COLDS ARE COSTLY LUXURY
Can Usu-lIy Be Avoided by Following
Carefully a Few Simple Rules,
II Is Declared.

Common colds have been estimated
to cost the population of certain states
100000 a year. Really, consider.
Ing the advanced prices Of medicine
and the wages lost, only the well.to.tlo
can afford to catch cold. the New
Haven Times-I.eader observes.
But in this matter the poorest can
become philanthroplsts. Whoever
manages to get through without his
annual sneezing or coughing spell is
comforting benefit on the whole com
munity.
There are two ways Of cutting the
high cost OF colds for yodr own sake
and Of proving yourself public bene-
factor us we'll:
l. Avoid exposure to infection when
member of the family brings germ
cold into the house, and II you catch
cold. sneeze and cough behind your
handkerchief and avoid injecting 9TH
ers.
2. Drink two quarts Of wnter tlay ;
sleep with your bedroom windows
wide open-never mind the snow out
side-cover up; sit, stand and walk
erect, and walk every day In the open
air; keep clean; eat slowly and do not
eat too much. Holiday fcnsts are re-
sponsible for many hard cold.

La Toilette at His Worst.

Senator La Follette's peace resolu
ton, which he proposes to discuss il
due course, amounts to proposal
that the war be brought to an end
upon terms which will restore Europe
as nearly as may be to the condition
in which it was before the war be-
gan. The Armenians and Palestine
will be under the Turk, Poland would
continue to be ruled in three parts
by three countries, unredeemed Italy
would remain unredeemed and SOW
creignty in Alsace-Lorraine would be
confirmed in the Power that took it
by force.
The war would be failure on ev-
cry side except in Russia, the wicked
would go unpunished and the blood
of millions would have been shed in
vain.
But that is not all there is to this
monstrous proposal. Senator La Fol-
1ette would restore the devastated
regions of Europe out of a common
fund to be made up by all the ma
tions that took part in the war.
This would amount to universal
admission OF guilt Even the defense
of Belgium by the Belgians would not
be distinguished in moral. quality
from the invasion of Belgium by the
Germans.
1t is easy to guess what .the Sen
ate will do with the La Toilette res
olution. The pity is that nothing
can be done with La Follette.-St.

Company B Waiting Orders.

The officers of Company B so far
have received no orders as to when
they will be ordered to the state
camp at Nevada. They are drilling
hard every day SO that the time is
not being wasted. Twice each day
the company is marched to the Steele
pasture, southwest of town, where
they go through the various company
maneuvers. Wednesday forenoon,
on account of the wet grounds, the
company was divided into squads
and given squad drills in ethe court
house yard and on the streets.
Saturday night those men who de-
sired to spend Sunday were excused
and allowed to go home and visit
home folks until Monday morning.
and it speaks we'll for the discipline
of the boys that all were back on
time.
Tuesday night a benefit for the
company mess fund was held at the
opera house. The house and the pic
lures were donated by Manager Fisk,
who was a soldier himself in the
Spanish American war, and knew
how a mess fund was needed. The
best home talent in Butler donated
their services and the show was a
success in every way. The proceeds
were $1Is, which will buy many COM
forts for the boys.

recruit in Ernest Linn. Mr.. Linn is
q native of Denmark and served fif-
teen months in the Danish army. He
Is highly educated and speaks six
