The partial destruction Of the new
house OF Chancellor Lloyd-George at
Walton-on-the-hi near EPSON
shocked England into a decided turn
in the treatment of militant sufrra-
gets, who are believed to have perpe-
trated the outrage. Police officers
since then have been more strict in
their attitude toward the militants,
while the courts have assumed the
stand that they will treat .law-de-
tying suffraget leaders as criminals
liable to long prison sentences.

Cold.

Many people persist in riding on the
street cars, insufficiently protected by
clothing.
They start out perhaps in the heat
of the day and do not feel the need
of wraps.
The rapid moving of the car cools
the body unduly. When they board
the car perhaps they are slightly per-
spring. When the body is in this con-
ditiOn it is easily chilled. This is es-
pecially true when person is sitting
Beginning a street car ride in the
middle of the day and ending it in the
evening almost invariably requires ex-
ira wraps, but people do not observe
these precautions, hence they catch
cold.
Colds are very frequent in the au-
tumn on this account, and as the

on the car without being provided with
a wrap.
A cold caught in the autumn is liable
to last through the entire winter. Great
caution should be observed at this sea
son against exposure to cold. During
the pleasant days of autumn, the liza

diseases during this season.

their homes clean and wholesome. Of

THE man who makes money in a
community has a duty to perform
to that community, It may be
that he has made his money by his
superior business ability, and that
he would have done as well any
where. That does not alter the
case If his gifts are great his re-
sponsibility is equally as great. No
man was placed on earth for the
sole purpose Of making money, and
the man who has this as his ideal
had better never have been born.
Il IS not an act of charity, but the
performance OF a simple duty of the
man who has made money to pass
a little Of it on for the benefit of
the community, even though he
never expects to see a dollar Of his
contribution back.
