WHERE IT HURTS.

It begins to look now as if the
 Adamson Eight Hour Day law will
 never become reality In that 1t may 1 he declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. It's
 author has taken time by the fore lock and has introduced into Con-
 sress another bill which provides that
 railroad employees shall be absolutely forbidden to work more than eight hours day. His explanation for this is reasonable and if his statistics are
 correct which they probably are his scheme can be carried out. Accord ing to MT. Adamson, "All but two
 per cent of the railroad divisions in this country are practically one hum
 dred miles in length It is. there- fore, possible to comply strictly with an eight-hour law by merely seeing that trains are not overloaded and that they make an average. speed of
 twelve and half miles an hour. The Providence Journal wonders that nobody ever thought of this idea before. American railroad men,
 remarks the Journal. "have grown stoop- -shouldered and gray headed
 trying to work out satisfactory sched
 ules, yet the Georgia statesman solves the problem without more than half trying. Who will be the first rail- road President to offer the Honor oh1 AI inh fat salary?'
 In all probability Representative Adamson will not be offered a job at a fat or a lean salary. even if he has. as the Journal suggests, "solved the problem" Instead he will likely be looked upon as a mcddlesome old man who< had better attend to the wants of his constituency in the way of pork and let railroading alone This notwithstanding the fact that he has put his finger on the very pulse of the railroads problem. There are railroad men who admit that the whole system of schedules can be- changed as to give an eight-hour day to practically all men who run trains. But there are some railroad men who would not want to see such a thing come to pass. Such, for in stance, are those who complete their daily passenger runs in three or four have nothing to do til, tomorrow"

Why Colds Are Prevalent in Winter

"The reason why we don't have so many colds and so much pneu1 monia in June as we do in NovembeI lies in our lack of ability to live as rationally in November We cuij down on our supply of fresh air1 We take less exercise. We .subje@ our bodies to extremes of temporal ture. We shut ourselves up ir crowded places where infection has ideal conditions to propagate itself Tn June we were in the open air lot, went walking and swimming and driving, kept the windows open and needed no cocktail to give us ar appetite. Sad is the contrast now and we pay the penalty. We take no more open-air exercise but we eat as much as ever. We worb harder but sleep less, for the social season Is on. Only an hour or so day are we in the open For the rest of the time we are in sealed houses, stuffy subways and street cars, ill-ventilated offices, restaurants theaters and ball rooms, breathing heated, humid air that has a high per- centage of infectious microbes. At q season when our resisting power is lessened by our way of life and the changes of the temperature, we keep ourselves most of the time in places ideal for the spread Of breathed- in infection. Under these conditions our internal allies haven't a fair chance. to put Up a fight for us, and season. able ailments multiply. But don't blame the season. Don, blame germs. It Is up to us to meet the emer- gency And we can. By simple pre- cautions we can lesson the risks of infection from disease germs, and hY right living we can increase our DOW CTS of resistance to their attacks" = The Worlds Work.

PEOPLES BANK HAS
LIBERTY BOND SCHEME
Especial star Buiiet,a -ugrespondsnes.) }


HILO, Sept. 29.-Tne Peoples bank
has originated a scheme which will
facilitate the handling of the Liberty
bond issue, in as much as it will pro-
vide ways and means for a conven-
fence which can but prove highly ben
eficial to both purchaser and the
government as il will enable any one
OF moderate means to secure the
bonds.
Handsome certificates to the
amount of $40, printed in two eolors,
have been prepared, and as the pur-
chaser pays for the bonds OH the in
stalment plan, he is given receipt in
the shape of one of these parchments.
The first Liberty bond sale was for
800 each, and the bank Leople found
that this prevented many who were
anxious to invest but could not do so
owing to the amount being beyond
their reach. Thus the arrangement
which has been made, is the result of
an effort to overcome this difficulty
and to give the man Of small means
an equal opportunity to possess Lib
erty bonds. 1t is recognized that
every man would like to do his bit
to help the government in the pres
ent crisis, and the issuing of these
$40 certificates will provide the
means for carrying out just this
scheme.-Post.
