and the protection OF life are more
precious to the people and more nee

the solving of our financial prob

service. the Improvement OF our

CAUSE AND TREATMENT. OF
COLDS.--In the majority of cases
one does not know how he caughy
that dreadful cold" In about the
same ratio they have been obtained
through downright useless careless
ness. In a lesser ratio the trouble
has been achieved by oyer-eareful-
would term 'molly-coddllng.
An ordinary cold is trning MAJ
ter that nature easily overcomes, ana
this Is why so many persons neglect
the little inniction to let the
cold take care of itself. But gener-
ally sudden cold is a very serious
matter and more deaths have been
caused by them than from almost any
other known cause. A strong ana
vigorous man may take a cold that
quickly develops into pneumonia that
will kill him I'm n few days, and DELI
cate young persons may contract ap-
parently slight colds that I'm the end
produce bronchitis. pleurisy or con-
sumption. Sometimes the mere en-
terlng of n cold atmosphere, when the
person Is very warm, or the entering
Of q warm atmosphere when one Is
very cola, may bring on the trouble.
And the colds acquired In these ways
are generally the most dangerous.
Every sensible person, however,
knows of these dangers ana knows,
also, that the sudden removing OF
wraps, because one feels a little dis
comfort after becoming over-heated,
or the failure to place about one
something of wrap after violent eX-
ercise that has caused much perspir-
alton, Is nearly sure to bring on
cold. A stableman, who knows the
least little thing about his business,
would not fail TO blanket horse
that had just come out OF a race on
other severe exercise, and even an
amateur athlete knows better than
to sit around without having put on
a sweater or something OF that sort,
after athletic work And yet many
a woman has come out Of a heated
ballroom, whore she has been dane
ing for hours and by sheer careless
ness in the matter of removing her
wraps, has rushed into the embrace
OF deadly pneumonia.
In short, colds are like nearly all
diseases, in the matter Of mourning
them: they can be avoided, If prop
er care is observed, and as has been
so often said in these lectures the
first and very best rule, as to health
Is to avoid disease by care, cleanli-
ness and common sense.
From all the causes Of colds: eX-
posure to draughts dampness' bad
weather and the like, colds are the
