DANGERS OF COMMON COLDS.

Ever since the Influenza epidemic of
1SS9-90 we have experienced waves of
infectious catarrhal colds which have
been spoken of as Influenza, or grip.
or simply as colds. To these infec-
tions the infant seems to be especial
ly susceptible When one of these
colds invades a household several of
Its members usually contract it,
While some adults may escape, the
baby or the child of runabout age is
almost invariably affected. These in
fections spread rapidly and with great
certainty through the wards of insti-
tutions caring for young children.
During recent winters in one institu-
ton the sickness from this source
has far exceeded that from all other
infectious diseases of childhood. One
OF the most important results is its
interference with nutrition. This is
of somewhat less Importance among
children OF the runabout age, but in
any group Of bottle-fed infants such in
lection not only prevents gain but is,
as rule, accompanied by definite loss
In weight. We are too prone to look
on these colds as local affections
when they are, in reality, infections.
When group of children in fam
fly becomes infected, we often see
established house Infection with. at
intervals, recurrent outbreaks, which
may extend over number of months
until the advent Of warm weather OF
the departure OF the family to the
country This experience is SO gen
eral In New York as to be a matter
OF common report among parents
Some susceptible children are kept
free only by continued residence in
the country but unfortunately subur
ban colonies and country towns have
their own share of infectious epi
denies.
The amount of injury done young
children each year by such colds car
scarcely be estimated During the
prevalence of such colds, the pcssibil
tiles of Infection are excellent IL ths
young child travels by train, rides ii
public conveyances or is taken te
hotels or crowded shops.
Only recently, says DIR. Thomas s
Southworth of Boston, in recent is
sue of the Journal OF the American
Medical Association, have we begun tc
appreciate the ravages of these subtle
forms of infection. With such knowl
edge, however, goes the moral obliga
ton to throw off our Indifference, to
face the question fairly, and to do all
in our power to lessen the unneces
sary sickness and the too frequent
pneumonia which follows It.

and in such places abroad as Essen:
Hellerau near Dresden: Theirs,
France; Agneta Park, Holland; Ser

from this brief examination of the
problem of the factory and the home
are five: % That new factories
should locate in the outskirts when
ever practicable, for their own inter
est and in the interest Of all others
concerned; (2) That existing factories
in cities should be encouraged, as
opportunity offers, to remove to the
outskirts; (S) That employers and en-
ployes should cooperate in social
and democratic way to create a real
local community on the outskirts of
cities near factories, each doing their
part to make the local community
convenient and satisfying: t4) That
the same cooperation should be d.
rected toward securing also for en-
ployes and their families the advan-
tages and permanent attractions of
city life; t5) That the choice for fac
tory employees should not be sharply
drawn between the city and the coun-
try. Both should be recognized as de-
sirable-the city for occasional in
spiration and diversion. and the more
open country on the outskirts OF
cities for the essentials of daily life

denying the fact that the independent
progressive party movement this year
was made up almost exclusively of re-

Declaring at least half OF the repub-

he did not expect any of them to sup

resentative Mann of Illinois, for that

He predicted the elimination of the

blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope SO for the sake of the

a bad stomach, that is a weak stom-
ach, rather than bad cook, and for
a weak stomach there is nothing else
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. It gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures

BALLAD OF THE BRAVE.
We have 1oyedLbut we have lost;
We have fought-but we have
failed;
We have paid the bitter cost,
Yet our hearts have never quailed;
We have, fallen in the fray
Through the sweep Of countless
suns,
Yet we've risen--and today
We are standing to the guns.
We have felt the slash OF pain
Where the CORY cleft was deep;
We have battled long in vain
But we've never stopped to weep;
We have never cared to know
Where the laurelled highway led,
Only that we face the foe
At the line-with unbowed heao.
we have dreamed throughout the
night
Not of glory without end
But the whirlwind Of the figh.
Which the coming day would send:
We were tempted-and we fell
To the bitter depth-and then
From the crimson nav of hell
We have struggled back again.
Only those who face the sweep
OF life which fate defies-
Yet fight upward from the deep
Know wherein true valor lies;
Only those who, beaten down,
Rise again as from the grave
Shall with harp and holy crown
Chant the ballad of the brave.

Mail.
