DR.. cRUMelNE GIVES ADVICE.
Says Best Place to Catch Cold Is in
Hot Room.

People don't catch colds very often
because of sitting in draughts, but
they do catch colds by neglecting the
fresh air. That is the official opinion
of Dr. S. j. Crumbine. secretary of the
Kansas board of health. This is the
cold catching season of the year." said
DR.. Crumbine. "The winter pest is
now appearing among us and most peo-
pie have the idea that a draught in
room is the cause OF most of the colds
and the sneezing and blowing and
stuffy feelings.
THE cold is a germ disease. The
germ is peculiar chap. He just dotes
on hot, stuffy, illy-ventilated rooms,
and he gets in his work best with
people who persist in sitting in that
sort of room. The colds have no
specific germ, but the germs infect
the throat and breathing organs and
cause the trouble.
Catching cold is an accurate eX-
preston because most colds are con-
tagious. If one member of the family
has a cold and the rooms are kept
warm and stuffy it is almost certain
that everyone in the family will catch
cold also. The same is true in the
schools. The best place to miss cold
is out doors or even in draught,
while the best place to catch the
measly winter pest is in hot, close,
stuffy, poorly ventilated and infected
houses, school rooms, churches, and
theaters. Fresh air is the worst enc
my of the cold germ. 1t will do more
than all the medicines in the world.
The frequency of colds during the
winter is caused by the fact that we
are kept in doors adj the time. with the
windows and doors shut tight in order
to keep warm, and thus we provide
the very best of conditions for the
cultivation and transmission of the
germs producing the disease.
There never was so cold day that
it wouldn't do good to open the doors
and windows for a few moments. IL
would save doctors bills, but might
increase the coal or gas bills. But who
cares about little extra coal bill
wien they feel good all the time and
don't have cold?
"The best treatment for tuberculosis
is fresh air. The best treatment for
colds is fresh air and lots OF 1t, WIN
ter and summer. Pure, fresh air never
hurt anyone, and it keeps the bodily
strength and vigor up to a high re-
sisting point and one is not likely to
take cold or any other infectious dis
ease.
"Just remember that little fresh
air never hurt anyone, while a hot
stuffy room is the germs best ally
and fresh air his worst enemy. A
draught will not do nearly so much
damage as a room with poor ventila-
ton"

The total vote cast for the suffrage
amendment was 1925 and the total
vote against it was 159,197.
The women did not get their big ma

it was generally believed that the So

counties did not turn up any big ma

ers.
This years yield of 156,499,3S2 bush
els of corn from considerably dimin.
ished acreage, is 40 per cent larger
than that of 1911, and is the bulkiest
since 1906 1t is the most valuable
corn crop Kansas ever grew. Thirteen
counties have 100000 or more bush
els each. Smith being first with g.
294,O33 bushels and Jewell second with
5,157,36O bushels. The highest average
yields were forty bushels in Wyan-
dotte, thirty1seven in Leavenworth
and Smith, thirty-six in Atchison and
thirty-five in Brown, Doniphan and
Johnson Thus it Is seen that the
best acre returns are mainly from the,
counties in the northeastern quarter
of the state.
On an acreage of 80 per cent less
than last year, the yield of oats In the
state was about 32 per cent more. 10
is the second most valuable oat crop
raised in the state, although ranking
sixth in volume. The average yield,
nearly twenty eight bushels per acre
is greater than for any other year Of
the decade, excepting 1910. Sumner
county is the leading oat-producer,
with 3,362,756 bushels.
Correspondents estimate that the
area of winter wheat sown this fall
may exceed 100000 acres. This is
the largest acreage ever sown. except
in 1911. Using 100 as satisfactory
basis, the general average condition is
reported at 81, which is four points
higher than one year ago at this time,
and 15.4 above that in the fall of 1910.
Sowing, however, was still in progress
in most of the counties in the western
third of the state in the second week
in November, owing in frequent cases
to scarcity of horses, caused by losses
from the recent epidemic.
Brown county reports higher
average condition of growth-102 per
cent-followed by Marion, with 1O1,
Sumner 101, and Harper adjoining 100,
Clay 100, Wabaunsee and Wyandotte
100, with sixty-three others princi-
pally in the eastern two-thirds of the
state averaging 80 or better.
