The Cost of CareIeSSneSS

Neglect of a common" cold is so
often the direct cause OF dangerous
disease. that medical men cannot un-
derstand why 50 many people allow a
cold, with its attendant cough, TO run
its course unchecked. Aside from the
unpleasantness and annoyance. the re-
sulting irritation of the mucous mem
brane i'm the throat lungs and bron-
chial organs leaves them sore and very
susceptible to attack.
With the first indication of a cold,
take steps to check It at once. A
simple, inexpensive remedy can be pre-
pared at home by mixing two ounces
Of Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin Oil
Of Pine compound pure and eight
ounces Of pure Whisky You can buy
these in any good drug store and easily
mix them in a large bottle. 1t is claim
ed by the Leach Chemical Co. OF
Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine

EX-POSTMASTERS
WANT BACK MONEY

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22-Concerted ac-
tion by number OF Senators in introduce
ing resolutions calling for information
relative TO amounts derived from the
rental OF postofhce boxes and registra-
tion fees between the years 1864 and 1875
has aroused considerable interest
Inquiry developed the fact that during
those years postmasters I'm nearly every
State turned these fees into the Treasury
but that there had been a ruling since
that time that these fees should be kept
by the postmasters in lieu Of salaries.
A claim by one postmaster in the state
OF Washington for 5000 started the food
Of resolutions, and Il is the intention OF
the claimants to try TO have Congress en-
act an omnibus measure to refund TO all
postmasters the amounts paid TO the Gov

The county officers who were in
the courthouse have moved into
the new Office building. The clerk
of court and states attorney have
also moved into that building.
The judge and superintendent Of
schools will be found in the court
house. This puts an end to all
the Office rent that was being paid
out each month for the four
offices used outside of the court
house. The officers, and their
employees fortunate enough to
be in the new Building now, have
large, oommodious quarters. The
vaults are large and well fitted
with shelves and drawers, and the
oounty's business will now be
carried out as it should be.

The People and the Stage.

In q lecture upon his chosen art, re.
Gently delivered at Harvard, Mr.. Per
cy MacKaye, a successful. dramatist,
pleaded for popular encouragement to
the writer's of plays. He held that
the dramatist's true incentive is the
public gathered in front Of the foot
lights or at least the multitude who
may be reached through a play. He
would have the appreciat!ve theater
goers support the genius who enter
tains them by "a slap on the back"
MI. MacKaye seems to forget that the
manager always takes toll on public
appreciation at the box Office.
But a recent scathing editorial in
Golfers Weekly points out that the
people have no chance to approve Of
the playwright's work and that the
genius for whom Mr.. MacKaye pleads
must first suit the whim or the greed
Of the manager. There is no freedom
in the theater, says the editor, because
the head Of the booking trust" die
tates what the %playgoing public shall
see. A citizen cannot choose a play to
see as he chooses the magazine or
newspaper to read. The stage sprang
from the people to meet a human
want. It must get back to the old
plane before dramatist and public can
work out Its destiny face to face.

Canada's Old Age Annuity.

A recent act of the Dominion par.
lament indicates that our neighbor on
the north is looking ahead and prepar.
ing to meet the grave industrial prob.
lens Of the future. England has pen
stoned old age. but some Of the great
est economists of the nation hold that
this necessity could have been avoided
by following the plan Of other coun-
tries In establishing old age annuities
at the expense Of workingmen and
employers.
The system which the, new law will
inaugurate in Canada is calculated to
encourage thrift, the same as the post
al savings banks. Through a govern
ment bureau old age annuities will be
sold to %workingmen, and the annual
cost Of running the bureau will be the
extent Of the governments financial
risk. Workingmen may begin at any
age to pay into the bureau a small sum
weekly and provide for an annuity Of
from $50 to $235 out Of their own saw
fngs. There are liberal rules for re-
newals when payments lapse and for
paying the accumulations to heirs in
case Of death. Employers may con-
tract for annuities for employees, and
benevolent societies may provide in
this way for their members. There is no
compulsion in the law, but public opin-
ion will in time no doubt heartily en-.
courage this form Of old age insurance.
