Bed Rest Good Treatment For Cold

WK all know that colds are very, (-(import' in the United States Statisticians who deil in figuJee- estimate that therp are country eVery year, Which means that* most people have at least tWOUS ' , , l-’dh and spring are the Lopen I seasons for colds, but they 1 may [ < <cu-r dt any time of the yeat thoukh, strangely enough ~they' become least common during e* gold weather. Moy thihgs have been suggested as contributing to the \ development of colds, such as chilling;! drafts;- poor nutrition and improper diet, particularly a deficiency of vitamins A 11, and C: lowered body resistance as the ' result of?some previous illness; infections in the .tonsils and siruseji and irritation of the, linii g‘ irtiembranes of the nose and thro it from chemical, substances. J It seems entirely likely that! cold 1 are caused by a virus.! Hen ,e, in preventing colds, i mbsl important thing is the avoidance of exposure to infection.

The senate's verof the law, has not yet been acted on in the House and varied changed may be made. If 18-year olds must be called, there is logic to the argument that ' until ISlij would merely postpon-fc . \ ind.uction.-and not give youths any advantage in td college.

Ui|l not protect one against colds. In treating colds, proper . rest in bed ,is the most , important nyeasure. Exposure to drafts and chilling should be avoided.

VHAPTEK IT WAS war talk, then. Old ' rumors repeated, discounted, the usual grumbling at , government Quint left them. Across the road was Andrew Duval’s smithy and he saw Andrew sitting on an oyer* turned keg in its door. Quint him as a Jovial man like has brother Henry, but now there was no heartiness in his greeting and his face wore a grim look. He said, almost at once, “’Tisn’t going to do your name good, my friend, to be seen here with me!” 1 , "What are you telling me?" demanded Quint, astonished. “Hasn’t ' it reached your ears? I’m alien. Canuck-bom. Suspect" / "Outrageous,” exploded Quint. “Who started this?” “This new Vigilance Committee, here. Two of them come after Henry was here, and asked me questions. I wouldn’t talk. What Henry’d had to say was between him and me. But they’ve talked—there hasn’t been a man cbme tp the smithy since. The idea, I suppose, is to run me off the frontier.” “You'll not go?” . | “No." Quint saw the man’s hands curl into hard fists. “No. If I went across, it’d be as much as saying I’m what they think I am. No, 1 stay right here. I won’t starve." "Move your forge down to Da|n Piers’ shipyard — we’ve work to . give you.” 1 At this moment there came the roll bf drums and the high notes of a bugle from down the street. A horse cantered up with General Potter in full uniform mounted on it. A cheer went up from the crowds which he acknowledged with formal salutes, first to one side, then to the other. \ J “Better get you a good place to see the doings,” growled the smith. "I’ll watch from here/* said Quint. His blood was still boiling at the outrageous treatment of his friend. .. 4- i. ’ The militia came along, Cyrus Catoi and Meet Pickens, its officers. a little in advance of the ranks. A hundred and more men of all ages and sizes, each with a market. Few were in step. No one of them was in uniform. Quint’s mind shot back to childhood days when he had watched man like these, from farms and forges, march off th fight in the War of Independence. The militia marched onto the plateau where General Potter addressed them. . The time may soon be at hand when the defense . ' f ■ 1 ■

' If Potter had impressed his listeners with the imminence of war it had been only for a few moments, for over on the plateau everything was festive again. Quint remained doggedly at the side of his Canadian-born friend, hoping it would be noticed. He had an uneasy feeling that he should be seeking out Rhoda and Jennet, but he continued to stand in the doorway of the smithy. Jennet had grown impatient with just sauntering along the paths. Then they met a Mrs. Pratt with whom, apparently, Rhoda had some slight acquaintance and when Mrs. Pratt introduced them to two Other women of the Buffalo village, it pleased Rhoda to stop and visit with them. But Jennet did not find their talk interesting—mostly it was of the new merchandise that had come into Mrs. Pratt’s husband’s store. She wished Becky were with them —then she and Becky could wander about together and enjoy everything. Go down closer to the lake... ' She was looking in the direction of the lake when suddenly to her astonishment she saw six figures appear over the bluff —lndian youths, with Peter Brant easily distinguishable among them. Five of them wore feathers and bright ribbons in their scalplocks, but Peter’s head, above the others, was unshaven and unadorned. I Every pulse in her tingled.' Then she spied Erron Piers, a little way off. Indifferent to what Aunt Rhoda and the other Women might think of such forwardness, she started forward toward him. “Good afternoon, Mr. Piers! I’m so glad to have, a chance tp thank you for fastening my pennant on the ship.” ' ■ Erron had been nowhere around when she and Quint went to the yard to see the brig with its masts set. “It looks very brave, doesn’t it?" she finished. “Sure does,” Erron got it oUt with some difficulty. f “And isn’t this a most exciting occasion ?” “ ’Tis that." “I wonder if you’d' be so kind as to escort me to that' spring over yonder ? My throat is simply parched for a drink. And Uncle Quint is nowhere about,” ' ■ ’ .■ >

“i u or pieaseu xo, ma’am—miss Darby.” Erron’s face flamed a.’, red as .his hair. . Jennet saw it and said quickly! contritely, "You’re remembering, the horrid thing I said to you the other day. I was truly sorry as terwari’s. Please forgive if*" For the moment, in her desire to make amends for that rudeness, she forgot Pepter. "From now on I am going |o call you Erron and it would please me if you would call me Jennet. It’s silly to be formal with each other, sharing an interest ip the new ship as we do!” Erron’s face was still red but it was from pleasure now and not embarrassment. They reached the spring. Children playing there stopped their game to gather around them; Erron drtew a bucket of water and Jennet' made a cup of her two hands from which to drink. “Wish, wish,” shrilled one of the childrefi. , “Wish before you drink and it’ft come true!"

"I don’t mind missing it!" Jennet saw the Indian youths moving forward along the path. If shej and Erron went tdward the Huff* they’d meet them. “I’d rather go and idpkover the water, Erron! It’s soft beautifully blue, isn’t it?" Her voice was a little unsteady. “What, is that ship out there?” Though it was hard to direct her glance-even for a moment toward the small skip at anchor at the head- of the river. “One of Alton’s tubs. Just a forty-ton.” "Not nearly as beautiful as our ship, id it?" ! ' "Not by a long way!" (To Be Continued} sSL) ■ ? .

jn, | i Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE ' O— o Q. How much time should elapse between announcement of the engagement and the wedding? ; H_A. There is no definite rule of etiquette regarding this, and., the length of time would naturally depend upon circumstances. Usually the maximum is six months, and usually a couple anticipating a greater length ot time will postpone the announcement of the engagement until they are fairly sure of the date of their marriage. Q. When giving an informal dinner, how- should the hostess let her guests know the seating arrangement she wishes? A. The hostess should stand at her place and tell eac,h guest just where he or she should be Seated. Q. When cake is served and no fork is provided, how should one dat it? z A. Break ‘it into individual pieces, much as you would a slice <j>f bread or a bun, and convey it to the mouth with the fingers. ''_ ■ 4 ' If You Have Anything To Sell Try A Democrat Want Ad —lt Pays.
