ported as having said that the bes
way to cure a cold was ito take q
hottie of cough medicine, set it on a
table in the patients room, open al
the windows, and throw the bottl
through one of them" In othe
words, instead of taking patent cough
and cold remedies, breathe plenty o.
fresh air.
And without doubt there is much
wisdom in this advice. AS soon
cold weather sets in people shut their
doors and windows tight and live
cooped up In stuffy rooms. The con
sequences are that the entire winter
is one long siege of colds and other
catarrhal affections Less medicine
and more fresh air and outdoor ex-
ercise would prevent a great deal of
the suffering and inconvenience from
these bad-air maladies.

WHO S MAKING THE SAVING?

While considering whether saving
to the taxpayers of the state is being
made 1t might be well to look into
the management of the several Offices
and see where the saving really comes
IN. While the Official mouthpiece OF
Governor Alexander is striving to
make it appear he is entitled to the
credit, it is a well known fact thai
his department cannot be counted IL
the list of those which are being ruA
on more economical basis. Then Ii
there is a saving who is responsible
for it and who should receive the
credit?
AS an example in point let us take
the office Of state treasurer. John
Eagleson Is not responsible to the
governor or to any other Office holuer
in the state for the conduct of his Of
fee, and If there is any saving to the
people In his management Of the state
treasury the credit is due him and nc
to Governor Alexander or his stat
paid political writer. Mr.. Eagleson
has been treasurer little more than
nine months, and (omitting the $1,000
spent by the land board in uscies-
checking of the land department Sc
curities, which amount was paid out
of the land office funds), in that tins
has saved in the actual expense CT
running the treasury the sum OF
s788.7O. He reduced the expense Of
maintenance Of the capitol building
and grounds from SIT 7,696.52 onder a
corresponding period of Aliens re
CINE to $l6,412.82 This is saving of
11,283.70, or almost 40 Per cent III
nine months.
In addition Mr.. Eagleson has made
savings in the exchange on bonds ant
interest coupons; interest on war
ants which previously had been al
lowed to run and draw unnecessary
interest, and on state highway bonds
until the grand total of his saving
to the state amounts to practically
$25, 900 in less than one year OF his
administration. He has also inst
tuted thorough check between his
department and that of the state
auditor; gets a receipt from the au1i'
tors Office for daily report made to
that official on the condition Of the
treasury, and by so doing gets daily
Balance with the auditor and less rs
he possibility of errors
These things are nothing more than
John Eagleson should do He took an
oath to serve the people faithfully
and well, and is simply doing his rlaiL
7uty, but the roint we are making $
rat neither Alexander nor Broxon
lara rad onything to Go with IN

NEW YORK. Dec. T.-Action OF the

conduct OF gridiron affairs means
thorough overhauling and revision of the
present system at New Haven. Before a
coach IL named underlying conditions will
be considered to the end that when an
Instructor Is named he will have some
thing more substantial TO work on than
coaches have had in the last few years
Vance Mccormick, Brinckerhoff, Thorne
and John Fitzpatrick are all men alive
to the larger good of Yale. and one may
be sure that after they have completed
their work and made their report the
Athletic association win have little to
do but act upon IT, 1t Is not the under
standing that this committee will recon-
mend a head coach. although IL they do
they will be acting within their consti-
tuted rights.
There is nothing to be gained by con-
cealing the fact that the great body OF
Yale foot ball alumni at the present time
ere not a unit on any definite PROPOSE
tion concerning tho future coaching OF
the eleven. There Is. for instance, a
powerful and growing Foster Sanford
faction; faction who sympathize with
Frank Hinkey, believing he had no fair
chance this year. and who are likely to
be swayed by Hinkey's attitude; there
are those who demand the calling of Tad
Jones; those who favor Al Sharpe. and
those who would like to see Walter
Camp assume the reins of control II
may not be sad who Prof Robert n.
Corwin. head OF Yale's athletic commit
tee. favors; probably he favors no par
ticular man at the present time. Prof
Corwin Is the most alluring figure that
has appeared on the New Haven horizon
for many years, The captain OF a pow
erfnl Yale eleven in the late sos, he
combines with his knowledge OF foot
bali a sense OF perspective. a mental and
moral breadth. and a calm. judicial.
scrutinizing mind which are ideal. as
well as vitality essential. qualities for the
skipper OF the Yale athletic craft to pos
sess In these tumuituous times. He Is
identified with no faction. and minds the
pulling OF his coat tails In various direo-
lions as little as may be. Nor Is he en-
listed In behalf OF any man. He Is for
Yale first and last and not the least
part OF the duty Of this powerful man
for he is exceedingly powerful at Yale
Is the difficult task OF drawing together
various groups which are far apart. II
the new Yale committee cannot find q
man who meets this unusual demand. Il
