Take il all the way down from the
anterior mares, vulgarly called the
front vestibule OF the proboscis, to
the most useless organ ever invented,
the appendix, by all odds the most
widespread and costly illnesses of
civilized communities are those pro-
duced by our versatile friend, the
pneumococcus, the microbe of the
catching cold"
This one ubiquitous germ easily
wins the gold medal as mans untir-
ing enemy. What the pneumococcus
causes would easily keep the doctors
busy even if there were no hay fever,
tango dancing or political parties
A cold" in the head is the least
common particle OF the household
germ; pneumonia, sore throat, quin-
sy, pleurisy, bronchitis, middle ear
abscess, meningitis, heart valve in
volvement multiple arthritis, appen-
dicitis-the repertoire is almost un-
limited
And how does old pneumococcus
manage to get about so freely3 How
can he pursue such an active life and
still retain all his pristine vigor1 In
a word, what puts the catch in catch
ing cold?
1t is the open face sneeze.
We can stand seeing bully beat
ing a defenseless creature. We can
look on with sympathy while fell
low picks his neighbor's pocket. We
can sympathize with a man who
marries too many wives or runs
away from one who is too many for
him. But there is one spectacle
which rouses our worst passions and
makes us yearn to draw req blood,
and that is the open face sneeze.

sanitary precaution beside sheezing

Promises do not spoil, like milk, how
ever They break A butterfys wing
is a tough and durable affair beside a
promise. A man who can break 100
glass balls in succession is proud of
the record, but many statesman
has broken 1000 promises the first
week in office and without any effort
either
Promises are legal tender for all kinds
of favors and goods, but they are not
guaranteed by the government, and are
very precarious security. Some men turn
out an extraordinarily high grade OF
promises which will be redeemed over
the counter without question at any
time. Other men issue promises faster
than wildcat investment company can
turn out bonds, and when the proud
holder of one of these promises at
tempts to cash it he discovers that it
is Confederate money
There are two kinds of business
which are carried on almost entirely by
promises-oye and politics. When a
man is in love he thanks kindly Provi-
dence for inventing the promise. 1t is
nothing for young man to give a
Young woman a beautiful home, priv
ate yacht a limousine, vacation in

OF old age. and unlimited torrents of
affection-al in promses-in single
evening. And it is nothing for the same
young lady, two years after mar
riage, to spend three hours trying to
trade all OF these promises for SIPS in
United States money in order to buy a
new hat and spend the balance on
enervating luxuries.
The candidate is even more talented
on putting out vast issues of very at

GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS
TO YOU WHO SMILE.

Smiling is the easiest thing in the
world to do. Also, it is one of the most
profitable things to do.
If a story of all the great things
achieved in this world through Smiles
could be gathered together, they would
make up a massive library so stupendous
and astonishing that the ordinary grum-
bier would be almost swept from his
senses.
1t certainly is pitiful to listen to the
story of a person who tells you that
Success and Prosperity and Good Things
never came around to their house But,
| will tell you something Success and
Prosperity and Good Things have to be
coaxed, and the fellow who knows how
to Smile the Real Smile, doesn't have
very much trouble in coaxing these
things.
The effect of just Smiling is almost
miraculous.
The other day, in an athletic event. at
a moment when the contestants seemed
keyed>to a nervous strain strong enough
to snap the nerve of any one Of them, |
saw one man go down to defeat elori-
ously He failed at the CRITICAL moment.
But be didn't go to pieces iCalmly-he
just Smiled.

defeat and encouragement and don't

isn't going to fail lie can't.
So, If YOU are now "up against it" or
are afraid you are going to be-just
Smile-and the chances are that the
clouds will pass on and the storm will
break somewhere else
Here Is a little sentence to paste in
your hat When YOU don't know what
else to do-just SMILEr

VIEWS OF THE PRESS
11rr TNARL

Reports from Washington are that
pressure has been renewed on the adj
ministration there to induce it to inter
vene in Mexico. This has been produced
out Of a mixture OF influence of Euro
pean diplomatsts and American interests
that are eager for United States author
ity to be- established in Mexico. The
pressure is said to have had the effect of
securing a sharp note from the state de-
partment to Carranza on the necessity
Of restoring peace and order to Mexico.
No one can object 10 such note ex.

the number of potatoes in a bushel,
make the street car company call for its
customers, and prolons the life of shoes
But later he finds that these promises
cannot be fulfilled, owing to the over
worked necessities by satisfying Bill,
Mike Steve, Hank Toni, and $40 other
citizens, each of whom holds promise
good for one public job.
People should be as careful in ac-
cepting promises as they are in taking

at ones heighbors. Sputum on the
floor may not do any harm, after all,
but sputum laden with the pneu-
mococcus, floating through the air,
is certainly dangerous thing. And
let us repeat for the steenth time
that one in every five individuals,
sick or WELL habitually harbors viru
lent pneumococci in his mouth or
nose. Hence the chance OF acquiring
some form of indoor plague when
exposed to the open face sneeze is
at least a 20 per cent risk.
A law emitting the innocent by
stander to hand the offender wal
lop in the face where it will do the
most good, ought to be passed 1t
would be long-lived reminder that
the rights of the community deserve
some consideration. We don't be-
lieve in capital punishment, but just
the same the open face sneezer is
none too good to hang, when you
consider all the physical, mental,
moral, financial and spiritual wreck

ITALY's SUCCESSES
 DEMORALIZE AUSTRIA

ROME, June 23.-With the Aus trian cities of Monfalcone, Gradisca, and Bovereto, as well as 100 villages, in Italian possession, and the Italian drives against Trent and Trieste, proceeding successfully, the Austrian troops are becoming demoralized by continuous defeats, the war office de- clares, saying:
 Documents found on Austrian of ficers captured show the Austrian commanders are much perturbed by the grave fact that developments at the front have prejudiced discipline of their troops. To stop assertions, the Austrian officers have made spec. ial rules more strict than ever known and showing the unheard of police methods to which they were compell- ed to resort to to keep their armies intact.
 "For instance, deserters will not on. ly be punished as criminals but as traitors as well. If found guilty all the property may be confiscated and all their citizenship rights taken from them.
 "The Austrian general staff has al- so provided severe penalties for sol diers who attempt to surrender or for those who try to eyade military duties by malignering"
