D. 9magilllinuuo A HEALTH bER1, ICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN WE PREVENT COLDS A cold in the head is gencral'y thought of as More of 8 ntrecance than anything else, It certainly Is a rrui*ance 1lecal090 it makes the sufferer a fair(Y uncum- fOrtable individual, Colds are something more than a nuisance, however; they are serious for certain reasons. In tate filet place, they are the greatest single cause et absemlce from work and sellout, and consequently, they cost more, in lost wages, than any ether single illness, Secondly, what ap- pears to be an ordinary cold may be the beginning of some sel'i0u3 i'.l- Ites5, suet as pneumonia, Because you have often had colas which were merely a nuisance, you cannot count en escaping serious results in the future, It is a good idea to do everything possible to escape colds altogether. While there is yet much to be leam'eJ ab- out colds, and extensibe resea-ch is being carried our in au attempt to unravel the mysteries which sur- round this common complaint, there are some simple things which we may do to protect ourselves. Keep in good health, Eat the right hinds of food and sleep with ,he 'bedroom window oven (eight hours of sleep for adults—lungei for children). Avoid people wl:J have colds, bemuse colds are oircad from one person to another, !Vasil the hands thoroughly before ea11115, because the Mantis become euiled and are very likely to have diccene germs on then[. Keep the body clean by regular bathing, using cold or cool water, followed by a rub',vial a rough towel. Keep the feet dry if they get wet, change to dry shoes and stockings, first giving the feet a good rub with a rough towel. Dress according to the Lher'010nle:er, not the season of the year, as too much clothing (especially indoors) causes perspiration and Mulct, therefore, be avoided. The person who suffer from re- peated colds should have his nese and throat examined by a doctor. The germs may lodge in diseased tousiis or adenoids and cause repeat- ed colds; this can only be prevent- ed by correcting the diseased con. dition of the nose and throat.

Howard and Sinclair, with an anx- ious heart, knowing that he was leaving them it grave danger and that there was also a possibility that he might not return to 'them alive, George Millar, a younger brother of the late William Miller of "Tire Hill," accompanied him an the dangerous enterprise, They found the Carnot River settlers denoed up in poppular pole stockades and too terrified at first to talk business. Eventually, however, they succeed. ed fn purchasing over half a hum dred cattle—rolling fat—with which they set out for their destination. They reached the South Branch without mishap and forced the un willing beasts to swim the swift and icy current. * 10 * As they drove the chilled ani- mals along the northern batik, a sharp fusilade of shots ran.: out from a point farther up stream.

The :incite with many Whets, moved into the village of Goschen. (East Prince Albert as it Is now called). The Hudson Bay Store, the large ream-' ers which plied between Edmonton and Goschen, the fur trade from the north, a large flour mill and lela(Dowellee :umber mill supplied work for the community, Bjeaides these industries there was a lime kiln, a large brickyard and a char- coal concern. The settlers of those early days • were mostly young people of elas- tic spirits and unbounded optimism. Ere long, they recovered from the horrors of their rebellion ex- periences and settled down to Peace and enjoyment. They labored dili- gently through each day, but when 11d5111 came, they bundled up their I little ones and hurried off to the ` dances which 'were reld from house to house. Lulled by the strain: of the fiddle and the rhythm of danc- ing feet, the babies slept peace- fully on the homemade , woollen beds upstairs. On one occasion, Chester Thome, son, an incorrigible praotieal joker, .1 who repeatedly affirmed that all babies looked exactly alike, stole upstairs while the merriment was at its height and exchanged the outer garments of several of the younger infants, The resultant cofsusion was a standing joke in the settle- ment for years. With foresight and acumen, Mr. Snell realized the necessity for a fire department. As a reward for his enthusiastic efforts he was ap- pointed oaptain of the firstagent-. zation of its kind in Saskatchewan, He was also a promoter' for the building of a curling rink and .to. boggan slide as a means of reliev- ing the .tedium of the long severe winters. Throughout the devaatating deoutll and depression years of the nineties, Mo, Snell carried on with indomitable courage, , He was one of the first settlers to conceive the idea of improving the breed of his stock and t11e'iiti5t e0 suggesta creamery, as 11 better market for hill.

Suddenly the overhang gave way and an avalanche of sand enveloped him, With rare (ivies euce of mind he hold his arms aloft. He was ssnotber'ing, and there Was not a moment to lose. Desperately he clawed and fought until his Month and nose were mteeeered. He could scarcely breathe from the pressure, there was no one llvhtg within half a mile and no one ever passed that way.
