H. G.. Thomas, state fish and game
commissioner, and G. II. Preble OF
Foxcroft, Me-, differ as to the cause OF
the scarcity of ruffed grouse. The
Honorable Henry believes man to be
responsible for the unusual decrease IN
the number Of these game birds, while
the Foxcroft man thinks owls, skunks,
hawks, foxes, cats, and particularly
sleet storms following snow, are the
causes of the depletion Of the covers.
Neither of these explanations accounts
for the unusual scarcity of grouse last
season. The partridge's natural enc
mics have been on the job as long as
the partridge, and the number OF hunt
ers has not increased SO enormously in
the past few years as to be RESPONSE
BILE. Sleet storms may bury many
birds under the snow, but even these
are not of recent origin. The cause of
the unusual scarcity of grouse last sea-
son is probably due to some unusual
condition which existed last spring and
summer. Sportsmen who keep in touch
with the grouse through the spring
and summer months report that here
abouts many young and old birds were
found SO afflicted with wood ticks that
they could not fly. This is probably
one reason why the number of grouse
last, fall was so much smaller than us

What Taft Should Have Done.
(Randolph Herald,

1t strikes us that it would have been
better if, year or more ago, as soon as
he had determined to be candidate, Taft
had withdrawn from the cabinet and had
run his canvass from some other point
than the shadow of the white house; if
Roosevelt had said, well, boys, I've had
my turn; I'm out Of it; choose whom you
please to follow" and if the republican
party had proceeded along sane and un-
preiudiced lines to make that choice.
As it is. the real merits of the men are
befogged in this cloud of pro and anti
Rooseveltism that really hasn't an iota to
do with it. The portion of the Roosevelt
policies that merits life and continuance,
like truth eternal, will go marching on,
and Roosevelt needn't worry that it
won't if Taft fails or the opposition that
it will if Hughes or anybody else wins

VENTILATION AND COLDS.

"If you wish TO revel in colds
SAYS Dir. Moods Hutchinson IN the sat
urday Evening Post, "observe the foi'
lowing simple rules:
Keep your windows shut.
Avoid drafts rs IL they were pes
thence.
Take no exercise between meals.
Battle seldom. and in warm water.
Wear heavy hannels, chest protect
ors, abdominal bandages and electric
insoles.
Have no heat in your bedroom.
Never let anything keep you away
from church, the theatre or parties, IN
winter.
Never go outdoors when 1t s windy
or rainy, or wet underfoot, or cold or
hot, or looks as if it was going to be
any Of these.
BE inst as intimate and afectlonate
as possible with everyone you Know
who has cold. Don't neglect them
on any account. ~
DIR. Hutchinson proves conclusiveiy
that colds are scarcely ever caught
where infectious materials are absent;
in fact, be says the word "cold' is
a misnomer for the diseases to which
il is commonly applied, since science
has demonstrated that these are not
due, except in few instances, to expos
ure to lowered temperature. DR..
Hutchinson thinks they ought to be
called "fouls'' instead of colds, be-
cause two thirds of them are due to in
lection spreading from one victim TO
another. "The best place to catch
them is not 0ut-of doors, nor even IN
drafty Railways, but in close, stuffy,
infected hotel bedrooms, sleeping ears,
churches and theatres. The draft,
according to this eminent authority, Is
a fetch and the sneeze not sign you
are catching cold but proof that you
have contracted the disease some time
previous and that it is just beginning
to break out.
The best preventative for colds IS
the fresh air habit which fortunately
is growing every year. LEARN to SIT
in gentle draft says the doctor,
sand you'll avoid two-thirds Of your
colds and three-fourths of your head
aches. 1t may be necessary in winter
to warm the draft but don't let any
patent method of ventilation delude
you into keeping your windows shut
any hour of the day or night. The
"no heat in bedroom" dogma is
dangerous for the simple reason that
the room without any heat is generally
the one whose windows are never
opened in winter, the widespread de-
fusion being that because air is cold
it is necessarily pure.
Especially applicable to local condl'
tions are DR.. Hutchinson s theories re-
garding ventilation of public gather
ing places. He calls the "odor of sane
tity' in churches the residue of the
breaths and perspirations Of successive
generations, and says that while
cleanliness may be next to goodness
there is sometimes an astonishingly
long step between. He also points
out the need Of adequate ventilation in
halls and theatres, and here is where
his remarks are particularly timely in
connection with the local question OF
better ventilation for the town build
ing. This is a matter which ought to
receive serious consideration from the
voters at the coming town meeting.
As long as people won't stay away
from public gatherings when they are
snufling and coughing it is. of vital
necessity that the gathering-places be
equipped with the most approved sys
TENS of ventilation.

WEEK IN THE WORLD.
Great Events and Movements Which
Are Making History.

The net result Of the republican pr.
maries held throughout Ohio Tuesday
was, for William H. Taft, four delegates
at-large and % district delegates to the
national convention in Chicago, and a
list of delegates to the state convention
to be held March 3, which will be unani-
mously in his favor. Hardin county held
no primaries. No opposition worth men
tioning developed during the day. The
supreme court destroyed all chances of
success by the Foraker element in Cuya-
hoga county by declaring that the Taft
county committee was the only valid or
ganization of its kind in that county and
the selection of delegates there went by
default, no ticket being placed in the field
against the Taft candidates.
