You Must Beware of the Contagious Cold

often hear when you inquire after .

And il is also this state Of "Iittlc cold
that is so contagious In a household. In
variably a cold goes the rounds in a
family, each one getting il In turn.
Now, though so many OF us do real
ize the danger of continual colds and of
their eontagion, we take no preventive
measures to sidestcp them. Granted it
is difficult thing to keep a cold segre-

impossible AT the first signs OF cold,
the person suffering from Il shorld re-

giving it TO others. Stop kissing The

A person having cold should not
sleep with any one else. There is always
an extra cot. or should be, in every
house. where bed-fellows can be sep
arated in times pf illness like this.
Utensils, towels, dishes, etc. of those
suffering from cold should be carefully

rather careless family numbers her

national Peace, just issued, which
places the world aggregate at $33I-
OOO,OO0,00O.
Few will not be stunned by the
brutality OF the figures which show
that the economic loss by the killing
of 9,99S,771 men was the largest sin
gle cost item of the war-$83.551.-
EGGS This total is arrived at
through the accepted standards of the
value Of human life in the various
countries contributing to this sicken-

$29, 900, 100000, while, after al that
was said of the enormous losses on
shipping, the value of property de-
stroyed at sea was the lowest of the
three main items, amounting to &c.

RAILROAD PAY.

An article printed last week in the
local labor paper stated that the
average annual pay of car inspectors,
the hammer men one sees tapping
wheels at depots, is $2,1O0, under gov
eminent management, for eight-hour
day duty, and that 4,140 more are EN-
management of the roads. It would
be very interesting to learn the scale
paid to all brotherhood employees
who have been seeking increases, in a
conference during the past week AS
the people are paying for the railway
service, there ought to be general
knowledge as to compensation, that
fairness to both sides may prevail.
