the District of Columbia, tells the
10, 400 employees how to prevent colds.
The common cold. DR.. Bristol says,
being the common enemy OF human
ity, requires an uncommon amount of
common sense to combat it. Remem-
Der, he says, that the chief thing you
can do to prevent cold is to build
up general body resistance through:
living and working in properly ven
tilated quarters; avoiding sudden chill
ing of the body due to scant clothing
or wet feet; taking regular exercise
in the open air; daily cool sponge,
shower or tub bath; about eight hours
sleep out of every twenty-four; ade-
quate and regular elimination; a diet
suitable in quantity and including the
important vitamins found in milk,
egg yolk, butter, green vegetables and
fresh fruits; drinking from six to
eight glasses of water daily; correc-
ton of abnormal nose or throat con-
ditions, such as enlarged tonsils and
adenoids; and avoidance of unneces-
sary contact with person who has
a cold.
In addition to a comparative free
dom from colds, another summer
health factor which every one should
encourage taking over into the win
ter is enough fresh air and good ven
tilation in homes and places of work.
Clean air, and air with chemical
composition within reasonably normal
limits, is necessary for satisfactory
ventilation, but, remember that it is
more Immediately important to ven
tilate in the interest of the heat
regulating mechanism of the body.

Fighting Men Quick to
Appreciate the Horse

It Is generally held that the horse
came originally from beyond the Euph-
rates, in Armenia, where Noah's ark
was stranded, and where the ass still
runs wild. It's value, as war charg-
er and chariot or cavalry horse, soon
caused it to be tanned and exported to
other countries, and Bible students
will remember that Holofernes had
1900 mounted archers Judith I:15).
Probably the e. ptian horsemen,
which accompanied Joseph and his
brethren on their pilgrimage to Canaan
for the purpose Of burying Jacob in
the grave of his ancestors, were cav
alrymen sent by Pharaoh, to protect
t'le cavalcade from prowling bands Of
mounted BedOuins.
Syria, and no doubt heather Canaan,
employed horses in war, but the Isra-
elites were forbidden to initiate them
and in obedience to divine command
hamstrung any Of the chargers they
captured. Job, who may have lived
long before the Exodus, knew the
horse only as a fleet, strong and hand
some animal to be used in war. His
description of the noble animal (Job
XXXIX) as translated in the Author
ized Version Of the Bible, will always
be admired by horsemen, indeed by
all who feel the thrill of majestic, per-
fectly expressed language.

BIRDS ATTRACTED TO GARDEN
WITH FOOD, SHELTER
AND WATER

Bird lovers who desire 20 cultivate
the friendship of their feathered
friends and who want to make them
feel at home in their gardens or
grounds can do much towards this
end if they will see to it that the
birds are we'll supplied with home
building facilities, proper food and a
good water supply, says Walter r.
Ballard, horticultural for the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice. In addition to adding note
of color and song to the home
grounds, he points out that birds
serve a unitarian purpose In Kidding
the garden of many damaging in
sects.
AS with man, probably the quick
est way to bird $ heart is through
its stomach; hence, it is wise home
owner who sees to it that his sing
ing guests are we'll supplied with
Jerry bearing shrubs and trees.
However, especially in winter
months, these should be supplement-
I'd with artificial foods, which may
DE offered ON a feeding tray or in the
form of piece of suet tied to tree
limb.
Cleanliness is next to goodness we
are told and in this respect birds en-
joy their daily bath. In addition,
they need a good supply of drinking
water, both of which may be sup
piled through an informal bird bath
with a moderately shallow basin.
Last, but by no means least, is the
question Of providing the birds with
protected and private living quarters.
These may be supplied readily
through trees and shrubs, and vari-
Gus types of bird houses.
More detailed information on the
subject Of bird life may be obtained
from Farmers Bulletins 621 and
1,456. The bulle,.ns may be secur-

RESTRICTIONS ON MOTOR We
HICLE OPERATORS

The year 1895 will be a crucial
one for the motorists of the United
States, in the opinion of the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland.
Throughout the nation" said AL
bert E. Buckley, Manager Of the
Club, there is very definite swing
of the pendulum toward imposition
of restrictions upon the operators of
motor vehicles, This has been
brought about by the continued kill
ing and manning of persons on the
highways. Public opinion has
swung from tolerance of highway
accidents to insistence that the au-
thorities take drastic steps to pre-
vent them.
Motorists have it within their
own power to determine the extent
to which restrictive measures will be
imposed. A sharp decline in acct
dents will cause favorable reaction.
Continuance of accidents on the
present scale will inevitably result in
curtailment of privileges now en-
joyed.
at is our hope and expectation,
therefore, that motorists will enter
the year 1885 with determination to
observe all the rules necessary for
safe operation of motor vehicles
not just those which suit their con-
venience. The year will be cru
cial one not only for the mitorists of
this State, but for all states. 1t
manifestly is to the interest of every
driver to give the best that is in him
to keep the automobile in good
standing and repute.
1--WE have faith in the American
motorist. The vast majority of
drivers are never involved in acct
dents. The dangerous minority must
learn the lesson the majority has
mastered if all are not to be penaliz-
ed for the errors of the few"
