John Slaughter of Pear Valley
was in the first of the week and
set his Brady Standard date up for
another twelve months. Mr.
Slaughter, who is in the oil busi-
ness, says his business has been
pretty good lately and about the
only thing folks had to complain
about, out Pear Valley way, was
the dry weatner.
J. E. Carlson, our good Swedish
friend who lives out on the Ro-
chelle road about three miles, was
in yesterday and had his Star-
Telegram and Brady Standard all
fixed up for another year. Mr.
Carleon says he has just about
quit working and turned all the
hard work over to his boys. Mr.
Carlson is usually seen smoking
a pipe with a lid on it 'round town.
However on his visit to Brady yes-
terday, he had the pipa in his
pocket.
er. Add a sweater to your outfit,
or a heavy coat when frosty days
come. Avoid sudden chilling. Don’t'
expose yourself unnecessarily to
draughts. Don’t sit around in wet
clothing. If you are caught in a
drenching downpour, change to dry
clothing as soon as possible.
3. Take some outdoor exercise
every day. Be out in the sunlight as
much as possible. If you have a job
that keeps you indoors most of the
day, you will find it pays to spend
a few minutes two or three times a
day, at an open window, flushing
your breathing apparatus with
fresh air.
4. Get plenty of sleep. Strike *
balance between work and play,
don’t fool yourself into thinking
you can play around at all hours of
the day or night, day after day;
snatch a few hours sleep, and be
entirely fit, physically, and ready
for your profession, your job, or
for school, or household duties,
when morning comes.
5. Colds are spread by the dis-
charges from the nose and throat.
Every time the victim of a cold has
a coughing spell, germ-laden drop-
lets of mucus are brought to the
surface and spread around. Every
sneeze throws germ-laden spray in-
to the air. Avoid these hazards.
Don't mingle unnecessarily with
persons who have colds.
6. The careless cougher or sneez-
er sprays his germs all around the
place and leaves them on every-
thing he touches. Don’t use a com-
mon drinking cup. Have your own
He's Arbitrary
A farmer took his wife to a con-
cert, and after listening with ap-
parent joy the pair suddenly be-
came interested in one of the
choruses: "All we, like sheep, have
gone astray.”
First a sharp soprano voice ex-
claimed: “All we, like sheep;” next
a deep voice uttered in a most
earnest tone: “All we, like sheep.”
Then all the singers at once assert-
ed: “All we, like sheep.”
“Well, I don't!” exclaimed the
farmer to his wife. “I like beef and
bacon.”
