The Montezuma Hot Springs track went
out in many places. Half a dozen bridges
were destroyed, and the Montezuma
bathhouses were partly carried away.
For two blocks ON Bridge street every
business house was flooded. The big
Ilfeld brick store was ruined and the bic

under water and the trolley line cannot
be repaired for two weeks. The race

l.. Foley, professor of physics in Indi-

of radium special study. and several
advanced students have enrolled for the
work. Professor Foley was one of the
first physicists i'm the United States
TO demonstrate the X-ray before a

practical demonstration of the power
of radium, subject that Is interest
ing the entire scientific world.
Erect of Radium on the Screen.
The instrument consists of zinc
sulphide screen, watch (Which has
been dipped in a solution of radium)
and lens TO concentrate the light.
Ordinarily the screen is not luminous,
but when the trace of radiumis brought
near it becomes luminous As each
electron of radirm strikes the screen
it causes a fash of light. as fire files

In company few evenings ago one
of Professor Foleys friends put a ring
near a piece of radium. and one of
the jewels shone with renewed bright
ness. showing that it was a diamond.
but the other jewel. which the friend
had purchased for diamond, failed
to take on additional splendor, thus
showing that the owner had been de-
ceived. Heretofore the atom had been
thought to be the smallest division of
matter, but the .radium shows the ex-
istence of the electron which is less
than the thousandth part of an atom.
Wouldn't Be Safe to Have Around.
Professor Foley figures that pound
of radium emanation would give off
energy at the rate of 100000 horse
power Its rays will penetrate iron
several inches thick and will affect
the eyes when closed and biindfolded
with sheet lead an inch thick. Profess
sor Foley believes that radium will

CAUSES OF COLDS.
One of the Most Common of Them II
Eating Too Much.

One of the Most Common of Them II
Eating Too Much.
The invariable cause of colds comes
from within. not without. No one takes
cold when in vigorous state of health,
with pure blood coursing through the
body, and there is no good reason why
any one in ordinary health should have
a 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 than highly seasoned foods as
well as frequent eating. These give no
time for the digestive organs to rest
and incite an increased flow Of the di-
gestive secretions. Thus larger quaint
ties of nourishment are absorbed than
can be properly utilized. and the result
Is an obstruction. commonly called q
'-cold.' which is simply an effort of the
system to expel the useless material.
Properly speaking. it is self poisoning.
due to an incapability of the organism
| to regulate and compensate for the dis
| turbance.
A deficient supply of pure air to the
| lungs is not only Il strong predisposing
cause of colds. but a prolific source of
much graver conditions Pure air aud
exercise are necessary to prepare the
system for tie assimilation of nutri.
ment. for without them there can be no
| vigorous health. The oxygen Of the
| air we breathe regulates the appetite
| as we1l as the nutri,nent that is built
| mp in the system.
/ The safest and best way to avoid
| colds is to Sleep in room with the
| windows vide open and TO remain out
| Of doors every day. no matter what
may be tls. weather. for ut least two
| hours PR fsrably with some kind OF
| exercise. II lao more than walking. One
should moi ST down 10 rest while the
| feet arr. W.; or the clothing damp. A
| person NAY "a with the clothing wet
through to he skin all day If he bui
keeps moving Exercise keeps up the
circulation aid prevents taking cold
| The pi'ySso.o;-is- care OF colds Is the
