ABOUT CATCHING COLDS.


Why Healthy People Are orr.
Troubled with Them.
In treating the subject Of colds the
really important question ID. "In what
does predisposition consistY" We talk
OF man catching a cold" But II
would be more correct and equally
graphic to say that the cold has
caught" the man. For It does catch
MIN unawares and often when he least
anticipates it. But no cold ever caught
any man unless he had first prepared
the ground for it by a careful process
Of fertilization.
No amount Of mere exposure to 4
low temperature alone will cause a
cold" In 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-
posure then operates as a Chill"
Now, who are the people who are IL
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, If
appropriately used, would form valu-
able ammunition for the development
Of energy either of body Or mind, but
which, when stored beyond certain
point, has to be blown of in a "cold''
or "bilious attack" or in q pro

The Cannon Ball Tree.

This is a native Of New Guinea. 1t
grows to the height of sixty feet, and
it's flowers are remarkable for their
beauty and fragrance. The blossoms
are Of the richest crimson, appearing
in large punches. The fruit resembles
enormous cannon balls; hence the
name. Some say the name comes from
the noise the fruit makes In descend

the shell, and the contents contain sew

gum and furnish an excellent drink

increase TO the state of 430 square
miles Of territory over that shown

state to bring the total increase up

enough to make a good sized county.
