TAKING COLD

Taking cold is one OF the commonest
of unpleasant human experiences, and
there is no i'll that.fiesh is heir to for
the relief of which so many and varied
remedies are suggested, or nostrums
recommended. A cold is one of the
easiest things TO take, but often one of
the hardest to get rid of. The best time
to cure cold is in its incipiency, for
when it gets good hold it has to run
course. The many people suffer S,se-
verely from colds because they neglect
the simple means Of checking,them at
theSutset.
Speaking of colds, and the checking
of them at the start, we note COM
munication by DR.. Richard Ellis. a
New York physician, in the Medical
Record, in which he says, "When l
feel strong draft blowing On my bald
head always rub it hard; that brings
the blood back, and to avoid taking
cold. "He says that sneezing is always
followed by congestion of the face,
especially when the sneeze is hearty,
and "that is natures way of bringing
the blood back" The doctor suggests
that when the nasal mucous membrane
is first congested aud one feels that he
is taking cold, let him bend forward,
as in picking up pin, strain gently
til. the face is red, and then in an erect
position try 10 breathe through the
practically stopped nostrils, this process
to berepeated until the nostri's are fully
open. This nasal congestion, he Says, is
the opening chorus to a cold, and the
plan he proposes for ending the per
Torrance with the chorus he is con vino
ed after three years observation is
ef1icacious. In addition lie recommends
hot drinks and exercise until the chilly
feeling vanishes.

Pastor Was Surprised,

The pastor of a church in this city
went to call on one of his Pensioners
who lived in a single room in a club
house. He raped on the door. There
was no answer for moment and then
rather suppressed voice said:
wait a minute. can't let you In
now-but wait a minute
He waited. After what seemed sew.
eral minutes he heard the voice again:
"Now stand up close to the door, and
when orer it come in as quickly as
you can"
1t was the pastors first call, and he
began to wonder what sort of Black
Hand society or bombmaking club he
was to visit. His worst fears seemed
about to realize, for as the door was
opened he was net by streaming red
light and an evil smell.
Hurry" said the host, "or you'll
spoil the plate. That lamp always
smells like hell"
Then he glanced up and saw who
the man was who had invaded his

Helen had protested that she knew

Mrs. Stevens had promised to make all

would allow her to be exhibited.
Mrs. Stevens was also to send after
her. But this morning when the mes.

Later Helen strolled around amcng

A large barn and tobacco shed
on the John H. Martz farm, two
miles south of Versailles, were
consumed by fire on Wednesday
afternoon of last week, with all
their contents, causing a loss Of
some $500. The origin of the
fire is a mystery and when men,
bers of Mr.. Gains family, the
tenant, noticed it the flames had
gained such headway they were
helpless to check them or get
them under control. This years
crop of tobacco was lost, as we'll
as one horse, quantity of hay,
potatoes, farm implements, etc.
Loss partly covered by insurance.
When employees of the Wago-
man machine shop in Minatown
went to work Monday morning
they found the place had been
entered, supposedly Saturday
night, by burglars and most of
the best and valuable tools taken.
The matter was at once reported
to police headquarters and the
Celina bloodhouuds were brought
down and put on the track of the
robbers, but were unable to take
up the trail. For that reason it
is thought the theft was commit
ted Saturday night, the robbers
tracks being so obliterated the
dogs could not take up the scent.
The tools were valued at about
