With many people taking cold is habit
but fortunately one that is easily broken.
Take a cold sponge bath every morning
when you first get out of bed-not ice
cold, but temperature of about 80 de-

up. Do this and you will seldom take
cold. When you do take cold take Cham

for 1915 are good. There Is a grow
ing scarcity of some imported commo-
dities which are in the nature of raw
material, such as dyes and fancy

of Japan for last year amounted to

SENSIBLE JUDGE NYE.

In private letter to the publisher,
which we take the liberty of quoting
from, Judge Carroll A. Nye writes:
81 appreciate deeply the kindly
words in the Union concerning my
self as an officer, though I think they
may be undeserved., p.
r. "Of one thing I assure y GU, viz:
I am not and shall not be candidate
for any Office other than the one I am
now holding. I fear I am too much
of an Independent in my political views
to ever enter the lists for any partisan
office. But what is more to the point,
this Office is more in accordance with
my tastes and with my ambition, so
far as I have any,"
The Union is pleased and the peo-
pie of the seventh judicial district will
be pleased to know that Judge Nye
prefers his present place on the bench
to any partisan Office.
The seventh judicial district has al
ways been fortunate in having judges
of character and ability, and they have
always been selected without regard
to their political affiliations.

Representative Browne of Wiscon-
sin ventures the opinion that the bad
road tax is the highest tax the Ameri-
can people are paying, and there is: no
doubt but what unimproved, highways
constitute a staggering burden. It
has been said by a secretary of agri-
culture that it costs the farmers
every year to move the great crops
they raise something like S1,6OO,OOO,-
900, and that from $400,O0O,OOO to
$500,000,0OO of this amount could be
saved by good roads. In the face of
these figures there is no economy in
denying federal aid to highway i'm
provement, and $25.ooo,o00 yearly is
little enough to appropriate to the
cause.
