Danger Of Common Colds.

Ever since the influenza epi-
demic of 1SS9.9O we have exper-
fenced waves of infectious ca
tarrhal colds which have been
been spoken of as inhnenza, or
grip, or simply as colds. To these
infections the infant seems to be
especially susceptible. When
one of these colds invades q
household, several of it's mem
bers usually contract it. While
some adults may escape, the baby
or the child of runabout age is
invariably affected. These in
fections spread rapidly and with
great certainty through the
wards of institutions caring for
young children During recent
winters In one institution the
sickness from this source has far
exceeded that from oil other in
fectlous diseases of childhood.
One of the most important re-
results is it's interference with
nutrition. This is Of somewhat
less Importance among children
of the runabout age, but in any
group of bottle fed infants such
infection not only prevents gain
but is, as rule, accompanied by
definite loss in weight. We are
too prone to look on these colds
as local affections when they are,
in reality, Infections.
When a group of children in q
family becomes infected, we
often see established house in
lection with, at intervals, recur-
rent outbreaks, which may ex-
tend over number of months,
until the advent of warm wealth
er or the departure of the family
to the country. This experience
is SO general in New York as to
be a matter of common report
among parents. Some susceptible
children are kept free only by
continued residence in the coun-
try, but unfortunately suburban
colonies and country towns have
their own share of infectious epi-
denies.
The amount of injury done
young children each year by such
colds can scarcely be estimated.
During the prevalence of such
colds, the possibilities of infec-
fection are excellent it the young
child travels by train, rides in

Be Modest.

Never seem to affect the char
act er in which you wish to shine.
Modesty is the only sure bait
when you angle for praise. By
modesty do not mean timidity
and awkward bashfulness, On
the contrary, be inwaIdly firm
and steady. Know your own
value, but take care to les nobody
discover that yo1 know it. What
eyer real merit you have, other
people will discover and people
always magnify their own dis
coveries, as they lessen those of
others.

Watch Your Fires.

Why is it that so many women
and children are accidentally
burned to death in this enlight-
ened age of modern improve
ment and every facility for con-
venience and safety? AT this
season of the year especially these
horrors are more common than
at any other. This Is accounted
for by the fact that at the be-
ginning of winter fires in stoves
and fireplaces come into general
use. But it would seem that this
very fact would make people more
careful than usual. Such, how
ever, is not the case, and there
is hardlya a day-not week at
least-that the newspapers do
not record one or more death
from women's and children's
dresses catching fire. These ter
rible accidents are not altogeth-
er the result of careless on the
part of sufferers, but that of
their families in leaving them
alone and unmatched.
1t takes only a few seconds for
the flames from a woman's or
child's dress to destroy life, often
by lingering, awful suffering.
either by inhaling the flames or
otherwise. AT this season of the
year, and in fact throughout the
entire winter season, as long as
open fires especially are in use,
women and children cannot be
too careful, and their families
should keep this always in mind.

Walker Voted with Fusionists

Fusiohists, working under a
w l-oraanized machine an d
promises of many Offices, Monday
at Nashville organized both
Houses of the Fifty-eighth Gen.
| eral Assembly.
No trouble, no bitterness was
expressed by the defeated Demo-
Gratis. They took'their medicine
ani marched in the even tenor of
their way, standing regular at
all times.
Gov. Hooper, complaining FOR
Two years that he could do moth
ing because he had u hostile
Legislature, now has the great
pleasure and distinction OF hav-
ing q law making body of his
own color and his own way of
thinking.
The first official act of the Sen
ate, therefore, was to introduce
u resolution requesting an im-
mediatas message from the Gov
error asking him to outline what
laws he needed TO enforce the
liquor laws in the large cities of
the State, where, according to his
claims, lawlessness has reigned
for four years.
This resolution came from
democratic sources and was q
bomb in the camp Of Fusionists.
1t was presented by Senator r.
A. Elkins of Weakley County
and was Senate Resolution No. 1.
For twenty-four hours before
the hour OF convening it was evi-
dent to many that the Fusionists
would organize both Houses, A
few members elected as Demo
Gratis could not be held in line.
Prominent among these were
Senators Maxwell aud Walker,
both elected as Democrats from
Democratic districts. The band
wagon caught them. Another
and o still greatertnlow to the
Democrats was the position taken
by Representative Byron Of
Franklin County. Mr.. Byron
was elected as Democrat from
a county that never fell into the
Republican column,
SO on the roll call at noon the
result was as follows:
Senate - Speaker, Newt I'll.
White, Giles; Chief Clerk, j. M.
Fulton, Marshall ; Assistant Clerk
Thomas M. Phillips, Shelby; En-
crossing Clerk, Miss Adine Mar
shall; Sergeant-at Arms, James

CARD OF THANKS.

We desire to- express our sim
cere gratitude-our most heartfelt
thanks-to the many who so will
ingly offered and gave assistance to
US at the time of our great loss in
the passing away of Patrick R. Vail,
our beloved husband and fatehr. We
would, in particular, thank the
lodges and the many others who
sent tributes of respect for the one
who is gone, in the way of floral Of
ferings. 1t is comforting to us, in
deed, to know that he whom we
loved in the home had so many faith
full and staunch friends everywhere
among those who knew him in busi-
ness, in the various fraternal organ
izations and as citizen. Many per-
formed acts of kindness of which we
shall not learn. perhaps; but we
thank all. We are mindful and ap-
preciative, too, of the fact that the
tributes of respect and tokens of sor-
row came mostly from those who
had known our loved one for many
years.
