1t to be given up.
Another amendment asks the return of
the Continental Congress TO the week OF
the 22d of February instead of April and
the week which the anniversary of the bat
tie of Lexington occurs This amendment
has page and a half of signatures, but 1t
IS not thought that it VIII obtain sufficient
recognition to secure the change. February
is a stormy month along about the I'D. and
for each of thirteen years thousands OF dol
lars worth of fnery was destroyed each
year by the elements while the Congress
was In session there being almost without
exception, bad weather during those thir-
teen years While there is good deal of
sentiment for the return TO February % IL
is not thought to be strong enough to carry
The day.
Hinge on Montana Case.
Two of the most important amendments,
and the only ones which 1t is thought will
be adopted. hinge on the Montana" case,
and the troubles in the Congress last year.
The first amendment is as follows
No state regent. state vice regent nor
honorary state regent shall be appointed
or elected who is not a resident of the state
she represents. etc.

A New Departure.
A new departure has recently been taken
by the Daughters in the way OF explicit
education along patriotic lines. This COM
mittee, which Is a large one, has for its
chairman Miss Ellen Mecum of New Jer-
sey. and it is expected that the report of
that committee will be OF paramount inter-
est to the society.
In this connection Miss Mecum says:
Patriotic education is to be the great
work of the future for the Daughters of
the American Revolution. Many and varf-
ed opportunities are now placed before
you, and with this splendidIy organized
body OF women commanding so much intel
Hgence, and power and wealth, 1t is but
right TO expect them TO exert lasting in
huence for good upon their own genera
ton In addition to commemorative the ma
triotism of the past.
1t is earnestly desired that every state
regent shall appoint a COMMITTEES on pa
trfotic education, and where there Is q
member of the national committee In the
state she shall be made a member OF the
said committee. =
1t Is thought by many of the daughters
that next to the marking of historic spots
and the completion and dedication of Com
tinental Memorial Hall this patriotic work
will occupy the attention OF the D. A. r.

Healthfulness of a sneeze.

From the Boston Herald.
According TO the eminent physician and
surgeon, Sir Frederick Treves, we ought
not to complain of sneezing catarrh. cough
ing and general discomforts that ordi-
narily accompany a common cold. They
are not symptoms of disease, but proofs
that the system is defending ITSELF The
efforts of the sufferer says the distinguish
ed authority, should not be directed TO
stopping them directly. but TO aiding ma
ture, which is putting up a brave light
against dangerous bacteria. Indeed, cold
would in the majority of cases prove fatal
IL these symptoms of resistance were hot
present The presence of Infection would
not be discovered until the bacteria were
so numerous that hight would be hopeless

1t is believed that fire was Of incen-

A fire was discovered in a building
near the Barnett & Anderson lumber
yards which was soon eXtinguished. 1t
