The New Treatment With Fresh Air
+. .and Antiseptic Vapors That Does
Away With Injurious Internal Medi-
oinss, Flannel Jackets and Chest
Protectors.
Every mother is doctor when it
comes to treating the annoying little
cold troubles that all children are heir
to. The only trouble is to know what
really is the best thing to do.
Some mothers keep the children in
doors and make them wear chest pro-
tectors and heavy flannels. This
mehod deprives the children of fresh
air and exercise they need and the
heavy clothing keeps the pores of the
skin open and really makes them catch
cold more easily. .-.
A few mothers neglect these trou-
tbles entirely and this often leads, in
after life, to chronic catarrh, weaken
ed lungs, etc.
Most mothers keep on hand a for
Imidaale array of bottles and are usual
lily dosing one or more of the children.
This method is probably worse than
lthe others as most cough medicines
scontain alcohol and some form of
,opiuEn and are very injurious to the
delicate stomachs of the little folks.
After all. colds are simply inflam-
lmatiens of the lining Of the air pass
ages just like sunburn and mosquito
bites are Inflammation of the skin. We

YaWn If You Feel Like II
rom the Spokane Spokesman Review

From the Spokane Spokesman Review.
Did you know that good. wide, open
mouthed yawn is splendid thing for the
whole body? This is the opinion of an
English hygienst.
1t is one of natures most evident de-
mands for rest. Some people think
they yawn because they are sleepy. But
that is not SO. They yawn because they
are tired. They may be sleepy, too, but
that is not the real cause of their yawn-
ing. You are sleepy because you are tired
and you yawn because yous are tired.
Whenever You feel like yawning just
go ahead and yawn. Don't try to sup
press it unless you are out in very formal
society where Your hostess would be
grieved.
If you can stretch at the same time that
you yawn, do that, too, for it is another
way of natures stretching and relaxing
the muscles. Indeed, If you are very tired.
and do not feel like yawning' there IS
nothing that will rest you so quickly as
to sit on straight backed chair and lift
the feet from the floor, push them out in
front of you as far as possible. stretch
out the arms and put the head back.
Then open the mouth and make yourself
yawn. Your tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested.

reduction cannot seriously affect the Rir
mingham district and at the same tir1e
it is just to the eastern producer. as
his furnaces are located at the point of

Regarding Free Coal
The placing of coal on the free list

freight rates fix certain zones in which
a coal mine can sell its product. Coal can
not be shipped beyond the point where
freight rates are favorable to our DIS
triet and not to our competitor Tie
importation of coal into the United States
will largely be in the New England states
and those states now receive their coal
from the Pennsylvania fields and not from
the West Virginia or southern mines, so

feet one way or the other in our district,
