TREATING A COLD

Once more the season of frequent
colds has come.
Everybody ought to know how to
avoid colds hut the number who bark
and snuff prove that the simplest pre-
cautions either aren't understood or
else aren't practiced.
Fallacy one about a cold is that it
should be kept heated. Fresh air,
fresh air and still more fresh air is the
best preventive of colds. It's the sharp
contrast between the stuffy air of over
heated rooms, with their billions of fly
ing dust specks and bacteria, and the
cool outdoors that chiefly breed colds.
You may get cold while breathing
fresh air but it won't be the fresh air
that causes il. Did you ever see a
hunter, woodsman or primitive Indian
with cold?
Fallacy two is that you should feed
that Is, gorge a cold. of course, you
must eat. But don't over-eSt. And be
doubly careful that the bodily excre-
tions aren't interrupted. If you must
eat more than usual, put the emphasis
on fruits.
Drinking copiously and frequently of
pure water is a good medicine for a
cold-much better than whisky.
But the best cure is to be SO careful
with exercise, eating and ventilation
that cold won't have anything to do
with you.
Walk more, open the windows more
drink more water and avoid dope.

COUNTRY MOTHERS
CITED WAYS TO HELP
THEIR COMMUNITY
By "OBSERVER. A"

No fair minded man or womap rs GO
ing to censor those good women in
rural districts for the interest they take
in the churches in their respective
communities, but we do sometimes
wonder why an equal interest is not
taken in the rural schools by the
patrons.
1t is not enough TO elect or appoint
board of directors, who in turn employ
teacher and then turn the whole
school system over TO them. We do
not belieYe that any board of directors
wish to assume the entire responsibility
for a schools welfare, and certainly no
individual teacher does.
In the cities and towns women's
clubs are, or at least civics leagues do
much toward improving school life.
Happily, too, these clubs are being
formed among country women, and
there is no reason why the women of
every rural community should not have
their own little club for the moral and
educational welfare of their community
Mrs. Emma Gary Wallace, who con-
ducts the Home and School Club Work
department of the American Mother
hood magazine, is persistently urging
these local organizations among the
mothers Of country school districts.
There may be those readers OF the
(your paper who think Mrs. Wallace's
views too .'mpdern" to be practical in
this community, but they are not. If
the methods of supervision that Were
in vogue twenty or forty years ago are
allowed to rule in this day, then we
should expect no better results than
were obtained twenty or forty years
ago-and the boy or girl of today can
not get very far in the husl mess, or
even social world if he or she leaves
school with the three "R's" that were
everything ip education forty years
ago.
Mrs. Wallace suggests a Rural Mo-
theirs club look after the following it.
ems conpected with the school or
schools in their district:
Every east, south and west window
should have a shade so that bright
light need never shine directly on the
blackboard or in the pupils eyes.
Outhouses should be carefully super
vised, the approaches screened, and
weekly disinfection with chloride of
lime insisted upon.
Sometimes the wells go long time
WITHOUT being cleaned. This should
not be, and individual drinking recep-
tacles should be used
The school should be furnished with
a receptacle for Liquid soap which is
both economical and sanitary. Wash
basin and paper towels also should be
had.
During cold weather. provisions
should pc made that children could
have a warm drink with their meals at
noon Vacuum bottles will solve this
problem if it can be done in no cheap
ef way.
These and many other things could
easily be done for the comfort and
health of school children, and as we
feel sure the rural mothers are just as
resourceful as their city sisters, the
taxpayers need not be alarmed by the
suggestion.
