YOU CATCH COLD IN
 POORLY VENTILATED ROOMS
State Board of Health Gives the Warnins-Germs Thrive in Bad Air.

Common colds, how to catch them and how to avoid them, is the text of the health sermonette contained in the monthly bulletin of the state board of heal(, Issued Thursday. It says: Common colds, as the name implies, have long been considered as due to lowered atmospheric temperature This belief is growing less and less every day. The present opinion of physi- clans is that most of them have very little to do with exposure to a low temperature, but are transferred from person to person by an infection, there being a number of micro organisms that will cause them. The best place to catch cold is not out of doors, but in close, ill-ventilated rooms, cars, theatres or churches. Getting the feet wet or chilling the body does little more than lower the general health, making us more easy victims to them The fact that colds are much more prevalent in winter is chiefly because at that season of the year we live in houses with doors and windows closed, thus providing an ideal place for the multiplication and transmission of the influenza and other germs. Then, too, in cold weather we take less exercise out of doors. which results in lower bodily vigor and less resistance, there fore we are more susceptible. People who live out of doors summer and winter and properly ventilate their. houses suffer little more from colds in winter than they do in summer. One seldom /takes cold from normal exer- else in the open air. Colds on the other hand are readily traced from one person to another through house. holds, schools. factories and often oc- cur after attending crowded assem- plies.
 What then is the remedy? We can not destroy all the countless germs or quarantine everyone who has cold. This is not necessary. If we keep ourselves in vigorous health. clean and warmly, but not too heavily clad we can den germs. We may of course take cold occa sionally. but we will throw it off quickly. Learn to live and sleep as much as possible in the open air. Fifty years ago it was the pop ular belief that person with con- sumption should not be exposed to cold air. now we know that cold fresh air is the only cure and foul airs its cause. What will cure consumpti ton will not harm healthy man. Bath ing and exercise increase bodily vigor by promoting the action of the skin and the elimination of waste material. Therefore to avoid taking cold we should keep the body in such excellent condition that it will resist the in vasion of germs and we should avoid infection as far as possible.

Navy Department Looking for Some one to Christen Boat Named After David Bushnell of Westbrook

The United States Navy department is looking for a suitable sponsor to christen the new submarine tender tor of the American Turtle was born in Westbrook. Conn.,. about 1745. An old cellar on Toby Hill. in the woods, of that town, marks the. spot where he was born. He was the son of Nehe- miah and Sarah 1ngham Bushnell. When boy he went with his parents to live in a one story-house which stood just north of the house now occupied by r. Gettenger.
 David Bushnell tested his boat from the banks of the Connecticut river in Old Saybrook. Shortly after the war he was located in France in the en- ploy of that government. but returned to America and established a large medical practice in the state of Georgia under the name of Dr. Bush. Shortly before he died it is claimed he com municated with relatives in West brook and the most of his effects were sent home to them. He was fitted for age of 27 years, and was graduated in 11o. year before war was declared, but his invention was said to have been well outlined before he left college.
 He is not thought to have any lineal descendants, but his brother Ezra Bushnell had an infant son baptized May 2S. 1176. as recorded in the rec ords of the Westbrook Congregational church. The child was named David Bushnell.

HAS TAKEN OUT
 THREE WEDDING LICENSES
New London Young Man is Persistent
 in Face of Discourasements.

There Is one young man in New London who has every intention of getting married. judging from his per sistency in securing . marriage lie town clerk Since September 26th three have been issued there in his name and each to a different young lady, while two different dates for the event have been set, which is now ex- pected to take place here today, ac- cording to the date given in the ap- plication for his latest license.
 Because Of the fact that the young man, John Buckto. clerk in a store in New London, is a Russian, and de- sires to be married by Russian priest he is coming here to be mar ried by the Russian orthodox priest, Rev. N. Nikolendo.
 The successive licenses tell a tale of perseverance in love in spite of two defeats in his attempts to lead the objects of his affections to the altar. When the ,perservering groom to be took out his first license on September 26. his intended bride was Miss Sophia Miehalevitz. who is .em- ployed in 8. hotel in New London. The date for the wedding was to be Octo- Der 10th, but evidently all did not go well with the marriage plans for MT. Buckto was back again at the town clerks office to secure a new license. IHlS CIIne CIle Drlde was IO De M1SS Josie Raschowska.- he sair She is employed in mill in New London. The wedding date was to be the same as before, but again there was a change in his matrimonial plans, for he made one more trip to tn town clrk's offlc and took out his third li- cnse, this time stating that October 17th would be the wedding date.
 As his two previous intended brides have both been of his own nationali- ty, so is the one who is named in this last license. She is Miss Eleanor Cahorvic. who is employed in a hotel in New London.
