Health Talks
Don't Fear Draft


If you would keep a cold away
don't be afraid of a draft. Despite
the old idea about drafts, the slogan
of today is, Let in the fresh air ana
let out the cold germ"
Why is it that health authorities
rule that at least two windows be
kept open in all street cars during
the coolest winter weather? Because
health authorities know that the
'fu" germ cannot do its work IN
fresh air.
One often hears a person say, y
sat in a draft and caught a cold"
This statement is only partly true.
The truth of the matter was that
the sufferer remained for too long
a time in a stuffy, overheated, lie
ventilated room. overate, and other.
wise disregarded bodily hygiene;
then put himself in a strong current
of moving air.
He caught cold not because he
was exposed to the breeze, but be-
cause he had lowered his body
vitality and body resistance. In
other words, the sudden strain put
upon the body was greater than Its
machinery was equal to. This made
it possible for the cold germs to
enter the blood stream and start
trouble.
Tie body cannot battle successful-
ly against cold germs if the organs
of waste are not working properly.
The body waste must be carried
away in order that the blood stream
does net become clogged and pol
soned.
Poor drainage in the air passages
of the nose or enlarged tonsils and
adenoids may result in chronic colds.
Consulting a physician is the best
way to remedy such a condition be-
| fore it causes something more sert-
GUS.
To prevent colds and coughs re-
member to:
Keep windows open. allowing free
circulation of fresh air.
Take plenty of rest and exercise,
breathing plenty of pure air regular
ly.
Avoid ~overeating, overwork and
worry.

several hundred feet high, and from
there northward to Canada with
only a few miles of narrow lowlands
between the sea and the hills or
mountains by way of exception, the
coast is bold and rugged. Parts of
it are what biologists call a drown
ed coast where mountains have
sunk SO that the water meets their
steep slopes. Parts are 'uplifted
coasts where mountains once under
the sea have partly emerged, and
their slopes are still Tapped by the
ave.
1T is the mountainous and bold
character of the Pacific coast which
sets it off most distinctly from the
coast of the Atlantic. From a point
fifty miles north of San Francisco
one may sail northward for hum
dreds of miles alongside bluffs and
promontories, finding hardly n In
dentations of importance. 1t was
this region which made the Span
iards despair, before they discover
ed San Francisco bay, of finding
that essential to commerce in all
ages, a safe, commodious port. To-
day the problem has been solved
on a small scale al least by the
construction of cable tramways ex-
tending from the heights to outlying
rocks. But lack of ports and the
roughness of the country immedi-
ately inland have held back the de-
velopment of much Of coastal north
ern California. 7
North of the main bulge of the
Pacific coast, Cape Mendocino,
small bays are more numerous in
California, Oregon and Washington,

have been built and considerable
commercial development has taken
place. Finally, at the mouth of the
Colombia river, over 500 miles north
of the Golden Gate, a good deep
water hrabor is reached at Astoria.
Ocean vessels may even ascend the
river to Portland nearly 100 miles
inland.
More than $50 miles north of San
Francisco is the ten mile wide strait
of Juan de Fuca. the entrance to
Puget sound the great sunken val
ley which carries deep water for
more than a hundred miles into the
heart of the state of Washington,
and affords many miles of match
less land-locked harbors. The cen
ter of the entrance to the Strait
Of Juan de Fuca is the northern
boundary on the Pacific of the Unit
ed States proper.
After an interval of nearly coo
miles where British Columbia fronts
on the Pacific, the Pacific coast re-
gion again becomes territory of the
United States as the southernmost
point of Alaska is reached. For
more than a thousand miles to the
roots of the Alaska peninsula the
waters of the Pacific battle the
shores of this territory, and for an
even greater distance the long arm
of the peninsula and the Aluetian
Islands off it's point sweep out into
the pecan. Practically al of this
seaboard is a drowned coast rug
ged beyond description. with count
less bays, CULTS. islands and chan
nels. When all these convolutions
are counted Alaska has more than
5000 miles of coast line. The
shores south of the peninsula r fol-
the most part heavily wooded often
to the very waters edge. Snow clad
mountains tower above ships as they
sail through the inland passages and
glaciers discharge a never-ending
succession of icebergs into some OF
the bays

PARALLELS OF
SAFED THE SAGE

Once upon a time there was a rail-
way, which ran it's trains upon a
rock ballasted right of way with steel
rails and a heavy bond issue.
And there dwelt in a part of the
country through which the railway
ran an humble and inoffensive ami
NAL called a skunk. And the skunk
established, for his own convenience
a erade crossing. And he thought
that he had as good right to cross
the track in one direction as the
trains had to ross it in another. And
so far as I know he vas correct. But
he and the railroad never came 10
an agreement as to their operating
schedule.
And it came to pass upon a day
that he crossed the track at grade,
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-09-10

or attempted to cross it. And the
result was attended with consider
able inconvenience to himself and
to the train. For the skunk died,
and for the next two hours the pas
sengers upon the train were aware
that something had occurred.
Now I was among those present.
and it was summer. and the Windows
of the car were opened, land 1t
seemed that we were never to be
allowed to forget the occurrence.
And we would willingly have had the
engineer stop the train until the
skunk got across rather than that
ne should have done what he did.
And as for the skunk, there were
whole hours in which there were
no trains passing, and in which he
might have used his grade crossing

NEW YORK. April 6.-Only two
real looking finds have been dug up
SO far by the spring test Of last falls
bush crop.
More than the usual number came
up for trial with the major lea que
clubs this season and more than
usual will remain in fast company
not because OF striking ability but
because there were more jobs open
than usual
Toporcer, the gogEled second base
man Of the st. Louis Cardinals and
Joe Tierney, smuggling infelder picked
up by the Pittsburg Pirates were
the only ones who stepped in and
took a job under real competition.
The Cincinnati Reds picked Up a
valuable trio in Bohne. Fonseca and
Hargrace. Bohne and Fonseca,
had to be taken because Pat Moran
had no one else for second and third
base as a result Of his holdouts.
The New York Yankees have a
fine looking Young shOrtstop in
Johnny Mitchell brought up from
the Pacific Coast league. but Miller
Higgins has SUCH a crowd of in
fielders that it looks as if he will
have TO warm the bench for most Of
the season.
The Giants made a find in Goldie
Rapp who came up from the as
ISOLATION. but he stepped into an
open job. Rapp is no kid. however,
Hes % years old and has been up
before.
Ty Copp has Lew Blue, who is
making his second bid for major
league honors at first base for the
Tigers
Lee Foil is trying to fill the shoes
Of Joe GedeOn with Bill Gleason a
% year old prospect from Chatta-
nooga He also fell into an emery
ency job.
Frank BRAZIL, a hard hitting
youngster, perhaps will make the
first base job for Connie Mack's ath-
letics but he likewise came at a
time when Mack would gamble with
most any prospect.
The Chicago White SOX are forced
to give whole raft of rockies a
chance TO fill the places made va
cant by the Punishment Of the

Brooklyn and Cleveland. last
years champions, have practically
no faces banking entirely upon the
veterans who weathered the long
fight last season.
