IIIS Is tho season of tho year when many persons endanger tholr health boemtso they fear cold air. Too many persons nra Ignorant of tho fact thnt tho gospel of health Is largely tho gospel of fresh air. Thoy shut themselves within heated rooms until their phy rlcnl condition becomos so wenkenod that n draft of cold air causes n shock to the whole body. Deop breathing for short intorvala will brenk up a cold when drugs on ly dendon tho senses and shock tho system. This remedy lenves tho body normal and strong instead of agitat ed and weakened. Fresh air Is tho best snfeguard against pneumonia, which is a germ disease, being most cnBlly contract ed In ill-ventilated houses and crowd ed city slums nnd loast common among lumbermen and other men of tho plains. Thoso who dcnl most rntlonnlly and carefully with tho health ques tion will bear these facts in mind nnd use tho open ntr as n safeguard against sickness Instead of fearing It as a cnuso of illness. ndvlco for both parties: if nnVthlng, n llttlo bottor for tho express com-fi panics than ror tlio fruit men; lor If tho former will not tako a livelier Interest in tho matter of choapor dis tribution thnn thoy nro displaying now,- tho government Is likely to step lu nnd tako tho carrying business away from them.

It Is worth whllo now whllo tho wont is fresh In our minds to take this porsonnl view of Christmas. Too much It Is tho habit of mm to dlsassoclato thomsclvos from tho blessings of tho world.

That, In othor words, ono horBO can haul on n cut stono road n much as four horses on a gravol rond. Napoleon found, also, that tho reslstanco per ton of lond on grades was: Ono per cont grndo, 105 pounds. Two and ono-half por cent grndo, 11-1 pounds. Throo por cont grndo, 137 pounds. Four pbr cent grade, 155 pounds. Flvo per cont grndo, 190 pounds Six per cont grndo, 210 pounds.
