An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast and deep and wide;
The old man crossed in the twilight
dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for
him;
But he turned when safe on the other
side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a'feHow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting your strength with
building here.
Your journey; jwill epd with the end
ing day.
You never again will pass this way;
You’ve crossed the chasm deep and

“There followeth after me today,

This chasm that has been as naught

‘MODEL HOME’
FOR CLINTON
Ladies of Community To Compete For
$200 in Prizes in Suggestions For
Best Features of a Model Home.
Announcement has just been made
of the beginning of the erection of a
“model home^’ for Clinton. Many
cities have successfully planned a
model home, with, a view to develop'
ing interest in home building and
modern home construction, but this is
Clinton’s first effort. The prime idea
of the model home, which will be
erected on the corner of Walnut and
Hickory avenues, in College View de
velopment, will be to stimulate inter
est in home building. Using the mo
del home as the main feature of a
program for 1925 embodying an
“Own Your Own Home Campaign.”
Clinton is behind in home construct
ion. The building of homes has not
kept pace with its institutional and
highway growth. There has been for
some time a shortage of homes in the
city. Among the younger men in the
city practically no building compara
tively has been done within the past
-eight or ten years. From the stand
point of the growth of the town such
a campaign is very desirable.
^Vith conditions not the best in the
agricultural section surrounding Clin
ton, the local merchants will be solely
dependent upon manufacturing inter
ests in the city this year, unless a
home building campaign can stimulate
an extra large circulation of money
in the city in the building of homes.
The construction of twenty new
homes during the year 1925 in Clin
ton would greatly increase the popu
lation, rectify the housing difficulties
in Cliqton, and would at the same time"
turn -loose probably a hundred thous
and dollars or mqre, a greater por-
KEEPING WELL
“COMMON COLDS” ARE
TOO COMMON
OR. FREDERICK R. GHEE*
Editor of “HEALTH"
“C o:
lor
tion of which would ip turn be spent
with Clinton merchants. All of the
building and loan associations and
banks in the city are planning to get
behind the home building campaign
and urge the young men in the city
to build their own homes, and it is
likely that the endorsement of the
Commercial club and Civic associa
tion will likewise be requested.
The model home which is now be
ing built, embodies a number of pecu
liar features. The merchants of the
city will outfit it from beginning to
end. When it is finished it will be
completely»furnished and ready for
occupancy. A week’s reception will
then be held in which all of the people
will be invited. Modern and except
ional features used in the construct
ion of this house will make it indeed
a model home.- It will attract atten
tion far and wide. Such a home in
Greenville attracted over 14,000 visit
ors. Such a home in Clinton should
attract several thousand visitors. ^ It
will be built not with a view to per
sonal profit to .any one, but entirely
in an effort to stimulate interest in
the building of modern homes. With
the unique plan for the model'home
goes an opportunity for the ladies in
Clinton to express themselves as to
how a model home should be built.
Each lady will be allowed an oppor r
tunity to present her suggestion as to
some particular feature, arrange
ment, or some special detail, utility
or accessory in connection with the
house, that would in her mind be more
desirable, practical and useful. AH
of the suggestions offered by the
ladies will be considered by a group
of judges, the presenters of the best
14 suggestions will receive prizes, $50
for the first priz6, $25 for the sec
ond prize, $15 for the third prize, $10
for each of the other prizes, $200 all
told being given in cash to the ladies
as prizes.
Many of the suggestions will be
used in the model home. Others may
not be. All of the suggestions will be
printed in a “model home baok,”
which will be given away during the
reception, after the house is complet
ed, and in the same book will appear
a directory helpful in the purchase of
building materials for the orospective
home builders, and also other valuable
data and suggestions concerning home
building Nrith ads of the local mer
chants who will have matetial or
equipment to offer for a new home.
Thus, the, model home will serve not
only as an education to the people,
but will likewise serve as a display
room for merchants and building
material and supply manufacturers.
The home itself will be a seven-
room bungalow, one story, of the fin
est type of construction, tapestry
brick and tile walls, fire proof roof,
maple floors, etc. The interest of the
ladies in this city is particularly re
quested, and the entire public is urged
to follow the progress of the con
struction of the home. It will be
open to the public at all times except
during the furnishing period.
Further announcements concerning
the model home will be made later.
A full page advertisement'in this-is
sue gives the details and conditions
of the suggestion contest. It promises
to be hn interesting battle of wits
among the ladies.
The Chronicle offers its heartiest
co-operation in connection with the
“Own Your Own Home Campaign”
and intedns to do its share in stimu
lating home building in the commun
ity.
Today’s puzzle is a uniform design.
To start with, there are eight words
of six letters each. They get shorter
from then on—but there is an equal
number of the same letter through
out. No^word is difficult—but you’ve
got to keep plugging to solve it. An
swer next week. Also another dandy
puzzle.

UMON colds” ' are the most
common illnesses In the United
States, says Dr. Hugh Cummings, sur
geon general of the United States Pub
lic Health service. During the last
year this service has been making an
investigation of colds. It Qnds 'that,
out of every one hundred persons, only
ten have no colds during the year,
that ninety will have one or two each
winter or an average of nearly four
every year.
Now there are approximately one
hundred and ten million people in this
country. Of these, eleven million will
he free from colds, while the ninety
nine million who have four colds a
year will have among them, three hun
dred und ninety-six million colds every
twelve raontha
No wonder Doctor Cummings says
colds are the commonest disease we
have.
These dolds are not only unpleasant,
they are also expensive. How much Is
lost in time and Wages because of
them? How much is paid out for “ca
tarrh cures,” cough drop#, oils, syrups,
poultices and mustard foot baths? No
body has any idea, but you can be
sure that our national cold bill is many
times larger than our annual coal bill
we hear so much about.
These colds are Just the same In dif
ferent parts of the country. They oc
cur about the same time of the year
in- every locality. The public health
service has found that the first out
break occurs in October. That’s tfhen
the first raw, chilly days are apt to
appear. We evidently get accustora<Kl
to this or protect ourselves better, for
after the first outbreak, the number
of colds decreases, until the latter part
of December when another outbreak
occur*.
Then the weather settles down and
w* adapt ourselves to it again and the
number of colds drops off until Janu
ary. During the late winter and early
spring, colds are -generaL Elderly or
delicate persona, who may have their
third or fourth attack, when they are
weakened and their resistance is re
duced, are then especially liable to
develop something worse, bronchitis or
Influenza or the dreaded pneumonia.
So that colds, while not generally dan
gerous to life themselves, are very
apt to prove the starting point-'for
other and more serious diseases.
No one likes to have a cold. We’d
all be glad to be rid of them. The
Investigation now being made by the
public health service la the first na
tion-wide study of colds ever under
taken. Anything which can be done
to reduce this disagreeable pest will
fcn a real service to the public.
