STEAM HEAT CAUSES COLDS Druggist Has Noted Effects at the Be ginning of Winter—Busy Season for Medicines. "Here, doctor,” said a man as he hurried into a drug store, "give me sou - thing for a cold quick Give me the best remedy you have In stock am! i promise you that tn future steam radiators and I will keep far apart. The radiator was the cause of my present trouble.” The druggist gave him the remedy and the man hurried off. "That’s strange," remarked the drug gist to another customer who was waiting for a prescription. “Would you believe It If I told you he was the fourth person who came in here today buying medicine for a hold in the head? The peculiar part of the matter is that all of them complained that steam heat was the cause of their colds. “On reflection, however, that shouldn't strike me as strange, for we have the same thing happen every year. Our busy season for cold medicines begins at the time when the steam beat is turned on. "Persona susceptible io colds—a great many are —are affected by the heat and before they realize it they are sneezing and coughinc Th ;<m heated atmosphere 1. too much for them They «it in rooms altogether too warm, although sometimes persona are unaware of this condition be■ause the radiators do the heating slowly, and when they come out in he open the sudden change causes them to take cold." MONEY FROM CHICKEN FARM California Woman Has Proved That ' Such an Investment May Be Made to Pay Well. Mrs. Annie Beasley recently saw the possibilities of chicken farming, and she turned to California for an ideal climate. She started with a small cot tage and one acre of ground—but sh< started right. Today she owns a ranch Os several acres and confesses she has an annual Income of handsome propor tions. Her first flock consisted of one rooster and seven hens, but all were pttre bred —bought at the Los Angeles poultry show. That year she had only two chicken bouses, but the next yeai Increased them to four, and the following to eight. Now she has a big ranch but the strain of her poultry has a’ ways been kept pure, so her prize win ners are worth the $25 she charges so them—and they eat no more corn that mongrels Incubators and brooders are kept running all the year except In July August and September, and the littlflocks, as they come along, are divid ed for shows and shops. The perfec specimens are ready to be groornm with washings and bluing, and the others receive three times a day all they will eat of milk, oatmeal anti grain to fatten them. Mrs. Beasley has found that it la even more profit able to sell egg at |3 a setting than at 60 cents a dozen.
