E jMMON COLDS.

The Committee on Prevention of
Disease of the Chamber of Commerce
has just concluded most interesting
study of over 5000 Individual cases Of
common colds, occurring in Boston in
the six months from December, 1909
until June, 1910.
This investigation was begun to
show that colds are not due to in
sufficient clothing, to low or thin
shoes, changes from heat to cold tenn
perature, to the breathing of night
air or any of the usually accepted
reasons why we sniff1e during the
winter. 1t is known that members of
Arctic expeditions, while exposed to
the great cold in polar regions, never
have colds. A generation ago, in his
march to the sea, Gen. Sherman no.
ticed that while his men were kept un-
der the worst kind of conditions of
food, ETC., they were practically all
we'll, only when they touched civiliza-
! ton again did the colds appear.
! This investigation by the Chamber of
Commerce seems to prove conclusive
~ that colds are spread from victim
to victim. Since the slightest cold
may make progress to the throat and
| lungs, and end in pneumonia the impor
lance of proper understanding of this
subject is apparent.
A summary of the report shows
that the average loss of time for the
persons investigated was about two
weeks a year, with a loss in money.
not including Individual expenditure
for medical treatment of $44.3 "a each
per annum. The most common cold
is the head cold and March is the most
dangerous month.
The remedy lies in ventilation,
whether in office. public building, sit
ting room or bedroom. Night air in
the city is much purer than day air s.;
there is less smoke belching from city
smokestacks, much less dust from
street traffic. so that windows should
be opened from top and bottom in
every sleeping room. Both proven
tion and cure may be obtained by
nourishment and general hygiene and
proper clothing, particular impor-
persons suffering from infectious
colds from the rest of the family, or
those working with them. This in
curry is only small beginning in the
work of preventive medicine. When
we consider the large death rate every
year from pneumonia and other dis
eases which begin with the common
cold, the necessity of giving serious
consideration to this matter, in view
of it's direct economic as we'll as hui
manitarian Importance to employers
and the community at large, are OBJ

Red Letter DAYS.

The origin of 1, red letter day" has
been traced back to the third century
Gregory. bishop of Caesarea. jealous
for the conversion of pagans, found
them unwilling to give up their Gus
tomary recreations at the festivals Of
their gods. so. taking a leaf out Of
their book. he instituted festivals in
honor of saints and martyrs. This eX
ample soon led to the institution Of
holy days. now corrupted into holt
days. In old almanacS all such holy
days were set forth in red ink. the
rest being in black: hence the term
red letter day" for any notable occa-
sion. Others say that the origin of the
expression is much more recent and is
due to the fact that Saints day. the
9Th Of November. the kings birthday
and accession and King Charles day
were similarly marked off in red as
holidays for the Bank Of England. evil

First Established.
The first incorporated gas company
was the National Light and Heat Com
pany of England. established in 1909
In America the first gas company was
incorporated in Baltimore in 1916. the
second one in Boston in 1922. and the
next one was the New York Gaslight
company Incorporated in 1923.
Prior to 1880 the gas business of this
country was nominal, but the price
probably was responsible for it's slow
development. From 1924 to 1923. says
Moody's Magazine. the New York Gas
light company sold gas to consumers
at the rate of $40 a thousand cubic
feet.

was produced in England about 1925

the mosquitoes transmit the germ?
By cutting sections of the proboscis

HOUSEHOLD
WOMEN AS MONEY MAKERS.

One woman with mechanical ability
is making a good living by making
picture puzzles. She buys pretty pic
lures or cuts them out of magazines,
pastes them on wood and cuts the
wood up with jigsaw. Some of her
products she lets for so much an eve
ming or SO much week. Some she
sells outright.
Another girl makes a little pin
money by taking care of babies dur
ing church ii ne for mothers who
could not otherwise attend the servic-
es. She is given big room off the
vestry and is paid as a social worker
by the church. She also takes babies
at her home week days for mothers
who wish to go shopping.
A school teacher who had taught 20
years and was nearly worn out had
the courage to break loose. go to Cal.
ifornia and start raising bees. AL
though she had no previous expert
ence she took lessons from an old bee
man and the first summer cleared
above all expenses 5000.
Today she has profitable business
in which she says there is far less
hard work than I had expected and
unceasing interest in bee doing,
and much time for miscellaneous
reading and study as we'll as the writ

Another suggested to her husband,
who was mechanically inclined, that
the thermometer on the outside of ar
oven really told nothing about the
heat inside; what the oven needed
was a heat valve-some arrangement
whereby an aperture in the over
would automatically open when there
was too much heat, thus maintaining
the correct temperature for baking
bread. He perfected the idea, patent
ed it and has profted largely through
its sale.
Another woman discovered through
experiment a food mix ture that made
her hens lay; she gave it a name

with the greatest success.
Another woman, after many unsuc
