Last week the MINER announc-
ed that it was possible that a raise
in the pay of the employees of the
Steel Corporation would be made
about Feb. 1st and that the in
crease would amount to about 10
per cent all around.
In conversation with Superin-
tendent Chas. Trezona yesterday

present time he was not at liberty
to say just what the increase
would be. He assured US however
that the raise would be general
and affect all the employees.
This is the kind of news the
MINER likes to hear and publish.
With about 14OO men employed at
present and the prospects of like
number. or more, being employed
all winter, the wage increase will
mean a whole lot to the city and
its people.

THE COMMON COLD
Oshkosh Northwestern

Too many persons make the
mistake of Understanding the
danger which turks back of So
called common cold" Yet
physicians are repeatedly calling
attention to the possible serious
ness of a neglected cold and warm
ing people against carelessness and
negligence when such ailments
are grouped under the generic
name of the grip, others belong to
the it's family - tonsilitis.
bronchitis, laryngitis and so forth
and then there is the one insidi-
Gus and deadly foe, pneumonia,
to say nothing of old tuberculosis,
which always is prowling around
and awaiting an opportunity
to pick his victims from the men,
bers of the human family over
looked or passed by the others.
To shun and, if possible, escape
all these enemies of health keeps
careful person ever at work on this
system of defense, yet all too often
the plan of strategy falls down
simply because of failure to re-
cognize in the little, common cold
an advance guard of the other more
deadly and more serious diseases.
Yet it is neither impossible, or even
hard, to keep out of the clutches of
a common cold for science has
proved that it is simply matter of
good habits meaning proper diet,
exercise, cleanliness, rest, ETC.
together with scrupulous attention
to the question of providing the
lungs with plenty of pure, fresh
air, the kind of air that has been
purified and cleansed by the sun
and swept clean by the precipita-
ton of rain or snow.
Sometime, perhaps, science will
find serum that will conquer or
prevent the common cold, and GER
tainly it is to be hoped so. But
until that time comes it is up to
each individual to look out for
himself, and if perchance he finds
himself victim of little COM
mon cold" he should not under
rate his enemy, or neglect to utilize
his means and device to conquer
and get rid of this foe to health.
For often It is the little cold that
paves the way for the bigger ills.
And when any of these commence
to gnaw at the vitals of a poor
victim, the latter awakes, too late,
to a realization of the fact that he
made a terrible mistake when he
failed to take care of the little cold.

WITH all due respect for those
prominently mentioned as candi-
dates for governor on the Republi-
can ticket, we will venture the
opinion that it will be of not much
use for anyone to run up against
the buzz saw in the shape of
Governor ]. A. A. Burnquist who
assumed the powers of the high
office after the recent death of
Governor Hammond. Of Governor
Burnquist nothing but good can be
spoken. He is a man fitted for the
place and eminently qualified to
fill it. All the influential papers of
the state have come out fat-footed
for Burnquist.

IT is very evident that it pays to
hold a clerical position in the court
house at Duluth. The public
examiner has discovered another
shortage of small matter of some
thing like $4,000, this time in the
accounts of the clerks in the
register of deeds Office. This
shortage happened sometime before
1912 during the regime of the late
M. c. Palmer and was not discov-
cred until last week. Indications
all point strongly to the conclusion
that someone was not attending
strictly to their business as it has
been shown that the books have
been thoroughly Cd examined
several times since the supposed
years of the shortage.

In another column of this paper
will be found the vital statistics
on the births and deaths in this
city. The bare figures indicate a
natural growth that is quite inter
esting to the school board of this
district. The figures show that at
the rate of increase in the births
over deaths, there is a possibility
of an addition of about four rooms
year necessary to take care of the
pupils. This means the erection
of more school room in few
years to come.
