A cold in the head clears up in about 10 days, if the nasal passages are normal and the patient ts in good physical condition, otherwise the cold Ungers indefinitely, Often the nasal inflammation becomes chronic, so that the patient seems constantly ta be catching fresh “colds.” In the commonest form of chronic inflammation, the patient is troubled with a large amount of mucus and pus which collects in the nose and throat. This is noticed, especially, in the mornings when considerable coughing and-hawking are required to permit free breathing. After a time, such a patient becomes more or less of & mouth breather, par- Ucularly at night, and the tonguo is consequently very dry when he wakes up. Snoring is a common con- sequence of this condition and the digestion is impaired in the majority of instances. The air passages lead- ing from the nose to the throat and to the eye may be involved. Deaf- neas of some degree is not uncom- mon, Headache and neuralgia are frequently present. The sense of smell is impaired or destroyed and the voice loses {ts clear ring. The inflammation interferes with the mucous glands that moisten the lin. ing membrane of the nose. Some of them waste away and disappear and this, in “turn, makes things worse, Occasionally, the disease takes an- other form, sometimes called “dry catarth.” In this, the lining vessels, nerves and even the bone Itself, un- dergoes a process’ of shrinking and wasting away. A disngreeable odor is imparted to the breath from the decaying scab-lke crusts which cling to the dry mucous membrane, but the 10th of February, in 1309, John Comyn was murdered by Robert Bruce in the convent of the Minerite friars, Bruce and Comyn were rival Scottish nobles who had finally settled their differences in order to make common cause against Edward of England. Comyn report- ed the projected alliance to Edward and was slain by Bruce for his treachery. In 1567, on the 10th of February, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, was murdered, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her cousin-germain. He alien. ated the queen's affections by bis ~insolence and profligacy and finally destroyed {t entirely by his share in the murder of her Italian secretary, Rizzio, While Darnley was conva- lesecing from an attack of smallpox at Kirk o’Field, a solitary house near Kdinburgh, the house was blown up with gunpowder by the Harl of Bothwell, presumably with the queen's knowledge and consent. Darnley’s remains were buried tn the chapel at Holyrood, On the 10th of February, in 1768, the first treaty of Paris, ending the French and Indian War, was signed, The war had lasted from 1754 to 1763. ‘The treaty ceded all Canada, a large part of which had been set- tled by the French, to England, In 1775, on the 10th of February, Charles Lamb, the English essayist, was born On the 10th of February, in 1786, Cardinal de Solis, a noted Spanish prelate, died at the age of 110.

FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Wrank Crane) Will some one kindly hold my coat while I take a dive into politics? I am not supposed to write about political matters, which is the reason why I now hereon and hereby do it, and you wouldn’t deny a body the pleasure of doing something he oughtn’t to do, once in a while, would you? Hence I advance and in loud, firm tones nominate Mr. Herbert Hoover for President of the United States, for the following rea- sons, to-wit and namely: 1. He is neither a member of the Repub- lican nor of the Democratic Party, so far as we have been able to discover by reading the newspapers. We have tried Republicans and we have tried Democrats. Suppose we try just a Man. Then maybe the opposing Party will not feel called on to hate, curse, slander, and lie about him, no matter what he does. 2. Hoover would make a good candidate for the biggest Class in the U. 8. A., which is not the Labor Unions, nor the Capitalistic Class, but the Intermediary Class. 8. He would represent the Public, and not some compact and vociferous band of grafters. 4. He would be recommended for the job, not because he favors Gompers and Lewis, not because he is a friend of Big Business, not because he loves the South, not because he is for or against booze, not because he is for female suffrage, not because he ren- dered conspicuous services to his Party— Oh, no—nothing of the sort—but simply because HE HAS MADE GOOD. Which is the only sensible reason for choosing a man for any job on earth, from building a woodshed to running the govern- ment. This also is in line with the Scriptures—+ “Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things.” 5. The man who fed Europe without waste or scandal ought to be able to manage this country without raising continual Cain, 6. He would probably use Business Sense | in the office and not Party Politics. Isn't i about time we try to run this country as Armour runs his packing trust or Gary his steel mills, that is, with the idea of GET- TING THINGS DONE, and not as the Old Guard runs the political machine, that is, with the idea of providing jobs for the boys? 7. He is not an Orator. Action. 8. He’s been around a lot and knows Europe and the World, and would not be provincial minded. 9. He would have the kind of Americanism that means Humanity and Progress and would spare us the flannel-mouthed Ameri- canism of the land-lotter, the Sinn Feiner or the A. P. A. And 10, he’s not looking for the place, which helps some. 4 Haven’t we had about enough hysteria © and whoop-la and posing and prancing, and isn’t it about due us now to settle down to Business? And does any name mean Business better than Hoover?

I think the eviction law, but I believe there the fair rental committee is neglect- ing its duty. Where is our sup posed Americanism? Where are the hearts of men, and justice? How long are we to stand such cruelties and barbarism? Is there any won- der that good citizens turn to “Bol- shevism"” and every other form of “ism? It seems to me that we are allowing ourselves to is room for criticiam, when a Jap who comes here to fill his pockets with American wealth alone (and that is all they want), is allowed, and in fact assieted, as is very clearly proven in this case, in ex tortion thru our good American laws, How long could a white degenerate|man last in Japan if he continued when we can allow ourselves to be-| making himself despised as the Jap lieve that such actions as are here is doing in this country?
