The slogan in all colors and types will be found in stores throughout the city. Shelves are being stocked with fragile packages, windows are being decorated with Christmas goods and then, there's the sign: "Do Your Ohristmas Bhop- ping Early." Bvery year the week before Christmas is a nightmare to hun- dreds of people who have done no wrong other than to attempt to earn a living by serving their fel- low human beings.

THE ALL-REVEALING AD. A century from now a file' of the padyertising pages of the newspaper and magazine of today would pro- vide a complete history of the cus- toms and characteristics of the per- fod, These advertisements record what the people are wearing, the problems of the day, current thought and the traits of the generation. Pick up any issue of the family newspaper and there in word and picture is the story of the day, Pre- serve that issue and posterity a cen- tury from now can tell what the men and women of this generation wore, what their mode of transportation was, how they were amused and en- tertained. The advertisements have made the past an open book. Picture a man in the year 2024 chancing upon a file of this news. paper for the year 1924. to the advertising pages he would see arrayed before his eyes the styles in wearing apparel for men, women and children of one hundred years ago. He would see the types of au- tomobilés in use and from the num- ber of automobile advertisements he would deduce that the automobile was in great favor and universal use. By the same reasoning he would learn that the radio was in great demand even exceeding in popularity the phonograph and player plano, Training in the art of sleuthing would not be necessary for this reader of the advertisements of the the cancer-cure ads, that cancer was a menace to the generation and, from other ads, the obesity and exceed- ing thinness concerned the public ds greatly as the malignant cancer, The advertisements are also a re- cord of economic conditions, reveal- ing market prices and estimating the supply and demand. For the discerning contemporary reader the newspaper advertisements afford more interesting and valuable information than he can preserve for posterity. WORRY, Most worries aré about things that never : happen. Most things which provoke worry could be pre- vented. ' And most people go out of their way to find something to worry about. Thomas Edison asks: Why should try? Their lives are made up of those vast, ineessant worries from which the average individual is hap- plly spared. Worry, worry, that is méh and women worry their lives they haven't the wor- Turning any one envy the captains of indus~ @ evil of life." And yet how many fmdustry to ries.

Epidemics of colds are beginning to go the rounds. Their season has | started. .~A doctor writes, urging | people to.do away with the handker- | chiet and use, instead, squafes of cheesecloth which can be burned la- | ter, along with the germs. The use of the handkerchief is the most un- | | sanitary and unhealthful practice of | | civilized man. Going Into the] family 'wash, it is apt to spread its cargo of germs. Few people boil | clothes long enough to kill germs. | To kill the tuberculosis germ, for instance, requires as much as twenty minutes of boiling. Cheesecloth is | cheap. It is easily burned, Common | sense suggests its use at all times, certainly when we have a cold. A person with a cold expectorates in the street. The sputum dries up Land the germs are blown around in| the dust. Inhaled, they transfer the | cold to other victims. Safety would | not be assured even if we wore gas | masks over nose and mouth, for | | germs can enter the body through | the eyes. Diseases cannot be ourbed | unless everyone of us is decent enough to do his part to safeguard | others . And the common cold is | easily the worst malady we have. | The average person has several colds a year. He feels wretched. | His work suffers, Probably he is confined to the house for a few days. Nationally, the thing mounts up into a tremendous économie logs. We are constantly being attacked by germs. Whether we are able to hold them in check depends largely on our powers of bodily resistance. Plenty of sleep; moderation in eat- ing; regular exercise and lots of fresh air--all these help. "Colds" are improperly named. They might be better known as "hots," since they usually bring fever. Appar- ently they got their popular name because they are most prevalent in cold weather. Above all, we should mark and remember this false no- tion--the popular saying, "Feed a cold and starve a fever." This say- ing originated more than 2,000 years ago when Hippocrates, the Greek "father of medicine," said: "It we feed a cold, you will have ito starve a fever." Time has twisted his 'words and thereby falsified their meaning, Hippocrates was right Starve your cold, { | | | | Tenth Anniversary | Of the Great War November 12th, 1914.

Besides the captain and the prince, 154 Germans were saved off this warship, : The Russian navy causes the Turks many great losses.

You have perhaps wondered why you were bothered with the ordinary "colds" so much. You see that your home is well heated, but not really too hot, 2nd likewise In your office the heating system Is all right, because the tem- perature can be regulated. g You wear warm clothing when you go out, and take off your heavy coat as soon as you get indoors. And yet you hage col And then you remember.one of your friends who never seems to have a cold. He doesn't seem to be any stronger physically, mor to en- joy any better general health than you do. He is In the adjoining office to you, and wears about the same kind of clothes. Why do you get the colds, why does he escape? The answer is very simple. He walks to the office or to work, and you ride. Now this may be due to the great- er distance you live from your work, and walking therefore would be per- haps too much effort. 3 However that one little thing, walking or exercise, may be the one thing that keeps your friend free from colds, and. your lack of walking or éxercise, renders you a fit subject for a cold to tackle. Now why is exercise such a fac- tor? Well, most colds are from expo- gure to dampness, or to crowds where the ventilation is poor. ' Your friend, if he gets damp, has so strengthéned his heart muscle, that his blood is pumped more vigor- ously to every part, so that he not only gets the good blood to the part, but he removes the impure bloed from the tissués more effectively than you do. The exercise not only strengthens His heart muscles, but likewise stim- nlateg the muséles about the abdo- men, actually massages the intes- tines themselves, so that the waste is carried along, and thence outside the body. In other words, his fuel burns bet- ter than yours in his body, and he gets rid of the ashes more rapidly than you. You can thus gee that a cold that {s looking around to locate, doesn't have much chance with him. His body is able to resist, fight it off. and to KINGSTON IN 1854 Sidelights From Our Files JUVENILE PIETY, August 7.----~Edward Nixon ,a lame boy about tem years old, charged Richard Irwin, 14 years, with as- gault.
