Wet V est Not cf Tlz.ens+elvee al, Dan,,
ger, Says a Illedicul
Writer.
The war over colds said their
causes has broken. put anew' in the.
Medical Journal. Dr. William
Brady attacks with violence what.
he calls the ' "bogy of catching
colds,"
There are some five different
kinde of bacilli and cocci which
bring on coryza; or a cold, says
Dr. Brady. Each variety has a
large name and a meaning to the
medical profession. .Also, , accord-
ing to Dr. Brady, there are four
predisposing factors an acquiring
coryza : overheated apartments, un-
hygienic dress, insufficient ventila-
tion and overeating. The medium
of infection he :thinks is usually
dust, but direct infection undoubt-
edly +secure in children intimately
assooiated indoors with coryza car-.
viers,• Headds that theideal place
to catch coryza is the average
schoolroom, where medical inspec-
tion is conspicuously wanting. The
article 'goes ea:
Coryza never develops primarily
in the open air. Exposure to rain,
hail, wind and snow is tonic so long
as it is comfortable'—physically
comfortable.
Wet feet are of no consequence
unless they become uncomfortably
cold; and cold .feet are not cause
but a. sign ofdefective circulation.
Plunging the feet into cold water
does good, not harm, provided the
reaction is obtained.
COLD BATHING, LIWTWISE,
whether in health or in illness, . is
wholly a matter of vasomotor re-
action.
Any child from one year up who
does not know enough to, come in
out of the cold when the cold is Un-
comfortable is mentally defective.
The natural instinct of self preser-
vation directs us safely in this; no
advice from house -bred sanitarians
is needed. Ste long as a. child is
comfortable, though he stands in a
puddle all day, the effeet is tonic;
so soon as the reaction fails and the
circulation loses its equilibrium the
child becomes too uncomfortable to
enjoy himself and if • he is not an
imbecile he goes in to get warm.
Identical principles are involved
in'the exposure of the body, clothed
or unclothed, to cold air. If the
invalid suffers actual physical dis-
comfort therefrom it is doing, harm;
on the other hand, if he enjoys an
airing—rain, hail or .shine—as nine-
ty-nine in. a hundred do, it is better
than any tonic in the pharmacopeia
for him. When harm is done by
such exposure the equilibrium of
,the circulation fails, and it is debat-
able- though by no, means proved.
that infection with pathogenic bac-
teria might more readily occur.
Dr. Brady finds fault with the
medical profession in general be-
cause its members don't seem to
realize the necessity of guarding
against coryza infection. . Not one
physician in, a thousand, says he,
instructs coryza patients to disin-
fect the nasal discharge, although it
may be .swarming with virulent
pneumococci, merely because he
thinks the trouble is "simple" cory-
za and only a "cold." Dr. Brady
adds:
The universal indoor plague-
simple coryza—is a disabling, fre-
quently mutilating, sometimes fa-
tal, infectious disease, prevailing
epidemically. The treatment is
hygienic, medicinal, dietetic, bio-
logical and surgical. The progno-
sis is recovery, chronicity, perma-
nent deafness,
OPERATION OR DEATH.
It is most commonly observedin
individuals. least exposed to cold
air and rough weather, and it is
never observed in the Arctic Zone:
The medical profession aids and
abets the propagation and spread of
coryza in two ways, both negative:
First, by passively encouraging the
catching cold phobia; and, .second-.
Iy, by failing to isolate simple cory-
za and disinfect the nasal discharge.
The economic waste chargeable to
this fault is beyond computation,
the irremediable deafness, the un-
necessary operations on accessory
sinuses, mastoids and middle ear,
the preventable deaths from cere-
bral lesions directly due to simple
coryza, are appalling. ' All because
a few superannuated sanitary engi-
neers and faintly doctors ofauthen-
tic vintage insist that there is such
a thing as "catching cold."
Yet there are, still isolated in-
stances in which awoman "takes
cold" after childbirth, by and with.
the consent of her medical attend-
ant, and has "a bad run of fever."
To this crime we, as a profession,.
are ;accessory before the fact, since
we cling to the catching cold del.u-
sion. We aid and abet the obstetri-
den with the dirty hands, We lend
encouragement to the surgeon with
the dirty instruments. * * *
Draughts are inevitable as the
rising sun or the falling rain orthe
changing weather. No sanitarian
has yet offered or ever will offer a

or other curious, contrivan.,aes to

we take it straight. The draught

Exposure to the weather -rain,

resistance against infeetious dis-
eases, not alone respiratory but
every infectious diseasewe recog-
nize. Our present outdoor treat -
mea of pueumonia is the strongest
possible proof ,of the" value of 'cold
air.
As for exposure in general; Dr,
Brady thinks it can be no harm un-
less it causes physical discomfort..

says, finless they become uncom-
fortably cold, and cold -bathing is a

stand in a, puddle all day as long as
he likes it, : The effect is a tonic.
He says :
Sunlight, the . best germicide
known to medicine, costs nothing.
Cold fresh air, the best tonic in the
world, is free to all. Only the
housed up molly coddles need blood
purifiers in the spring. No one ever
caught coryza orpneumonia out in
the open. These are house infec-
tions. No more domesticated germ
exists than the pneumococcus.
Coryza probably costs the .com-
munity more from an economic
standpointthan pneumonia, in-
fluenza and diphtheria combined,
yet we take no precautions what-
ever to prevent its spread. Osler
recognizes the epidemic nature of
coryza. Others dodge draughts.
We all know it is .a bacterial infec-
tion, but we are not all agreed on
the predisposing factors.
The best ,possible environment
for a. coryza or pneumonia patient,
thinks Dr. Brady, is cold air out of
doors. He . should lie wrapped in
warm blankets, and •be clothed in
woollen garments. The doctor's
final fling at the cold bogy is this :
1. Throttle the cold bogy at the
bedside without mercy.
2. Isolate all coryza patients: un-
til the discharge ceases, preferably
in the open air.
3. Disinfect handkerchiefs and
all nasal or pharyngeal secretions.
4. . Battle relentlessly against
carious teeth, :suppurating glens
and culture tube tonsils.
5. Preach the gospel ofcold fresh
air and sunlight.

I frankly- confess that I have
found some -enjoyment in watching
people who have got themselves
into awkward :situations, writes
Wilkie Bird, the actor, in London
Answers. I have been in some awk-
ward ,situations myself, and when
I see others in a more or less like
plight I can readily imagine their
feelings -hence my enjoyment.,
I remember once driving in acab
to my house in the suburbs where
I then lived. When I arrived at my
door I found that, owing --to some
defect in the door -catches of the
eab, or to a clever trick on the part
of the driver, neither of the doors
would open, so I had to make my
exit from the cab bhro+trgh the win-
dow. I accomplished•this by plac-
ing
lacing my hands en the driver',s shoul-
ders, by the aid of which support I
nervously drew myself out of the
cab.

I was once standing on the plat-
form at a country railway -station.
A fat, middle-aged gentleman, who
wanted to' get out of a train, was
unable to open the door of the, car-
riage.
Having alighted myself; I watch-
ed him attentively from a distance.
As he was leaning his head out of
the carriage, uttering expressions
apparently': of extreme indignation,
though I did not aetually hear
thein, the train began to move out
of the station, and at the same in-
stant he .succeeded eb lase in open-
ing the door, only, 'however, to have
it banged en him by an attentive
and careful_ porter ---the solitary one
on the platform.

moments., and in the most unexpect-

At an:evening party sevoral years.

could think of to say; about their
future, and everyone, especially the
young ladies, whom I predicted
would .have most-oligible offers sof
marriage in the immediate, future,
if not sooner, were mightily
pleased. -
VERDICT AND RIDER,.'.
The last young lady to place her
palm in my hands was 'excessively
pretty -she was, "indeed, the pretti-
est girl in the room.—and I told her
a .s,omewhat longer fortune than I
had the .others. I made up et little
story about a nasty, wicked, ugly,
rich old man who would fall! in love
with her, but that she herself would
fall in love with a poor, but ex
treraely handsome, dashing, brave
young fellow, a V. C:, and the hero
of
.at least a thousand fights. Ulti-
mately, .I . foretold that the ugly old
sinner would clic a hideous death,
and the young, and handsome officer
would come in at the critical mom-
en.t-I did not specify the precise
character of the crisis—for a huge
fortune•, and so everything would
end happily,
Everyone seemed to be trying not
to laugh as I was telling what I
thought was a. harmless, if seine -
what musty, little tale, and finally
the young lady herself snatched her
hand away from me, and said she
thought fortune-telling was a very
silly sort of thing, and addeda
rider that is not the exact word I
want,, but let it stand—to the effect
that site didn't believe one bit in it.
I. could not make out why every-
one was looking so amused, and the
young lady so annoyed, until some-
one whispered to me that a fat, ugly
old man who was asleep in a chair
near me was her husband.. I said
I knew that all the time, and then
it - occurred to me that this was a
rather tactless thing to say, .and
then Istarted trying to explain
than I did not` know it. Finally, I
toirk advantageof a. clock on the
mantelpiece, striking to say I had to
catch 'a train,\and so got away.
Here: is the story of one of the
most awkward situations I wasever
in:
I was,engaged to give a private
performance at a house, in Gros-
venor Square some years ago. I
bac' to be at the house at• 11 p.m.,
and I decided, in order to save
time, to go direct from the, Oxford
Music Hall ,after my turn "made
up." I arrived at the house made
up as an elderly lady, clad in a sort
of exaggerated mixture of ,sixteenth
and nineteenth century style of
dress.
WELCOMING WILKIE.
I was shown into a cosy boudoir
that opened off the room where, I
was to give my .performance, and
where I was to wait until the guests
were all seated.
After I had been in the room a
few minutes• the door openedsoftly,
and an old lady looked in. She pint
up her •spectacles to her , eyes,
looked at me for a moment or two,

Why, my dear Mrs. Mann-som'e-
thing"-I did not catch the name
she called me—"I : am so glad'. you
have •come.! Ella will be, delighted
to hear you are here !" And then
the dear old thing shook me by both
hands, kissed Me, and drew a, chair
near mine, and plumped herself in-
to it:
"It must be nearly ten years ,since.

WHY BAD ;EGGS l
During the warm, weather there
are many bad eggs placed on.; the
market. These bad eggs may be
dirty, incubated, shrunken or held,
rotteu' or moldy and bad flavored.
Some of the causesof dirty eggs
are unsanitary conditions about the
poultry house; lack of litter in the
house; an insufficient number of
nests ; small nests ; poor nesting
material; allowing hens to roost on
nests, and not gathering eggs often
enough. The few dirty eggs that
are produced should be consumed
at home and not washed and sold.
With these faults corrected the
number of broken eggs would be
lowered for someof the above eon-
ditions result in both dirty and
broken eggs. • The cause of some`of
the breakage, however, is the lack
of mineral matter for the eggshell,.
Oyster shells or bone will furnish
this mineral matter for the produc-
tion ofthickershelled eggs.
Egg producers should take sufaci-
eut pride in their product to. give
it proper care from the time it is
laiduntil it is marketed. Sabse-
quent handlers should exercise a
similar precaution. Careful• atten-
•tion to these important points
would materially lessen the losse's
enumerated above and would add
to the pleasure of producing and of
consuming' this important food:
Eggs may be a delicacy or only an
ordinary, or even inferior, materi-
al for ' food purposes, depending
very largely upon the way they are
handled by • producer, middleman.
and consumer.

KNELL OF OLD MILK PAIL. -
A- wonderful systemof ventila-
tion has been devised for dairies,
and its general adoption by all
farmers who apply intelligence and
scientific methods totheir ventures
proves its merit. But pure air alone
is not sufficient for the cow barn.
No dust must be permitted to as
cumulate, :the barns should be kept
in perfect sanitary form and the
animal must be subjected to fre-
quent cleaning operations. Scien-
tists have sounded the knell of the
old-fashioned milk pail with its flar-
ing edges. The small -topped pail
is in favor: It offers less of an open-
ing for bacteria that may fall into
the milk during the process of Junk -
Some bacteria invariably are.
found in milk. The laboratory
shows, however, that these germs
are beneficial' rather than injurious
to the human consumers. But the
presence.gf` bacteria directly trade-
able to filth and unsanitary condi-
tions
onditions is at onee a source of danger.
and a signal for medical warfare on
the undesirable dairy.
"Keep the cow stable as neat and
as clean as the kitchen," is the slo-
gan of the most progressive dairy-
men. They are in the ascendency.
The careless, old-fashioned dairy-
man sees plainly the handwriting
on the wall.
HINTS FOR THE FARMER.
Treat the herd boar' with kind-
ness and also with considerable
caution.
Do not allow the cows to dry up
durins the latter part of summer,
as .this necessitates keeping them
through winter giving a smaller flow
of milk than they should.
A little oil of pennyroyal or oil
of cloves will drive flies' away from
the stable.
At any season, when the horse
has become excessively warm he
should be cooled` off gradually.
Don't change the collar from one
horse to another.

TREATMENT OF LIVE STOCK.
Horses and, in fa.at, all domestic
animals are very mach more im-
pressionable than they are genet
ally supposed to be. Cattle' which
have had a kind master; a' man of
.gentle but firm nature, show the
effect of their associations as a
breed or strain. Years of good
treatment not only make an im-
pression on the individuals, but are
impressed with such. force as to be-
come a breed characteristic. In
short, a keen judge can tell, pretty
nearly what sort of association a
horse has had by his temperament.
The importance 8f creating a
good temperament in a trotting or
pacing horse should not be under-
rated.. The horse with a good tem-
peramexit will do more work and do
it better than one which has not
a well balanced temperament,

GERMANS DREAD 1913.
Will Empire Fall Nowt Year As
Prophesied By a Sorceress.
The recent Socialist victories in
Germany have revived the singular
story of Emperor William I. and
the fortune teller, which at the time
of the old Kaiser's death was whis-
pered with awe by the supersti-
tious. There is now only one part
of the prophecy left unfulfilled„ and
the date for that is set for next
year.
The story goes • that in 1849 the
Crown Prince who was later to be-
come the first Emperor, found him-
self in Baden, and heard so many
stories of an old fortune teller that
he 'teas induced to go to see her.
The sorceress was seated at a table,
on which were . spread various bits
of wood bearing figures. Her cus-
tom was to touch these pieces of
wood with a pencil, guided, as she
assured her clients,.' entirely by in-
spiration. Combined in some way
these figures gave you the most ex-
act information as to the future.
"In ;That year will the German
Empire be founded?" first asked
the Prince, whose head was already
full of his great ambition.
The old woman took up the fig-
ures 1, 8, 4, and 9, and formed the
number of the current year. Then
she touched various other figures
and placed them one by one in a
column under this first line. The
Prince said when she had finished
that the date 1849 appeared twice
indifferent form, thus:
1849
1
8
9
"Add them," said the fortune-
teller, "and you will find the year
in :which the German Empire . will
be founded."
The prince, did as he was told and
found the total to be 1871.
"When will I die 7" he asked
next.
The -sorceress made the date 1871,
and then .began touching figures
again. She touched four and ar-
ranged them as she had done in the
Bret instance. Prince William saw
that she had again repeated the
date,:
1871
1
8
7
1
"Add:' them," : she . said; "they
give the „year in which you will
die.''
aft
They came to 1888.
The Prince put his third and last
question
"Whenwill the German Empire
fall f"
A third time the woman fixed the
last date and added four figures.
When' a she had finished the Prince
saw:
1888
1
8
8

",Add them and you have the date
of the fall of the German Empire."
The figures .came to 1913.
This odd story was told when Wil-
liam I. died in 1888, after being
crowned Emperor in 1871. Twice

truth. Supenstitious, folk 1 at

SARDINES AND SPRATS.
Few Know Difference When Little
,Fish Get in Tins.
Though they are totally different
species of fish, sprats are sometimes
sold as sardines, andfew people
know of the distinctions between
them. Briefly, a sardine is a young
pilchard. In its immature state it
lives in the warm waters. off the
shores of France, Italy, and Spain,
though occasionally it is found not
far fromthe coast of Devon and
Cornwall, 'England. The mature
pilchard is, however, a well-known
Cornish fish.
On the other hand, a spratis a
sprat, and the .staall specimens one
sees in the shops are fully -grown
fish. Sprats are caught in enor-
mous quantities off the coasts of the
British .Ifrles and in Noxwegian wa-
ters.
In France there are no fewer
than 170 factories engaged in the
trade of preparing and tanning sar-
dines. Towards the 'middle of the
eighteenth century, at Nantes, sar-
dines were first prepared in olive -
oil and packed in barrels, and there
are no fewer than one hundred and
sixty-one different methods of cook-
ing this delectable dish. Enormous
exportations of sardines are made
annually to Australia and South
Africa. . _

AUSTRALIA'S YE1O..,.IL

COLORED '11iEN.
Vast 'Unoccupied 'Territory Source
. of Danger to British
Empire.•
"Australia's Greatest Danger'
the title of a striking article in t
current .number of the Nation
Review, London. The writer,
George Gascoyne, argues that th
greatest danger to Australia 'a
one of the greatest dangers to t
British Empire lies in the vasty
occupied northern territory of
tralia. In the two words
Kaiser's femora phrase, th
is the Yellow Peril.
Here is territory of 523,620 square
miles, two and a half times the s'
of France, with a seaboard of 1,24
miles, several splendid: harbors an
a sorrel of navigable rivers. It
imperfectly explored, but 162,1
square miles are classified • as indi
fere, though containing minin
possntab list es; 148,000 square m'
contain patches of good past
land with uncertain rainfall, 43,
square miles are good pastor
country, and another 29,000 a
first-class, both .subject to ince
mittent tropical rain; 150,000 square
miles are essentially tropical, with
rainfall to correspond.
NO LAND FOR WHITES.
In 1908 the white population
this great territory was 1,081,
whom 577 were mule adults. In
years the white mule adult popu
tion increased by 27, at the rate
just one white man a year. I'n,
1910 the white population was said
to be stationary.
Ile article holds out no ,ver
comforting prospect as to -avoiclin
the danger. The writer in one pa
sage says
"I do not believe that any white
race will ever people northern Ana -
tele and rear hardy, vigorous
sons able to fight for their lives, as
they would certainly'• have to do at
sometime or other. The lands

NOTHING BUT YELLOW MEN.
Mr. Gascoyne is very convincing
in his argument' that if this terri-
tory is to be colonized by colored
labor, there is nothing for it but the
yellow men.. Once this is admitted
he maintains that the game Is up.
Experience has proved that once
admitted on a large scale the yel-
low man cannotbe restricted to one
area. '
Even assuming that Chinese la-
borers could to -day be recruited on.
the indenture system, and that. they
could be kept within a certain area.,
one thing must follow at once -the
Japanese must also be admitted,
"for the door could not be opened
to China and slammed in the face of
Japan."
