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

If you want to avoid all likelihood
of catching cold in future, you had bet
ter turn explorer and trot off to the
arctic regions. There sneezes are un-
known, and cough would probably
scare u polar bear out Of Its life, says
a writer in London Tit-Blts.
Although the clothes of explorers in
those regions are often saturated with
perspiratiOn, and are q 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 abort 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 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.

where lay II battaliOns of infantry, In
cludlng the celebrated Irish brigade.
A fog which covered the ground
early on the morning of August Is
Obscured the advance to Tallard until
the Oncoming British left wing was
close upon him. Then he opened ter
rifle cannOnade. Lord Cults, with a
strong brigade of infantry, hurled him
self against Blenheim town, only to
suffer repulse, while Marlborough was
crossing the little river, Nebel. Here
the duke was In serious trouble, for his
squadrOns of cavalry became mIred
In the swamp while the French artil-
lery played upon them mercilessly. 1t
was only by resOlutely advancing
fresh men that Marlborough got him
self out of his predicament. Eventual
ly he formed his whole left wing In
splendid strategic position, only to
be placed on the very edge of dlsas-
Ger at the center where the prince of
H0lStein Beck, with IL HanOverian bat
taliOnS was charged and utterly
routed by the tierCely cheering Irish
brigade. Breaking through the lines
the Irish were close to achieving vic
tory akin to that they afterward gained
at FOntenOy. But their ardOr carried
them too far. Marlborough sent them
reeling back with furious cavalry
charges, while three hastily summoned
battalions raked them as they re-
treated.
Meanwhile Eugene. on the right
wing, was so hard pressed that only
the steadiness Of his Prussian regl-
ments and his own personal eXertions
saved him. However, he held on, while
Marlborough with a Hannibal-llke re-
lance upon cavalry prepared the fin
ishing stroke elsewhere. At five in the
afternoon he masSed 5000 horsemen
and artillery and sent them against
10000 French cavalrymen whose line
was interlaced with lnfantrymen. 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 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 a desperate
effort to cut themselves out. Marshal
Marsin and the eleCtOr did get away
from Eugene, but the "a battaliOns and
II squadrons ut Bienheim 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.

Vastness Of China.

A large part of the great Chinese en-
pire has never been surveyed or even
explored. AS result, all sorts of vary
ing estimates as to the size Of China
have been given. An estimate can
merely be an approximation represent
ing the last guess. This last guess is
estimated to be about 100000 square
miles for China's area-abOut 100000
miles larger than the total area of our
United States. While one of the 18
provinces of China is several thousand
square miles smaller than our own
state of Texas, yet within the border
of this Chinese province there have
been dwelling 20 times as many Chi
nese inhabitants as there are Ameri-
cans who dwell without our great state
Of Texas.

Cotton Is Ancient.

Just who discovered cotton is not
known. The early records are so in
complete that no individual can be
credited with the discovery of the val
lie of this wonderful plant. Long be-
fore Caesars time, among the Hindoos,
they had law that If you stole piece
of cotton you were fined three times
its value. Most of the early nations
were familiar with cotton-the early
Egyptians, Chinese and other ancient
people used it and valued it.

Favors Longer School Year.

That colleges and normal schools
should be crowded this year to pro-
vide intelligent leadership for Amer
lea, and that the school year should
be extended rather than abridged, in
line with the spirit of conservation
prevailing throughout the nation, are
statements of F. B. Pearson, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction, in
letters sent to Ohio superintendents
Uplift Bureau for Girls.
Columbus women active in social
and civic endeavor have formed an
'uplift employment bureau" for girls
who are being forced from the Colum-
bus vice districts by the federal anti
vice ruling, resulting from the loca-
tion here of Columbus barracks and
the aviation school at Ohio State uni
versity.
Commencing Aug. 27 bureau was
opened to telephone calls from these
girls, who can arrange conferences
with the workers, who will place
them in domestic and commercial po-
sitions.
Says Farmers Are MisIed.
Farmers are misled by choosing
large ears of corn for seed when the
excellence is due to unusually fertile
soil or thin planting Previous condi-
tions of growth cannot overcome
hereditary tendencies, say crop spe-
cialists of the Ohio agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Wooster. When
tested side by side under similar con-
ditions, corn that previously haG been
grown on the best manured plot Of
the fertility work of the Ohio expert
ment station yielded the same as
other corn that had been grown on
unfertilized land.

State Fair Opens.
Probably the largest number of
women that ever attended such an ex-
position were pres sent at the opening
of the Ohio 9th annual state fair.
All exhibits were in place for the
initial showing and with the many
free attractions offered this year,
nothing seemed lacking for the edifica-

sections of the state to enjoy the
opening days entertainment. Exhibits
of farm products, livestock, poultry,
farm machinery, automobiles, school
work, art and industrial industries
formed an interesting spectacle.

10 SERIOUS TROUBLE

Members of the Connecticut Ma Haonal Guard doing duty at the Berlin station and the bridges on the main line of the New Haven road have been experiencing some little trouble the past few nights with providers. The people of Kensington were star tied about 12 o'clock last Saturday when a volley of shots was fired in the northern section of the town. It 70 happened that the men doing duty on the stone bridge about mile north of the station saw a number of men approaching on either side of the tracks and when they ordered the men to halt a mad dash was made for the swamp on either side of the tracks. ehots were fired after the party of cunning men but they disappeared Into the night and nothing more was heard of them. Nothing Is expected to come of the affair as people con- wider that it was only a party of brick gard employees that had been out for . good time-a and when ordered to halt became frightened and made of.
 Last night the guards heard sus- picious sounds at the same spot and when they gave the order to halt all .became silent. Shots fired at the spot from which the sounds came brought no results but later sounds as if some one were running were heard from the direction of the swamp.
 Sergeant James MacLelland left last night for the training camp at Platts- burg and his place has been taken by Milton Young who will have charge of the local detail while 1t is on duty in the town. With the ex- ception of few slight. colds all of the members of the detail are enjoy < ing excellent health. While off duty the boys enjoy themselves playing ball on the depot road and many of Ahem are showing exceptional ability sAt the game.

 Guardsmen Finished Soldiers.
 That the Plainville company of the Home Guard is making excellent pro gress in military development as the result of the regular drifis and ,in-. structions in army maneuvers Mas made most apparent yesterday when the uniformed division appeared ir public for the second time. Under the leadership of Lieutenants Duffy and Gwillim, who, were in command bull, the men went through the man. ual of arms and the drill in splendid fashion. They were also given a short hike to help develop them for march, ing.
 There Is talk throughout the state that the Home Guard may be called upon soon to take the places of the National Guardsmen in protecting bridges and buildings of public char acter.a Should such an emergency arise the local men are ready to re- spond, and the showing made in their drills indicates that they will be able
