HOW TocURE GRIP

Read the United States Health Ser.
vice Instructions about how to keep
yourself well, and live up to them. Gel
plenty of outdoor exercise every day
and. always sleep with your windows
well opened.
/. At the first sign of cold take a
good dose or two of a good cathartic,
epson salts, for instance.
2. And at the same time begin to
gargle your throat frequently. Two
teaspoonfuls of peroxide of hydrogen
or dioxygen to two or three teaspoon
fuls of wat lr will do this gargle. Re-
serve about one teaspoonful mixture,
add another teaspoonful of water and
snuff it up the nose. 3. Also cut your
food supply in two and let your diet be
as near liquid one as possible, with no
candies or desserts, and drink glass
of hot water OF cold if you prefer it
every hour! Do it night and day all the
time that you are awake.
The secret of success in this treat
ment is to begin with the first symptom
of cold or i'll feeling and pur sue the
treatment thoroughly for two or three
days. The same success can be achieved
if you will cut solid food entirely for
two days, making your meals of hot
liquids only, following out the other in
structions in regard to gargles and hot
drinks. Last but not least, with all
and in all, and over all, be sure that
you get nothing but fresh air to breathe,
night and day. You cannot keep your
self warm without breathing Of fresh
air

 The relief experienced by the Re publican "Old Guard" leaders when they learned this news today was offset by the apprehension they feel that the Colonel will not support the candidacy of Associate Justice Hughes
 This apprehension is based upon the statement the former President made to the Republican committee which called on him recently to tender it's support, that any man at this time of crisis "who Is not progressively. openly and specifically for" the principles of Americanism and preparedness. 1s against them and every patriotic man should treat our public servants on this basis.
