All people are too prono to' wnslder a "cold" as an unavoidable illness which all of us must rafter periodically, usually fol- pwing bodily exposure or a sud- i change ot temperature. Chiropractors know, however, a "cold" is Nature's safety- a warning of a con- jdllloa of bodily disorder which, '1 neglected may' be followed by nore serious illness. The simple fact is that a ivho la In perfect physical cannot "take cold." It is only when nerve-pressuro the kidneys or liver region of like spine causes deficient eliml- Juatlon by these organs and a gen- below par condition ot re- to outside we are subject to colds.

O. boys drew themselves together and pulled out of a tight hole. Parker and put over a neat little double that sure helped at stage ot tho game. "Forty" made a wonderful catch In the third. The sixth Inn- Ing -was tho next ot mention when Shorty Henry went far Into the'crowd and made a wonderful catch of what looked to be an Impossible foul.

Bennit was relieved at this stage of the gams and Vaughn took the slab, and sure looked good to the fans. He has curves, speed, control and everything, and then to' make it goofl, he stepped up and got a real hit, but stretched It. The S. O. boys do not feel dls- couragid at their defeat by the Roberts Coke, 1 because they have team work and the same organization have been playing together for several seasons.

They have" a good battery and a wonderful Infield. They held In reserve Jack Holll- day, In case of emergency but Jack didn't get a chance to perform. He was very prominent along the coachluR lines. One of the humorous incidents was pulled by Prof. O.

Grand Canyon Supplied With Water by Train "Water, wntcr, everywhere, nor any drop This famous expression of Coleridge describes quite accurately the situation at Grand Canyon, where nn abundance of clenr wntcr may be setn rushing down tho Colorado river In the depths of the canyon, but beyond reach of visitors nud residents of the village itself. All the water used nt the canyon Is hauled in by the Snntfi Fe, and is obtained from Jack Smith and Flagstaff springs, which are about nineteen miles north of Flagstaff, u-lz.

This cold spring water has Its origin In the snows nt the top of the SOn Fronclsco peaks, nnd Is absolutely froe from contamination. It Is carried from the springs to reservoir about seven mllus north of Flagstaff, whence it is conveyed by pipe lines to the station. Steel tnnk cars of capacity each are used In transporting the water from Flagstaff to tho cnnyon, the ordinary nci requiring ten carloads of water unlly. This menus that the Snnta Fe hauls approximately 100.000 gallons of. fresh spring water from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon, a distance of 00 mJles, each day.

Nothing succeeds like success, and nothing denotes success better than well selected, good quality clothes. The first impression we get of a man comes through eye, and clothes cover nine-tenths of him.

To illustrate what successful man think of the influence of clothes, J. P. Morgan the first said many years ago; If I had only ten dollars left in the I would buy a silk hat with it. Football coaches are of the opinion that teams in new uniforms will play better and fight harder. Soldiers are made to keep the uniform spick and span; th army has appreciated the psychology ot clothes since time immemorial.

The young man whose business brings him into contact with many people each day will move more quickly towards success if attired in the right kind of clothes. The mechanic, the farmer, the man whose daily vocation doesn't require dressy clothes, will find his spirits lifted and moral improved by slipping into good clothes when the days work is done.
