Now, we would suggest the correspondent sees to it that the old undertaker and postmaster, as be calls him, gets that new coat and pipe as needed. ass the bat around and we will all chip in. We would also sug gest that be see that he gets a few lessons on embalming so that the old song will cease: " We will have to go on to the cemetery to bury first, as the remains are not in condition to take into the church or to be viewed by any body."

It is by no means an ailment of the win ter season alone although condi tions at that time favor it Colds are caused by certain bacteria which find their way to the mucous membrane and cause an active inflammation. Most of ten the throat and nasal passa ges are affected. The coughing, sneezing and ac companying discharges are symp toms familiar to everyone. It is particularly important to observe cleanliness to avoid transmitting the infection to others. Sterili zed cheese cloth which can be burned is an excellent substitute for the handkerchief. One is particularly liable to contract a cold when exhausted and in the winter time crowded, overheated, poo r 1 y ventilated rooms and cars make the tired worker susceptible. Overeating and the use of stimulants are of ten predisposing causes. Excess of clothing contrary to popular belief is not a preventive, Indeed chest protectors or simi lar articles of clothing, weakens the natural resistance. Genera care of the body, daily baths to keep the skin healthy, fresh air, both day and night and the avoi dance of fatigue, are the best preventives. The complications which are apt to follow a severe cold, pneu monia especially, make it impor tant to watch for aggravated symptoms. If these manifest themselves a physician should be called promptly. A lingering cold may end in tuberculosis by clogging up the respiratory tract and thus furnishing a food supply for tuberculosis germs. Mrs. Nancy McQuade ha? a ot of corn for sale at J. L.
