ABOUT COLDS.

A physician sends an interesting con-
trbution 10 the Saturday Evening Post
on Colds and How to Catch Them"
The burden OF the article is that colds
are not caught from exposure IN the
open air, nor from drafts" IN the
house, The doctor contends that colds
are infectious and are not Caught"
when infectious materials are absent.
He SAYS that influenza or tho grip is
known TO bo pure infection and one
OF the most contagious diseases. Each

ady can be traced IN It's march across

Speaking OF the colds" that run
through families, schools. and neigh
borhoods, the doctor says that when

toms OF cold, st should be sent home.
Attempting TO study when sick is but
n waste OF time. The following advice
is given:

A GREAT PROBLEM.

The problem Of the unemployed Is now
attracting attention everywhere. 1t lie
10 be hoped that it viii not remain I'M
solved very long The spring Is coming
and there VIII be work on the farms, on
railroads. on buildings and other
branches of Industry, but just at pres
emf II is quite problem as evidenced
by parades in many cities. petitions TO
state and city governments for work,
ana the reports of charity organiza-
lions.
According to Charities and the Com
mons. Chicago has suffered great deal
1t is a natural center to which drifters
from all parts of the country are at
tracted.
Up to this date. the paper mentioned
claims, there has not been sharp suffer-
Ing anywhere because of the efforts
made to take care of the unemployed,
but as the savings Of the laborers are
being rapidly exhausted. the number
that really needs assistance viii in
crease.
one feature Of the situation is the in
crease in army enlistments. The New
York Tribune reports that army enlist
ment in that city Increased 300 per cent
IN the past two months, and that the
majority of the men who are enlistine
after weeks Of unemployment are form
er cashiers, clerks. and mechanics, and
are wen educated" Every one Of the
nine recruiting stations In New York
City. II Is said. has turned away from
500 to 500 applicants since December ].
AT the same time the number of pro-
fessional tramps In New York is so
great that less than per cent of those
applying for the citys charity at the
Municipal Lodging House were found
to be bona-fde workers out OF work.
The suggestion has been made that
the National and state governments
furnish work and eliminate the problem
OF the unemployed. This could prob
ably be done If the majority of the peo-
pie were not already taxed to the very
limit of endurance When the time
comes that the nations no longer have
to spend billions of dollars annually for
the maintenance OF military forces, they
can engage in road building. construc-
ton of canals and tho reclamation of
land, and thus prevent the periodically
recurring crises of which the wage
earners always are the chief victims
But that time seems far Off yet stili'

civilization far enough to see that their
interests demand some arrangement
whereby the few shall forever be de-
prlved OF the power OF stopping the
wheels of industry to the injury and

The new suits are against the Vul-

PAPPAS SENTENCED.
Greek Murderer Gets Fifteen Years
in Penitentiary for Killing a
Fellow Countryman.

Clarence Pappas, convicted Of the
murder of Theodore Karonis in Aber-
deem last April, was sentenced in the
superior court Monday to fifteen
years in the penitentiary. His at
torney, E. H. Fox, gave notice of ap-
peal to the supreme court.
The crime for which Pappas was
sentenced was committed in East Abb
erdeen, on the night of April "a,
when he shot Karonis to death, al
leging at the time that Karonis was
attacking him with a razor, and that
the fatal shot was in self defense.
The state proved that Karonis had
never owned a razor, and that a dill
gent search near the ground where
the murder was committed failed to
discover razor or any other weapon.
Pappas is % years of age, and will
be about 35 when his sentence ex-
pires, II he does nothing to forfeit
the deduction for good behavior.

BRYAN RECEIVES OVATION
Thousands Greet Nebraskan in Chi
cago After His Warm Cam
paign in Native State.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-W. J. Bryan
arrived in this city last night at s
o'clock in blaze of glory after an
all-day trip thruogh the state. A
dense throng assembled at the union
station to greet him as his special
pulled in, an hour and fifteen min
utes late, and a procession of fifty
automobiles escorted him to Pilsen
Park, where he addressed great
throng.
AS he emerged from the station a
great quantity of red fire and Roman
candles were set off, the crowd all
the while wildly cheering. AS the
long procession Of motor cars passed
down the streets their occupants
continued the pyrotechnic display.
From Pilsen Park the Democratic
candidate was escorted to Arcade
Hall, where another big crowd was
on hand and accorded him an ovation
Many in the Pilsen Park audience
were laboring people.
'If l am elected President" said
Bryan, "and the more l travel and
mingle with the people the more con-
vinced am that I will be elected
If I am elected, I intend to have a
secretary of labor as a member of
the cabinet. The affairs of the work
ingman of this country are too great
not to have representative on the
Presidents advisory board. From
this secretary I should seek advice on
legislation of interest to the work.
ingman."
The feature of William J. Bryan s
journey through his native state of
Illinois today was the assertion, re-
peatedly made, that the Republican
party was now preparing to pur-
chase the election. The statement,
first made at Alton, caused a distinct
sensation. The Democrats, he said,
were asking only for 100000 with
which to finish the work of the cam
paign, while the Republicans were
asking for $1,000,000.
what do they need the money
for?" he inquired, and, answering
his own question, he declared that it
was for use on election day, as they
have used it year after year.
