Supreme Court Denies New Trial
To Gallagher Found Guilty Here
Boot Builder Was Convicted by Jury
Of Monsldughter: Sentenced to Year

Gallagher. in his appeal to the

He said the wounded man

The supreme court said the
Jury was warranted in finding
that the appellant used more force

sion he inflicted the injuries
which caused Nelson's death. In
the absence of justification or eX-
cuse this constitutes man.

HEALTH OFFICER
CAUTIONS ABOUT
WINTER COLDS
Gives Advice AS To NOurishing
Foods; Sudden Changes,
Exercises, Etc.

With the open season for colds al
hand, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department Of Health suggests
some ways by which they can be ward
ed off or at least reduced to their
lowest terms. Here they are:
Number One: Keep yourself as fit
as possible. Substitute the simpler
and more nourishing foods, for rich
mixtures. Eggs, milk and other dairy
products, fruits and green vegetables
that are in the market now in great
abundance, are rich in the vitamins
that are a protection against colds.
Add them to your diet. Drink sew
eral glasses of water every day.
Number Two: Dress according to
the weather. Keep comfortably warm.
Have a sweater handy or a warm coat
to slip on when the days turn cold
suddenly. Light a fire or turn on the
heat if your house is damp and chilly.
If you are housekeeper, get out your
blankets and use them.
Number Three: Avoid sudden chill
ing. Change as quickly as possible to
dry shoes and dry clothing if you are
caught unprepared in a drenching
rain.
Number Four: Get some exercise in
the open air every day-a brisk walk,
If Won can't do more than that. Hold
your head up and breathe deeply as
you walk. Keep your sleeping quart
ers and your working rooms we'll vent
Hated and get plenty Of sleep.
Number Five: Colds are catching
Don't go where people are coughing
or sneezing. Wash your hands before
eating.
Number Six: If your powers of re-
sistance have been lowered and cole
catches" you, don't fight it. You

we'll more quickly if you go to bed,
eat lightly, drink plenty of water and
stay in bed until your doctor says you
may get up. Don't wait, either, until
you are seriously i'll to send for your
doctor. Send for him promptly, and
follow his advice.
Number Seven: Don't give your cold
to others. Have your own towel and
drinking cup. Don't broadcast your
germs. Don't sneeze or cough in your
neighbours face. Keep yourself well
supplied with sanitary handkerchiefs,
and destroy them after you have used
them. Postpone your visits to your
friends until you are no longer a
source of danger.
