Wolf-hunting was j a favorite sport with the gentry, and l to kill wolves was regarded as saned duty of all Englishmen. French ' wolf hunters' cry was 'An Boup!' Au 1 I.oup' (to the wolf). These words I heard at a distance sounded like a loo', but the English, who always put 'h' on wherever they possibly can, put It on the words 'a loo', and when wolf hunting shouted 'ha loo.' This form we use when we call hello. Hotel Dorian .Pendleton, Is still the house of welcome.

Collaboratlog Epidemiologist of tht Oregon State I'oard oi' Heal ' In Co-OpernMon vrltfi the United States Public Health Service. Where did you get that cold? Winter days are here and with them comes the usual crop of coldl sniffling, coughing, and meeting, II you wish to be convinced of this Just make a visit to any of the churches, schools, theatres moving picture shows, or any public assembly, and notice how many people are affected with colds. This is not the fault ol the season however. Contrary to I the popular idea, colds are not caught from draughtB, cold air, open win- dows.or wet feet. Cold air does not cause a cold so long as vou are pro tected with warm clothing und are breathing fresh air. It is a well known fact that Arctic explorers nev er have colds until they got bak to civilisation. The engineers and rire- meO on the railroads are not the oner who catch fold, hut the pa sen-" In the train Colds are a gem de ease. Colds are therefore pre veniable, and are not at all nessasarj either li summer or winter. The air passages of a noriial In dividual are generally flooded with germs of all kinds, but these do not thrive unless thev are planted on favorable soil. The mucous mem branes of the respiratory tracts are provided with natural defences In Which gariUI are thrown off end des troyed. The dry stuffy air of n'enm heated apartments and public build ings is especially harmful, The convected heat from steam healed apartments and public buildings is found to be more trying on the muc ous membranes than the radiated heat from open fireplaces. How then can we avoid taking cold? A correct Idea of the cause of colds on the part or the laity Is nec essary In order to avoid them. Merer allow your rooms or apartments to become over-heated and stuffy. Avoid all crowded, congested, stuffy, and over heated places. Children with colds should not be allowed to go to school. Strict observance of the rules of personal hygiene will generally prevent the catching of colds. Per sons with Infected tonsils or adenoids should have them removed, as they are frequently Important factors in predisposing to colds. Cough and sneeze In your handkerchief and do not spread your cold One case of diphtheria and four cases of smallpox are reported In I'matilla county. To Hunt Fojjili in Patagonia.

BUSSES ROUT GAR 3 Motor Coaches Driving Out Trol ley in Some Towns. Good Rords Throughout the Country May Threaten the Electric Car's Existence. A town in Vermont tins now aban doned Its trolley line and is to sub stitute busses, it is announced that when the change goes Into effect the fare will be raised from 8 cents to 10. If the street railway company had put up the price no one would have stood for It, we presume. A street-cur fare is one thing, a bus fare another. Such Is our unitnalytical psy chology. Few opportunities are ofTered for getting more for your money than n ride on a street cur. no mutter what the rate charged. Yet trolley com panics here und there are being driven to tlie wall or out of business he cause people "kick" at u levltimuta fare, while they are willing to pay more for perhaps inferior, at least Irregular service. Picture the busses In this Vermont town getting proprietor, clerks and pa trons down to the store on Main street on the morning after heavy snowfall, They will be good snow btlt-kers If they do It, for they won't have any plowed-out trolley tracks to run In. This promises to he an Interesting ex periment on this account. Where husses heretofore have been tried Mthegj they have not operated where they had to contend with heavy snow or they have run in the tracks of the street railways. The motor bus Is multiplying in New York and In this state would probably have sent the Connecticut company's mils and curs to the Junk mun had not the public utilities com mission Intervened. In the city of London there are no street car lines. Motor busses apparently serve the city and environs dependably. Success of the motor bus in this country will In the end depend on the quality of service rendered. llercnhout the- trol ley seems to have certain advantages, in regularity, dependability, cost und UpbBilding f suburban territory which it would he u calamity to lose. It whs predicted tlilrty-nve yeurs ago, when the trolley was In Its Infancy, that u superior method of transportation would soon lUpplaOt It. Tile under ground cable and various other de vices bava had their duy and disap peared, hut the trolley still stops to tuke us abroad. It has been u fullh ful servunt. Street Improvement, of course, makes the motor bus a possible com petitor. Little advantage apparent! Inheres today In steel mils, us u well surfaced road provides for rubber tired vehicles good enough traction. Qovernmeot, state and town appro-, printing of hundreds of millions yeur ly for good roads have created a con dition thai may threulen the trolley's existence. If that tints comes th-re will have to he a lot of new lawmaking.--1 In 1 1 ford (Conn.) Times. United State Abounds in Game.
