THE SIMPLE COLD"
COLD In THE HEAD Is A COM
MUNICABLE DISEASE.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 7.-During
the fall and early winter many per-
sons contract colds which continue to
worry and make them i'll the entire
winter. This common cold in the
head is a communicable disease, ac-
cording to a member of the faculty
of the school of medicine of the Uni
versity OF Missouri. There Is no
special germ hat causes a cold, but
there are several which may do so,
says this authority. The discharges
from the nose, throat and mouth,
and the exhalation from the lungs of
a person with a cold may contain the
infection agent. Primarily the dis
nose, causing inflammation. Lower
ed bodily resistance, caused by ex-
IRENE fatigue or continued residence
in poorly heated places, chilling the
body; wet feet and damp clothing
predisposes the development of a
cold. When in such condition. ordi-
nary contact with q person who has
a cold may cause M to take" it.

hence the excellent practice of taking
an active purge at the beginning of
a cold. A cold usually goes before
some more serious disease, therefore
it is best to block the progress.
To prevent colds, shun overheated,
u~nderheated or irregularly heated
and poorly ventilated rooms. Avoid
contact with persons who have colds.
Use common sense in dressing. When
colds are epidemic, avoid places
where large numbers OF people are
c~ongregated.
But in spite of preventive meas
ures nearly everyone gets colds. A
few simple directions for the treat
ment are given by the University of
Missouri physicians. Within the first
few hours after you have taken a cold
and upon going to bed, take a large,
hot Lemonade. Spirituous liquors
should be omitted. For a few days
the diet should be free from meats,
condiments, sweets and pastries. II
there is no fever a person may go
about his ordinary activities. but ii
is better to remain one day at home
where heating and ventilating condi-
tions may be controlled. If these
simple remedies do not control or
cure the attack, one should have the
advice of a physician promptly.

Emerson as an EssayIst.

Emerson's essays constitute his

ly all his prose consists Of essays.
Their point of view is uniquely unitary
and self-consistent. They form pleas
for freedom of personality. All set
forth enthusiastic and constant faith
in the worth Of every individual, be-
cause Emerson believed in the inner
goodness of all men, and the necessity
Of each OF US standing immovably in
himself. He taught the eternal truth
that men have founts Of Joy in them
selves, and quickened faith in the soul.
He stood for the large attitude toward
life. He regarded the whole world as
an expanded circle of brothers. His
message was that of Keats: Beauty
is truth, truth beauty" and he cared
equally for each. He exemplifed the
highest function the essayist can per.

Wanted Another Arrangement.

It had been an unusually hard day
for little Thee, who was visiting her
great-grandmother, at whose house
lived her grandmother and her Uncle
Wallie also. This uncle, who INDUCED
her with a fine disregard Of conse-
quences, was great favorite Of little
Theo. On this particular day she had
been naughty, calling forth many re-
proofs from her two grandmothers.
At last, weary and discouraged, she
sat down Indignantly in her little
rocker, and, eying her grandmothers
with evident disgust, remarked with
a loud sigh: Il wish God had not
made me so many grandmas, but had
made me more Uncle Wallies.'
