The Habit of Taking Cold

WITH many people taking cold is
a habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees F !.
Also sleep with your window up.
Do this and you will seldom tale
cold. When you do take cold take

OF its natural element, and like "a me-
teor thrust into eternal space, we won

joy that must have been overlooking
in the hearts of the allies whose heroic
minds never for a minute doubted the
ultimate participation of the Stars and
Stripes in the cause OF a dying race
yes, dying race, if the German reign
of terror could not be checked by SUI
perior might. President Wilson rose
in our estimation last night. His slow
procedure, reminding us of the slow
and painful path through Dante's in
fernO into the chamber of eternal
flames, was hurriedly brought TO an
end and our faces were turned toward
the worlds true democracy-the hope,
indeed moved by the singular poise
and patience of your president. There
is no doubt in our minds about his rank
as the greatest world statesman of to-
day, even overshadowing our cherished
memories of Abraham Lincoln. whose
problems were not international. VIII
sons decision is our united decision,
my son, and whatever blow he shall
impose on the German Hohenzollerns
must be just and agreeable with us

be surprised to find many of the radi-
Gals turned toward democracy. l dared
not think of such a situation for fear
of being named an outlaw In the eyes
of our circles, but now my dormant
thoughts are expressed all over the
land and generally accepted. Ca 'ou
remember how Leo TOlstoi's drama,
The Resurrection moved us to tears
when we first saw ii played at the
Royal opera house in Bergen? Little
did we dream that so near future as
1917 would usher in that new democ-
racy which the Russian evangelist
prophet foresaw. There is a new dra-
ma appearing in Norway. Sweden and
Denmark, too! Mark my words, ii is

heart of the antique government are
coming before the footlights 70 the
amazement of the whole nation. The
German military scheme has been I'M
dermining our welfare and international
standing to such an extent that Eng
land has ceased all importations and
expectations with us, and even threat
ened us in various ways. A few trusts
have been the beneficiaries of this out
rageous assault against whole nation.
The light has come, and we hope to
God and man that its radiance may
shatter to pieces the autocracy and
gradually lead US into the better day
of equal rights. God only knows what
your country is facing. / fear for an
