Colds May be Avoided.

BY those who are fortunate enough
to always breathe pure air, and never
get run down by overwork or exposure.
Even these lucky people do not always
escape the contagious colds which at
certain seasons prevail to such an ex-
tent as to be almost epidemic. It is
wise to be prepared for troubles of
this nature in our climate, and the

of such an attack.

Scranton, Pa, April Fifty men
and toys are believed to have perished
today in mine fire in the Pancoast
Colliery at Throop. three miles from
this city. Some estimates place the
number at so. Three bodies have been
recovered These were found n short
distance beyond where the flames first
broke cut, shortly before 10 O'Clock to-
day. Three men, protected by helmets
ard oxygen tanks, pushed past the
point where the flames were first dis
covered late this afternoon and stum-
bled over the bodies OF two men and
n boy who had evidently fallen while
groping their way to safety.
To those familiar with the conditions
in the Pancoast col!iery the finding of
these bodies indicated there was prac-
tically no hope for the others impris-
oned there.
A great majority of the missing men
and boys are foreigners. Foreman

have perished.
