Concerning "Colds. :"
From the Chicago Journal

From the Chicago Journal
With the advent Of cool weather will
come the regular fall crop Of "colds :"
Why?
Because Of the drop in temperature. Not
at all. Because Of some peculiar poison
Gus property in the fall air? No.
Because as soon cool weather comes
about half the city's population tries to
live without any fresh air.
There are many people who still believe
that one Will drown in night air, and
there are at least as many who hold that
windows should never be left open unless
the thermometer is higher outside the
house than in.
The fear of drafts is the beginning OF
sneeZeS.
True, one can catch cold even in fresh
air by getting sufficiently chilled. But
this happens about once in fifty times
or less
The usual formula for catching cold is
to sit in a close, i'll ventilated room for
several hours, and then go to bed in a
room whose windows are tightly closed
| This seldom fails.
| The simplest formula for avoiding colds
| is to keep the house wei ventilated and
not too hot, take plenty of exercise and
sleep in room with an open window.

RULERS TO VISIT PARIS
King and Queen of England
May Go to France in
March.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON. October 10. 1912.
The third week in March is now re-
garded as the most probable time for the
king and queen to pay their promised
state visit to Paris This is expected to
extend over about a week, during which
time their majestieS will make their head
quarters at the British embassy in the
Rue st. HOnOre. The central features of
this visit will be a grand review Of the
garrison on the Champ &c Mars and a
gala performance at the opera house
Princess Mary is expected to accompany
her parents upon this occasion, but there
is no prospect of the Prince of Wales
joining the party.
1t is not yet decided whether the king
and queen shall pay similar visit to
Brussels as they return to this country
but it is highly probable that this will De
the case.
1t would seem, however, that the visit
of the king and queen to Berlin will again
be postponed. since the time at Their
disposal in the early part of next year
will be strictly limited In due course
however, there is to be a state visit to the
German capital, while another is also he
ing discussed to the King and Queen OF
Spain at Madrid.
In the autumn Of next year it is under
stood that the king and queen will joiT
Queen Alexandra in Denmark, and viii
make short stays at both Stockholm anC

fore they return.

The literary shop is eexpOsed once
more, this time by woman in AtchiSon
who writes in her spare moments for the
newspapers and magazines. She tells her
home newspaper that she lately received
from an eastern magazine a list of in
structions, and that one of the "Don'ts'
was this: Don't worry about your spell
ing or punctuation. We employ college
graduates at SIS week to correct your
manuscript. What we want from yau is
new ideas and situations. We're not pay

in the same case, but after all that has
been said lately of the illiteracy OF col

Stevenson once observed that he would
not trust an archangel to read his proofs
for him, but despite his shilling shockers,
Stevenson was hardly better than 4 mere
literary man, and troubled about fine
points of style to a degree which the
hustlng editor of live magazine would
find absurd. Yet is it quite SO absurd
as the delusion Of the editor that what
he is paying for is new ideas and situa-

new situation turn up in current htera-
ture? There are new squints at life still
to be had. but illiteracy. unluckily. Is no

Let Us Reward Our
Ancestors.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Come to think of II. of all the curious
insanities Of the world is not the en-
nobling Of q man because Of his ancestors

My great-grandfather was a famous
general. hence 1 am to be pensioned for
life supported in idleness and mainta aimed
a noxiOus parasite on the community.
My many times great grandfather came
over with William the Conqueror conse-
Quen1y i am to fare Sumptuously every
day and devote my time wholly to amuSe-
ment. while Woodworking folk give me a
per cent of their wages.
1t is not a new problem. 1t has puzzled
men for centuries. Radicals have fought
and shot because of it. Certain types of
blind have seen in the arrangement the
hand of God and the salvation of society.
The only different aspect the problem II
taking on in these times is that 1t IS be-
coming ludicrOus.
1t is only when the world gets to
laughing at an institution that We may
be sure the institution is mOribund.
And really. for a boy to be brought
up in wealthy idleness and carefully
trained TO be a menace to society, be-
cause his ancestors did something, is it
not like an idea from Alice in Won
derland?
The Chinese, at least they of the old
regime. were much more rational. They
reversed the process. and when a man
rendered signal service TO the state they
proceeded to ennOble his ancestors.
They held. very justly. that it is alb
surd that useless and degenerate should
be rich. noble and influential SIM
ply because his forefathers had been
brave soldiers good judges or sue
cessful merchants: but. on the con-
trary whoever is virtuOuS, force
full and great in himself nanifestly owes
at least a good part of his excellent char
acter TO his antecedents; hence the Chi
nese where a man showed himself to be
somewhat. logically rewarded his anceS-
tors by making them titled counts and
dukes.
am sure YOU will find the Chinese plan
the more sensible.
My ancestors are responsible for me:
let them be rewarded or punished accord
ingly. I am not responsible for them,
why should bear their sins or use their
money?

Castor Oil as a Lubricant.

From Cuba Opportunities.
The remunerative prices which castor
oil is bringing in foreign markets
have awakened renewed interest in the
castor plant. The industry is appar-
emily one that does not require much
skill in planting, and once esablshe

The plant has been raised by the ia

siderable acreage is now under cuiti-

In the East Indies. where the castor
bean is extensively cultivated. it yields
as much as five tons of seeds to the
acre In Jamaica there are several
species, and recent experiments show
that the nut grown here gives a larger
yield of oil than the East Indian
product. Experience seems to Indicate
hat the castor plant is practically i'm

has become very popular as lubri-

the fact that John Kelly, the Tammany
