MANY SUFFERING
NOW FROM COLDS

Local druggists are enjoying big
sales OF cough medicine or putting mp
large numbers Of prescriptions daily
due 10 the prevalence OF colds. About
every third person one meets now has
a well developed cold. and q peculiar
thing about Il is that most Of them
seem TO have doveloped in the same
peculiar manner. They all start in
with a dry throat. and then the sneez-
ing and coughing commence in earn
est
While most Of those afflicted ~ this
peculiar sequence pf Sylip',ms gen-
orally cnd witA q m ora az lcss severe
cold in the throat or on the lungs, sew
eral have been compelled to go to bed
for a day or two, until the most dis
tresslng part of the malady IS past.
some seem inclined 70 couple this pre-
valence ~ dry or sore throat with the
diphtheria at present In this city, and
many have become alarmed who have
been subject to dry throat IL is the
belief Of the doctors, however, that The
latter Is distinct malady in itself and
has nothing 10 do with diphtherla. il
seems 80 have attacked The public in
about the same manner that influenza
did several wears ago.

PHYSICAL TRAINING.

THE Young Womens Christian Association
4 in its new building is to pay attention to
physical Developments There is to be swim
ming pool with other methods of agreeable exer-
else that will benefit the young women. In all
cities more and more attention is paid to the
physical training Of the young in the belief that
a sound body makes a sound mind, and young
people are better fitted for the duties OF life if
they are physically we'll developed.
Wilmington is making progress along these
lines. The Young Mems Christian Association
will have fine gymnasium that should prove an
attractive drawing card to the youth. The
Friends School is building and equippng fine
gymnasium that will be one Of the features of the
training Of youth at that excellent institution An
agitation has been under way for the equipment
of gymnasium at the Wilmington High School.
By all means there should be a department OF
physical culture at the High School. The train
ing and education Of youth does not consist in
merely book learning which, of itself, cannot
round out a complete young man or young
woman but is only one Of the means to an end
Physical training and department are essential
features. 1t was to emphasize the department
training that young man or woman is supposed
TO get in the school, that THE EVENING
JOURNAL offered prize for the best essay by
a High School pupil on Etiquette" in the hope
that interest in this branch OF training would be
stimulated among both teachers and pupils.
Wilmington should not lag behind in anything
for the betterment of the men and women of to-
morrow Our sister cities are keenly alive to the
advantages OF an all around training.
In Reading one Of the athletic societies has
asked for the use OF unoccupied school rooms for
a gymnasium, and the request, which seemed odd
at first will probably be granted In Reading
there is a gymnasium for the Boys High School,
and the Reading Herald urges that the Girls
High School shall have gymnasium and that
athletic training shall be extended to pupils of the
lower grades

YEs. THE PUBLIC IS 10 BLAME.

ID RESIDENT E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS,
\ Of the University Of Nebraska, declares
that the present high monopoly prices are due to
the consumer who has only himself to blame in
that he "acquiesces' and pays the price. This
view is undoubtedly correct The consumer pays
because he has to, and not because he wants 20
let his money go. 1t is true that people, for in
stance, could eat less meat and avoid somewhat
the exactions of the meat trust, but most persons
cannot change their habits in a twinkling.
There is no doubt that the high prices are MAIN
tanned largely by monopolistic method The trusts
dominate. Business, on the whole, is not on a
competitive basis. Materials that enter into the
manufacture OF commodities have been arthcially
enhanced in their prices A manufacturer must
either pay these advanced prices or quit. Hence
he must "acquiesce." housewife must pay the
increased prices or do without. When she does
without the volume of trade decreases and there
is a slackenng all along the line.
1t has been the custom in many cases to blame
the increased cost of production upon labor, but
statistics prove that increased cost of labor has
not kept pace with the advanced cost of living.
