The Season Of Colds.

The season of coughs and colds,
of pneumonia and bronchitis, is
approaching-nay, is almost here.
And why!
Because there is some pecliar
unhealthfulness in ''fall air.? No.
Fall air is the only air available at
this time of year. Because of the
drop in temperature? That should
make for health rather than dis
case. Because of some mysterious
force which science has been unable
to discover! Not at all.
There is an increase in pulmo-
nary troubles at this season simply
because there is an increase in the
use of bad air. AS soon as the
mercury quits trying to outclimb
the price of beef people begin to
shut doors and nail down windows.
They wall out fresh air, because it
is cool air. In houses, street cars
and Offices they breathe the same
atmosphere over and over again.
Naturally, any disease germs
that happen to be around get well
distributed by this process. Natu.
rally, also, such germs find easy
lodgment on tissue devitalized by
being deprived of oxygen. The
annual crop of throat and lung
trouble is the result.
Insist on fresh air, even at the
cost of q little discomfort, and you
will 60 far toward safeguarding
yourself from the coughs and colds

Journal of Labor Scores County's
Change of Old Method as
Hardship on Public.

A striking editorial dealing with
the recent decision of the Sheriff.
the Ordinary and the Clerk of Fulton
County to upset the custom of years
and to insert the advertising of legal
papers in a high priced medium OF
limited circulation-and that circula-
ton almost entirely among members
of the legal professionals contained
in the current issue of The Journal
of Labor, the official organ of the la
Dor unions Of Georgia.
The Journal of Labor takes the
stand that the publication of the legal
advertising in The Fulton County
Daily Report, instead % in newspa-
pers of general circulation. as here
'tofore, will work hardship upon the
average citizen, who rarely sees "A

directly interested in pending litiga-

complaints, from it's patrons pro-
testing against the recently an
nounced change in the plan of ad-

the wise provision that the me-

community.
For some undisclosed reason the
new board recently selected The
Fulton County Daily Report as the
medium for publishing legal no.

The Daily Report is a special
publication circulating almost eX

interested in the courts of Atlanta,
its function being to post parties
specially interested in the status of
pending litigation, and its minimum
price-$12 per arnum--effectively
excluding the publication from gem
