FIGHT THE SUMNER COLD.

Fight shy of summer colds.
How to do it?
Here's how, according to the Boston
committee on the prevention of dis
ease.
Colds are contagious. They are all
caused by germs. You catch cold just

of colds are spread from the nose
and mouth of one person to another.
Draughts, wet feet, chilling of the
body and sudden changes of tempera.

cold (stiff neck and other muscular
pains are not here included). These
conditions may weaken the body, help
the germs, favor the development of
colds and make them worse. 1t is
worth noting that arctic explorers new.
err suffer from colds until they become
infected from their fellowmen on their
return to civilization.
Do not get close to others who
have colds.

pie who have colds. Even though you
do get your cold from your neighbor
don't pass It on.
Do not sneeze or cough except into
your handkerchief.
DO not spit on the floor; to do so
may spread colds, tuberculosis and
other diseases.
Do not neglect cold, 1t may lead

Since President Diaz of Mexico has
accepted his recent reelection in spite
of his previous declaration that he
would retire at the end of his last
term of office, it may now be taken
for granted that he will remain at
the head of the Mexican government
as long as he lives. And after that
the Mexican's republic will face a
problem as to who can successfully
fill his place that no other country
will volunteer to solve for them.

THE AVIATION FATALITIES.

The CHASTITY train of mangled bodies
following the development of air trans
sit is suggestive of the venturesome
spirit once prevalent in the world.
The aviators are just about the same
type as the vikings and crusaders of
old. These were days when men walk,
ed the edge of deaths abyss daily.
They never looked down at the chasm
below, but always at the path ahead
the duty to be faced or the foe to be
fought that day. Tomorrow took care
of itself. The same spirit can still
be found in many peoples not fully
civilized. The Japs, for instance, went
to their death, in the war with Rus
STA, apparently without concern.
The typical man Of the present age
is different creature. 1t is a time
of life insurance, of boards of health
of anxious searching against all pos
sible chances of disease and accident
If you told a man that there is one
chance out of a hundred that he would
die tomorrow, he would be as UNI
happy about it as the old timer would
to know that his end was certain.
There may seem to be a good many
aviators just now, but in proportion
to the population, it is about one out
of a hundred thousand. The rest OF
us simply couldn't.
