Colds and How TO Prevent Them

THE condition that we usually call a cold
l. is really not a cold at ALL II is heat
rather than O. cold. ono does not catch"
cold instead. the cold catches the victim
and gives him a fever.
One catches a cold because for some
reason the skin lacks resistance. Apply n.
cold-vater compress TO n PERSONS head for
several hours and he will begin TO COM
plain that his forehead IS soro and pain
ful; ho viii have neuralgia pains IN his
forehead the skin and tho flesh become
sore. Sometimes IL is necessary 10 keep an
leo bag over the heart When tho ice bag
has been kept there half an hour two or
three times day for two or three weeks
the patient, in most cases, begins to COM
plain of soreness IN that particular region.
That pain IS called rheumatism" for lack
Of a better term. II Is not rheumatism at
all, but simply a painful. sensitive condi-
tion due 10 the lowering of the blood tenn
perature In that region, which permitted
the waste matters 10 accumulate I'm these
tissues, and as "a result tho nerves aud
other tissues have become abnormaly sem

Thus an a general way we may say that
the cause for taking an ordinary cold IS
lowering of the temperature Of the blood.

needed TO keep tho body warm, so 1T Is
necessary that the body should be cooled
and perspiration is simply Che effort OF tho
body to cool itself. Bathing the skin with
water and allowing the water TO evaporatc
also has the effect Of cooling the skin.
Now when the perspiring Individual
ceases TO exercise and sits down the effect
Is that OF putting out a fire or blowing out
q light, The extra generation OF heat ceases
SO the evaporation goes on without any
extra heat being produced, because tho
skin Is wet and the clothing contains moi5-
ture and tho evaporation causes chilling
Of the body.
It takes but few minutes to produce
this result; then I'm order TO warm tho
body up, tho MUSCLES arc sct Into spas

sueczirg, which arc signs Of a general
spasn,
When one sueczcs he does not sncczo

tho floor. There is n jump Of tho whole
body. II would be quito impossible 70 hold

contraction of these muscles, with an cNplO-

have taken cold Your temperature has

Now If YOU want to help nature. the
host way is to keep right on exercising.
You feel Il little shiver started here and

The State of Maine has Just decided by vote Of two
to one that il would not be good for women to vote
This vote represents the opinion OF the women OF
the state.
This has always been the decision when there has
been full discussion both sides, as in West Virginia
The advocates Of woman suffrage are always opposed to
a vote of the people, even OF the women but try to
crowd it through the State Legislature when nobody is
on hand to argue the matter, as in Illinois.
Womens voting would do one good thing-it would
silence all who think women are not smart enough to
work politics!
But it would destroy the balance and division OF
work between the male and female created he
them" Il would be strain for women to do their
own work and the work Of men also. And It would de-
grade men to resign their natural special duties
And it would dissolve the sweet partnership we call
the family The noble and conscientious woman
the more she would feel her duty oppose her hus
band il she thought him wrong in politics. They might
start out agreeing but issue along and they
feel it their duty fight each other like Roosevelt and
Root.
Under the family arrangement each man is the rep
resenatve OF all the interests OF the family and the rus
tee guardian and representative Of his mother who train
ed him. his sister who came up by his side and his wife
who elected him as her voter. The women most power
fully influence all government proceedings in their prin-
cipes while not haggng with the details Think OF the
influence of women in the Civil War; yet they never
thought OF voting!
On the other hand SO far women abandon their
own sweet mnistrations in the family circle and come
into excements of politics they become at least as excit
able and selfish as men, 1t women voted they would
picket the White House till they captured all the oces
We wish to see all the interests of women carefully
provided for by the but it is better that this
should be done by the willing votes OF men than by the
nervous exertions of women whose ministrations we
need in other ways
