TAKE NO CHANCES WITH COLDS

While there is no cause for alarm
at this time, health authorities urge
extra precaution - especially now,
when grippy colds. pneumonia and
influenza are so prevalent.
Colds Lead to "Flu"
Warning is given particularly
against neglecting colds. which lower
ones physical resistance and thus
make the body easy prey for infiu-
enza. grip and pneumonia. Even a
little cold. authorities say, is dan
serous unless checked at once.
A safe plan is to check every cold
at the start by a vigorous applica-

BY DONALD 4. CRAIG.

January 30, 1199.-Daniel Carroll and
other residents of the eastern section
of the city are protesting vigorously
against the action OF Thomas Monroe,
new city postmaster. in removing the
city post Office today from square I25
at East Capitol and First streets TO
the north side Of F street. between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets
northwest. They are preparing an ap-
peal to the Postmaster General against
any removal of the Office from the east
ern part of the city near the Capitol,
It Is understood. however. that the
Postmaster General regards the location
on F street as one of the best that can
be found. because it Is so near the
center of the city.
In the present scattered population
OF the city he has explained. no spot
can be fixed that would not be extreme
ly remote from. and inconyenient to. a
few other inhabitants"
Mr. Monroe. who has been clerk to
the City Commissioners. vas appointed
postmaster to succeed Lund Washing
ton, jr. who was found to be short II
his accounts and dismissed. 1t is
generally understood that Mr.. Wash
ington's troubles were due to his in
temperate habits.
His new duties as postmaster will not
prevent Mr.. Munroe from continuing
his work as clerk TO the Commissioners
The greatest number Of buildings be-
tween the Capitol and the President
House are found on r street. between
Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets north
west. and it Is for this reason that Mr.
Munroe has selected that vicinity for
the post office. with the approval OF the
Postmaster General The residents of
that section insist that Mr. Munroe has
acted wisely They include DR. William
Thornton and John Templeton, who Is
building a house on r street.

A Sermon for Today
Blessed Forgiveness.
RY REV. JOHN X. CHM.

Text: Blessed is he whose trans
erosion is forgiven Psalms. xxxii.l.
There is nothing that makes man
more nervous, restless and uneasy than
the consciousness of unforgiven sin.
You cannot quiet the disturbances OF
a guilty conscience by keeping your
sin hidden and being silent about H..
Referring to the time OF ms great trans
erosion. familiar to all Bible readers,
David saws: When I kept silence. my
bones .xaxed old through my roaring
ali the day long For day and night
thy hand was heavy upon me: my
moisture is turned into the drought OF
Summer"
Never did David find relief until he
confessed his sin and sought divine lor-
giveness. Telling OF this. he says: i
acknowledged my sin unto Thee ano
mine iniQuity have ! not hid. SAID
/ will confess my transgressions unto
the Lord; and Thou forgasest the In
EQUITY OF my sin"
What a load was lifted from Davios
heart when he made a clean breast OF
his sin and was assured OF Gods for
giyeness. Many a night his head mac
lain upon an uneasy pillow. through
many a day he had gone with the bark
ing dogs OF guilty conscience at nus
heels. Now all was changed. Gone
was that heavy and uneasy feeling IN
his heart. Gone was that oppressed
spirit that had for SO long made his
nights sleepless and his days wretched
He seemed to be living in q different
world. No wonder he cries. Blessed Is
he whose transgression Is forgiven.
Is there anything in your life oreak-
Ing your peace and making your exist.
ence miserable? Do as David did, and
YOU. too. will soon be crying out.
"HIessed Is he whose transgression Is
forgiven"

RY THE cot NSELLOR.

Henry Swift had been a stakeholder
of the Pleasant Theater Co, a corpora
ton. for three years. During that time
no dividends had been declared on the
stock of the corporation.
Conducting an investigation. Swift
learned that the officers of the corpora
ton were repurchasing the stock from
number of credulous and ignorant
owners far below its par value. He
also learned that the company was do
ing a big business. Swift thereupon
demanded that the officers render an
accounting of the business.
When the demand was refused. Swift
went to the Offices of the corporation
with his own accountant and requested
that he be allowed to inspect the books.
This request failing, Swift instituted
mandamus proceedings to enforce his
right as stakeholder to examine the
books The company opposed the suit
on the ground that the stockholders
right of inspection was not being exer-
cised in good faith.
But the court ordered the books to
be shown to Swift. declaring:
"a stakeholder has a right at COM
mon law to inspect and examine the
books and records OF the corporation
at a proper time and place and Tor a
proper purpose. In many States. TINS
right is further secured by statutory or
constitutional provisions"
