UNITED Press Dispatch.1
Washington, May $50 certain is
Ambassador Bernstorff that the sub
marine controversy between Germany
and the United States will be settled
that he has made arrangements to
stay at Washington during the com
ing summer. He bases his confidence
in part on the willingness that the
United States government has here
tofore manifested to negotiate in re.
gard to the questions at issue. But
perhaps he does not realize that the
Washington authorities are not will
ing to carry in negotiations over
the matter in the way that they have
done.
During the past two weeks, it is said
the government has sent Ambassador
Gerard no fresh messages on the
matter, though it has sent him quite
a number of communications on 9TH

rare good humor. General Scott went
immediately to his private car and

Early Termination of Campaign.
Washington, May 3.-An early ter
mination of the American campaign
in Mexico is what the government
hopes as a result of the conference

Mexican railways to the American
army will so facilitate the transpor-
tation of troops, that more soldiers

Colds and How to Avoid
Them.
BY MISS LOULA {. KENNEDY
OF Kansas State Agricultural College.


A cold is Il germ disease and its
development is favored by undue ex-
posure to cold, by fatigue, by improper
sleep, and by overeating. One should
keep away from the germs by avoiding
direct contact with persons who are
suffering with this disease and those
who are careless about coughing and
sneezing without using their hundker-
chiefs.
One must live hygienically in order
TO keep the body in good condition.
Hygienic living means proper food.
clothing, exercise, rest. plenty of fresh
air, and good habits generally. When
one is fatigued or worried, or when
prolonged chilling or indigestion dis
turbS the system the vitality is lowered
and the way is made easy for the de-
velOpment of the germ. Clothing
should be neither too warm nor too
cool. Too much clothing induces eX-
cessive perspiration, which eventually
will cause chilling of the body.
1t is advisable to harden oneself
" NOlu, Dul care IuuSl De ODStTNeu uol
to Overdo the matter. Because a little
hardening will do good it does not nee
essarily follow that more will do bet
ter. The temperature OF the living
room should never be kept so low as
to chill the occupants. Special atten-
ton should be given to keep the air in
this room moist, as the drying of the
mucous Innings of the air passages
causes them to crack and allow germs
to enter.
cold may be contracted in spite
OF these preventive measures. Then
the body must be given a chance to
cure itself. This necessitates even
more careful living. Drugs can only
remove conditions standing in the way
of natures cure. They are all right If
prescribed by a physician, but no drug
is known to be an absolute cure for II
cold.
Colds should never be neglected.
"Only cold" too often expresses the
attitude. Colds pave the way for pneu'
monia and other serious diseases.
