Feb. 4.—For the man brought up to look upon a draught from an open window as providing the chief item in a doctor's practice, it is something of a shock to learn, on \he authority of a medical man, that draughts are necessary and benefici al to the human being. Such is the opinion of Dr. Ronald Campbell Macifie, as set out in the pages of the ‘ British Medical Journal.’' There can be no doubt he says, that up to quite recently most physicians held draughts in abhorrence, but late ly the les-sons learned from the work of open-air senatoria have made many converts to the oi)en w'indow. In spite of this, the fear of draughts is prevalent in all classes, and 99 per cent of the colds and the flesh is heir to are attributed to their evil in fluence. Dr. Macifle’s -definition of a draught is a formidable one. It is, he writes,” a concentrated current of sensibly cold air impining upon a localised por tion of the skin.” This current of air, it is pointed out, will cool the blood and lower its resisting power, thus allowing the bacteria responsible for the cold to do their work the more readily, but the cold is not due as a rule to the draught directly. Un less these bacteria are present in the system, the draught may blow its hardest and produce no cold. Draughts there must be. draughts there should be,” says Dr. Macifie, and it is much easier to accustom our systems the them than to dodge them. The average endeavor to escape their influences, the closing of windows ai.d doors, etc., only favors the grow'th of the bacteria, thus rendering dang erous a draught that otherwise might be quite harmless. It is in ])laces that abound in germs, in staffy, dusty rooms, and in church es, that draughts are most fatal. In sanatoria, where open doors and win dows are part of the treatment, but where bacteria are rare, colds seldom occur. The man who endeavors to avoid colds by avoiding all draughts, con cludes Dr. Macitle, not oly catches irore than his share of colds, but pos- ser«cs less than his share of health and vigor. Bryan in Lead. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 4.—All pri mary returns received up to today give A. P. Bryan (progressive demo crat) of Ja^sonville, a lead of 735 votes over W. A. Blount, of Pensa cola, in the senatorial race. Precincts yet to hear from are in conceded Bryan territory. •n 'ng And Queen Will Ope mglish Parliament Monday Amid Usual Pomp andSpkndoi Magic Recovery of Stone Mason Berlin. I’eb. 4.—A young Bavarian mason has liad a magic recovery from a knife wound. Some time ago he vv'as stabbed to the heart in a brawi, and the nature of his wound was so serious that he w'as not expected to survive. After simple bandaging the wound the young man, prior to seek ing attendance at the hospital, went about lor sixteen hours-. At first the doctors were inclined to think that the heart v.-as not pierced, but an op eration ]'roved that a wound two ceti meires in length had been inflcted up on That vital organ. The blood gushed out profusely, and the most stringent stii)Tics had to be employed, while the l)ericardium and diaphragm w'ere both Istiiched. In a few days time the nor- 1 inal imlsaiion of the heart was resnm- t ed and the fever abated. Within a i rtionih from the date of the affray the I j)atient w as relea&ed, completely cur ed.

The diplomatic repre sentatives of the various countries will also be present in their multi colored uniforms with gold and lace-. Politically, the opening of rue pres ent parliament is a iiiost important e\ent. It practically marks a r.pv/ era in British politics, as the house of lords will be compelled to pass the famous veto bill, which will greatlj curtail their power. This veto message was the direcv result of the lords’ failure to pass Lloyd George’s famous bulget in 1939, which resulted in the dissolu tion of parliament in .lanuary, 1010. 'Fhe liberal party was again returned to power, and the lords were compell ed to swallow the budget. In order to prevent any such crisis in the fu ture a measure was drawn up by the government leaders depriving the lords of any voice in financial meas ures, but it was shown at the time that the peers would not accept the measure. The death o1 King Edwai(i last spring put an end to the differ ences betwoen the two botiies lor the time being, and King (leorge then made an attempt to adjust the mai’er by a ''onferenee of the leaders on both sides. This lasted all sum mer long and through the fall, and when parliament rc-assenibU'd last November, it was announced that no agreement had been reached. The house of eommons i'iroceeded immediately lo pass Premier As quith's veto resolution, but this was ignored by the house of lords. A measure drafted by Lord Lansdowne, which provided for a (liange in the upper chamber, but no curtailment of power, was passed by this body. This resulted in the dissolution of parlia ment on November 28. and nlunged the country into the turmoil of an- onther election. When the results were ascertained, it was found that the liberal party had again been re turned to power, having with the aid of the nationalist and labor par ties, a majority of 126 over tho un ionists. Should the house of lords continue to refuse to accept the veto resolu tion, King George will be forced to create a sufficienr number of lil)eral peers to carry the measure through. The king naturally dislikes to tal;e any such action, and he hopes that the knowledge that he will be com pelled to swamp the hereditary cham ber by new creations, if the peers re fuse to submit, will be sufficient to secure their submission. lAWKES’ r GLASS I lic' Original ! iit' .^Iost Exclusive ^lul the Best. ■b'ock & Elam The Dog Mania of Society Ladies London, Feb. 4.—A scene witnessed at the Horticultural Hall, Westminster where a special Pekingese Show was organized the other day by l.ady F]bury, and other kell-Rnown ladies, leaves no shadow of doubt that soci ety ladies are still obsessed with the dog mania. It is scandalous to think that the practice of housing the ani mals in such luxuriou.s style iS’ allow’- ed to exist. The cages were embel lished 1th silk or satin curtains in various tents, and the dogs themselves were encenced n the daintest cus-hions. Even the hardest hearted sinner would have been inclined to shed a tear at the sight of the fair owners who, seated in front of the cages, either fed their pets with tit-bits, or brushed and combed them prior to the judging. The question which arises from this I state of affairs is “Is Fido going to usurp the places of the chifd in the home of such women?” or “Is pov erty to remain rampant among the slums while poodles and bull dogs are wheeled about in prams and cud dled and kissed by w’omen whose montherly instinct has died out?” The show' which was- got up for the bene fit of Our Dumb Friends’ League was attended by many fashionable people. There were a large number of entries, and the selling prices rangd from twenty to a thousand dollars. Commercial Congress Meeting. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 4.—Clarence J- Owens, commissioner of agriculture and immigration for the Southern Com mercial Congress, which will hold its next annual s-essions at Atlanta March S to 10, arrived here today after com- ideting the organization of sixteen Southern states. Mr. Owens was enthusiastic over the reception accorded him everywhere in the South and the interest display ed in the coming convention. He was given assurance that the governors of all the states would appoint large del egations of representative business men to attend the convention. Com mercial organizations in all the cities of the South also will send represen tatives. The convention, he stated, is expect ed to do more to exploit the advant ages of the South than anything heretofore attempted. Man is a Failure When he has no confidence in him self nor his fellow men. When he values success more than character and self-respect. When he does not try to make his work a little better each day. When he becomes so absorbed in liis work that he cannot say that life is greater than work. When he lets a day go by without making some one happier and more comfortable. When he tries to rule others by bul lying instead of by example. When he values w’ealth above health, sell-respect, and the good opin ion of others. When he is so burdened by his bus iness that he finds no time for rest and recreation. When he loves his ow'n plans and in terests more than humanity. When his friends like him for what he has more than for what he is. When he knows that he is in tlie wrong, but is afraid to admit it. When he envies others because they have more ability, talent, or wealth than he has. When he does not care what hap pens to his neighbor or to his friend so long as he is prosperous. When he is so busy doing that he has no time for smiles and cheering words. True as preaching.
