COLD A BLESSING.

Do not grumble about the present
cold snap. 1t is fine thing for every
body, and the too general opinion that
the coal man is the only, or chief bene-
ficiary is all wrong. Cold is an invig-
orator, health maker. 1t causes the
blood to flow more swiftly, and ener-
gizes human beings, creating healthy
appetites, liking for work and many
other desirable attributes
The reason South Dakota is the best
state IN the union, and the people of
the north generally are more energetic
and more effective than those farther
south is due to the blessings cold wealth
err brings. 1t kills the hookworm-
the thing that makes the people of
equatorial countries lazy and mo ac-
count" 1t creates prudence and fore
sight, for northerners have learned
most of them to provide for winter s
coming in advance they have become
'forehanded.
Cold destroys disease germs, and is a
benefactor, rather than an enemy to
mankind. If you are fit, you will not
complain because of the Geld, but thank
your stars you live in climate that is
invigorating; rather than enerving
that gives you the pleasure of tussling
with the elements in order to secure q
livelihood and home for your loved ones.
