1t was John P. St. John of Kansas, one time Prohibitionist candidate for president of the United States, who said that Americans vote as they cheer, If so. there is mighty little consolation for the Democratic party in this cam paign, for the Democratic administra- ton in three years has given us noth- ing to cheer over. On the contrary, as Mir. Hughes has said, these last three years have been years of humalt atiou and embarrassment.

A Postaraduate Course.

It would be an excellent thing il all
preachers could have preparatory

sage that came out of the mine or the
factory would have a different note
from the message that comes straight
from the seminary. 1t is one thing

other to be a great Christian, and you
cannot be the latter If you lose touch
with the actuafities of human life.
Nor is touch that comes through

How to Prevent Colds.

In the way OF practical advice on
now to prevent colds, DR.. Eugtne l..
Fisk, of the Life Extension Institute
in New York City, suggests that
one Of the best methods for prevent
ing colds is to breathe as much fresh
air as possible; 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 cod
ding as it is to be over-Spartan.
The skin can be trained to help re-
sist germ infection: and one OF the
worst ways to train it IL to work,
and live, and sleep in overheated
rooms. The SAINT sort OF rules ap-
plies to clothing. Adapt your cloth
ing to the condition Of your health
and to the condition Of the weather.
One man can wear light undercloth-
ing all the year round; Tor another
whose physique is not so hardy or
who has chronic heart or kidney
trouble, such a course is folly. 1t Is

tations for the toiler that the founder
OF his religion gained in the years he
spent as carpenter in Nazareth.
We doubt If there is any place
where 1t is harder to be real Chris
tian than in the pulpit. The man who
can stay there without dipping often
into life, as this Denver preacher pro-
poses to do. and retain his sensitive
mes to human need, his flaming tndig-
nation at injustice and oppression, is
an unusual man. In the pulpit the ten
dency is to offer the consultations of
religion when conditions actually de-
mand its revolutionary power. Conso-
lation is poor substitute for work of
reconstruction that world needs, and a
postgraduate course in factory would
help much in understanding the funda-
mental problems of the reconstructor.
