A FEW “DON’TS” IN
TREATING A COLD
TREATMENTS TO BE AVOIDED.
WELL-MEANT ADVICE SOMETIMES
MAKES TROIBLE,
Uinta on tlie Dnniieri of SwcH
Until* anil Lubricant*—How to De
tect Symptom* in a Child Too
Young to Describe Pain.
"If women, and men. too, for that
matter, would take a rational, sensible
view of colds and the treatment there
of. the death rate would surely depre
ciate,” said a successful physician. "If
there is one thing that the average in
dividual likes to experiment with, it is
a cold. He tries first his own favor
ite remedy, then in turn each one ad
vised by his friends or neighbors, and
the physician is often his last court of
appeal. Sometimes the appeal
comes too late. I have known
women to try a different remedy once
in twenty-four hours, expecting each
one to work a miracle, when a cold is
not a disease to be halted in such
■hort order.”
A cold neglected is the first step in
acquiring an acute and dangerous pul
monary or bronchial disease, and a
cold half cured is the straight and
narrow path which leads to pneumo
nia.
Here are a few “cold don'ts” which
every home-maker will do well to hang
in her medicine closet along with the
directions for first aid to the injured.
Don't dose yourself with quinine,
temfi-kamnia, phenacetin or other
standard drugs without first consult
ing your family physician. Many of
these drugs act directly on the heart
and weaken it, so that there is not
sufficient vitality left to fight the cold.
Don’t pin your faith on the remedy
which cured your next door neighbor.
He may have had a tendency to pleu
risy, while you may be headed for
pneumonia.
Don’t rub camphorated oil or simi
lar lubricants on your chest unless you
cover it over with a flannel protector.
Lubricants of this sort open the pores
and aggravate the cold unless the
affected part is properly covered.
Don’t experiment with the cold-wa
ter cure unless you thoroughly under
stand it. This is sometimes effica
cious, but if improperly administered
It Is dangerous.
Don’t experiment with poultices if
symptoms of pneumonia exist. Flax
seed and bread-and-mllk poultices
should be used only by a trained
nurse, for Jf they are permitted to cool
they aggravate rather than relieve the
disease.
Don’t undertake the sweat process
before retiring unless you have proper
attendance. To soak the feet In hot
mustard water or to take a sltz bath
and then stop to turn out the light, or
trot around the room a few moments
before getting into bed. Is to do more
harm than good. Have the bath right
beside the bed, the latter warm and
well supplied with blankets. Turn
In at once and cover up to the chin.
Cold sheets or a draft will more than
counteract the effect of the sweat.
If you use idoine, don"t fail to have
glycerine mixed with it, otherwise
you will blister the skin. If you apply
a mustard plaster have white of egg
or flour mixed with it for the same
reason.
When a baby Is suffering from a
cold don’t administer a sleeping po
tion and Imagine that your are reach
ing the seat of the trouble. The cold
works Insidiously while the child Is
sleeping so heavily under the influ
ence of the opiate that you cannot
notice the aggravated symptoms.
If baby shows a tendency to take
cold on the slightest provocation, fol
low its daily bath with an alcoholic
rub. Many mothers can testify that
children treated this way are abso
lutely free from colds.
If the baby wakes out of sleep with
a sudden, hoarse barking cough, this
is not an ordinary cold, but croup If
the child breathes stentoriously, or, as
the old village nurse used to say. If
he has a whistling cough, sharp and
shrill, look out for capillary bronchitis,
the most dangerous disease for babies.
•In either case take the child at once
Into a warm room where no draft can
strike it and send for a physician.
After the first attack of croup a young
mother will know just how to act, but
she should treat the initial seizure
under the direction of a physician.

This expression was called forth by
the peculiar testimony of Policemen
Sehmerke and Umenger, who obtained
evidence against a resort in West Thir
ty-second street, and arrested a wom
an known as Emma Stein as the pro
prietress. She was bailed out by a
man named Davis. Vi hen the cases
came up Policeman Stein called:
"Is Emma Stein in court?"
A woman came forward and Sch
mecke. identified her.
"Do you swear this was the woman
you arrested?” asked Louis Lowenstein,
who, represented the woman.
"Yes,” replied Sehmeeke.
The other policeman was called and
he made a similar statement. The law
yer then asked that the policeman and
their witness be sent into a side room.
"Your Honor,” said Lowenstein, aft
er the witnesses had left the court
room, “this woman is a stranger to us.
She does not figure in this case. She
is not a prisoner. We don’t know
her. She is not the woman who was
arrested. She Is not the woman who
was bailed out.”
"What Is your name?” asked Magis
trate Barlow.
"Emma Flein," she replied.
"What are you doing here?”
"I came on a summons case. I
thought I heard my name called.”
"Where is the woman we want?”
asked Magistrate Barlow in amaze
ment.
The woman was in the hallway, and
she appeared before the Magistrate.
She said she was Emma Stein and ad
mitted that she was the woman ar
rested by Sehmeeke and Umenger.
The policemen were again called, and
a second time they wrongly identified
the Klein woman as the one arrested.
"How do you know this woman?”
asked the Magistrate.
"I remember her face and I distinct
ly remember her having spoken Hun
garian.”
An interpreter w'as called. He spoke
to the Klein woman In Hungarian, but
she did not understand it. Then hq
spoke to the Stein woman. She spoke
it fluently.
Magistrate Barlow was convinced the
policemen had made a grave mistake
and adjourned the case.

When informed by the head waiter
that ihe never Had heard of “mourning”

Inhabitants of Vicinity of Vesnvius
Little Afraid of It.
From the Galveston Daily News.
Within eight miles of Vesuvius is
Naples, where half a million people
live. These people view the wonder
ful phenomena with awe, but with lit
tle solicitude, since for ages they have
believed themselves immune from the
more serious results of the volcano's
violent moods. Great streams of lava
have flowed down the mountain side
into the bay of Naples, but they have
taken the short cut to the sea, leav
ing Naples to one side. The city oc
casionally suffers the discomfort of be
ing covered with volcanic dust, and
sometimes this material mixes with
the steam which is so large an element
in the activity of this volcano, and
then the walls and streets of the big
town are plastered with mud and the
beauty of Naples departs until her
face is well scrubbed: but these an
noyances are perhaps amply compen
sated for by the wonderful eight.
One bit of rock weighing about two
tons is said to have been ejected from
the crater the other day. Such a rock
is merely a plaything for Vesuvius.
It has been known to throw a consid
erable distance above the crater rim
great blocks of stone weighing be
tween thirty and forty tons. The di
rector of the Vesuvius observatory
seems to be sticking bravely to his
post and his instruments are recording
many hundreds of violent ebullitions.
The lava spilling over the crater
edge has melted the steel rails of the
funicular railroad. Of course, nobody
knows how hot this lava is at the mo
ment of emission, but facts have been
ascertained that give some conception
of it. It was found In 1855 that a
stream of lava which was barely mov
ing had a temperature of 1,228 degrees,
Fahr. On another occasion the lava
stream fused silver, the melting point
of which is 1,870 degrees. At another
time the melting of a piece of copper
wire indicated a temperature of not

who are not afraid to tinker in the
neighborhood of such high degrees of
heat, though they are liable to be
overwhelmed and destroyed by explo
sions In the superheated mass o< mol
ten rock.
One of these men Is the distinguished
Italian professor of geology, Mateucoi,
of the University of Naples. During
the emotion of 1900. when the boiling
lake of lava rose In the crater to with
in about 200 feet of Its rim, the pro
fessor spent days on the mountain
slopes and lived for three day* on the
edge of the crater. He saw many
large projectiles thrown to a hlgtit of
1,800 feet above the mountain. One
day, while peering over the edge, he
saw a block of unusual size rising
above the top of the crater. Hi# watch
was In his hand and he saw that the
projectile was in the air above Vesu
vius for seventeen seconds before it
reached terra flrma on the slope of
the mountain. He ascertained later
that its weight was approximately
thirty tons, and estimated that the
force that propelled this mass of rock
high Into the air was equal to 607,995
horsepower. He calculated that the
volume of solid material ejected from
the crater during the explosive period
of about two months was 2,500,000
cubic meters, and In that time about
thirty feet was added to the altitude
of the mountain.
When Vesuvius resumes Its placidity
and is again content to smoke lazily,
we are likely to hear something in

the present phases of activity.
