g If / were asked which of my rene

q cold as the most dangerous of all ailments.
1t leads to grip, catarrh, neuralgia, sore

Colds attack the bowels and kidneys,
and set the rheumatic in agony; in fact,
colds may be termed the parent of nearly
all pains. l know that most people look
upon colds as a trifiing ailment. This is
mistake, for colds give more work to the

complaint Get rid OF the cold to-day, not
tomorrow. Don't let it get two or three

Instructions from his government. sent
Mr.. Mccoy, the English resident on Pit

an English man-Of-war. at Mr. Sifon's
request, went from Tahiti to the new
possessions and completed certain formal
tiles. When the action was reviewed by
the British foreign Office, the consul re-
ceived full appreciation for his fore
thought. Dueie island has a safe harbor,
while Elizabeth island has many attrac-
tive features. There are no inhabitants in
the group. Colonial troops are to b
