How to Avoid Bad Colds

Colds are catching" Keep away
from people with colds and grippe
and shun those with 'sniffles" and
coughs. Coughing or sneezing when
indoors o. in crowd, without
catching the spray in handker-
chief, spreads the germs of colds
and other contagious diseases.
Keep healthy, strong and robust
Healthy people ward off colds.
while weak, run down" people
catch them easily. If you have re-
curing colds you should have
medical examination TO find out the
cause. Colds are dangerous, and
pave the way for tuberculosis and
other diseases. Avoid colds or cure
them at once.
HOW TO CURE A BAD COLD.
Begin early. The first symptoms
of an oncoming cold are usually a
slight headache, chilliness. feverish-
ness, running of the nose and eyes,
sneezing. hoarseness and sore throat.
When these symptoms appear take
good dose of some laxative and
at bed time take a hot foot bath
and drink hot water or hot lemon

Cover well and keep warm. If pos
sible remain in bed from Is to "a
hours. Avoid drafts, but be sure
that there is plenty of fresh air in
the room. Eat very little for one
or two meals and then eat plenty
Of fruits. vegetables, Cruel and bulky
foods. Drink plenty of water and
keep the bowels and kidneys active.

Prohibition Is Proving it's Case

Jackson. Miles,. Dec. 81 (Spe-
cial)-That prohibition is proving
| its case in the former wet cities,
where it was predicted that discon-
tent and disorder would follow the
closing of the licensed saloon. is the
assertion of Colonel w. Mcdonald
Lee. of Richmond. National Field
Director of the Anti-saloon League
Prominent business men in Gin
cinnati. Cleveland and Detroit, ac-
cording to Colonel Lee. now admit
that prohibition has been a good
thing and the benefits derived from
it are far greater than had been ex-
pected.
In Cincinnati" says Colonel
Lee, the president of trust COM
pany said: L have changed my
mind as to the effect of prohibition
on the community. We formerly
had as a daily average 800 prisoners
in our workhouse. Now we have
seventy-five. The town is more or
derby than ever.
My manufacturing friends tell
me that Monday morning absentee
ism of workmen because of Satur-
day night and Sunday drinking has
practically disappeared. Savings
bank deposits have greatly in
creased
The total number of prisoners
on the policy correction farms in
Cleveland for June, July, August
and September, 1918" says Colonel
Lee, was 2,O53. That was under
the wet regime In the correspond
ing months of this year, under the
dry law, the total was SS5. In In
dianapolis the workhouse is empty.
Michigan went dry May |, 1918.
In the twelve months preceding
there were IL ,279 arrests Ior drunk
enness in Detroit In the first year
of prohibition there were A OBJ ar
rests for drunkenness in Detroit.
Other law violations have decreased
in proportion. Detroit manufactu-
rers report that they are having
fewer accidents and no Monday
absentees.

What Say You?
According 10 the Tupelo news

According 10 the Tupelo news
papers. they hzye struck oil in
that town. Boring q deep well
for water for the city, the con-
tractor struck oil AZ a depth of
$50 feet. Fire was applied TO the
oil obtained and It burned. The
peculiar sand in which Oil is
found in Texas, Louisiana and
Kentucky was excavated from
the well. indicating that petrole-
um in appreciable quantities ex-
lists underground in that section.
They are boring for oil near
Columbus. the outgrowth of eyi-
denceS of oil in that territory.
Oil to the north of us and Oil to
the south of us indicates that
Oil lies underground beneath us.
This is not theory or anything
new in idea to the editor of this
paper. More than a decade of
years ago, predicated upon evil
dences that Monroe county lies
in the oil district, he. with sew
eral enterprising Aberdeen citi-
zens. procured charter for The
organization Of a gas and oil de-
Velopment company TO have its
home office IN Aberdeen. That
charter can be made effective,
and. if the OIL to the north and
the south of us knocks us down
with indisputable evidence that
we have oil right here in Mon
roe county. enough men may be
found in Aberdeen to rally to
that charter and finance the en-
terprise to make the test by actu-
ally boring for the oil.
A well sunk TO depth of 1000
feet, in all probability, would re-
suit in finding oil. Possibly, a |
we'll of 1000 feet would reach the |
oil bearing sand.
Monroe county Is in straight
line between the oil producing
territory of Kentucky and Co.
lumbus and Tupelo where oil
has been found. or storing cyl
dences of Oil exist.
What say you, member asso-
ciates of the charter procured in
1901. to the organization of an
oil company under that charter?
In the face Of materiaIizing evil
dences that Oh does lie under
of lands in Monroe
how does your pulse
beat ON resnFrecfinR the enter
prise? The charter authorizing
the Oil company has been pro
cured and paid for. You are in
q position to start without initial
expense or delay.
What say you to the sugges-
lion?

David had never been sick a day In
his life, EXCEPT with the humps and
measles when he was youngster.
Nevertheless, when he saw Suse Hope
well, David. decided that he needed
a nurse, not because Suse was nurse
but because Suse was Suse, and her
being a nurse was just incidental.
David was proprietor of jewelry-
phonograph-sewing mediterranean
store, and he first saw Suse when she
entered the place on business. The
business was the purchase Of a sew
ing machine badly needed at the hos
pital.
Now David was a very Ingenious
young man, albeit somewhat reserved
and backward when 1t came to the
business Of wooing. The moment he
saw Suse step into the store the lit
tie engine that operated on his left
side began to work queerly. AS he

then faded away by invisible degrees;
but at seven, from west to east,
"sun Of streamers" appeared across
the sky, undulatlng like the waters of
a ripping stream. A general feeling
of alarm was excited by this phe-
nomenon. The streamers gradually
became dissolved, and flashed away
to the north, attended by a shock
which all felt, but which did no dam.
