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— u..-__-- Meat is a bundle of lean, muscular thing, helter-skelter.

Everybody has noticed how they will run through a family. They sweep through a city, through a whole pro- vince, attacking nearly everybody and.. carrying off the aged, the very young, 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.

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 fat appearabeee Cland shot d havefirm ina 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. Casserole of Shin Beef • 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 The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.

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. The Tarascans, it is said, once pos- sessed the secret of tempering copper .art that is now lost to the world, This Watch Free TO ANY BOY "When you have read you carry away with you a memory of the man himself; it is as though you had touched a loyal hand, looked into brave eyes and made a noble friend," Stevenson.

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. - The Government has a fifty -acre farm under experiment at Hereford, and Swansea is contemplating start- ing an experiment on its own, point- ing out that the cost of installation will only be t2550. The electricity is conveyed to the soil by means of wires, and it seems that the electric discharge does Just sounded only once, when it is a posi- tive legal requirement that it should have been sounded twice, once for each dog." So convincing was this argument that the country justice would not even give the railway attorney a hear- ing, and awarded the plaintiff the full amount of damages for which he had sued.
