CAUSES OF COLDS,


Ihe invariable cause of colds comes
FROM within. not without. No one takes
cold when In vigorous state of health
with pure blood coursng through the
body, and there is no good reason why
any one in ordinary health should have
cold. 1t may come from insufficient
exercise, breathing of foul air, want Of
wholesome food. excess OF food. lack of
bathing. etc, but always from some
violation Of the plain laws of health.
There can be no more prolific cause
of colds tLan highly seasoned foods as
well as frequent eating. These give no
time for the digestive organs 10 rcst
and incite an increased flow Of the di-
gcStivc sccrctiOns. Thus larger unanti-
ties OF nourishmcnt are absorbed than
can be properly utilized. and the result
is an obstruction. commonly called 4
"cold.' which is simply an effort of the
system to cxpcl the useless material.
Properly speaking, it is self poisoning.
due TO an incapability of the organism
to regulate and compensate for the dis.
turbancc.
deficient supply of pure air to the
lungs is not only strong prcdsposing
cause of colds. but n prolific source of
much gravcr conditions. Pure air and
exercise are necessary to prepare the
system for the assimilation OF nutri-
mcnt. for without them there can be no
vigorous health. The oxygen of the
air we breathe regulates the appetite
as we'll as the nutrimpnt that is built
MP in the system.
The safest and best way to avoid
colds Is to sleep in room with the
windows wide open and to remain out
Of doors every day. no matter what
may be the weather. for Mt least two
hours, preferably with som" kind of
exercise, if no more than walking. one

Poisonous and Harmless SuoLe.

lh"re is certain physiological diff
terence between the poisonous and
harmless snakes which exists very
plainly in their manner of dentition.
All snakes are objects of aversion and
dread TO mankind so much so that to
be bitten by II snake has Mt times been
so fearful to the victim as to have pro
duccd death although the snake was
harmless Such is the instructive dread
with which these reptiles are Thought
of that IT may be desirable to have
some easy mode of distinguishing the
one Kind from the other. This distn-
gushing Characteristic is afforded by
the teeth. In all poisonous snakes
there are only two rows of teeth. the
fang or fangS being arranged either
within the two rows or outside of them.
The harmless snakes have four distinct
rows of teeth. and when the bite shows
this kind OF wound and not any single
deeper or larger puncture there need
be no apprehension.

is causing trouble at the Spanish

had two sons by the famous singer

After his death Queen Christiana

annuity to the boys. They are now

have made a demand on King Alfonso
for an increase in their allowance, as

courts. He, however, has o with

Under these two headlines we wish to call
attention to two facts that have been founda-
ton stones for the upbuiding of great Dick
nson County retail business. This house be-
lieves that the interests OF its customers do
mand that prices shall be as low as possible
but it also believes just as firmly that its duty
toward customers requires the most rigid ex-
clusion from its stock Of all goods that cannot
be honestly offered 9s reliable. judicious
combination Of sterling values at the lowest
prices consistent with reliability of goods is
our constant aim. Together with the careful
selection of our wares do we insist upon there
being no misrepresentation in the selling,
neither by the salespeople nor through printed
matter issued from the advertising bureau.
We see many ways in which the house may
be improved brick and mortar improve
ment, but in broadened store life where
honesty is pursued not only because it sis the
best policy" but also because of that large
reason--that honesty makes better men and
women, makes the whole world bigger, better,
happier. We invite criticism, open, direct
criticism. 1t helps us to cure blunders.
