The Habit Of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed--not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees f.
Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold, take Cham

SENSATIONAL
Story Told By GAINESVILLE GiT1
In Chicago
Was First Traced To Mt. Ver-
non By Her Father

Several weeks ago the local police
department was asked to search in
Mt Vernon for Ruth Crist, a 19-year-
old girl from GAINESVILLE. The father
of the girl stated that she ran away
from GAINESVILLE and was traced to
this city, where it was believed she
was living with a man. The police
made a search, but found that the
girl had gone to Mansfield. From
that city she went to Chicago and,
according to press dispatches, when
found, she told a most sensational
story and made an expose of alleged
club life in the hotels.
The following press dispatch from
Chicago says:
In the morals court, Ruth Crist, al
80 known as Dorothy Templeton,"
told story of conditions alleged to
exist in several loop hotels that caus
ed Judge ]. Uhlir to send the girl to
Chief of Police Healy.
60 to the chief Tell him all you
have testified to in this court" said
the Judge. 81 am surprised at what
you have told me. | did not think
there were places in Chicago such as
you have told me about-clubs oper-
ated In hotels, where young girls are
allowed to go, where they are allowed
to drink and smoke and where the
closing laws are totally disregarded."
THE story that Miss Crist has told
is true" said Francis ID. Hanna, chief
morals inspector, on the witness
stand In Judge Uhlir's court. "And
what is more, the police department
knows about these clubs. They've
had reports from my Office based on
the Investigations made by my men.
Ruth Crist ran away from home on
Sept. and came to Chicago "to see
life" She was found by detectives
early yesterday morning at Madison
and Dearborn streets. Her stepfath'
er, travelling salesman, of GAINESVILLE,
was notified by telegraph. He was in
court today.
Ruth Crist was allowed to go home
because her mother is very Ill. She
promised to return and testify re-
garding the allnight clubs,

very common ailment. These germs

the blood is In a vigorous condition Its

Otherwise the cold hangs on'-turns

PERKINS WILL NOT
 LEAD c. o. P. FIGHT
Ex-BuU MOOser Denies That He Is to Head Hughes Campaign
 Committee.

New York, July 3.-George w.. Perkins denied last night that he was to be the head of the Hughes cam raign committee. It had been re- ported that, to give the country evi- dence of the raprochment of the republicans and progressives, MT. Perkins would be asked to head the campaign committee which is to work with Republican National Chairman Wilcox for the election of the G. O. |. ticket. When MT. Perkins was asked last night if he would confirm or deny the report he said:
 There is nothing to it."
 It is generally supposed that Mr Perkins will be member of the Hughes campaign committee, even if he is not to be chairman. The com n:ittee probably will be named this week.
 Mir. Perkins played no small part in the official amalgamaton of the re- publicans and progressives so far as this years national campaign goes, and he is one of the hardest workers for MT. Hughes. He enjoys the rCAru- ta ton of having been a most liberal contributor to the progressive cam paigns in which he has been deeply interested for the last four years.
 Chairman Wilcox has gone to Loon Lake to remain over the Fourth.
