Council Bluffs, Nov. 29-Most of
Council Bluffs went to work or school

househoIders was the excuse. Stoves
would pop most alarmingly, but little
gas could be secured. Officers and
employees of the gas company were
nearly compelled to call for help as
angry housewives beseiged them in
person and by telephone.

ties of money foist upon you in place of Lewis.
Do the workingnen and farmers OF this com

Victor made a few inquiries. His

at her husband. She scoIded at the
children as they ran under the

disillusiOned, cured OF book ro-
nance and memory romance, Victor
returned TO the automobile and ut
tered a great sigh Of relief as his
partner appeared.
There was a new mood upon him
as he entered the CHEEKY, hospitable

The Catching Cold DeIusion and /
the Fin

The Catching Cold DeIusion and
the Flu.
The catching cold delusion, still
harbored by some good doctors and
even a few health authorities, is
the delusion that you are likely to
get sick if you get your feet wet,
and so forth.
When the influenza came to our
town we kept the children out OF
school for a time. Our school au-
thorities have the catching cold de-
fusion and attempt to separate
mere colds" from infectious res
piratory iseases-that is why we
kept the children out Of school.
The children went out one after
noon with another doctors chill
dren and got their feet wet. The
other doctors wife worried about it
when they got back, and insisted
that the children Immediately take
off their shoes and stockings, battle
their feet in hot water, and dry
their footwear, for, she argued,
what was the use of staying out or
school if children were going to
take their death o. cold like that?
The poor children dared not refuse
the good samartian's kindly help
but maybe they were not mad when
then got home!

layers of finest grade of gaUze
