FACTS Asou-r ! COLDS

Colds are the cOmmOneSt malady
we have. Everybody should know the
A B C's about colds. Here they arc
put in practical form by an autnoric,
on the subject:
| !. COlds are shown to be con
tagiOus and, therefore, caused BIZ
germs by the simple fact that they
are Catching" one can take cold
from another person who has a cold
2. Severe colds always begin with
q sensation OF clillipess followed. b,
more or less of q fever-chills and
fever. That is the identical manner
IN which practically every infectious
disease caused by microbes begins it's
career.
3. Like all gcrm-cRused diseases,
colds have tendency to run q more
or less definite course. They are self
limited, that is, after a certain time
they usually begin to recover of
themselves. In this way cold be-
haves exactly as do measles, chicken
pox. scarlet fever, pneumonia, etc.
4 Like other infectious diseases,
colds may be followed by inflamma-
tions In various internal organs. pro.
ducing congestion of the stomach,
lungs, liver, spleen, Or kidneys. Thesc
secondary results are due to the irri-
tating effects Of the poisons (toxins)
Of tho germs circulating in the blood
stream of the patient. Those symp-
toms Of secondary poisoning follow
in the wake Of colds and influenza,
just as they follow attacks Of diph-
iberia and scarlet fever.
5. Colds are shown to bo infec-

". sometimes highly, contagious,
give it to others, to those individuals
who are susceptible.
s. Colds, like other contagious
maladies. can be prevented, con-
trolled, and regulated by isolation and
quarantine, and we should hasten the
time when they win be thus sensibly
regarded and scientifically treated.
Z. Colds are shown to be more
or less infectious by the fact that they
can generally, in their earlier stages,
be successfully treated and cffectual-
ly absorbed by the use Of antiseptic
nose washes and germicidal throat
gargles.
8. That common colds are OF an
infectious nature is further suggested
by tho well known fact that a severe
cold seems to confer a short-livsd
immunity upon its victim. That is,
a healthy, robust person, who is
recovering from very bad cold, l.
not likely to have another such al
tack for several months, maybe not
for full year. Some folks have
their regular colds oncc each winter,
then they are seldom bothered /.

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c., Oct. 21, 1913
Senator and Mrs. Brady returned to
Washington last week from a trip
west. They both enjoyed their visit
!, to Idaho very much indeed. Mrs.
BRADY was very much pleased with
hsd reception I'm the state. and - with
the people that she had tho pleasure
Of meeting. Senator Brady at oncc SO
tied down to routine work and says
that he feels very much benefited by
coming In contact with his constitu-
onts and finding out their needs and
wants. In speaking of his trip Sena-
tor Brady said, never enjoyed q
trip through Idaho more in my life.
The weather was delightful and after
the long hot summer 1t seemed indeed
good to breathe the fresh mountain
air once more l visited both south
and north Idaho and met hundreds Of
people ard feel that the time was
well spent in thus getting in touch
with the needs Of tho people. Busi-
ness conditions In the west are about
the same as in the east. However, ths,
abundant crops In Idaho arc going
to help matters very much indeed. !
shall put in my time now while wo
are waiting for the currency bill in
cndeavoring to convince tho western
senators that it IL the proper thing
for them to work in harmony and
have united action on measures that
materially affect the west. believe
that II this can be accomplished tho
west will come into her own. Tho
senators will not attempt to enact
many laws during the time the cur
rency bill Is being considered by the
Committee on Banking and Currency
and this will give an opportunity to
senators to look mora in detail after
the work that must be attended to IN
behalf of their constituents.

Ing that they were trying to saddle
the blame upon the district Judge and
giving it out cold that in future vio-
laters of the local option law might
expect Jail sentence in his court.
In conversation with an Optimist re-
preventative this morning PrcsecutiEs
Attorney Good said:''I made the agree.
ment with the distinct understanding
that Mcguire, or his agents, would
quit the sale Of intoxicating liquors ia
his store at Shelley, and that he or
any of his agents or employees would
not keep any liquor about the pre-
mises. and that Mcguire would close
out his interests and leave Shelley as
soon as possible. It is very impro-
bable that the state could convict
Cochran, as the law Is worry indefi-
Mite on the subject of transporting
liquor The states main witness in
one Of the Mcguire cases has disap-
peared and the chance Of convicting
him on that charge is considerably
lessened. Besides Maguire is in bad
shape physically, and would undoubt-
edly spend most Of Jail sentence in
the hospital, at an expense to the
county Of $500 per day. There arc
three, more charges pending against
Mcguire, which will be prosecuted
vigorously II Mcguire does not mako
good his promise to sell out and stop
tho sale OF liquor.
Sheriff Jones said tho agreement ives
made because VIC considered it the
best and quickest way to stop the sale
OF intoxicating liquors in Shclley and
we had that in mind at all times. In
my opinion the agreement will end
tho liquor selling career of Dick Ma
guiro in Shelley"
