Although we call them "commo1
colds" the various nose and throat i'll
fections which prevail so widely in the
glorious Springtime, the truth is, as
every doctor knows, that these all
ments are not caused by cold weather
or cold air or anything like that. They
are caused by our loving friends. We
catch "cold" in precisely the same
way that we catch diphtheria, by ex-
posure to a previous case in another
person.
Here is little lesson which should
be taught every child in school:

FIGHT AGAINST
GERMAN PAPERS

A vigorous campaign to bring about
the elimination of the teaching of Ger
man in the public schools of the coun-
try and to obtain the discontinuance
of the publication of newspapers print
ed in German has been launched by
the National Security League. To or
ganize it's effort for these ends the
League has formed a Committee on
Foreign Language and Foreign Press,
which will carry the fight into every
nook and corner of the United States.
The Committee is composed OF Col. !
Charles e. Lydecker, member Of the
Board of Trustees of the College or
the City of New York and Chairman
of the National Security Leagues
Board of Directors Edward II. Clark,
Treasurer of the Security League;
Ernest G. Brown, well known New
York editor and publisher, and DR..
Robert M. McElroy, Educational direc-
tor Of the National Security League
under leave of absence from Princeton
University, where he is head Of the
Department of History and Politics.
Stop Advertising.
The principal basis of the Commit
tees campaign against German news
papers will be the obtaining of the dis
continuance of advertising in them.
Col Lydeckers committee has laid
the following plan of campaign before
the Chairmen and Secretaries of all
the PSI branches of the Security
League:
There is no immediate need to
have laws enacted to suppress the
foreign language dailies. In towns
where there is a strong patriotic senti-
ment hostile minority should be per-
suaded by clear and forceful express
sion of the views of the majority that
ours must be, from this time forward,
a one language nation.
"See Our Mistake"
"If a community will not support a
newsdealer who handles the daily pa
pers printed in foreign tongues it can
thereby force him to deal only in Eng
lish language papers.
"Recognizing general willingness
TO be patriotic and the rapid acqui-
escence from many quarters to compel
the use of English dailies, we urge
reasonably active measures on the part
of the branches of the League. JUS
tice requires this, for the fault does
not lie wholly with the alien. We have
failed hitherto to provide the machin-
cry of education which the welding
process required. We have counte-
nanced and even encouraged the idea
of preserving linguistic and racial
groups in our midst. At last we see
our mistake, and we must correct it as
speedily as justice will allow.
But we must not forget, and we
must not allow alien enemies to for
get, that this Is a time of war. Quick
processes of producing unity are Justi-
fed by the peril of those institutions
which we hold in trust for all human
ity.

EVERY COLD is CAUSED BY
TRANSFER OF GERMS FROM
ONE PERSON TO AN
OTHER
OTHER.

How are the germs transferredE on
that is easy enough. The open-tace
sneeze does the trick. The unmuzzled
cough does it. A kiss will do 1t as
sure as shooting.
Careful scientific tests have repeat
edly shown that when we sneeze,
cough, laugh or talk without holding
a handkerchief over the nose and
mouth, fine, invisible spray of saliva
or secretion from the nose is given OIL,
and this spray carries, as rule, for
some four or five feet from the face.
Therefore, if a susceptible person sits
or stands within five feet from the pa
tient who has simple cold" or SIM
ple sore throat, and the patient
sneezes or coughs openly, the fine
droplets of moisture may carry direct
ly to that susceptible PERSONS nose or
mouth, and tomorrow the victim vii
discover that he has been foolish
enough to leave off his overshoes Or
sit in a draft or something like that.
At any rate, by tomorrow the germs
have got him, and he has some KIND
of alleged cold"
Now, if every mothers son and
fathers daughter of us were consc1en-
tious enough and polite enough to muz-
gle the mouth and nose when sneez
ing or coughing, with handkerchief
folds of cloth, or even the hand #
there isn't time to get out these other
things, why, the patient with cold"
would not be a menace to all his as
sociates.
In well-conducted hospitals for men

monia and other diseases known to be
spread through discharges from nose

LAST LYCEUM NUMBER.

Lecturer at the Grand
April 3.

The last number of the DEBORAH
Lyceum Course will be given at the
Grand Wednesday evening, April 8,
when Frederick Monsen, artist, ex-
Iplorer, and lecturer will appear here
in his lecture on Turbulent Mex
ico'. Season ticket holders will use
tickets they now hold for this lee
ture. All the door sales and reserv-
ed seat sales will be donated to the
Red Cross fund. Reserved seats are
on sale at e. j. Parman's drug
store at so cents. and the lecture
starts at 8:15 p. m. The follow
ing about the lecture is from the
San Francisco Bulletin:
Frederick Monsen's recent Jour
ney in Mexico, together with his
many years experience in that
country, has qualified him to speak
with authority and with a sympathe-
tic understanding of the people and
the causes that have led up to the
condition Of unrest that now exists.
AS an ethnologist he has studied the
Indian at close range, visited many
of their rancherias and made many
friends among them.
"Mr. Monsen says the real prob
lem in Mexico today is feudalism,
the despoilment of the lands and en-
slavement Of the Indians by the
white man; and until these lands
have been restored to their aborigin-
al owners there will be strife in
Mexico. The graphic way Mr.. Nom
sen tells the story of his personal
experiences, and the remarkable
slides that illustrate the lecture,
have made it one of his greatest
successes. San Francisco Bulletin.

payments on the Third Liberty
Loan from persons who are
desirous of starting their pay

Appreciated

The entertainment given by
,he Howard Concert Compan
1T the Methodist church on
Tuesday evening was one of the
pest musical mum bers which has
been given this season The
audience was not as large as it
should have been but it was ap
oreciative which made up for
she small NUM- ber.
The violin music rendered by
Prof. John Howard was especi-
lIy worthy of mention for he
'endered- many of the old time
compositions in a very fine man
Ter. He put great emotion and
ceiling into every piece.
He was accompanied by his
wife as pianist and Miss Ger
trude Mossler and the several
numbers rendered by the two
were very pleasing.
Should this company return
to the city again they will be as
sured of crowded house.

for so long a time without being
discovered.

Ashland Tar and Feather Parties to
be Investigated by State
Governor Says Laws Of State are Sufficient
to Bring DislOyalists
to Justice.

Madison, Wis.,, April %. Gov
ernor e. l.. Philip today directs
ed the Attorney Generals office
to send a legal representative to
Ashland to make an investigation
of the two tar and feather bees
which have been held there with
in the past few days. The action
is taken upon complaint of the
citizens of Ashland. mo man
or class of men can take unto
themselves the duties OF the
courts of Wisconsin and mete
out punishment" says Governor
Philip today. IF there are
.disloyal citizens in Ashland the
courts are open and they will be
prosecuted. But the men1who
think they can conduct tar and
feather bees in this state Dwill
find that the courts are open to
proceed against them. | have
directed that the Attorney Gen.
eral send a representative to
Ashland to make full investl-
cation and if these tar and
feather bees have been held as
complained of there will be
prosecutions, regardless of who
it hits. Peace and order is going
to reign in Wisconsin"
While Governor Philip re-
fused to make known the names
of persons complaining they are
known to the prominent people
of Ashland. Attached to one OF
the complaints was a newspaper
story from a local paper telling
in detail Of one of the tar and
feather episodes. While no ap-
pointment has been made by At
torney General Haven as to who
shall go, the probability is that
the appointment will fall on w.
w. Gilman, who has always been
the close advisor of the governor
on many matters of this kind.
