II an individual has a chronic low
grade inflammation in the lining of

catarrh, though the word is meaning
less), any temporary disturbance OF
the circulation is likely to increase
the discomfort in the nose temporar-
lily, and the thoughtless victim jumps
to the conclusion that he has taken
cold" Unfortunately this notion is
wholly imaginary, for normal indi-

temporary circulatory disturbances as
are produced by drafts, change OF
weather, dampness, wet feet or chill

familiar symptoms of chronic rhinitis
is just this sensitiveness OF the patti

stated, chronic rhinitis Is SO very

young people living sedentary indoor

mately 1880 or $4,000. The to-
tai crop last year was about
900, as compared with a crop
1914 of about 1900 bales. The
