Why Colds are Dangerous.

You are often told to "beware
Of cold," but why? We will tell
you: Every cold weakens the
lungs, lowers the vitality and
paves the way for the more ser
ious diseases. People who contract
pneumonia first take cold. The
longer cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as a cold prepares
the system for the reception and
Development Of the germs Of con
sumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and whooping cough. The quick
er you get rid of your cold, the
less the danger of contracting one
o. these diseases. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy has a great repu-
'atlon as a cure for colds and
can be depended upon. 1t is
pleasant to take.

CHANGE IN POLICY DOES
NOT MEAN RECOGNITION
Of SOVIET GOVERNMENT

PARIS. Jan. 17.-The allies have
apparently adopted "A complete new
attitude toward Russia. The supreme
council announced the blockade
against Russia will be lifted immedi-
ateiy. The councils action. In the
view OF many political observers, con-
stituted a direct about-face from the
former policy. The council decreed
10 permit the importation and distri-
button of merchandise. as well as ce-
reals. linseed oil. wood and other Rus
sian products. II is believed in some
quarters the new policy does not mean
any change in attitude toward the
soviet government. II is pointed out
the allies may hope to deal with a
great cooperative society directly, ig-
noring the government.
Some observers even believe It may
indicate an attempt TO divorce the
Russian people from their radical
leaders. but the general opinion is the
power OF Lenine and Trotsky is too
strong to be shaken by any such move
as lifting the blockade.
