Common Sense
About Colds.
It Is Easier to Prevent Cold Than to
Cure Ii.

Probably nine out of every ten colds
could be prevented by little care and
forethought.
There is really no occasion for any
body to suffer from what we call "a
cold"-
Plenty of fresh air and enough exer-
else to keep the blood in free circula-
ton and the cold germs would never
have a chance to gain a foothoId in
the system.
But most of us do not get enough of
either fresh air or exercise.
We live and work in poorly venti-
lated, over heated houses and offices.
We dress too warmly.
We lose the power of resistance
and the invading army of microbes
find US an easy mark.
The first unusual exposure to colds
and dampness starts the shivers.
We begin to sneeze and cough.
These are the warning symptoms.
1t is too late to prevent the cold
But we can prevent its serious ef-
feets-
What we need is plenty of fresh air
and a gentle tonic to promote healthy
circulation of the blood--and a laxa-
tive to carry off the germs after the
fresh air and the pure blood have kill
ed them.
The tonic and laxative you will find
most marvelously combined in Hills
Cascara Bromide Quinine Tablets.
Your druggist will tell you that this
old remedy is standard.
1t has been on the market for 10
years and is sold everywhere.
1t is guaranteed TO cure a cold in
twenty-four hours.
And to cure la grippe in three days
Your druggist will refund your
money if it fails.
HIS Cascara Bromide Quinine Tab
lets are positively harmless-they pro-
duce no unpleasant after effects-are
pleasant and easy to take-and always
effective.
They are made by w. H. Hill Com
pany. Detroit and are sold everywhere
at % cents a box.
Be sure to get the genuine Red top
box with Mr.. Hills portrait on it,

Statistics printed in Paris show that
the lives of wild beasts in captivity
are much shorter than those at lib
erty, especially in the case of exotic
beasts. The tiger and panther in cap
tivity do not live more than seven or
eight years, lions a little longer, hy-
ena five to six years, and the brown
bears seven to eight. although they
often reach twenty when at liberty
In captivity the white bear reaches
only four or five and the elephant,
which often attains one hundred when
at liberty, lives only 90 to 30. Gagged
monkeys, however well housed, live
only seven or eight years, and nearly
all die from tuberculosis.
