How to Prevent Colds

ioAh ZIG w OIlu 3 WOFk.
In the way of practical advice on
how to prevent colds. DIR. Eugene Z.
Fisk of the Life Extension institut.
in New York city, suggests that one
of the best methods for preventing
colds is to breathe as much fresh air
as possible; a draft, he holds, is not
to be feared unless it is strong enough
to be chilling. 1t is as silly to weaken
your resistance by coddling as it is to
be over-Spartan. The skin. can he
trained to help resist germ infection.
and one of the worst ways to train it
is to work and live. and sleep in over
heated rooms. The same sort OF rules
applies to clothing. Adapt your cloth
ing to the condition of your health
and to the conditions of the weather.
One man can wear light underclothing
all the year round: for another whose
physique is not so hardy or who has
chronic heart or kidney trouble, such
a course is folly. 1t is as harmful TO
expose yourself too much as it is TO
weaken your resistance by bundling
up. Baths? One man can take cold
baths and be no worse for them; an
other of more delicate constitution
will suffer nervous shocks from the
same temperatures. Try out your skin
and find out its reaction point. OF
course, you VIII DO Wen 10 avoid con-
stipation, overeating. and extreme ia
tigue, for these all aggravate colds and
invite Them The man who is subject to
colds should be sparfng in his use of
tobacco and should know that he
weakens his resisting powers If he
drinks alcohol In many an instance
where death is attributed to severe
cold or to pneumonia, the real cause
was that the patients system was so
weakened by drink that 1t had no re-
sistance to Offer 70 germ attack.

What We Find In Clay County
~ MRS. ). B. REID.

Since then, however, the town has grown.
and it's growth is evidenced by the sight
of SO many new homes of the bunga-
low style. A splendid courthouse is built
in the center of the business section, &C.
cupying a block, with the business houses
enclosing it on all sides. This is the
old-time habit of founding town, and
really with handsome structure as a
centerpiece the landlords are inspired to
improve adjoining property. The Hotel
Huckaba is being enlarged to accommo-
date transient trade. l learn the inhabt-
ants of the county number approximately
10000; the majority are farmers, and that
cotton is factor in business. The boil
weevil is recent invader, and as is the
case elsewhere is disastrous guest. and
this fall the crop was so per cent short.
Within the last year there has been more
attention paid to stock raising and the
diversfication of crops, while there are
many raising mules and horses, the au-
tomobile is much in evidence.
Farm clubs are being organized for the
purpose of marketing in carload lots, now
much of this produce is sold in other
states. The old method has been to sell
to local merchant, and then a shipment
to broker and the consumer buys, after
rscsts have been made, from the
local retailer. Hogs are sold in carload
lots on foot, either Berkshire. Poland

Ashland, November n.-(Special)-The
county fairs are creating much industrial
interest in many counties in Alabama.
This week, beginning November s, Clay
county is holding one at Ashland.
The business men of the county have
purchased a tract of land near the town,
have erected buildings during the last
few months and are holding four days
fair. The '.jitney business" is flourish
ing. as this is the exclusive means of
transportation. There is always much
to be learned on an occasion of this
kind. especially if one is in the business,
and really understands the purposes. No
matter how small a fair, it requires work,
and the work must be done in a limited
time. Thus the people of Clay county
are very busy collecting their worldly
goods to exhibit with the view of ad-
yertising their resources. The beginning
of such an enterprise does not always
include a full exhibit, but the work dis
played is of good quality. and the COM
munity spirit is an asset to any country.
Ashland is town of about 5000 people
1t has always been the county site, but
until the railroad put it in communities
ton with the outside world, five years
ago. it ives content with its small circle.

tance along the lines and there is abb
solutely no way to get over in uniform

The other picture shows a part Of
Aqua Prieta which is the Mexican town
opposite Douglas. 1t is a squalid village
of probably 5000 inhabitants. There are
no houses with more than a few rooms
and no buildings more than two stories.
However, this town is the gateway to
the Mexican state of Sonora. and a
strategic point. This accounts for the
contention of the different Mexican fac
tons over this place.
