What Causes Colds ?
Some of the Usual Reasons

Cold in the head, cold in the chest,
cold in the throat, or cold that set
ties in your back is all one and the
same thing. Cold is congestion,
often resulting from lowered vitality.
Drafts, getting chilled, and being ex-
posed to the weather will not give you
cold if your organs are active and
healthy. But when your stomach is
clogged with food, your liver slug
gish, the bowels obstructed, or the
circulation poor, then you take cold
easily because the system is con-
gested. To be free from colds, keep
the stomach, liver. bowels and blood
in good order with 81. F." Atwood's

wards off colds when taken promptly,
and protects against such attacks

CHILE NITRATE
remains Low
IN PRICE ].

For the u months ended May 81 the
production Of Chilean saltpeter was
81 per cent greater than for the cor
responding period Of the preceding
nitrate year, according to v. L. Hav-
ems, commercial attacne at Santiago.
No one knbws what the effect of
peace is going to be on the nitrate in.
dustry, and it, would Seem reasonable
that when thesuse of explosives ceas-
es there will be immediate stoppage
in orders for nitrate. The farmers
are on the battle field, and although
they might be returned to their homes
in time to use nitrate nitrate being
used in the months of March, April
and May for fertilizerl. on the other
hand peace may be declared later
than April and the nitrate industry
would receive very serious blow. as
the use of the material for explosives
would cease and there would be no
agricultural demand for that particu-
lar year. Peace in November or De-
eember would mean the immediate
placing Of orders for nitrate for ferti.
lizer, and the market might not be
seriously affected except temporarily.
One of the surprising features Of
the nitrate industry has been that in
spite of the great demand and the
high prices obtained abroad, the price
Of nitrate in Chile has not risen much
above the normal figure of previous
years. This is undoubtedly due to the
fact that when the sudden stoppage
Of shipments occurred and many men
were thrown out OF employment In
the nitrate fields, thereby making it
impossible for them ito buy the agri.
cultural products of the South. the
government advanced large sums OF
money to the producers solely for the
purpose of keeping their plants run.
ming They Of course, piled up ar
enormous supply, VIII ch, coupled with
general resumption of work, meant
that there was always more nitrate
available than ships to carry it. The
difference between the price received
for nitrate in Chile and that paid by
purchasers in foreign countries has
been absorbed in ocean freight rates.
