ONLY SURE CURE FOR COLDS
London Newspaper Asserts That Evil
Must Be Fought With Practically
Its Own Weapons.

Doctor Johnson, knowing nothing
of microbes, thought he had crushed
the story of the cold that strangers
bring to St. Kilda by asking: How
can there be a physical effect with
out physical cause?" Then he pro-
ceeded to make merry. The arrival
of a ship full of strangers, he laugh
ingly supposed, would kill the inhab-
itants Of the island; for if one
stranger gives them one cold, two
strangers must give them two colds,
and so in proportion" In vain did be-
levers in the story argue that it was
annually proved upon the arrival of
the owners steward which always re-
suited in cold for all the islanders.
1.-THE steward" replied Johnson, al
ways comes to demand something
from them; end SO they fall a-cough-
ing"
The proper cure for a cold, which
always seems to have baffied the doc
tors, is-cold-on the principle of
homeopathy. The only sailors in the
Crimean days who escaped sore
threats were those who could not get
mufflers. The members of the Scott
expedition never got a cold" until
they had left the frozen Antarctic and
reached civilization. We should es-
tablish the refrigerating chamber as
antiphon to the Turkish bath for cure
of colds.-London Chronicle.

Etiquette Overdone.

The good people of the church gave
the poor children of the parish boun'
tiful dinner, and the delight OF the
youngsters was much more manifest
than their table manners.
One little fellow was discovered
clutching jam tart in one fist and a
lump of pudding In the other. He
was reproved for his breach Of Ell.
quette, and took the reproach very
meekly. But q moment later he
turned to the diner next to him and
remarked regretfully:
1.-THE troubles about these here table
manners is that they was invented by
somebody who wasn't never really
hungry"

Compass That Indicates Time.

BY a slight modification in the or.
binary pocket compass it has been
transformed into very practical time
piece for indicating the hour by the
shadow of the sun. In addition to the
usual points" there is graduated
hour scale with the two twelves at the
north and south. The crystal by which
the magnetic needle Is protected has
lima etched across it through the CEN
ter and it is mounted in bezel which
permits of the glass being rotatably
moved. Knowing the variation of the
compass, an adjustment Of the glass is
made to overcome it, the etched line
forming an angle with the north and
south line corresponding with the vari'
alton. The instrument being held hori-
zontally and the etched line being di-
rected against the sun, the time is in
dicated by the needle, the point OF
which overhangs the graduated hour

WONDERFUL HOW RESINOL
STOPS SKIN TORRENTS

The soothing, healing medication in
resinol ointment and resinol soap
soothes and cools the irritated skin,
and usually stops itching at once. The
resinol treatment speedily heals eczema,
ringworm, and similar eruptions, and
clears away disfguring pimples even
when other treatments have been almost
useless.
Resinol is not an experiment. 1t is
a Doctors prescription which proved
so wonderfully successful for skin
troubles that it has been used by other
doctors all over the country for twenty
years. Every druggist sells Resinol
ointment and resinol soap.-Adv.

Matches Luxury in Leeds.

The scarcity of matches in Leeds
that was threatened in the fall Of 1915
has become reality. The prices have
been high and the quality has been
poor. The Yorkshire Evening Post of
Leeds said recently: ut sometimes
takes three matches to raise light
nowadays, and with the price in
creased some ESQ per cent, that makes
them rather costly luxury"
Much interest was manifested re-
Gently in the arrival at London of a
cargo of matches from Japan. Up to

lean manufacture have been noticed

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Monte Vista, Colo-The first annual
potato show given by the Farmers
Union Association Of the Monte Vista
district was held here. The potato
crop in this section this year has been
far beyond anything ever known be-
fore. Yield and prices have been phe-
nomenal. The farmers arranged the
show to exchange ideas as to the most
successful methods used, as well as to
celebrate their success in the growing
of their crops. During the exhibition
a number of farmers publicly burned
the mortgages on their land, this
years crop having enabled them to
pay off all indebtedness.
Some OF the yields reported by indi-
vidual farmers were painted on
streamers and posted in conspicuous
places at the potato show. For in
stance, William Macy and sons report
ed a gross return of $423. 10 from one
measured acre. William Bowsher
cleared $4,000 from 16O acres.
About $4,000 carloads of potatoes
have been shipped already from Mon
te Vista and Del Norte stations. and
1000 cars remain awaiting transport
alton facilities. The potato growers
plan to build $4,000 storage house
next summer to hold their crops in
case other years have car shortages
such as marked the present year.
