FACTS ABOUT COLDS.
Places in the World Where Such
a Malady Is Unknown.

wfsseu Fuer ALE. moved by the sud
den drop in temperature which has
made the whole of Germany uncouu-
forrabEs, discusses the why and where
fore Of colds in a lengthy article of
which the following will give some
idea.
Many people may be surprised to
hear that even in this world there are
places where it is impossible to catch
cold There are facts. however, which
bear this out. Explorers in the Arctic
regions never catch cold Their Clothes
are often saturated with perspiratton
through their struggle over the ice, and
are a mass OF ice when they retire for
the night; ard yet. despite the fact
they often have to sleep out in che
open in their sleeping bag. and that
this Is their only means Of t1awing
themselves out their health does not
suffer,in the least Indeed, it has been
declared that most explorers are ply
sicaIly the better of for their sojOurn
in the Northern regions.
Then there is the classical instance
of the St Kilds cold. On the rocky.
lonely island lying some forty miles be-
yond the Western HebTides. there are
about a hundred inhabitants who man
age by cultivating a little of the ground
and by catching sea fowl to keep them
selves alive. The coast IS so pre-
cipitous and the seas so stormy that
for eight months out Of the twelve they
are practically inaccessible. Oddly,
whenever steamer touches at this
island, all the inhabitants. incIuding
the very infants, are seized with a
cold.
The German periodical puts down
the readiness Of the man in the tenn
perate zone to take cold 10 the cod
ding habit, which fears exposure. re-
sulting in a delicate constitution more
ready TO suffer at the slightest change
of temperature. It sums up by saying,
Exposure is not the direct cause of
colds. 1t only acts on lowered vi
tality The only safeguard is con-
tinued exposure

sold off to n net decline of 16@19 points

tho middle of the morning.
The market was 8 or points up

ARRANGEMENTS TO
OFFSET DEPOSITS
AGAINST NOTES
N. Y. Clearing House Grants
Modification of Position
TO Dep0sitOrs.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE. differ
ence of opinion between the loan COM
mittee of the Clearing House and the
depositors of the Mechanics and Trad

lating to the liquidation of the colids-

posits standing to their credit at the
time the banks closed their doors
should be offset against their notes
the total amount being approximately
81, ,0oe 0oe.
Strauss & Anderson, with Grout q
Grout. acting as counsel for the de-
positors of the Mechanics and Trad
ers' Bank. had numerous meetings with
the representatives of the Clearing
House and their counsel, opdyke. La'ld
& Bristow, and claimed the right on
deposits against the amount of the
notes when payment was demanded.
In round figures the Clearing House
holds some s6.000.000 OF notes of this
kind 10 secure about $1,500,000 of loan
certificates issued, but among these
notemakers while there are many who
had deposits in the bank at the time IL
closed its doors. there are great many
whose deposits were small and who as
sert no such right.
The resolution adopted provides that
the Clearing House will accept pay
ment of maturing notes. while grant
ing to the depositor the right to reserve
the amount of the balance standing TO
his credit in the bank at the time it
suspended business. without prejudice
10 the depositor's right to insist on off
setting his deposit, the Clearing House
Association also agreeing to take no
further action TO enforce collection
of any balance which may be due until
all other available free collateral has
been exhausted.

Editor Advertiser: Since the Land
Department of the Territory Of Hawaii
is so very solicitous Of the welfare of
the islands ~, lest some of the few
settlers who are able to get land should
sell their holdings to corporations,
would it not be well to compare figures
and see If this sentiment is sincere?
I see by the Advertiser that before
the Lanai dear is settled by the
courts, another scheme of the family
compact to acquire 1000 acres of gov
eminent holdings on Kauai is sprung.
Application Is made by the Knudsens
TO have~this tract put up for starting
a "sisal plantation and the bold
statement is made that 1t is expected
that the Knudsens, who already own
thousands of acres, viii be the par-
chasers-that as q show of good
faith, conditions are to be placed in
the sale that a certain percentage. shall
be planted to sisaI in five years. when
title will be given.
Now, Mr.. Editor. wherein is the sale
OF these large tracts going TO help
Americanize these islands-tracts to be
planted to such crops as sisal, by in
dfviduaIs who now own principali-
ties? Is il not a fact beyond dispute
that these conditions applied to
these lands, are merely a mask used
simply because they fear they can not
get possession of the land in any other
way? A man who owns 100 acres
