cold wetaher is
expected for the first part of the
week, and then it is predicted shat
there will be slight rise of several
points in mercury.
One thing that the weather guess
er confidently predicts is that the
warm weather which has character
lze'l Il greater part of the fall is now
a thing of the past, and that no
more very warm days will again be
