A COMMON HERITAGE It additional proof were needed of the fact that so far the common cold has eluded all the efforts of science to eradicate it from humanity, news comes from an eminent American doctor that the United States' winter sneezing bill amounts to one hundred million dollars. Ours cannot be very much less, if any, in proportion to our population. Dr. Lloyd Arnold, of the Univers- ity of Illinois, who makes this esti- mate, says that amount is spent or treatment for colds between now and spring, and adds other effects of the common cold as follows: Eighty thousand more deaths between Oe.. tober and April, the majority assoc- iated with common colds and their complications; two million wage- earners in industry, stores and " fices sick for at least eight days, due to common colds and the sinus infections, sore throat, influenza, and pneumonia that follow or begin as colds; and children losing time at school. If this does not make people stop and think--and sneeze-then the pub- lie is impervious to warning. We have cold troubles of our own here, and this year they seem to be un- necessarily numerous.

A PLEA FOR THE HORSES With the coming of the first snow of the Winter, it is not inopportune to call the attention of all firms who use horses for transportation purposes to the necessity of seeing that their animals are all properly shod for Winter weather. livery year witnesses its toll of sad aecidents to horses, due to the fact that they have not been fittingiy equipped to meet the slippery conditions of the streets. Especially on our hilly thor- oughfares does the necessity for Winter shoeing make itself doubly manifest.

NEW YORK - New York has . safety council whose aim is to reduce accidents in the streets, in the homes and in industry by 50 to 80 per cent. It was organized at a meeting of city officials and men and women leaders called together by Arthur Willams, president of the American Museum of Safety. Mr. Williams said that accidents here last year took a toll of 3,256 lives and resulted in a financial loss of about $100,000,000. Indicating that the home may be as great a hats ard as the street. Mr. Williams cited a. total of 1,071 fatalities resulting in home accidents, as compared with 1,098 on the streets. Accidents in industry brought 616 fatalities and in recreation and sports the total came to 471. "During the last 25 years." Mr. Williams continued, "organized ef- fort in industry has reduced all acer. dents 54 per cent. During the same period railroad fatalities have been reduced 60 per cent. and injuries 80 per cent." & S.
