Curing a Gold.

A cold is different from q ham fou
cure a ham to save it. and you cure a
cold to lose it, If it is a ham actor
who is afflicted. you cure the cold to
save the ham. although the audience
may not thank you for doing it.
There are as many remedies for cur
ing cold as there are people. That
would mean. roughly speaking. about
100000 remedies. 1t will be seen
that man cannot try all of them if
he wants to keep up his music and art
and the side issue by which he earns
his living.
Probably the best way to cure a cold
Is by the old woman remedies applied
by young woman IL possible. Soak
the feet for an hour in boiling water
drink a gallon Of herb tea and go to
bed with a hot brick wrapped up in
all of the blankets around the place.
If the cold is not gone by morning,
look at it reproachfulIy a few times
and consult q DOCTOR
Might Not Suit.
1t does not occur to the doctors who
are settling the marriage and divorce
question by the simple plan Of state
regulation of marriage that young peo-
pie marry for love and not to demon
strate some theory.
The plan may look good on paper.
but if the doctor picked out swell
brunette for the young man who want
ed red headed one there would be
trouble. and plenty of it, in getting
them to Start the experiment. 1t
would be the same kind of complica-
ton if they picked out the wrong one
for the girl.
One thing that helps make marriage
n success is the freedom of choice.
Young people marry now against the
advice and judgment of their elders
and then spend the rest of their lives
in trying to prove that they were right
and that therefore the old folks were
mistaken.
