A Note Of Thanks

The Hospital Organization
wishes to thank those who sent
donations on the oath of Novem-
Der which was Donation Day for
the hospital.
The Organization hopes the
giving of donations once a year
will become an established Gus
tom and will he participated in
by more of the stores as well as
the individuals. This gives an
opportunity for those who do
not contribute in anyway toward
the maintenanceS to give some
thing no matter how small.
The hoSptal has been the
means of saving many lives since
it has been established and help
ing to keep it here is the best
life insurance we can take out.

ON "KETCHIN' COLD"
Essential Facts About Avoiding the
Most Common Infection

We've all got bad colds at our
house is the common express
sion. The reason for the
we We all and at our house"
is because colds are infectious.
1t is generally conceded that
colds are of bacteria origin but
we don t know enough about cold
bacteria as yet to make
a serum treatment for colds or
enough to make a very satisfac-
tory vaccine to prevent them.
We do know, however. certain
other definite facts Of consider
able practical value in preventing
colds. Here are the essentials.
Colds freHentIy result whore
there is a delormed or diseased
nose or t9usjIs on where there
are adenoids. Frequently the
bacteria get a better or easier hold
there than in the case of people
with good noses and throats.
Living and sleeping in the fresh
air Increases ones resistance
against colds. Taking a cold
sponge bath about the neck, arm
and shoulders each morning also
helps immensely, Constipation
is very frequently an indirect
cause of colds and should be
strenuously guarded against.
Over eating, over heating, es-
pecially dry steam or stove heat
in winter, and under exercising
are potent causes Of colds.
Last of ALL one should avoid
close association with other peo-
pie having colds, coughs, or
grippe, or those who cough or
sneeze without holding a hand
kerchief before their face. Keep
a good bunch of fresh air be
tween yourself and the cold
victim and you viii be much
safer.

a mummy, nose badly bent, anc
one of the blackeSt eyes in hist
ory. Mr.. Garris testified that he
had hit defendant with his fist
and nothing more. After view
ing the ruins Of MoseIy, Record
er House decided that Mr.. Gar
ris must have used a weapon,
probably a gat.ing gun. and
bound Garris over to the March
Term of the Superior Court un-
der one hundred dollar bond.
This bond was remitted after the
statement of DR.. i'atchin that he
did not think a weapon had been
used, the damage being done
principally by purely muscular
effort and a large solitary" ring
on defendants hand, and Garris
was fined ten dollars and costs
for his enthusiasm and released
from custody.
Evidence brought out at this
trial tended to show that Mr.. +.
H. Butlsr, atwhos re i e1ce the

tiourishing little blind tiger cstab-
Iishment, and a bench warrant
was sworn out against Batter,
bond fixed at twenty five dollars,

GERMAN;
AMERICANS

During the past few months some
people in this country have express
sed anxiety concerning the course
certain hyphenated Americans viii
take should trouble occur between
the United States and European ma
lions. They thoughtlessly supposed
that these foreign-born subjects. al
though now citizens of the United
States and enjoying the protection
of the Stars and Stripes, will espouse
the cause Of their native lands. Rep
resentativc German-Americans do not
seem to be animated by any SUCH
spirit, as was shown at the conven-
ton of the German-American Ali,
ance in Rochester, N. Y, yesterday
when they went on record as ready
to stand by President Wilson IN any
course he may take.
The Staatz-Zcitung of New York,
in an article signed by Herman Kid
;ler, says:
..Gcrmans have fought to uphold
the flag in the past and they vii! do
it again. against any enemy whatso-
ever. They deserve the fruits OF past
LOYALTY until they have forfeited the
right to claim them. There mas nev'
cr been but one flag under which the
German-Amcricans has fought. There
,cver can be but one flag under which
he will ever fight. And that nag is!
