LOOK OUT FOR JANUARY COLDS!

We hear: ''Just cod!" But what will it lead to9 The first signs of influenza, pneumo- mia, and other dangerous diseases often mis- taken for ''just cold.''
 This is the time of year when colds most from pneumonia that will occur in January, Feb ruary and March. These diseases which blot out an average of 15O,0O0 lives year in the United States and Alaska frequently develop from neg lected colds. Out of every seven who get pneu- monia one person dies. As many people die each year from pneumonia as from tuberculosis. Year after year the thing happens
 Do not neglect cold A cold in the head Is not simple triflmg annoyance but real dis ease with medical name-coryza. In addition to the danger that pneumonia may develop, cold often leads to chronic catarrh of the nasal pas sages to ear trouble ending in deafness, to chonic bronchitis and inflammation of the bony cavities of the face. A neglected cold may even prepare the way for serious heart trouble.
 The first noticeable symptoms of diphtheria typhoid fever, measles, scarlatina, whoopng cough or smallpox may appear as cold. A person suffering from what seems to be an innocent cold may pass to else fatal attack of of these diseases. If you or your children are
 
 until you certain that the "cold'' Is not in- fectious disease This decent precaution will prevent many serious epidemics and many lives.
 A cold is inflammation of the mucous membrane which settles upon the point of least resstence-the nose, throat, chest, gastrontes tnal tract. Sudden changes in temperature drafts and exposure to damp and cold, breathing stale air and street dust-these direct of colds.
 Lack of fresh air and sufficient exercise to keep the skin and body healthy, lack of sleep and rest overndulgence ill rich indigestible food these are indirect causes of colds.
 To take cold easily is to advertise that your living habits wrong. By following simple health rules you likely to keep we'll. But if in spite of all your care, you do take cold-do not treat it lightly. See your doctor. Remember 1t is not sign of weakness but mark of wisdom to neglect cold.

COUGAR THAT KILLED
 BOY IS TEN FEET LONG

OKANOGAN, Jan. 6.-Hunters on the trail of the man-eating cougar which killed and partially devoured a 13-year-old boy near Oleava the other night, report the animal is a female with two kittens.
 Dogs trailing the animal have come up with it twice, but it refuses to tree, the hunters say. Every in- dication of the hunt, trailers report, is that the cougar is of enormous size, probably ten feet in length.
 The trail circled through the mountain country to the south and back within a quarter of mile of the scene of the battle in which the boy met his death. Further snow now indicated will make further trailing difficult.

THE ATTIC TREASURY

If our great -grandmothers-or even our grand mothers-were to go shopping in an antique store of today they would be amazed. A hundred dol lars for one of those old crazy quilts they used to stitch by the yellow light of kerosene lamp for economys dour sake And there's lamp lige the they used to by. Just a simple piece of blown pressed glass. Such trash cost two or three dollars when it new fifty or six ty years ago. How much? Land of Goshen! Fifteen dollars for that piece of secondhand glass!
 Here's a kitchen chair, nothing more than a sq,latty stool with a high straight back and a coarse woven rush seat. The rungs between the front legs are half through where generations of boot heels have clung and scraped. The man who made those chairs wuoldn't dare ask more than dollar two for them. The antique deal CT will sell them today for anything from ten to thirty dollars apiece. If the heirs or our great grandparents had only known this when they dragged them from the dusty attic and handed them over to the junkman for quarter per chair!
 Look at that bed in the It will take check in three figures to get 1t home. It's four tall posts are crudely carved from maple. It's frame is bored at intervals with holes for the lac ing in of the rope web that served for springs in the balmy days of it's youth It is held togeth- CT by an obsolete system of countersunk welts, and to get 1t apart you must have your black smith forge special wrench. It's headboard is hand-fashioned slab of cheap white pine or but ternut wood Our grandmothers paid twenty dollars, perhaps for beds better than this one. You may have 1t, Is, for hundred and fifty, and it will cost you another fifty to fit it with modern springs and good hair mat tress.
 All through the shop old pieces, the despis- ed and decrepit cast-offs from the homes of our forbears, dragged from thousand attic treasures, sold for song, and now offered to the cultured and discriminating consideration of the private antiquarian who is anxious to acquire them for his home than our grandmothers were to cast them out of theirs.
 Fifty years ago sths stuff was just second hand furniture Today it is "a collection of rare old pieces.'' It has achieved the dignity and value of antiquity.
 Which suggests practical moral. Don't sell your worn-out furniture. Hide it in the attic, the woodshed the cear or the garage. It may be nothing but cheap Grand Rapids stuff today But day, who knows, it will perhaps become antique. Never mind how ugly it seems to you Keep it. Leave it in trust with you children and your children's children, to be delivered in free title to your descendants of the third or fourth generation. By then it will probably constitute fortune-unless human nature changes and our passion for historic bric-a-br dies out

CONGRESS
To- ACT
OMIT
Proposal Would Put End to
Georgetown Co.'s Present
Financial Troubles

Consolidation of the Washing
ton and Georgetown Gaslight
Companies will be sought in a
bill which will be presented to
Congress during the next session,
was was learned today.
At the request of the Public
Utilities Commission, Earl V.
Fisher, secretary to the commits
sion has drawn up the tentative
bill.
At previous sessions of Con-
gress it has been proposed that
the gas companies be allowed to
merge with the view of eliminat-
ing much of the office work of the
companies and to permit the ex-
tension of mains.
Georgetown Financial TangIe
In view of the fact that the
Washington Gas Light Company
now owns practically all the Stock
OF the Georgetown company it is
thought that the proposed merger
would not be a violation of the La
Toilette Anti-merger law of March
1913.
The Georgetown Gaslight Com
pany is having trouble financing
several of the recent projects which
have been authorized by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, and 1t Is
believed that merger would re-
lieve the strain on the Golfers OF
that company.
With a heavy bond issue now in
the hands of purchasers, the is
suance of stocks of the two COM
panies would provide funds for fur
Their extensions, it is pointed out.
The proposed measure will prob
ably be in the hands of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission early next
week.
Legal points in the bill will be
troned out by Corporation Counsel
lF'rancis II. stephens before the
measure goes to Congress.

A|NUNDSEN PAYS
RESPECTS To
COOLIDGE
Doughty Arctic Explorer Will
Be Dinner Guest of Nor
wegian Minister

Road Amundsen, celebrated
Arctic explorer. opened brief visit
to Washington by calling upon
President Coolidge today.
True to his traditional taciturnity.
Captain Amundsen maintains a dis
Greet silence about what he told
the President, or what the President
told him in a laconic interview. The
doughty explorer declined to say
single word upon that topic.
1t is understood, however, that
he thanked the President for his
expression of Americas interest
in his recent airplane flight into
the arrtic region, and for the fact
that the President was willing TO
furnish American aid, IL necessary.
when the captain and his party
were lost in the icy wastes as a re-
suit of the descent of his plane
near the North Pole.
Captain Amundsen still retains
faith that the airplane will be of
use in the future for arctic explora-
ton. Under present conditions,
however, landing difficulty makes
it impossible to employ planes to
advantage in polar flights.
THE dirgible may be of use,
said Captain Amundsen upon leav-
ing the White House, but I would
not think of trying a flight with
an airplane."
The Norwegian explorer had moth
ing more to say regarding his
adventure last summer He is a
stalwart, powerfully built man,
well along in the sixties. but retain
ing much of the force and muscle
of youth. He was accompanied
to the White House by the Nor
wegian minister to the United
States, H. H. Bryn, who will give
a dinner for Amundsen at the Nor
wegian legation tonight Captain
Amundsen lectures at Polls Theater
this afternoon.
