Of all the inconveniences that bese

of the z It •�

both
a nuisance . and a danger: It upsets
one's poise, mekes one irritable .and
'restless,, interferes. with all the nor-
mal : functions of everyday existence.
It makes a person feel dull and stu-
pid
and disinterested in and dissatis-
fwd with life in • genera:. It : is a
,menace to health, because the common
cold, while not especially dangerous
in itself, always brings with it the
possibilities of a deeper, more severe
infection, such as broncho -pneumonia.
The great trouble is to know just
what is the best thing to do to cure
cold Certainly keeping warm in
bed, reducing the intake of food, and
keeping the bowels active, are three
of the "main points to be observed.
Cods usually run a definite course,
and if care is taken to avoid further
chills, a few days only elapse till the
sufferer has recovered at least enough
to get about his ordinary duties again.
The weather of the past few weeks
has been particularly variable, and
just the kind that makes people liable
to catch a cold: One day the ther-
mometer is hovering at or, below zero,
the next the weather resembles a
balmy day in the late spring or early.
summer, In consequence, the ordi-
nary citizen finds it difficult to adjust
himself or herself to the varying
cTitnati.c conditions, and a chill may
result.
The real cold; known in medical,
language as "Coryza" is an infection
caused by a germ:: Colds usually start
with a dryness and fullness .of the:
nose,. and may be' accompanied with a
t: rise in' temperature, backache. per=
e haps headache and a general feeling
of depression. This condition may be

changes in the air change the mem-

point, sneezing • results.
It shows at
once thatthe new condition is a source
of irritation and the mucous lining
has to adjust itself to the altered cir-
cumstances, Some people call these,
changes a cold, or a common cold, or
a cold in the . head. Not -at all. _ A
cold: is a different thing. It is an
infection with some kind of a germ,.
One or two investigators at the pres-
ent time think they have found the
germ of colds. Perhaps they have,
but then again,• the infection may be
du„ to any ,one of several kinds - of
germs. he condition is known among
as coryza, and it is the kind
of cold that health departments have
in mind when• they issue warnings
about the dangers of colds. They lead
to pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis,
sore throat, many of which may turn
out gerious`:if 'not'. - eful'ly created.
Therefore, if you can, take all neces-
sary precautions to avoid the common
cold.

During the recent struggle iiz. ,Ire-

into rival camps. O'Higgizx accepted
the Free State treaty and eventually

thquglit the meat who accepted the
treaty were traitors to their country,

The minister found himself face to
face with the duty of condemning to
death hie old friend, Who had been

The heart of•tho.friend pleaded, "Save

Has the Dairy Cow Been
Given a .Chance?
Dairy cows •and Men are very Hint
alike in one respect—neither has an
thing to say as to their parentage:
They are very different in anothe
respect—man is master, the cow a se
vent. Such being the ease, are me
giving the dairy cows a ;chance to p
'their way .grad prove their worth
411, What is a reasonable chance for ma
to give a dairy cow?
First—Since men largely control th
14a.tinge; of cattle, we are in duty
bound in the first place to mate ani
mals of known production, good 'type
and plenty of vigor with one another
if the offspring is' to be expected 'to
produce milk at a profit.
Second—Granth?g that the first
necessity has been carried out and the
young• animal has been properly fed
to the production age, we must feed
that animal in such a sway as to give
• her a chance to produce' milk at a
profit. How can this be done? Brief-
ly this: Every. animal requires a cer-
tain amount of f�od 'to maintain body
heat, life, and to repair the worn out
parts of the body. To feed this 'amount
of food is not giving the cow•a'chanee
to produce at a profit. We must feed
In addition, to this amount of food, ali
amount out of ;whiclheew,e may right-
fully ask the cow to prove, what -she
can do. This food must be suited to
the demand expected of her, and,it is''
this part. of the daily ration which' tivi]1.
not only pay for itself, but will pay for
the food consumed in maintaining life
itself, the body heat and the repair of
WON' "out parts. Just how much ad:
ditional food over and above the main-
tenance ration can be fed, wilj depend
not only on the constitution of the
cow, but upon her inherited.ability•to
convert this food to milk. - Here is
where good breeding. shows; ito.,value.:
It is quite possible for teas farmers
having equal quantities and qualities:•.
of feed to feed this to cattle of equally
good type; and. breeding,: and yet one.

way. Farmer A. may keep 50 cows and

r amount of feed equal to that consttnze
n byA's 50 cows, and half the; feed gee
ay to produce milk alone, and half t
