While it was stated doefinitely that colds and flu are contracted from perâ€" sons suffering from those diseases, it was pointed out that chills, draughts, wet feet and other causes which bring about a sudden lowering of the temâ€" perature of the bodyâ€"particularly of one portion of itâ€"lower resistance to disease infections. This tendency is emphasized when the caustive virus is Any cold in a child or infant is dangerous.

Danger from the Common Cold and From the "Flu MONDAY, MARCH 17TH. 1941 "It is Dangerous to Wake Our Dead" till it beats in your breast like a drum. This is the Nelson touch. Pass on the newsâ€"he‘s awake! Nelson expects so much. Nelson expects that this day cach man, for the Island‘s sake, will do his duty. Do they know in ‘the North, theâ€"South, the East, the West? Let it go forthâ€" news of our little man with the smile and the fourâ€"fold star! Carry to Copenhagen the tale of our Isle and ou Carry the news to the Nile, to St, Vincent and Trafalgar! They‘ have waked Nelson, a spirit. He slept sound in his bed. * And no one had warned them, ‘they‘ did not kno how dangerous it is to wake Aur dean " Then the waves tear after each other, pass and repass each agog to be first, breaking in spray, welling and cresting the name they find easy to say: "Neélson! Nelson awake! ‘Tell the ‘Victory‘t" They tap at her side in the lulls, they whisper: "Nelson!" and flee, racing after the ships of the open sea, overtaking the Pleet, tapping the news in code: "Nelsonâ€"in Londonâ€"awake! He‘s in the ruined street. He‘s in the byway and slum. Nelson is everywhere. He stands in the wreck of the road. He sweeps up the broken glass. He fights with fire and despair. Heâ€"feels‘ for, he fingers your heart The boldest measures are safest . .. Let us attack! Lose not an hour! ... What? Leave off action? 1 really don‘t see the signal. Nail mine to the mast! That‘s how T answer such signals." There goes the frail little fellow, there, turning into Trafalgar Square just as the sirens blare! From the navement the pigeons rosé with a clatter and puff of wing. They might have been guns, not close, or ‘planes manoeuvering. "Caroo!" they gave their call, "Caroo!l We heard it said | often enough when we lodged with Paul that it‘s dangerous to wake the dead." "Hear! Hear!" screamed the gulls who ply between Channel and river. "All the air is aâ€"quiver with the invisible news. Nelson has stirred. Nelson has left his bed. Now let them shake in their shoes!t" Then, hissing w all the waves said: "Yes, indeed we have heard how dangerous it is to wake the dead." Then a wind drives along the Strand till the dustbins rattle. A gay, salt wind it is, with a rumour in it. "I haven‘t the slightest doubt that a very few days almost a very few hours will put us in battle." "What‘s that?" they shout from a taxi stand. The same voice answers: "Sooner the better, I said! I don‘t like to have these things on my mind." Then the drivers turn in amaze and stare. On roves the whispering spirit, * leaving rumors behind. "Things are beginning to happen at last," says London, brightâ€"eyed. "When we choose we move fast," says London pride. "Tell us more!" But the spirit has passed muttering: "We muast brace up! ‘they, The : before Beotwt but I neard a voice cry: ‘We have characters to lose. Those neople have none.‘ I sayâ€" that was a voice! I could follow that vaice." "S0o ©uld Tâ€"and whatever it chose to give, IT‘d rejoice to obey; I‘d never once shirk. ' DY‘you know what I thought it said? ‘T‘ll not be satisfied with less than twenty down‘." Yes! Yest Yes! Nobody warned them, they did not know, none said "It is dangerous to wake the dead." (By Clemence Dale in The Listener, London) They have dropped a bomb on St. Paul‘s ‘they‘ for their rame ‘shall not live. The roof was ripped up, masonry crashed un to the table laid before the inviolate Son. Between the enormous walls the Judsment infernal lashed racketing round the nave, till waves of thunder and dust broke against Nelson‘s tomb. Even then, ‘they‘ were not afraid. They were proud of all they had done. Nobody warned them, they did not know, none said: "It is dangerous to wake the dead."

Resistance to colds may be built up by good hygieni¢t habits, by fest, sunâ€" shine and exercise in the open air, and especially by generous diet, said the speaker. Hygienic habits include avoidance of contacts with infected persons, and the exclusion of common drinking cups, roller towels, pipes, toys, pencils and other objects which may be contaminated with secretions. The young woman went into the photographer‘s shop, and, producing a photo of her soldier friend, said: ‘"‘I want this enlarged. "Very good," said the assistant "Would you like it mounted." "Oh, yes," said the woman. "He‘ll look nice on a horse."â€"â€"Exchanige. "It was stated that some persons never syxffer from colds, having what is called a high degreée of immunity. Others endure a succession of colds with little apparent provocation. Also that one attack of cold does not render the sufferer immune froem further atâ€" tacks. Draughts and chills are not apt to injure persons in good physical condiâ€" tion, he declared; but they may easily prove injurious to small children, the aged and the exceptionally susceptible. They are equally so to those accustomâ€" ed to warm, still air. "It is not the engine drivers or firemen on trains who catch colid," said the speaker, "but the passengers in stuffy carriages. already lurking in nose or throat, said the speaker. our Isle and our wart The Advance gave considerable space to the endorsement of the attitude fakâ€" en by Capt. Tom Magladery, M. P. P. for â€"Temiskaming in regard to the poor methods of enforcement of the Mothers‘® Allowance Act. Capt. Magâ€" ladery made the charge in the Legisâ€" lature that the act was being spoiled and rendered useuess by the red tape methods adopted. There had been imâ€" provement in the enforcement of the act in the past twenty years, but The Advance would be inclined to cheer again if a membeér of the Legislatue attacked it now somewhat after the brave manner of Capt.

Twenty years ago The Advance had the followinzx paragraph, giving the opinion of an outsider on a matter of general interest:â€" ‘"Coach Geo. Mcâ€" Namara, of the Soo Hockey team, while in town last week mentioned with eyvâ€" ident appreciation the attention paid to hockey in this current issue of the Advance. He suggested that the press could do and was doing a lot to supâ€" port and help along good, clean, fast hockey and other sport. "The whols tone of your paper," Coach McNamara told a Timmins man, "is such as to make your people proud of their hockâ€" O. H. A. finals.

W. Gibson, Deputy Minister of Mines of Ontario emphasized the fact that he b:lieved that gold prospects in Norâ€" thern Ontario surpass those of every other known field on the North Amerâ€" ican continent. It is a great pity that the Deputy Minister has not eloquence enough to convince the preséent Onâ€" tario Government of this fact and to persuade them to give the mining inâ€" dustry here a fair square deal so that it may have opportunity to develop and fulfill its destiny‘". " Twenty years ago there was a conâ€" ,cert andâ€"dance given in Schumacher ,in aid Oof th> Porcupine hockey club, Fand the event was a remarkably pleasâ€" ing and succ>ssful ons form all standâ€" points. In compiling this column the amount of space given to advertis> this levent in The Advance has been noted. After th> preliminary publicity there cams a lengthy report of the event jn the Advance of March 9th, 1921. The opening paragraph this extended report read as follows:â€""The concert and dance given Monday in the new MicIntyre Re:creation hall at Schuâ€" macher, for the benefit of the Poreuâ€" pine Hockey Club, proved an unqualâ€" ifiled success. Th attendance was large, over 400 taking in the event, and the programme furnished was one of outstanding merit. Mrs. Parker, who directed the big and attractive proâ€" gramme, and all the others concerned in the presentation of the concert and the arrangement for the dance are certainly to be congratulated on the enjoyable success achieved by the evâ€" ening‘s programme. A large number from Timmins went over to Schumachâ€" er for ihe occasion and ail are agreed that the McIntyre hall makes an ideal place for concerts and dances and that Schumacher has a very striking array of outstanding talent for such events". Th> Advance then proceeded to deal with the programme in full. For several years prior to 1921 The Advance had been advocating the creâ€" Ation of a mining court with the then mining commissioner T. E. Godson as judgs. . The plan was simply an exâ€" tension of the authority of th> minâ€" ing commissioner in the interests of the prospeector and mining men genâ€" erally. The work of commissioncr Godâ€" son (now judge of the mining court) had proven so available in the case of mining litigation on a limited plan that it was felt «hat the> ex:nsion of his authority to have full jurdiscation over all strictly mining litigation in reâ€" gard to patented or unpatented mining claims would be in the gensral public intrrests and especially in the interests of the prospector. _ Accordingly The Advance gave. very endors>â€" ment Of the bill introduced by Mr. Chas. McCrea to create a mining court. This bill was introduced twenty years ago in the Ontario Legislature and it won. general approval. The record of the mining court and of its first judg» Judge Godson, has fully justified th> Adavocacy of the plan.

Some 6,000 Canadian geese have been reported shot and have keot so accurately to their inigration route that only were reported shot west of the Missâ€" issippi.

Well, as I bhave said, you can‘t buy this book. It‘s the property of the litâ€" tle pilgrims® who come to us from castles and slums, each with the new Pilgrim‘s Progress, in his hands. But because they bring it over here, no one can say that they come emptyâ€" handed. And when they hear bad news from home, here are strong words from the Bible to comfort them: Yes, says This Token of Preedom, the spirit of freedom is immortal. Great Britain is more than geography, more than empire and seas and isles. Great Britain is what we believe it to be And the idea is this, which appears over and again in all the great writâ€" ings of Britons and Americans, that no one can conquer free men; they can only conquer themselves by forgetting the things thy live by. The things people live by are expressed in words. And here is Shakespeare: This England never, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror . . Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Noup shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true "Let tyrants fear. I have placed my chief strength in the loyal hearts of my subjects Therefore <I am come amongst you, being resolved in the midst of heat of battle to live and die amongst you all, to lay down for my God and my people my honor and my blood, even in the dust. I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman: but I have the heart and stomach of a King and of a King of England, too." Now, who should write such a little book? When the people who felt this need asked themselves this question, they knew that the book was already writâ€" ten. It had been written for two thousand years, decade by decade and century by century, by all the great men who loved freedom and lived and wrote and died for it. That race of heroes were Greeks and Italians and Frenchnien and British and Ameriâ€" cans. They had written the words that ‘have kept the kingly spirit and the dream of true democracy alive in this world for all the two thousand years. They are the prophets of the Bible: they are Plutarch and Pericles and Shakespeare and Milton, Dante and Lincoln, and many, many others. Nothing in this book tells the childâ€" ren that the cause of freedom is to be cheaply rewon in this world. It tells a tale of a thousand years of suffering for freedom, and of battles often nearâ€" ly lost but always won in the end. The great English poet, William Blake says to them: Let Liberty the Chartered right of field, Enerve my soldiers; let Liberty Blaze in each countenance and fire the battle. Little girls are reminded that it was a girl who brought England to one of her highest moments â€" Queen Elizaâ€" beth. And here, for the little girl sailing to a new land over dangerous seas, here are Elizabeth‘s words to her troops just before the great Armada: Englishmen Won by our fathers in many a glorious Britons who love their country and some â€" Americans living in England that ‘the children departing . should take with them a memorial of Britain. This memorial had to be something so convincing and so beautiful that it would bhurn its words unforgettably inâ€" to the mind of the child reader. It had to be something so immortal that no matter what happened to Britain the children who understood its meanâ€" ing would carry Britain forever in their hearts and pass the torch on to their children. I must cherish them and hold them sacred as long As I live.". It contains a summary of all the things that Britain is fighting for. But it was not compiled in a Propaganda Ministry. The story of how it came about is something like this: » "This Token of Freedom was given to meâ€"â€"â€"when I was â€"â€" years old, by somcone who loved these words and knew what they meant, and knew why About the Little Token of Freedom From Britain (By Dorothy Thompson) I have on my desk a little bookâ€"a little book small enough to put in your pocket and only sixty pages long.
