Amoy, Feb. 13. Much surprise was caused yes- terday morning when the Great Northern Telegraph Company suddenly erased to function, due, it is said. to differences between the Company and the Chinese Telegraph Authorities.
WINTER COLDS IN
CHILDREN.
"Why does my child catch so many colds?" is a question which many a worried mother asks hor- self during the winter months. She keeps him well wrapped up in woolluns, feeds him well and watches him carefully, Yet cold after cold comes along and she drends each time that it might turn to something worse.
