COMMON COLD.
One of the Greatest Enemies of Man-
kind, Say the Doctors.
"Only a cold. Nothing in the least
serious."
How often docs one hear that sort
of remark. And yet, as any physician
will testify, the common cold is one of
the greatest enemies of mankind.
Your friend Jones is very deaf. It
is a bore to try to talk to him. What
made him deaf ? Colds. Nearly all
cases of deafness are due solely to
that eause. Old people are more apt
to be deaf than young folks because
they have lived longer and have had
more time to suffe `from colds.
The common cold is very danger-
ous. Smith, an acquaintance of yours,
died week before last. What carried
him off ? Pneumonia. Ah, yes. But
it was a cold that did the mischief.
The germs invaded his lungs, and now
he is in the graveyard.
Heart disorders, kidney troubles
and rheumatism are liable to be en-
gendered by colds. Remember, the
case of your friend Brown? He died
of an infection of the frontal sinus—

Everybody has noticed how they will

through a city, through a whole pro-
vince, attacking nearly everybody and..

the weak and the debilitated.
Not until very recently has it been
realized that colds are invariably
caused by germs. The latter are so
tiny that a million of them could rest
on the head of a pin. Their fav 1 t
breeding places are dusty,
ed rooms. Fresh air is their worst
enemy.
The best way to avoid colds is to,
keep the body in "fit" (meaning dis-
ease -resistant) condition; to keep
away from dusty, ill -ventilated places,.
and to avoid chilling of the body by
cold or ' t.,Such chilling lessens the
resisting "power of the body, and so
may conduce to colds. Bute barring

Know the Various Cuts
It will be found that knowing the
cuts of meat and being able to judge
by appearance will help, but first and
foremost the odor of the meat will
give you a definite idea about its
condition. The odors of poultry and
fish will help you in the same way.
Meat should have a good appearance.
By this I mean it should have a good
red color shortly after ,cutting. The

pleasant. meaty odor. All this is
absol.itely essential for good meat.
About 26 per cent. of the beef car-
cass is in the fine and fancy cuts of
meat and, therefore, accordingly high
in price, because three out of five wo-
men usually say "steak."
Here are a few recipes for the
cheaper cuts of meat, which are de-
licious and nutritious, and they will
be heartily -welcomed by the man of
the family:
Roll Brisket, Braised
Three pounds of brisket, rolled,
usually sells for about twenty two
cents a pound. Place three table-
spoonfuls of drippings in the frying
pan to heat. Dust the meat lightly
with flour and then brown quickly
without scorching in the hot fat.
Transfer to a large saucepan, place a
small wire rack—like a flatiron stand,
which can be purchased at the ten-
t stores—hi the bottom of
saucepan. Pour boiling -water ,liner
the pan until it reaches this rack.
Then put in the meat, cover and steam
until tender, usually about one and
one-half hours. Lift the meat and
thicken the gravy with browned flour,
adding one-half teaspoonful of grat-
ed onion, salt and pepper to taste, and
then serve with the meat. The left-
over portion can be cut in thin slices
and served with horseradish sauce,
and the end cut and used in meat hash
or English pie.

NERVOUS AILMENTS
Few people realize that nervous
ailments often arise from digestive
troubles. The stomach fails, for some
reason, to digest food properly, Then
the system languishes and the nerves
become exhausted in striving to con-
tinue their work. Impure blood also
causes nerve troubles, but frequently
it is in the stomach where the mis-
chief starts. As the nourishment is,
carried to the nerves by the blood, it
will be seen what an important con-
nection exists' between the stomach,
the nerves and the blood, and how
such troubles as nervous headaches,
nervous dyspepsia and insomnia may
begin.
In such cases relief is easily obtain-
able by means of. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. These pills replenish the blood
with the food elements on which the
nerves thrive; at the same time they
exercise a tonic influence on the di-
gestive organs, enabling the system to
derive nourishment from the food tak-
en. By this perfectly natural process
nervous ills are steadily dispelled by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If you are
suffering from nerves, or require a
blood -making tonic, give these pills a
fair trial, and see how speedily the
best of health will be yours.
You can get these pills through any
dealer hi medicine, or by 'mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from

How to Eat for Health.
Natural habits in eating develop
natural tastes and instincts, and are
conducive to the highest pleasure and.
enjoyment. The ideas embodied in
the following rules of diet are by no
means new 'discoveries; they are as
old as the hills:
Eat natural foods.
Avoid excess of proteins, which in -
elude, beside heats, eggs and milk.
Eat eggs sparingly, if at all. They
are unwholesome for some people,
Exercise care in the use of cow's
milk. Many persons suffer from
chronic milk poisoning, being subjects
of "casein dyspepsia." Buttermilk is
perferable to ordinary milk.
Avoid excess of animal fats. Nuts,
especially pine nuts, pecans and al -
imonds, are an excellent source of fat.
Avoid poisons, which include tea,
I. coffee, alcohol and tabacco,
I Avoid condiments --mustard, pep-
per, pepper sauce, cayenne, vinegar,
pickles, all the irritating spices and
condiments. These damage the stom-
ach, liver
tom-ach,liver and kidneys.
Use salt sparingly. Many persona
are benefited by discarding salt alta-
gether. The food naturally contains
a sufficient amount.
Eat simply, avoiding too many
kinds of food at a meal.
Eat moderately. Never eat to full-
ness or satiety.
Eat food which is relished. Such
food generates appetite juice, which is
essential to good digestion. sweet
Use cane sugar sparingly,
fruits are better.
Secure two or three bowel move-
ments daily by the abundant use of
fruits, bran, fresh vegetables and
other laxative foods (if necessary, use
'mineral oil).
1 Eat some fresh, uncooked food daily,
such as fresh or_dried fruit, lettuce,
(heart of cabbage or fresh cucumbers
(not pickles).
Vary the diet from day to day, but
avoid complicated meals and dishes.
The meal hours should be regular.
Two meals a day is the best plan
for brain workers. If three 'meals
are eaten the principal meat should be
taken at midday. Supper should be
the lightest meal.
Iced foods and drinks must be tak-
en slowly. -
Take time to. eat. ,., Eat,largely of ,
dry foods and masticate thoroughly.

A Damp Bethrothal.
The Tarascan Indians of Mexico,
says the National Geographic Maga-
zine, have one of the strangest be-
trothal customs in the world. The
land of the Tarascans lies due west of
Mexico City, and the natives retain
many of their practices that were well
established before the Spaniards land-
ed at Vera Cruz.
The accepted method of courtship
sends the lover to the spring where
the object of his affections is accus-
tomed to fill her water jar. He holds
her shawl until she acctpes him, and
then, with a stick, he breaks the jar
that she holds on her head, and gives
her a betrothal baptism of water.

sessed the secret of tempering copper

The only drawback to the fertile
lands of England, from the agricultur-
j al point of view, is the lack of sun-
shine, and the electric culture is de-
i signed to create the atmosphere of
sunshine when the sun is not shining.
Hence, the farmer can switch off the
current when the sun is really shining.
All that is necessary is to switch on
the electricity when it is cloudy.
