 His vitality, which had kept him up for nearly S2 years, at last, gave in and his strength ebbed away with each day Last evening at six o'clock he was moved from the hospital to a room over the Friendly Inn, where he was left in charge of a male attendant. Perhaps the jar of moving hastened his death or perhaps his time had come but he was found dead this morning, peaceful in his last sleep
 His last will and testament which was left in the possession of MT. W. A. Bryant, of the J. R. Hickman Con- pany, leaves a small sum of money, the fruit of many years labor, to a friend, Mrs. Cecil Byrne, of Bishop, California, who as a little girl, had been one of the old mans great fav- orites.

COM MON COLDS.
What U. S. Health Department Says
Of Cause and Prevention.

The most prevalent illness in the
United States is the common cold,
disease group included under one name
and considered of such minor import
ance that vital statistics do not record
the enormous number of persons who
annually are subjected to suffering,
inconvenience and economic loss
thereby. Remarkable as it may seem,
the widespread familiarity with this
condition has bred contempt which
hides its seriousness, yet when the
sum total of the ravages committed
by common colds is made, it becomes
evident that instead of being group
of trivial affections, common colds
must be classed as serious diseases.
To prevent a cold it is necessary
first of all to keep the body resistance
at high point of efficiency This
means that the body machinery shall
be kept in good order at all times.
Good wholesome food in proper
amount, plenty of sleep, the careful at
tention to the voiding of the body
wastes, the taking of regular exercise
in the open air, keeping the body
clean, keeping the mouth and nose
clean, the avoidance of hot, stuffy
dusty rooms. the avoidance of expos
ure to sudden changes of temperature
the prevention of the chilling of the
body either by cold or wet, are all
protective measures. 1t should be
borne in mind, however that even
robust persons may contract colds
from people who have them.
The germs of colds leave the body
in the secretions of the mouth and the
nose. They enter. the body through
the same route. Thus careless
sneezer and the person who does not
cover his mouth and nose when he
coughs are breeders of these infec-
tons. The little living bodies which
cause colds are so small that a million
could rest on the head of pin. When
4 person coughs or sneezes a fine
spray carrying with it untold numbers
If these germs is spread into the sur
atmosphere to distance Of
several feet and may be easily taken
nto the mouth and nose with the re-
'pired air. More directly contact such
Is by kissing, the common drinking
up, the common roller towel, by pipes,
oys, pencils, fingers, food, and other
hings which have been contaminated
" the mouth and nose secretions of a
'erson having cold may also carry
he disease

HIGH METAL PRICES.
Denver Mining Record)


Save for the promptings of metal
lurgists and the teachings of text
books. we might we'll conclude that
there was no longer any base metals;
that these, by some process savoring
of magic. have been transmitted into
precious products of steadily enhanc-
ing values. Never in the history of
mankind have metal prices scared to
the transcendent quotations now pre-
vaiing: and never in any wars of the
past has there been so huge demand
for the output of the mines or such a
lavish wastage of material.
With copper so high in price that
its use commercially might be regard
cd as an extravaganza. the production
of two red metal mines for the pres
ent year has virtually all been con-
tracted for by the European govern
ments and by domestic consumers.
who would purchase still more If a
larger quantity We're obtainable.
Even lead, hitherto considered one
of the basest Of the base metals, has
become scare in the market under a
demand that has known practically
no cessation for the last two years
and over, causing it to mount to price
levels never reached before. New
York quotations on the metal yester-
day We're Q and az cents a pound for
spot or February delivery and s% and
cents for March requirements.
The outlook for the silver-lead
mines of the west Is indeed propitious:
for with silver now bringing 77% cents
an ounce and lead at it's present price.
the two metals form very desirable
combination as profit producers.
Metal conditions throughout the
world are abnormal and only the re-
storation of peace can bring them
back to anywhere near standard ba-
sis 1t is doubtful however, If the low
prices of former years for various met
ais will he reached within the next

SHELTER SMOKE.
Damage Has Been Eliminated and in
Cases Crops Have Improved.

At the January meeting of the New
York section of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers. Lignon Johnson.
attorney for the international Nickel
company and the American Smelling
and Refining company, gave dis
course on the legal phases of the
smoke problem of the smelling plant.
1t was found by scientific fnvestiga-
ton that much Of the damage usually
attributed to the smoke from the
smelling plant was actually due to
other causes The problem has been
studied by physicians. veterinary
surgeons, agronomists, entOmologists
and Observation-Disclosures the smelling
company chemists. Damage to human
beings or to animals had. he said. been
practically eliminated with the i'm
proved methods Of clearance for the
gases, With the perfection of clear
ance methods, the use of high stacks
and the dispersion of hot gases, the
smoke problem had been solved at
most of the big works.
In regard to alleged damage to veg
citation 1t was found in many in
stances that the condition Of the dam
aged plants arose from other causes
than smoke Smoke of much higher
500 concentration was tested on 9TH
er growing plants and 1t was found
that they would stand without dam
age much more sulphur dioxide than
was contained in the gases of the
smelling plant. In number of in
stances the botanists and entomolo-
gists found that the plants We're dis
eased: cultures We're made from such

duced into healthy plants. With ell
limitation of certain plant diseases.
both the crop yield and the nutritive
value had been increased. On some
alkali land the crop had been improved
by the addition of sulphuric acid. The
scientific study of the vegetation in the
vicinity Of smelling plants had thus
revealed many causes of crop failures
that had formerly been attributed to
the smoke.
