ca The single term plank In the
Baltimore platform has been In
jscted into the Democratic situa-

has not definitely announced that he
would insist on this single term
pledge. his friends are convinced
that this Is his intention. and 1t is
an obvious sequel TO the steps he
has already taken.
Whether Bryan will become the
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation Is a question still In doubt.
There are those who believe that he
will. Should ha do so, however,
there is small prospect that the re-
suit will be anything more than the
wedge of . factional fight in the
Democratic party with the Wilson
forces In eventual control. Bryan
has q following and always will
have. There are many thousands

Chautauqua audiences who will 60

become proportionateiy smaller. That

AN EARLDOM FOR BOTHA

Great Britain has offered earldom to
General Botha, prime minister Of the South
African Union. commander-in-chief Of its forces.
and to whom belongs the whole credit. not only
for the suppression Of the recent South African
rebellion. but also for the conquest OF Ger
many's great West African colony. But judg.

and content himself with the glory to be found
In the giving of his name to German West

of African territory which. now known az

Comparatively few colds lead to
consumption. but as every cold
weakens the system and makes the
person more liable to other diseases.
and particularly to consumption.
every cold should be closely watch

Draughts, over-heated, unventilat-

senseless exposure are the chief
causes of colds. Care for these
things greatly reduces the danger
OF colds.
The man who sits In q draught,
for instance, and exposes one part
Of his body in this way. may ex-
pect q cold. On the other hand. the
man who IL so much afraid Of
