ABOUT CATCHING COLDS.
Why Healthy People Are Offer
Troubled with Them.


Troubled with Them.
In treating the subject Of colds the
really important question is. I'm what
does predlsposition consistT We talk
OF a man catching IA cold" But 1t
would be more correct and equally
graphic to say that the cold has
caught" the man. For 1t does catch
him unawares and often when he least
anticipates IT, But no cold ever caught
any man unless he had first prepared
the ground for 1t by a careful process
OF fertilization.
No amount OF mere exposure to a
low temperature alone will cause a
cold" In a perfectly healthy man, In
whom the product OF wear and tear of
nerve and muscle, with adequate ex-
erection OF waste products on the one
side is evenly balanced by food supply
and exercise on the other. Where the
equilibrium does not exist such ex-
posture then operates as chill"
Now, who are the people who are II
able TO catch cold? Not those whose
dietary is so carefully adjusted to the
work they have to do that there is no
opportunity for the accumulation of
unused foodstuffs In their tissues, but
those who, in the better-fed ranks of
society. eat and drink more than they
need TO meet the daily requirements OF
their bodily activity and are thus con-
tinually storing up in their tissues and
excreting organs material which, II
appropriately used, would form valu-
able ammunition for the development
Of energy either OF body or mind, but
which, when stored beyond a certain
point, has to be blown of in cold
or a bilious attack" or In pro

Cold Mine 1900 Feet Deem.

The deepest gold mine in the world
is said TO be at Bendigo Australia. It
is called the New Chum mine, and its
main shaft is sunk to a depth Of three
quarters Of mile. The most difficult
problem Of working a mine Of such
depth is how TO keep the tunnels and
general workings cool enough for the
miners to work. The temperature is
usually about 1Os degrees. and this is.
Of course, greatly enervating. To make

"A Lasting Effect,
This Evidence Should Prove Every
Claim Made for Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills in Honolulu.

Relief from the pains and aches Of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer; but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back is what's wanted.
Cure it SO it will stay cured. It can
be done. Here's the strongest evidence
to prove it:
James E. Howard, a resident of Ho-
nolulu, writes: 81 feel it incumbent
upon me to inform you Of the benefit
have derived from the use of Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills. I had been a
sufferer from backache and kidney
trouble for years, but after using a
few boxes of Doan's Pills, have found
great relief and have had no recur-
renee for at least six months. I am
seventy-two years old, having served
three years during the late Civil War
in the United States where I undoubt-

exposure and hardships I feel very

COLORADO LOSES A MAN.

"a tragedy occurred this morning. A
man lost from the Colorado. Such
cases are from time TO time inevitable
in a service like ours. Under such cir
cumstances everything must always be
done, as in this instance everything
was done, for the rescue of the man.
But you men are fitted for fighting be-
cause you have the fighting edge. This
means that you are willing at all times
to face death in the performance of
your duty. The man who died this
morning was an excellent seaman, who
had done his duty faithfully and who
died in the performance of that duty.
Therefore he died in the service of his
country, exactly as much as if he had
died in battle, and deserves as much
honor.
What I have said so far applies to
the whole navy. Now a word especial
~ to this squadron and to this ship.
No other nation can boast of a better
squadron, q squadron composed of
more formidable vessels, In the matter
of the officers and men, we have no cause
to shrink from comparison with any
other nation. SO far, the Colorado has
been the one ship that has had the
chance to show what she could do in
gunnery practice, and her record has
been so astonishingly good that the
other ships of the squadron will have
to do their level best If they expect
even to equal it. I need not tell you TO
remember that battles are decided by
guntire, and that the only shots that
count are the shots that hit.
Men, I am glad to have seen you,
and 1 don't think that anywhere under
our flag there could be found a better
set of cleancut, vigorous. self-respect-
ing American citizens of the very type
that makes one proudest to be an
American"

PRESIDENT
AND NAVY
A Strong speech on
Board a New
Cruiser.

Washington Star: President Roose-
welt regards his southern trip just end
ed as a most enjoyable and profitable
experience Particularly did he enjoy
the sea voyage and the President ex-
pressed himself in the most enthusi-
astic terms regarding the ships, officers
and men of the squadron.
While at sea Oh Sunday. the Presi-
dent made a, speech to the officers and
men of the West Virginia. He had
just completed an inspection of the
entire ship. In the boiler room, a pro-
fusely decorated shovel was put into
his hand and he was asked to throw
a shovel of coal into a particular boiler.
He threw in two, and the boiler was
boiler" The shovel was passed
around that every stoker might shovel
with it. 1t was then speedily demolish-
ed into bits, each bit being retained as
a souvenir
At the close of the speech the Presi-
dent was given three rousing cheers
by the officers and men.
His speech follows:
PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
TT is a privilege for any President
to come on board a squadron Of Amer
lean warships such as these, not alone
to see the ships, but to see the men
who handle them. From the admiral
down through the entire ships COM
pany, every American should be proud
of what | have seen aboard this ship;
the discipline, the ready subofdination
of each man, whether officers or en-
listed men, to duty, the care taken of
the men and in return the eager, in
telligent, self-respecting zeal of each
man in doing his work. What must
impress especially any observer is how
essential it is that every individual on
a ship like these should do his whole
duty and in any crisis more than his
duty. The results as I see it in this
ship is triumph not only of organiza-
ton and discipline but of the ready
zeal with which each individual per-
forms his allotted task. At any time
some emergency may arise in which
the SdIety Oh the SI1tlIe snip Will uo-
pend upon the vigilance, intelligence
and cool courage of some one man
among you, perhaps an officer, perhaps
an enlisted man. Any man in the
whole ships company who does his
full duty can claim as his own the
honor and repute of the ship and has
a right to feel personal pride in all
she does. You and your fellows in the
navy and in its sister service, the
army, occupy a position different from
that of any other set of men in our
country. Going through the ship yes
terday, in the engine room, store rooms,
turrets, everywhere, the thing that i'm
pressed me most was the all-import--
ance of each man in his place; the all
Importance of that man both knowing
his work and feeling it a matter of
keen personal pride to do it as we'll as
it could possibly be done. All through
the ship l have seen the same purpose,
the purpose to learn exactly what the
duty to be done was and then to do it;
and the power to do presupposes the
possession of each of you of intelli-
gence courage and physical address
believe that this attitude of yours is
typical of the attitude of the men of
our navy generally and of the army
