UNDER CHANNEL.
Is England Secretly Constructing
Channel?

Is England carrying out the
dream talked of in Napoleon s
day of tunneling the English
channel? The practicability of
such tunnel is universally admit.
ted. Nature seemed to have de.
signed such a connection of Eng
land with the Continent Judging
from the geological formation. 1t
is estimated that two such tun-
ncls, placed 63 feet apart, could
be constructed from Shakespeare
Cliff, near Dover to Sangette,
near Calais, for $50, 100000. This
is but fraction of the cost of the
Panama Canal which presented
abnormal engineering Difficult
ties. 1t would pay in times of
peace, for it permits the crossing
of the channel within 40 minutes.
It would obHiatc the necessity OF
loading and unloading passengers
and merchandise.
There arc circumstances that
Indicate that the construction OF
the tunnel is being pushed. There
is a station at each end and it is
known that enough construction
has been done to show feasibility
of the project. A great force OF
men are working at Dover under
conditions of remarkable secrecy.
1t is said that the German general
staff is so thoroughly convinced
that the work is under way that
it is drvising methods Of boring
down through the bottom of the
English Channel, with the hope
of being ablt to destroy the upper
wall of the tunnel.
The military advantage of such
a tunnel cannot be overestinrated.
1t would permit the rushing of
troops from London to the battle
front on the Sommc without cost
of transport and without danger
from mines and submarines. To
say nothing of time and the saw
ing of lives, the tunnel would
pay for itself in the economy Of
handling supplies and in release
of workmen for service in the
army. The development Of aerial
warfare has made complete isola-
ton impossible. The old dread
of the French Selling the English
end, rushing troops into England
no longer remains. 1t has even
given way to the hope that the
French might rush soldiers to
England's relief i'll case of actual
invasion. Commercial and mill
tary considerations combine in
behalf of the tunnel. 1t is not
improbable that it is being con-
structcd.-Globc- Democrat.

PEOPLE DO NOT CATCH
COLDS, BUT HAVE FEVERS
Inflammation of the Nasal Mu-
cous Membrane is the Cause
of This Contagious
Disorder-Germ
Not Known.

common SO-Cdllcu COluo diS
the most widespread and least
dangerous Of all Infections. \ The
term, Catching cold,' hides a
tremendous amount Of ignorance
and relieves many a carless
physician from criticism.
Many persons believe that ex-
posture to cold and drafts pro-
duccs this trouble, hence the term
catching cold" As an actual
matter of fact thermometer will
show that instead of having
caught cold we really have fever.
If person has made a dollhouse
plant of ones self, then exposure
to drafts and cold may do some
harm, but more colds are caught
by going into poorly ventilated
and crowded rooms than by ex-
posture to cold Under these con-
ditions there is often times dry
ness Of the nose and throat, which
certainly makes it more liable to
infection. The normal secretion
of our noses is a protection
against infection, the flow being
outward and washing out dirt
and germs. The action Of this Sc
erection is readily seen when one s
nose is blown after dusty rail-
road trip. Exposure to drafts in
a person not accustomed to an
abundance Of fresh air sometimes
produces a similar result.
"Colds' are unquestionably
contagious. Just what germ pro-
duccs them is not positively
known. 1t seems certain that
several different kinds have the
power, since the "cold' is only
an inflammation Of the nasal
mucous membrane, and is not a
specific disease in the sense that
typhoid fever and tuberculosis
are "Colds' occur in epidemics
and are spread by direct contact
of one person with another.
Sncczing is one way in which
"colds" are usually spread.
Mothers who use the same hand
kerchicf to blow the noses Of a
number of children spread the
disease from one to another.
While "colds' are not cOnsid-
cred dangerous in themselves i'll
the ordinary person, they have a
very bad effect on those who
have consumption or other vast
ing diseases. Further than this,
they cause Il tremendous loss of
time and waste of energy. There
is no more reason for catching
smallpox. There is more excuse
because people have not learned
the Importance of avoiding

Patent medicines under the
name Of catarrh, snuffs and

1916 had failed to make appllca-
ton for renewal Of their licen-
