HOW TO CATCH
 AND CURE COLDS0
State Board of Health, in Monthly Bulletin, Sheds
 Some Light.

Hartford, Oct 15.-Common colds, how to catch them and how to avoid them is the text Of the health sermon cite contained in the monthly bulletin of the state board of health issued to- day. 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-organ1sm which will cause them. The best place to catch cold is not out of doors but in close, fll-ventilated rooms, cars, theatres or churches. Getting the feel wet or chilling the body does not more than lower the general health, making them more easy victims. 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 proving an ideal place for the multiplication and trans mission Of the influenza and other germs. These; too, in cold weather we take out of doors which results in. low err bodily VigoE and less resistance therefore we are more susceptible. People who live out of doors summer
 
 their : houses suffer little more from colds dn winter than they do in sum Iner. One seldom takes cold from nor mal exercise 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.
 'eWhat then Is the remdy3 We can
 not destroy all the countless germs or l quarantine everyone who has a. cold This is not necessary. If we keep our
 selves in vigorous health, clean, and
 warmly, but not to heavily clad, we
 candefy germs. We may of course. take cold occasionally, but we will
 throw it off quickly. Learn to live and sleep as much as possible in the open gair. Fifty years ago it was the popular belief that g. person with con | sumption should not be exposed to cold air, now we know that cold, fresh air is the only cure and foul air it's cause What will cure consumption
 will not harm 8. healthy man, Bath | ing and exercise increase bodily vfgor l 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 excel lent condition that it will resist the invasion of germs and we should
 avoid infection as far as possible" By mortality reports received there
 were 1, ,494 deaths during the month of September. This was 10S less than in
 August and "A more than in September l last year, 14S more than the average number of deaths during September 1 for the five years preceding.
 The death rate as expressed at an
 annual rate per one thousand esti- mated was 14.6 for the large towns, for the small towns 1241a for the whole 1 state 14.0.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1807-John Gully defeated Bob Greg son in 36 rounds at Newmarket, Eng A London reporter wrote this descrip- ton of the finish: ssThe two bleeding warriors rolled about the ring like a couple of drunken men, unable to reach one another or put in a blow, the rounds finishing by them both rolling down together. Still Gully was thought to have the best of it, and, finally. midst the widest excitement, in the Seth round brought the contest to an end by 8 blow on the throat which sent Gregson to the ground senseless. Poor Bob lay where he had fallen, and 1t was some minutes before he recov- cred consciousness. Gully had just enough strength left to jump in the air with joy at the welcome sound of victory ,and then collapsed Gully and Gregson fought again the follow ing year, and Gully won clear vic- tory, becoming champion of England.

WALTER CAMPS RESIGNATION
 IMPORTANT IN YALE, ANNALS
Annual Meeting Of Eastern Associa= ton In New London Next
 Monday
(By Waen~.)

The resignation of Walter Camp as treasurer of the Yale Financial Union. which was recently announced, is an important step in, the history of. Yale athletics. He has for some time been desirous of being relieved of routine duties as his time is almost completely taken with affairs of the New Haven Clock Ce.
 He was the founder and the only treasurer of th1s union. In the early days each sport had a separate or ganization but this caused great con- fusion because some sports showed annual deficits while others were profitable. Camp brought all sports under one head and his business saga city made athletics financial success. In spite of vast outlays for improve ments there is 8 surplus of $125, 900 in the treasury at present. Henry Hobson, who was president of the Yale navy last year, has been chosen to suc- ceed Camp temporarily.
 The annual meeting of the Eastern association will be held in New Lon don next Monday at which time the pennant will be formally awarded to the Planters and plans for. next season discussed. President O'Rourke will the New Haven owner.
 Walter TrumbulI of Salem, Mass, has been appointed temporary captain of the Harvard football team during the absence of Capt. Brickley, who is recovering from an appendicitis opera ton.
