GUARD AGAINST CONTAGIOUS
COLDS.

The season for colds, coughs, pneu
monia and La Grippe viii soon be
upon us, and it is weH that the pub
lie should remember that while it is
true that getting the feet wet, chill
ing the body by sitting in cold
draft, or ding anything else that
lowers the general health renders us
more easy victims of colds, yet these
alone are not responsible Tor all the
colds and La Grippe attacks.
More than one hundred years ago
Benjamin Franklin called attention
to the fact that colds were frequently
contracted by one person coming in
contact with another suffering with
cold. He said: II have long been
satisfied from observation that peo-
pie often catch cold one from another
when shut up in close rooms, coaches
and when sitting near together in
conversation so as to breathe in the
Others transpirations."
Colds are not well understood but
they are certainly caused by germs
that are transferred from one per-
son to another. In no other way can
we explain the fact that they run in
epidemics. During cold. and in
deed at all times. there are great
number Of germs growing in the air

having all governmental departments
use string and ribbon and wrapping

cotton twine were received by Mr..
Murray yesterday from New York

cheaper and Of more strength than is

But while the bubble was in the pro-
cess of growing the Chicago Cubs
got as much publicity out of it as
they ever did in the noisy days of
Charles Webb Murphy. Here's the
yarn:
Someone spread the report that
Hetty Green was to buy the Cubs.
Sporting writer's were tickled silly. 1t
gave them one of the mighty few
chances they've had of late to break
into print on the first pages.
And then Col. Edward Green, Mrs.
Hetty Green's son, fatty denied the
story.

Col Green, 'and wouldn't think of
buying the Chicago baseball club"

this think there was a slight empha-

STILL AFTER DOPE TRAFFIC
Asst Corporation Counsel George
L. Reker and Major FunkhoUser are
again going after the dope fiends. As
sisted by doc" Williams and Detec-
tiVe-Sergeant Thomas Kehoe they
will investigate the report that the
dope traffic is again f1ourishing in
Chicago, particularly on the South
Side.
On the South Side it is claimed
that a syndicate of negroes are sup
plying cocaine and other drugs to pa
irons of private flats in the high-rent
districts on the bOUlevaTds.
In the arrest of Gene" Huston, a
giant negro and one of the alleged
leaders, the police believe they have
made an important catch.
Huston is widely known on the
South Side, where he kept two
places, one at oath and State streets
and the other at 25th and LaSaIIe SITS.

BASED ON THE sun SPOTS
Japanese Earthquake Occurred on
Date Predicted.

Santa Clara, Cal. Jan. 16.-"The
spots on the sun not only forecasted
the seismic disturbances in Japan,
but also indicate that tornadoes and
cyclones will visit the middle west
ern part of the United States during
the last ten days in January. | pre-
dict that they will be very violent" "
Father Rickard, observer and as
tronomist of Santa Clara university,
who on Dec. 81 last predicted the ex-
act date of the volcanic eruption in
Japan, made this statement in dis
cussing the forecast.
MY forecasts of the earthquake
was based on close observation of the
positions and movements of sun spots,
do not know yet what is the connec-
ton between sun spots and terrestrial
disturbances, but | know the connec
ton exists. Future observations per
haps will reveal the reason" said
Father Rickard.
"The Japanese earthquake occurred
on the exact date indicated by oul
calculations made before the end ot
the old year. The same observations
indicated the imminency of violent
storms in America late this month.

GREAT FLOOD OF
WATER Is FREED
Immense Dam at DObbin,

THOUSANDS FLEE TO HILLS
Great Anxiety Is Felt for Safety Of
Residents of the Valley, but So Far
No Loss of Life Has Been Reported.

Piedmont, w Va, Jan 16.-A wall
of water fifteen feet high is sweeping
down the north branch of the Potomac
river, following the bursting Of the
dam of the West Virginia Pulp and
Paper company at Dobbin, w. Va.
According to reports received here
inhabitants of the valley are fleeing
to the hills and the greatest anxiety
is felt for the safety of the entire dis
trct No loss of life has been re-
ported.
An operator employed by the West
ern Maryland railroad at Schell, w.
Va, fifteen miles below the dam site,
fees at Cumberland Md, stating that
the water was at least twenty feet
high and was carrying everything be-
fore it.
"Pm going to duck Goodby."
The dam was first noticed to be
cracked by a watchman and later q
large portion of the structure gave
way.
Afterwards a second and larger
break occurred Notwithstanding eff
forts by employees to release the i'm
| mense volume of water through the
sluice ways. The second break made
| big gaps on both sides of the dam.
The Western Maryland railroad

threatened with destruction. Great
alarm prevails and every preparation

SEVENTEEN MEN
RESCUED AT SEA
BattIed Against Death for
Twenty-tour Hours.

Boston, Jan. 16.-The laundering OF
the Bath schooner, Grace A. Martin,
and the rescue of her crew of seven
teen men from an open boat 100 miles
off shore by the steamer A. w. Perry,
Halifax for Boston, was reported by
wireless.
For nearly twenty-four hours the
Martins crew, in an open boat nearly
one hundred miles off shore, battled
against death under the bitterest of
weather conditions.
The distance from the spot where
the schooner foundered to the steam
er route between Boston and Halifax
is fifty miles, which represents the
drift of the Martins long boat before
the castaways were picked up by the
Perry.
The Martin, heavily laden with coal,
sailed from Norfolk for Portland on
Jan. 4. She was caught in the wester-
l. gale off Cape Cod on Monday.
Two days of hard pounding opened
up her seams and she filled and sank,
The crew had sufficient warning to
take some food and heavy clothing
before launching the long boat.

already in the train had to get out
and run for their lives.
They fled northward and some of
them perished in the forests when
the trees were set atire by the hot
rocks.
Wireless reports say the volcano is
still in eruption and several new
craters have appeared.
Many refugees from Kagoshima
have returned. All their houses are
in ruins and they are compelled to
camp. The warships brought a large
stock of food and supplies.
The property loss in this city is
immense. The clearing away OF
ashes and debris has not gone far
enough to allow even an approximate
estimate of the loss of human life

DOZEN OF THE CREW
REMAIN ON BOARD
Others Taken OH the Stranded
Liner CObequid.

Yarmouth, n. s., Jan. 16.-The
twenty-four passengers and seventy
two members of the crew OF the Roy
al Mail steamer Cobequid rescued
from that vessel are comfortably
housed here Captain Hawson and
the remaining eleven seamen are
still on board the wrecked vessel.
The Cobequid was badly smashed
and coated with ice, but the officers
quarters remained intact.
Captain McKinnon of the Westport,
the little coastal steamer which res
cued seventy-two persons, said that
when he came alongside the Cobe-
quid he found all the passengers and
crew in the captains cabin, the only
dry spot on the steamer. The seas
were breaking over the main deck.
The Cobequid was lying headed TO
the westward, with the bow down
and the stern we'll out of water.
All of those taken on board the
Westport left the Cobequid in the
three boats launched by the crew of
the wrecked vessel Notwithstanding
the gale and the heavy sea the trans
fer was accomplished within two
hours without accident. The nine
women and children among the pas
sengers were the first to be rescued.
1t was a day and night of terror on
| the steamer Lifebelts had been
served out to all on board and when
| the seas began to break over the ship
all hands were ordered below, where
| they huddled in the cabins. 1t was
| feared that the hull would part Day
| light and the knowledge that their
appeal for help had been heard gave
renewed hope, but the position of the
ship grew more dangerous hourly.

Many of the 10000 fled to places of

been made TO estimate the casualties.
The first refugee reaching here
from Kagoshima said that hundreds
of Sakurashima folk drowned in fran

More than $50 earthquakes were
felt, the refugees said, before the
eruption started.
Many hundreds of women and

BY this lurid glare the refugees say
the people of Kagoshima could see
the islanders, trapped like rats, rush

have been securing the seas for weeks
for the Germans.
Russia's forces, it is reported unof-
fcially to-day, have at last reachS
Cracow, the Austrian fortress in North
western Galicia near the boundaries OF
Russia and Germany. An Italian cor
respondent at the front states that Cra-
COW is now being bombarded by heavy
Russian siege guns and that one of the
suburbs is in flames. The capture of this
fortress has been one of the main OBJ
jectives of Russia's campaign against
Austria, on the theory that its fall, TO-
gether with that of Przemysl now under
siege, would mean Russian ascsndancy
in that part of Austria which lies to
the north of the Carpathian mountains.
Other than this report, there was lit
tie new information concerning the sit
uation in the east. The main question,
in the opinion of London, was whether
the German army which struck at the
Russian center would be able to extri-
cate itself and fall back to the border
without a disaster. The Russian army
operating from Lodz is striking heavy
blow at the main German force, but it
Is probably that some time must elapse
before this phase of the campaign in
the east is brought to a close.
Opinions differ sharply as to the in
tentions of Germany concerning opera
tions in the west. It is reported that
Germany is about to embark on a new
offensive movement; that the allies are
about to assume the offensive, that the
German line has been weakened and
that new German army is being rush
ed into Flanders. In view of these con-
ficting statements it is impossible to
discern even the probabilities of the
near future. Fighting at present ap-
parently is confined to operations in the
Argonne.
Russia's campaign against Turkey
likewise has reached a period of in
activity. The latest report from the
Russian army of the Caucasus is to the
effect that no movements of Importance
are under way.
