KEEP IN THE OPEN

In these times OF cool mornings
with the thermometer about So de-
grees and sultry afternoons with the
mercury reaching for so it behooves
all to be careful of health.
With the first touch of frost coughs
and colds and hoarseness and rheu-
matte pains appear. These things
are not alone the Affections of thin
blooded ones. they are liable to attack
all. Colds, bronchitis. influenza,
pneumonia and kindred ailments are
now classified as house diseases, .
due to foul atmosphere and not, as is
generally supposed, to exposure or
drafts, but the result of germs which
flourish under conditions caused by
dust, darkness and dirt in poorly
ventilated rooms, cars, factories and
crowded public places.
Don't shut up the windows at the
first hint of cold weather. Your
lungs need the air, and under all cir
cumstances keep out of doors all you
possibly can.

you have to hang up the Shut the

The state Of Illinois and the towns

cles on early local history in this

TOM MARSHALL'S PLAY.

Governor Marshall. who IS cam
paigning in the West, is making a
great play in the interest of law en-
forcement in northern Indiana, where
it is sought to establish a race track.
Just how it happens that the Cover
nor's righteous indignation is aroused
to such a pitch over gambling in
northern Indiana is hard to explain
under any other hypothesis than that
he is doing it in the interest of his
good friend Taggart and his French
Lick resort Visitors to French Lick
report that gambling of all sorts is
open and fragrant there, and the Gov
ernor may feel that he owes it to
Taggart and the interests down at
the Orange county Monte Carlo. to do
what he can to avoid splitting
the patronage with any institu-
lions located in northern Indiana
Outside of this idea the Governor may
feel that the agitation against the
race track viii be advantageous po-
litically to his party as northern In
diana residents may not be so Injured
as the Orange county people seem tc
be.-COlumbus Republican.
