TO. BE IMMUNE FROM COLDS
Only Safeguard, Apparently, 10 Con.
tinued Exposure to Elements,
Declares London Writer.

II you want to avoid all likelihood
Of catching cold In future, you had bet
ter turn explorer and trot OF to the
arctic regions. There sneezes are un-
known, and a cough would probably
scare a polar bear out of its life, says
a writer in London Tit-Bits.
Although the clothes Of explorers in
those regions are often saturated with
Precipitation, and are a mass Of ice
when they retire for the night, and
despite the fact that they often have
to sleep out in the open In their sleep
ing bags, and that this is their only
means Of thawing themselves, their
health does not suffer In the least.
Then there is the classical and some
what mythical instance of the st. Kilda
cold. On the rock islands, lying some
forty miles beyond the western Heb
rides. there are about one hundred In
habitants, access to whom Is practi-
cally impossible during eight months
out Of the twelve, owing to the stormy
seas. Oddly enough, however. when
ever a steamer touches at this island.
all the Inhabitants. including the very
infants-so runs the legend-are seized
with violent sneezing fits, which de.
velop into colds.
Exposure Is not the direct cause of
colds. The only safeguard Is continued
exposure.

sugar, with more water If needed, and
cook half hour longer. This may
be varied by using the ounces whole,

Ginger Pears.-Take eight pounds
Of green pears, eight pounds OF sugar.
Juice OF four lemons and fourth OF
a pound Of green ginger root. Pare
and cut the fruit In thin slices, the
rind in small thin pieces. Boil slowly
until thick. Seal In glasses.
Carrot Conserve.-Wash and serape
n half dozen firm. highly colored car
rots and put them through the meat
chopper, cutting ms fine rs peas. Boil
for half an hour sailing lightly. To
each pint add two cupfuls of light.
brown sugar, the juice and rind of u
lemon or a sour orange. Cook slowly
for one or more hours until clear and
thick.
Plum conserve.-Take three pounds
Of plums and equal weight OF sugar.
Cut the plums In pieces, add little
water, the sugar. One-third OF a pound
of raisins and the pulp of two oranges.
Simmer one hour Seal in glasses.
Pineapple may he combined with
rhubarb TO make u marmalade or pre-
serve which is very delicious. The
quantity OF rhubarb Is about three
times that of pineapple, but owing to
the strong flavor of the pine, the con-
serve is really pineapple. The same
proportion may be used with straw
berries. raspberries or other fruit that
has Characteristic flavor, which over
comes the rhubarb.
Every fruit and vegetable possible
should be conserved this year either
by canning, drying or sailing.

routed by the fiercely cheering Irish
brigade. Breaking through the lines
the Irish were close to achieving vic
tory akin to that they afterward gained
Mt Fontenoy. But their ardor carried
them too far. Marlborough sent them

treated.
Meanwhile Eugene, on the right

Marlborough with Hannibal-like re-
lance upon cavalry prepared the fin
fishing stroke elsewhere. At five i'm the
afternoon he massed 5000 hOrsemen
and artillery and sent them against
10000 French cavalrymen whose line
was interlaced with infantrymen. For
a time the issue hung in the balance
for the British squadron wavered be-
fore the hot French fire, but the artil-
lery supports came into action most
manfully, the French fusillade slack
ened and Marlborough instantly order
ing a charge along the whole line the
French cavalry lost their heads, fired
in the air and dashed OFF the field
leaving nine infantry battalions to be
ridden over by the overwhelming mass
Of British hOrsemen.
This won the battle. Resistance con-
tinued, the French making desperate
effort to cut themselves out. Marshal
Marsin and the elector did get away
from Eugene, but the "a battaliOns and
IL squadrons at Blenheim were forced
TO surrender. OF the great French
army there remained, according to
VOltaire, only 10000 uncaptured effec-
tives. Twelve thousand were dead.
Fourteen thousand were prisoners
The victors lost 5000 dead and 5000
wounded. Ulm, Landau, Treves and
Traerbach surrendered. With Blen-
helm ended the proud visions of Louis
for universal domination.

BIUwUtt Has a Free For All

According to reports that come here
from the Peshastin valley saw mill
town they had a dance last Saturday
night, as they do almost every Satur-
day night, at which some individuals
who have not the fear of the law in
mind, vended liquors that produced
intoxication when imbibed too freely
The booze sold was OF the fighting va
riety and some time during the evening
it broke out on two attendants at the
terpsichorean pastime and they came
together. Each had friends and they
could not resist the temptation 10 take
part, and the trouble became general,
nearly everybody taking a hand. How
ever, beyond few bruises and a black
eye, DO one was seriously injured.
Somebody told Sheriff McManus about
the booze, and if there is one thing
more than another that he does try to
stamp out it is illicit booze dispensing,
so he came here Wednesday with the
purpose of making some arrests. He
learned that the booze vendors had hit
the trail in the direction of the setting
sun and he took the next train for Sc
attic where he had intimations he
might lay the hand Of the law on the
delinquents.
