Chicago, Jan. 3.—The luxuries of modern living with which civilized man has surrounded himself largely are to blame for the “common cold,” which causes more illness annually than any other inhlady. Dr. Isaac A. Abt, said tonight in a report of his * investigatiop of colds made for the Gorgas memorial institute. Vaccines -for the treatment of cold* were termed “of very doubtful value to say the least,” and “not based on accurate scientific knowledge.” In his rejiort. Dr. Abt said : “The luxuries with* which civilized man has surrounded himself are not unmixed -blessings, and it is safe to say that these artificial protections have diminisihed the resistance of human -beings against colds.” New' Woman Legislator Sees Sc* as Good Family leaders. Ucinn, Ky., Jan. 2.—(/P)—hi many cases women are better qualified to be of the family than the men, is the attitude of Mrs. 11. G. Jorris. Kentucky’s only legislator-elect. When the General Assembly con venes January 5, she will be the sec ond woman ever to sit in Kentucky's law making body of 1&8 members. She will represent two counties in the house. Asked what a woman's idea of prop er legislation was. she reported her stand as “very masculine.” She saw no reason why a woman's idea should not be identical with those of men. “The time is now here aud has been for some yeafs, when women are plac ed upon an equal footing with men when ,it comes to the question of mak ing a support for themselves or fami lies. “In fact, in many cases the women are better qualified to be the head-of the family than the men. There is only a very small sentiment of (he old Kentucky chivalry in the minds of the people today and this condition prevails throughput the entire coun try.” Airs. Jorris, woman farmer, sup ported eight biothers and sisters when her parents died while she was young. Since Mr. .Jorris’ death in 1020, she lias stayed on* the farm here in Russel county with her three young brothers. She believes legal restrictions should he removed to place women “absolutely upon a par with men in every respect as to their personal lib erties aud property rights.” She will fight for legislation as to woman’s ownership of real estate and the right to disdose of it at will. Airs. Jorris is not unduly militqnt for her sex. for she says: “I would think that any other leg islation that would be for any special reason best for women would he class legislation and would really be uncon stitutional as I have always thought some of the present laws are.” She is 53. farmer, Presbyterian,, Re publican, and W. C. T. U. member. The Deferred Payment Plan. Monroe Enquirer. In a certain city, about twenty five miles northwest of Monroe, one may purchase, according to advertise ments in the newspapers, almost any thing on the deferred payment plan* Not plain, old credit with mortgage attached —Oh, no—but just sign ou the dotted line to pay so much every week, which in reality is a lien on the goods purchased. Automobiles, pi anos. furniture, cook stoves suits, ov ercoats, B. V. IX’s, and almost any thing may be had on the deferred payment plan, or pay as you wear. I heard a story the other day, which may or may not be true, that may prove an eye-opener to some of those merchants who sell on the ex tortion plan. It was to tin* effect that a certain man of our neighboring city went out to see just how much he could purchase' with only a few dollars as first down payment. Af ter contracting for SIO,OOO worth <>f stuff he got tired and quit. The man’s salary is only SSO a week, and . * in one day’s time he liad bargained with various merchants for stuff he couldn't possibly have ever paid for, if he paid cash for his groceries er. paid his board bill.
