GERMAN PROPAGANDA

Stockholm. Mar. 25.-The pro-

Italians All in If

Practically every woman in ITALY
from sixteen to sixty is a war nurse
or a volunteer war worker, and the
whole nation is feeling the beneficent
throb of their activity" Count v.
Machhi De Cellere said in an address
before the Continental Congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton.
Our women in Italy, though not
politically organized or prepared for
service, had within their hearts and
minds the hereditary tradition of the
struggle for liberty, and nationality
and have stepped forward, falling into
line with marvellous efficiency and
unanimity, backing the men in the
army from royal palace to munition
plant.
"They have undertaken the task of
looking after the soldiers families, as
well as reconstructing and refitting
for useful lives the disabled men, of
giving hands to the fields as well as
to the factory"

scarce mediocre suit cost $500, and

just before the armistice was con-
Guided, as related to the correspon-
dent by the last American to leave
Austria. He is member of the di-
plomatic service, who was assigned to
remain at the Austrian capital when
war was declared, and has just come
to Switzerland.
No story yet told Of conditions in
Vienna can ever remotely approx
mate actual facts as described by
this eyewitness, whose account was
given, perhaps unconsciously, a
dramatic climax by the declaration
that, despite the indescribable suf-
ferings and hardships, Vienna still
has horse racing, attended by greater
crowds than in peace times. These
crowds walk eight miles to the race
tracks and bet thousands of crowns
instead of hundreds, as formerly, in
their feverish desire to forget the
misery caused by the war.

REGARD COLD AS SERIOUS
Medical Authority Warns Against Con-

Taken by Those Afflicted.

The ultrawise citizen of male per
suasion devotes part of the sweltry
summer days to the unsympathetic
task of selecting his winter overcoat-
a wise and sometimes money-saving
piece of foresight. Other perspiring
ones are buying coal In summer pre-
pare for winter. 1t is probably in this
spirit that the very midsummer mum.
Der of Boston Medical and Surgical
cal Journal touches upon the Decem-
berry subject of colds, and it is pre-
cisely in this spirit that we translate
a few injunctions from the medical
writing of DR.. d. G. bennett in the
Journal.
I" Treat colds early and carefully.
Colds are simply the first stages of
pneumonia, tuberculosis and many
other ailments. When you have a
cold you are in the beginning of
serious disease, which may develop If
you neglect 1t. In military camps the
order is that colds be reported upon
the appearance Of first symptoms.
Z Do not poke cold with medicated
cotton on a stick. Do not take aspirin
except for pain. Do not spray cold.
DO not take quinine and whisky, but
treat cold seriously because it is a
serious disease. Consult doctor.
