Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to "beware of q
cold," but why? We will tell you. Every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vital
ity'and paves the way for the more seri-
ocs diseases. People who contract pneu-
monia first take cold. The longer cold
hangs on, the greater the danger. espe-
cially from the germ diseases, as cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the germs of con-
sumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever. and
whooping cough. The quicker you get
rid of your cold. the less the danger of
contracting one of these diseases. Cham
berlain's Cough Remed3 has great rep
utation as cure for colds and can be
depended upon. 1t is pleasant to take.

Miss Webb At 7. H. S.
Tells OF Need For Y. w. G. A.

Workers Here And Abroad.
Miss Ethel w. Webb, of the World
Program Staff of the Young Women's
Christian Association, spoke at the Thur
mont High School last Thursday on the
World Needs of Women and Girls. and
the part the Young Women's Christian
Association is playing in meeting these
needs. She outlined the services of the
association during the war to the girls
working in munitiOn factories, and to the
women visitors at the army camps.
The expansion of the work to France
was characterized by the same efticien-
cy as in this country. Work was under
taken for the American army nurses.
welfare workers and signal corps girls
in France, and at the request OF the
French government, the services of the
association were extended to French mu-
milton workers by means of recreation
centers called foyers, the French equiv
alent for home. These were the only
cheerful and restful places the girls could
60 to after their long hours of tense
work in making munitions.
The foyers in France attracted such
widespread interest that requests came
from other countries of Europe for Y.
w. c. A. demonstration centers in their
lands. The association is meeting these
demands as fast as it can.
The program of the association in the
United States has been greatly expanded
to meet conditions brought absut by the
war. To further this work, a national
campaign of So, 600, 900 has been inaugu-
rated Miss Webb says Frederick coun-
ty wants to go over the top. In Fred
erick city the committee in charge wish
the amount raised to be a memorial to
Miss Mary Mantz Gittinger, Frederick
girl who was in Y. w. G. A. work until
her death three weeks ago. The COM
mittee is raising $l.250 to establish a
Mary Mantz Gittinger Memorial Scholar
ship for Chinese girl to train as Sec
retary. The High School girls are also
out to provide a moving picture outfit
for the Y w. C. A. in Kobe, Japan, in
Miss Gttinger's memory.
At the conclusion of Miss Webb's talk,
the class presidents and girl from each
class met and decided to try to raise $lOO
to help with the new Physical Education
School for girls in Shanghai. China.
Miss Ethel Amman has charge of the
collecting of funds in the High School
and in Thurmont. She is assisted by a
