WOULD BAR COLDS
FROM LIST OF ILLS

NEW YORK, March 25.-A crusade of
education, which aims that common
colds may become uncommon within the
next generation" has been begun by
prominent physicians here, headed by
the venerable DR.. Abraham Jacob, pro-
fessor in the college of Physicians and
Surgeons. Here is list of the "don'ts,"
which the doctor says will prevent the
annual visitations of the proverbial
spring cold:
Don't sit in a drafty car on the way
home from a hard days work. Stand
up and move around.
Don't sleep in hot rooms.
Don't avoid the fresh air.
Don't stuff yourself at meal time
Overeating reduces your resistance.
Don't wear thin stockings. If it
were not for the thin stockings and
thin-soled shoes worn by women, the
doctors would be bankrupt.
Don't be afraid Of the cold water
bath.
Learn to blow your nose property.
Not one person in a thousand does il
ones nose hard and blow both nostrils
at once.
Particles of infection are likely &c
be blown into the passages or the ear
and cause earache. Always blow one
nostril at a time.
Mothers who expose the calves of
their children's legs to cold by making
them wear silly garments should never
have children. Men catch cold by put
ting their hands in their pockets and
exposing their wrists. The so-called
chest protectors benefit chiefly those
who sell them.

HARMON CANDIDACY

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Behind the
harmonious caucus of the Democrats
last night when, four house members
were nominated for places on the en-
larged rules committee, looms the shadow
of Gov. Judson Harmon, of Ohio, as the
Eext Democratic candidate for president.
II was due largely to the influence of
Governor Harmon that the dove of peace
captured the caucus and turned what
was disposed to be a stormy meeting into
a regular love feast
Congressman Clark, Underwood, FitZ-
gerald and Dixon, of Indiana, were elect
ed. Congressman James NJ. Cox, a Day
ton, Ohio. Democrat, is credited with
having paved the way for the harmonious
meeting He is their recognized leader,
and spokesman of Governor Harmon, AMI
it is stated today that his successful eX-
ertions with the house Democrats in the
interest of harmony were prompted by
desire TO help the Ohio governors

ton.
Cox launched and managed the cam
paign of Congressman Dixon. of Indiana.
for membership on the rules committee,
and he was largely responsible for the
selection of John j. Fitzgerald, of Brook
Ign. against whom opposition was threat
