MANY COLDS QUE TO BATH
Not Always Easy to Account For, but
That Is One Of the Most Conn
mon Causes of Annoyance.

One of the peculiarly aggravating
that it's origin is SO difficult to trace.
1t may have been caught while stand
| ing before an open window, or riding
on street car without sufficient wraps,
or finding a concert hall or church
drafty, but in the majority of in
stances the question must be left I'M
answered. This is especially annoy
! ing to the thoughtful person, for it
handicaps the prevention of similar
exposure: we cannot guard ourselves
unless we know against what We need
to guard,
One of the most prolific causes of
catching cold, however, is often over
looked This is a bath. First Of all,
few people seem to bear in mind that
rubbing with a towel after a bath is
not mainly for the purpose of drying
oneself That needs to be done, of
course, but if we take bath and
then merely dry ourselves with the
towel, we are deliberately inviting a
cold
If the skin be merely dried, much
moisture will remain. This will evap-
crate quickly. Evaporation, as is well
known, is perhaps the speediest meth
cd of producing cold that exists. 1t
cools the skin too quickly, and Sc
we're cold is often the result.
The action of cold water, moreover,
holds the blood back from the skin,
leaving it without this warming pro-
lection.
The toweling after a bath should
be vigorous and prompt. The fric-
ton should be so energetic that the
skin becomes redeemed, for the red
dening shows the return of the blood
to the surface. This will prevent many
colds to which people are subject.
Another reason why we catch cold
in bath is due to the shape Of mod
ern bath tubs. In many instances, in
order to cover the whole body, the
neck and shoulders are lowered into
the water, so that-especially among
men-the lower part of the head is
wet, enough to saturate a couple or
inches of hair above the neck.

PULLING DOWN OLD WALL
"HoIy City" of Jerusalem Growing So
Rapidly as to Necessitate De-
stroying Landmark.

Jerusalem.-The ancient city OF
Jerusalem, the 'Holy City" is grow
ing so rapidly that already there is
larger population without its walled
center than within. This influx of
population in recent years has caused
great scarcity of water, and 1t was
determined to equip the city, not only
with modern waterworks system,
but likewise to install an electric
lighting and power plant and build a
street car system which will give
rapid transit between the residence
section and the business center and
also connect with Bethlehem from
Jaffa gate. These improvements are
already under way, and the old walls
of Jerusalem, which have circum-
ference of nearly three miles, rising
in places to a height of almost forty
feet, are now being offered by the
government for sale as building ma
terial Certain historic towers and a
few isolated sections of the old walls

Nuisances Defined.

To prove that public nuisance has
been committed is one of the most diff
ficult things in modern legal practice.
It is therefore gratifying to note that a
plaintiff who set up the plea that a
nuisance is perpetrated in causing
noise by banging milk cans, unloading
trucks containing the empty cans, dis
charging ice through chute into
building from the sidewalk, emitting
steam through windows and doors to
the sidewalk, and allowing drivers of
teams to shout loudly in the night has
won his ease before Chief Justice Rus

ment has taken note of this case in

slipped her arm through his. Then
both became aware that throng OF

MAKING ATONEN EN7

The Rev. Jed Williams sat in his

FAMOUS BELL STOPS TOLLING
to Brave Little Nation
of Belgium.

A night or two before the German
invasion called the whole of Belgium
to arms the biggest of the Client bel
fry bells, named Roelandt, after the
architect who built the town hall, was
tolling as usual when it was suddenly
reduced to dumbness and was found to
have sustained a crack about twenty
two inches long and one-third of an
inch wide. 1t is supposed that through
the excessive heat the metal had eX-
banded and become unequal to the
violent beating Of the new hammers
used since the restoration Of the bel
fry two years ago.
The bell is one of the most cele-
brated in Belgium, and the belfry in
which it is hung is only equaled in
celebrity by that of Bruges, whose
fame was sung by Longfellow. The
belfry of Client is 375 feet in height
to the top Of the spire, and contains
A bells. The one which is now, un-
fortunately, cracked was originally
made in &314, but was recast in 1859.
1t bore in Flemish the inscription: my
name is Roelandt; when / toll then
there is a fire; when ] peal there is a
victory in Flanders"
In 1889 the Austrians fired at the
belfry to prevent the citizens ringing
the alarm. The cannon ball hit one
of the bells and made hole in it, but
the tone is said to have remained un-
injured.

BIRDS EAT 5000 FISH A DAY
Studies of Destruction Of Finny Tribes
In Utah Waters Have Been
Completed.

Salt Lake.-Studies of the destruc-
ton of fish in Utah waters by fish-eat-
ing birds, not including gulls, which
have just been completed by Fred w.
Chambers, state fish and game COM
missioner, tend to indicate that they
consume or otherwise destroy $4,000
fish a day, or 21,900,000 fish a year.
AS a general rule, Mr.. Chambers says,
these Misunderstanding birds are of no
value for food purposes, are not IN
sectivorous and perform little service
as scavengers, as in the case of gulls.
ut may be said that the birds / re-
fer to are of little value, with the ex-
ceDtion of the snowy heron and the
black avocet snipe, which are relished
by some," says Mr.. Chambers. In
roads which birds make on our we'll
stocked streams presents a problem
which / consider of Importance, and
my personal belief is that something
should be done to eliminate them.
Some are Of the belief that gulls
destroy fish, but this is not true; they
are scavengers and are of great value.
Snowy herons and black snipe eat
fish, but in that they may be eaten
as food they should not be considered
with other birds, which, to my mind,
should be eliminated. Blue herons,
cranes and similar birds are among
those which are chiefly responsible
for the destruction of fish, and the
more numerous the fish the greater
will be the development.
"The subject is a delicate one in
a way continued Mr.. Chambers, "be-
cause lovers of birds love them gen.
orally and place little consideration in
the theory of their actual worth cou-
pied with their destructiveness."

is anticipated that in ten years from
now the population of Athens, which
is 100000, will be at least half a mil
lion. No vandalism, we are assured,
will be involved in this scheme. The
various temples of ancient Greece
which make Athens so attractive to
the visitor will be more easily acces-
sible.
Very delightful are these temples
and very inspiring. First in order is
the Theseion, the best-preserved edi-
flee of the whole of the ancient Greece
world. The temple has been assigned
to Theseus, to Hercules, and to other
gods. 1t was probably completed by
421 B. G. In the middle ages 1t was
converted into a church and dedi.
Gated to st. George. In the theater

of Hadrian, and they once contained
statue of that monarch. In 1850 a
Turkish viceroy took one of the col
umns for a mosque he was building.
The Diplyon formed the principal en-
trance Of classic Athens, and one
drives past it on the way to Eleusis.
Here we see the ruins of the ancient
wall, and, close by is the burial ground,
the principal cemetery of ancient Ath-
ems, it being the custom to bury the
dead Immediately outside the town
gates. On one of the tombstones we
see bull, and there are many quaint
fragments of ancient tombs. Some
chambers cut in the rock are de-
scribed by a medieval tradition as
the prison of Socrates. The Stadion
has been entirely restored. 1t was
originally erected $50 3. G. 1t is in
teresting but had much better have
been left in ruins and a new Stadion
erected elsewhere. We note also the
ruins of Eleusis. They are merely a
drive from Athens and form one of
the best excursions in it's immediate
neighborhood. To write adequately
of these wonderful ruins, the home of
the "Eleusinian Mysteries" would
take many columns.
