Treat a cold respectfully, put it to bed for the first twenty-four hours and it will retire from the sonee with grace and speed. On the other hand ignore the ,existence fora couple of days�rr�.d it will gather such strength that soon you won't be abee.to think of anything ease, ,Keep up the fight ar week or so. ;Conger, going about your business as usual, and there's an even, chance, inn the present state of heeeth statis- tics that the cod woun'•t bet a cold any more but will have put on the dignity of iinfluenza, And influenza treated with contempt can show its metal by turning into any dine of a number of things that etre worse. NATIONAL 'BLESSING The fraternal orders are a national blessing They promote thrift, econ- omy, sobriety, without freezing the soul into ,selfishsuess, es, in apt to be the ease tin, the usual struggle for wealth dor a high social position. They bring mein into closer relations, :end cherish those feelings that thrive and. put forth blossoms in each other's, wel- fare. They make men thoughtful and helpful, expanding the sentiments ,of love, •charity and good will.. They teach us the religion that breaks bread to the hungry, gives a cup of water to the thirsty, watches at the bed of the sick, visits the imprisoned, the father- less and widows -duties that are sad- ly neglected,anid, for a long time were. supposed to be confined to the church HAY TOWNSHIP MEMORIAL.
