~ People Don’t Catch Cold But Have Fever ~
Inflammation of the Nasal Mucus Membrane is the Cause of the
Contagious Disorder. Germ Not Known.
Common So-called “colds” are the most widespread and least
dangerous of all infections. The term, “catching cold” hides a tremendous amount
of ignorance and relieves many a careless physician from
criticism.
Many persons believe that exposure to cold and drafts
produces this trouble, hence the term “catching cold” is an actual matter of
fact a thermometer will show that instead of having caught cold, we really have
fever. If a person has made a hot house plant of one’s self, then exposure to
drafts and cold may do some harm, but more colds are caught by going into poorly
ventilated and crowded rooms than by exposure to cold. Under these conditions
there is often times a dryness of the nose and throat, which certainly makes it
more liable to infection. The normal secretion of our noses is a protection
against infection; the flow being outward and washing out dirt and germs. The
action of this secretion is readily seen when one’s nose is blown after a dusty
railroad trip. Exposure to drafts in a person who is not accustomed to an
abundance of fresh air sometimes produces a similar result.
Colds are unquestionably contagious at what germ produces
them is not positively known. It seems certain that several kinds have the
??wer, since the “cold” is only an inflammation of the nasal mucus membrane, and
is not a specific disease in the sense that typhoid fever and tuberculosis are.
“Colds” occur in epidemics and are spread by direct contact of one person with
another. Sneezing is one way in which “colds” are generally
spread.

and the week was the largest since its founding.
A special part of the program this year was prepared for the
wives and children of the farmers and they attended in large numbers. Special
demonstration courses for the ruralists of a practical nature were given during
the week and met with much favor. The week ended Friday night with a banquet at

~ George KIDD ~
George KIDD was born March 5th, and died December 27th, 1916,
at the age of 89 years, 9 months and 22 days.
In 1847 he was married to Miss Hannah CADWALLADER. To this
union were born ten children.
Fifty years or more ago he professed faith in Christ as his
savior and joined Cedar Hill Baptist church. Since he was lived a consistent
Christian life. He loved his family and labored with his hands that he might be
able to supply their needs. He was a friend to humanity and was always willing
to help those who came to him for assistance. His kindness commended the respect
and good will of all who knew him. He was an honest man and a useful citizen, a
loving father and a consecrated Christian, and his influence in each of these
spheres will long live. His life was one of self sacrifice for he loved his
neighbor as himself. Of such as he was it said: “There remainith a rest to the
people of God.”
Of his relatives who survive there are 7 children, 81 grand
children, 65 great grandchildren and four great great grand
children.
All that was mortal of Brother KIDD was laid to rest in the
Cedar Hill cemetery December 29, in the presence of a large number of friends
and relatives. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, E. J.
HAMRICK.

~ Appreciation for Blind Chaplain of U. S. House
~
Rev. Henry N. COUDEN, the blind chaplain of the House of
Representatives, has lately had to endure a further
affliction. His devoted wife, who for many years has guided his steps every
morning to the Capitol for the opening exercises of the House has suffered a
paralytic stroke, and his daughter has now taken her place. In appreciation of
his many years of service the House, on motion of one of the Republican leaders
has adopted a special resolution granting a substantial increase to Mr. COUDEN’S
salary.
A Democratic member from Indiana interposed a characteristic
objection to such “extravagance”, but he was promptly overruled.
Rep. RUREAU.
~ Robbers Caught ~
Stanley C. DAVIS, alias KING and Joseph HAWKINS, the youngsters who were arrested by
Carrol BYRD for the robbery of Funk’s Drug Store at Festus, were taken to St.
Louis Thursday by Sheriff CLARK and United States Post Office Inspector, B. F.
CAIN. The boys were wanted by the
Post Office authorities for robbery of the post office at Maupin, Missouri. It
is understood that they have the postal stuff cached in St. Louis and they were
taken there to locate it as well as the remainder of the stuff stolen from the
drug store.
DAVIS, although only about 21 years old is said to have a
police record from coast to coast and to have Bertillion measurements in most of
the principal cities of the country. It is not known whether they will be
prosecuted here for the robbery of the drug store or turned over to Uncle Sam,
but in any event the young men face a long term of penal servitude as they have
admitted their guilt to both cases or so we are informed.
~ Cost of the War ~
Fourteen nations made up of fifty different races are
involved in the war which has made Europe a slaughterhouse for two years and a
half, and according to the latest estimates, a toll of more than six million
lives has been taken at the war fronts, to say nothing of the thousands of non
combatants who have died.
The contending nations are: Russia, Italy, Romania, Serbia,
Japan, Montenegro, Portugal, Central Powers - Germany, Austria, Hungary, Turkey,
Bulgaria.
In addition to the dead, placed at six million, it I
estimated by the War Study Society of Copenhagen that the wounded on Dec. 1st,
totaled 13,119,516 and that the invalids numbered 3, 935,938.
And the missing, those, whose fates will never be known, it
is estimated will reach nearly five million.
The heaviest losses of the war, as estimated by the War Study
Society up to the first of the month are distributed as follows:
Country

gases.
~ Changes in Railway Lawyer ~
Norman A. MOZLEY of Bloomfield, who for many years has
represented the Iron Mountain Railroad in this and other southeast Missouri
counties has resigned his position to succeed to the position held by Judge
Moses WHYBARK as General Attorney for the Frisco. Judge WHYBARK gave up the
place which he has held since the Frisco came into this territory and has made a
splendid official for that railroad. MOZLEY has made a splendid reputation as a
successful lawyer, and has endeared himself to the people of the county with
whom he associated during his trips here. He is an orator of the convincing sort
and is a man of large information, of broad gauge, of liberal ideas and of high
ideals as to social and civic life. He will no doubt make Cape Girardeau his
headquarters and is sure to be a force in that city. Mr. H. H. LARRIMOR, who has
been assistant to Judge James F. GREEN at the general law office of the Missouri
Pacific Ry. in St. Louis will have charge of Jefferson, Iron and Washington
Counties. J. C. SHEPPARD at Poplar Bluff will have charge of BUTLER, STODDARD,
RIPLEY and WAYNE and W. C. RUSSELL at Charleston will have charge of the
remaining counties of Southeast Missouri.
~ Pierre L. CLERC Convicted ~
Pierre L. CLERC, charged with assault with intent to kill
Felix
LEUTZINGER was convicted and fined $100.00 by a jury in the
circuit court this week. It is said that the jury originally stood 8 for
acquittal and 4 for conviction and on the next ballot 9 for acquittal. CLERC’s
defense was that he was temporarily insane, due to the fact that he claimed that
LEUTZINGER had invaded and despoiled his home.
LEUTZINGER denied all or any improper action and the trial
resulted as stated. CLERC will not appeal from the decision and it is hoped that
this will be the end of the matter, although there is some talk that CLERC will
sue LEUTZINGER for damages.

~ News Comment And Editorial ~
The United States Supreme Court has upheld what is known as
the Web-Kenyon Act, and every state will have complete control of the sale of
intoxicating liquors. Hereafter prohibition states may forbid the conveyance
into the state of liquors, and consequently interstate carriers would not be
protected for violation of such a law. It looks very much as though the
prohibition idea is gaining ground constantly and it is propheted by many well
informed men that the Republican and Democratic parties in their next national
platform utterances will declare for prohibition. What we think, more likely, is
that William Jennings BRYAP will again seek the Presidency as the nominee of a
National Prohibition Party.
Col. W. F. CODY is reported dying at this home near Denver,
Colorado. He is better known to the youth and to most of the citizens of the
country as “Buffalo Bill”. He is about the last of the picturesque figures of
the country famous as a mighty hunter and scout who did some real service for
his country, without ever having gained the reputation of being a gun man, the,
there were perhaps few men in the country more expert than he in the use of
rifle and revolver
“The Leak” at Washington is still agitating Congress. When
men make fortunes on the stock market, on advance information of Presidential
action likely to affect the market, it is time to make a thorough investigation
and ascertain and make public the names of the guilty parties. On another
occasion it will be remembered that fortunes were made on the market by the
giving of such advance information and no one ever brought to account. If a leak
exists it certainly ought to be stopped.
The Children’s Code legislation to come before the
Legislature at this session is very important and should be adopted. The code in
brief provides for the establishment of juvenile courts in the counties; for the
payment of pensions by the counties to poor mothers with little children whose
fathers are dead or in institutions, so that they may raise their own children
at home; for the protection of children born out of wedlock, compelling the
fathers to support them when the fathers can be reached; for the guardianship of
child workers for the revision of laws pertaining to marriage, and for many
other measures of a related nature, all designed to carry out the principle of
child protection and nurture. Some of these details we will discuss later.
The code calls for no appropriations of money by the state,
and the expenditure of money by the counties rests with the counties themselves.
There can be no objection to the code, therefore, on financial grounds. It can
be considered solely on its merits as an advanced and enlightened system of laws
for the welfare of the children of Missouri. There is no party question involved
in it. Whatever may be the differences of opinion as to detail, every member of
the Legislature ought to be for it and work for it.

~ Lone Dell Items ~
Although we were quite silent the past fall we were
nevertheless “up and doing”, in fact, we were all so very busy that it seems as
though nobody found time to send in any news from here. It was with us as the
old saying has it, “still waters run deep”, so then, here we send in a few
ripples to show that at last a sort of winter lull has set in.
The diligence and ambition of our people was distributed over
various fields of activities beginning with the harvesting of fall crops and
followed up by fall plowing and road building. Some note-worthy work was done
along these lines, especially the gravelling of the road leading from the LeMay
Ferry to Mr. Theo. BECK’s store.
The Lone Dell School has also been doing some good work. The
school is now well organized and was placed on the approved list. An
entertainment was given in November which was well attended.
A sad occurrence must also be related from here. The home of
Mr. Alois OTT was visited by that dread disease, diphtheria. Different members
of the family were affected and it proved fatal with their only and well beloved
little daughter, Pauline, aged six. She was well several days before her end
came and was sick only a very short time. She was a
bright and clever little girl, brim full of life, always
singing laughing and gaily hopping she came tripping along. In her we lose a
cheerful companion, a bright scholar, and the parents, a loving and also
beautiful daughter. Our heartfelt sympathies are with the sorrow stricken
parents whose grief might well be imagined.

BONACKER and
Mr. WALLACH of Rankin also made very interesting speeches.
Joe BANTEK also took part. The next debate will be Friday evening, January 19th.
The subject is: “Resolved, That Women Should Vote”. Everybody
invited. We are certain that no one will regret attending as we have some good
debates and will also have a small program. Why don’t other neighborhoods
organize and have debating contests with each other?
Mr. HENRICKS had an accident while coming from St. Louis

hour.
I saw an item in your paper from Buffalo Hill by which the
writer refers to Rock Creek, trying to make fun of people living in this
vicinity. I suppose he was offended by the empty jug, well it is empty and I
hope it will always be, therefore, I will kindly refer the knocks to some saloon
and also to some good school where his understanding may be
improved.

Association now assemble on this 29th day of December, 1916, in conference in

all the various ideas and suggestions offered, we are of the opinion and hereby

practical character of roads to be constructed along the Ozark

~ The Cheerful Cherub ~
I’d never hesitate at risks
I’m eager for a thrill
Life’s always so exciting
When you live it with a will.
~ The Cheerful Cherub ~
My life is made of ups and downs
It’s that that makes it nice
I wouldn’t have an easy life -
The contrast gives it spice!
~ The Cheerful Cherub ~
They told me that fame was a bubble,
They loftily scorned worldly pelf,
And I grant that their words may be true, but
-
I’d like to find out for myself!
~ The Cheerful Cherub ~
I try to imagine my menial work
Is really my idea of fun
And I might as well like it as not for of
course
I know that its got to be done.
~ The Cheerful Cherub ~
I often fret and worry
And long for wealth and such
What makes me think, I wonder
That I deserve so much?
~ The Cheerful Cherub ~
I lost my garter at a dance
Where every one could see
It didn’t bother them, but ok -
The difference to me!
~ The Cheerful Cherub ~
Just keep trying all the time
Till at last your life is done,
You may never reach the top
but the climbing’s lots of fun.
~ The Best Laxative ~
To keep the bowels regular the best laxative is outdoor
exercise. Drink a full glass of water half an hour before breakfast and eat an
abundance of fruit and vegetables, also establish a regular habit and be sure
your bowels move once each day. When a medicine is needed take Chamberlain’s
Tablets. They are pleasant to take and mild and gentle in affect. Obtainable
everywhere.
