Don't Be Afraid of Cold.

From the Independent ... 4
Just inasmuch people can be tempted
to live more in the open will the average of
health improve. Cold does not cause
colds" Nansen and his men at the North
pole did not suffer from respiratory affec-
lions, but several of them were down with
grippy colds within short time after
their return. Dampness is not an active
factor in the production of disease when
there is adequate protection of the body by
clothes. and when the food is abundant and
nutritious, and there is abuse of stimu-
lants Old traditions should not be allowed
to have weight in the face of modern care
fully collated observations. Windows should
always be open In sleeping rooms, no mat
ter how cold or damp the weat her. and IL
care be taken to have dry. abundant bed
clothing and warm room to dress in, there
not only need be no fear of evil conse-
quences. but the health will always be bet
ter. and any tendency. particularly to re-
spiratory diseases. the most frequently fatal
affections of this stage of civilization. Will
surely be obviated.

The Life of q Bride.

From the Minneapolis Tribune
A woman may know that she has ceased
to be bride only
When she finds herself saying uncompIi-
mentary things to her husband
The first time her husband criticises her
frocks.
When she discovers she is Jealous
When he grows economical with his
kisses.
When she begins to nag
When he becomes sarcastic about the
food.
When she does not mind coming to break
fast in curl papers.
When he tells her how pretty some other
woman looks r,.
When he begins to eulogize his mother
When a meal becomes so quiet that she
can plan whole frock between the courses.
When he begins to go to his club.
When she begins to hunt up her old
friends and enjoys calling on them.
When he comes in late for dinner.
When she forgets to come home from the
matinee in time to greet him before dinner.

has never been able to figure 1t out why
the kid didn't kill him and the other fell
low where they sat, right then. He had the
bulge on them. for they sat with their rifles
across their knees, right in the blaze OF
the southern moon, silhouetted against the
sand. If they had made the slightest move,
Poe thinks they would undoubtedly both
have been killed where they sat. But they
kept still. and probably the kid might have
feared that they really were friends.
In the meantime. Garrett had entered
the 'dobe. and had found old Pete Maxwell
In his bunk in the front room. Garrett
reused the ofd- man. and they were having
coffab when the kid entered the room
from the door.
Garrett Almost Cornered.
Garrett, with his customary caution. In
entering the bed room. had moved around
to the side of the bed nearest the wall. AS
he sat on the edge of old man Maxwells
bed he was in a heavy shadow. while the
rest of the room was brilliantly illuminated
by the moon rays that streamed through
the open windows
The Kid. still a-tiptoe, entered the
room HE was probably more or less blind
ed by the strong light of the moan and
he didn't see Sheriff Garrett sitting in the
oeep shadow on the far side of the old
mans bed
Pete. asked the Kid. in a sort of hoarse
haif- whisper. who are these men outsider
Garrett had silently got his gun out as he
saw the Kid enter the door He wanted
to take Billy alive If he could, but when
he saw the gun in the Kids right hand he
knew that he couldn't take any chances.
odd man Maxwell was just about to
make some sort of a reply to the Kids
question. when the desperate, his eyes hav-
ing become somewhat used to the dark
ness, suddenly caught sight of the dim
inquire OF the sheriff on the other side of the
bed

Then Garrett went to the rear of the 'dobe

Pat Garrett himself never claimed that he
had got on the Kids trail at the beginning
of his ride out of Lincoln and tracked him
down to the end like a bloodhound but
that's the way the story got into type at
the time. The point isn't particularly mo-

In the opinion Of Frank p. Sargent,

the thing most needed to cure evils OF
