Why You Sneeze,

There is more than one cause for
sneezing, and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to
sneeze, the pollen of certain plants
will affect others, and most people
are likely to sneeze In the presence of
dust. Such sneezing Is due to super.
fetal irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect Of
cold is different. It Is an attempt of
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-to help
relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an
act Of the nose alone, this being mere.
ly the part of the body where it ex.
plodes. 1t is an act of the entire body
during which every muscle gives a
jump. The body is affected by a
spasmodic effort to warm the entire
system and throw off the cold.

ocratic national convention.
While the Texans who came to
Washington to work for Dallas in the
effort to bring the 1915 democratic
presidential convention to Texas were
disappointed, yet there is not a man
who Is not pleased with the showing
that was made and who does not real

and the great Southwest before the
East and before the eyes Of the great
political organizations of the country.
Vote for convention follows:

ton that made it unanimous for St.
Louis. The states standing for Dallas
on the final ballot were Georgia, Mary

Philippines.
A doctrine of Pan-Americanism-of
full partnership between the nations
Of the Western hemisphere in world
affairs-was proclaimed by President
Wilson Tuesday in his third annual
address to congress, the theme of
which was preparedness by the Unit
ed States to defend not only it's own
independence but the rights of those
with whom it has made common
cause. The message was read by the
president to the senate and house as
sembled in joint session in the cham
Der of the house.

Hardly Complimentary.

Doyle was breaking stones on the
roadside beneath one of the high
hills in South Kilkenny. Eating the
grass beside him was the ass that car
ried him to and from his work. The
donkey was old, and, as Doyle would
say, "as cute as himself" One day
an English tourist CHANGED to come
that way, and the ass, seeing him ap-
proach, began to bray loud and long.
The tourist, coming up to Doyle,
asked:
why does that old ass bray at see
ing me?"
Il don't know" said Doyle, "but
there is an old sayin' in the place
when friends meet hearts warm"
