' .After the war Coionei Knight came to Salem, arriving; here In ' 1&67, and he immediately began to practice law here, and in 1&63 .his business had grown such proportions that he took in. as his business partner, hla former fellow-soldier Major.

They were very (Successful In the law business.! and when they dissolved the partnership, both had become well-to-do. - , In 1870, Colonel Knight became the husband of. Miss Sarah U.

Simpl Precautions That Will Enable Any On in Ordinarily Good Health to Pass Through tho Cold Weather i Without the Usual Baneful Results. A famoua English doctor once wrote In the Lancet. A chilly man la at sica roan-wi If that is true the percenUge of invalid In the American public i somewhat appalling. A New York doc tor, when asked about hi English con f rere'a ataXement,. .laughed, -bui rave hla Indorsement. - - t 4 - . - 1 Of course, that doesn't mean that every man who feels" oold Is riously 1IL- heaaid: -but. a a matter of fact. only very exceptional exposure I uf- Adent excuse for .a well man's su tier ing from cold In any climate to which he la accustomed. If ordinary - .ex- posu,re in this climate can make a per son uncomfortably cold, there la some thing wrong with that person's physi cal condition or clothing. T I -Taking cold isn't a matter'of tem perature. ' It la a question of physical condition. Fatigue cause more colds than all the draught that blow. : A draught isn't going to harm a. man whose nerve and circulation are In perfect tone. A man goea home, fagged and jaded at the end of the day. lie goes to an evening function. In dress clothes, takes liberties with hi stom ach or nerve. He 1 chilly, take cold and swear It wa all a matter of temperature or draught. If hi blood wa pure, hi nerve steady . and his digestion good.- the temperature wouldn't, have affected him.. "Quite aside from , the problem of what we call cold, the ordinary sensa tions of cold seldom have an external cause. Their cause is Internal. The men and women who go, shivering; along our streets in winter weather ought not to be cold, unless they have some disease that explain their chl ni nes. v,Tliey think they can reme.dy matters by piling on heavy clothing. It can't be done that way. Naturally, warm clothing will not help to offset a low temperature, but It will not make a man warm if there' Is, as I usually the case, some Internal reason why he is cold. - - -:,,'' "1 believe that fully three-fourths of our people wear too many . heavy clothes In cold weather. - They feel cold and the only , thing; they ..think of doing is to put On another thickness of flan nel. ' Warm clothing i all right, but heavy clothing Isn't, and the close fit ting flannels that are so universally worn are an abomination. They keep he fkin from breathing, and. the mor ment the skin gets out of breath, the owner of the skin, will be cold, even If ne wears nannei ana rur a roo mica. "It seem queer to me that people will never learn and put In practice the simple rule that'Win Insure them comfort In cold weather. Putting aside Invalids, well take the man who considers himself perfectly well, but Who gets blue and, shivers on a cold day. Ills circulation is out of gear. He must find the cause and remove It, if possible. If . not, he most offset it, as, far as he can. by simple and ration al means. - . ; . "Imperfect, digestion, may have Im poverished his blood. ' Then he must forswear gastronomic ' indulgence and eat plain food that will make pure blood. The first plunge Into wintry air, out of a warm nouse, will always make the pores gasp, and drive the blood from the surface to the Inner fortresses In the big veins and arteries and around the vital parts of the body? but. If he circulation Is good, the re action will follow .almost immediately. and the blood will flow, back to the sur face with a rush, producing a fine ting ling glow. "In order to bring about this happy condition, a, man must take care of his body and encourage his circulation. Pure air. Wholesome food, plenty of exercise, frequent bathing and ventila tion of the skin, and avoidance of sweltering clothes will put the average man wnere ne can clery any winter weather this climate can furnish. If his nose and fingers do get cold tem porarily in jxtreme -ceSv they . will warm up quickly and general prolong ed chilliness will be unknown to him. ''Our houses and office are too-hot. We all know that. So far as possible we should remedy It; but, unfortunate ly, it isn't always possible, especially in an at-artrnent house or. office build ing. , Wkto one can't keep the temper ature down , to some point between 60 and 70: degrees preferably nearer 60 degrees than 70 degrees one must grin and bear It and-do what one can to counteract the injury. At least, let the air be pure. Foul air Is worse than a draught, indeed, if a msn is in prime condition. a draught ought not to harm hlm One great physician of thi generation used to turn ' cold draughts of air on small sections of a patient's Inxly until he got the patient Into a condition where he could en dure the cold current, on his whole body. -1 ' ,-; '.: .-'-"".! 'Few; persons understand how des perately the skin needs ventilation. A large majority of my patients, I verily believe, do not expose their whole bodies to the air once, from September to June. Now, that Is ridiculous. ' It would be suicidal for a person who wasn't used to itjlo take off all his clothes and loiter around In a room at ordinary temperature, but the thing may be don by degrees, and the body needs art ah bath at least once a day. If the skin I to do It duty by the blood and nerves. For. the same reason the skin must have its dally water bath. 1 favor the cold plunge for few persons, I think the warm tub bath should be used sparingly, tout a sponge bath, followed by vigorous friction, everybody should have nee a day. Cold water I preferable, out tnai, tixe the air bath, may be a matter of edu cation. Bathe on portion of the body In tepid water, keejrlna; the rest of the body covered. As the shock lessens with habit, bare more of the body at one tme. When 3rou are hardened to exposure to air and tepid water, grad- uaUy lower the, temperature of the water untU you arejtaklng a sponge : bath In cold water. That word ionre bath 1 -a mlsnomerl I hate snge. , They are germ and filth carriers. Use your hands, or, better, a rough wash rag; that win create friction and. can be boiled between baths. Don't one wash fajjr for a week aj rone peo ple do. The thoughtless tincJeanUneas of decent people la ... beyond my com prehension. , Take the matter "ofl underwear. That's right In line -with the cold cure we are discussing. Nine persons out of ten wear soiled underwear next the akin. . X admit that laundry bill would keep many, SifVe plutocrat, from changing every day. which! Is the Ideal course, but. at least underwear may be welt ventilated between wearing. I advise, keeping two suits going at once, wear a suit one a ay. ut 11 where It will be well ventilated in fresh air toe next day and don a sec ond suit. Alternate the two suits un til both are soiled. Then have a new deal. The rule will be worth money to you but be sure to hang the suit you are not wearing; out ln the fresh air, Don't tuck It away in a.dau-k closet. tWhlle- we are talking about under wear, wool 5 la unquestionably - more conducive to warmth than anything one can wear, but there Is absolutely ho sense in wearing flannels as thick as a board. If all wool 1 irrltatca the akin too much : llght-wnlt NsHk and wool mixture W quite as gi a oerson stmplyx will not wool silk Is the next best most of the physicians w agree with me that ailk an excellent underwear mixture.
