" 'Don's trifle with a oold ' is good
advice for prudent men and women. It

Proper food, good ventilation, and dry,
warm olothlng are tha proper safe
guards against colds. If they are main
tained turouih the changeable weath
er of autumn, winter and eprlng, the
chances of a surprise from an ordinary
oold will be slight. But the ordinary
light cold will become severe if neg
lected, and a well estaDiienea ripe ooia
is to the germs of dintherfa what hon
ey is to the bee. - The greeteet menace
to child lite at this season of tbs yesr
is the neglected oold." Whether it isa
child or adult, the cold slight or severe.
the very beet treatment that can be
adopted Is to give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It Is safe and sore. The
great popularity and Immense sale of
this preparation has been attained by
its remarkable cures of this ailment.

FISHING LINES.

Silkworm gut forms the best line tor
fishing purposes, partly on account of
Its great tenacity and portly because it
is so transparent Every year a suf
ficient number of Spanish silkworm
grubs are selected for this purpose. Aft
er they have eaten enough mulberry
leaves and before they begin to spin
they are thrown Into vinegar for sev
eral hours. Each insect Is killed, and
the substance which tbe grub In ths
natural course would have spun Into a
cocoon Is forcibly drawn from tbe dead
worm Into a much thicker and abort er
aUken thread.
