that you seldom have a cold with
out constipation, due to general
congestion. The only way to
avoid colds is to keep up your
vitality. You usually catch cold
in the winter if you are run
down. Therefore in cold weather
exercise more; eat more fatty
foods; drink four to six glasses of
water day; keep the head cool,
the feet warm, the bowels open.
You are also less liable to colds
if your system is free from the
intestinal poisons Of constipation,
SO empty the bowels regularly
with a plain vegetable laxative
like Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

"The cost of selling oranges and
lemons through the California Fruit
Growers Exchange is lower TODAY
than it was ten years ago.
'1n the twelve years since the first
campaign was launched the consump-
ton of Californian oranges has
doubled. The American consumer has
been taught by cooperative advertis.
ing to eat nearly twice as MANY
oranges as before.
Had the orange industry remained
on the old basis, there would have been
no profit in growing oranges. New
acreage would not have been planted.
Old orchards would most surely have
been uprooted and other crops plant.

Advertising, properly done, saves
money for the consumer and makes
money for the producer by driving out
wasteful methods, increasing volume
and cutting down the costs of selling
and distribution.

big part ofthe cost of living today may be charged

For example, every year tons of
fruits and vegetables rot on the
ground, because it doesn't pay to pick
them. Discouraged growers plant
less the next season, and the supply
of food is reduced. Meanwhile. con.
sumers in the cities near by grumble
over high prices. Demand and sup.
ply are not brought together.
Contrast this with the handling Of
oranges. s1,OO0,OOO year is spent
for advertising by the cooperative as.
ISOLATION of the California Fruit Grow
ers. A large sum; yet it is only about
one-fifth Of cent per dozen-one.
sixtieth of cent for each orange
sold.
And this advertising has kept down
the cost of oranges. To quote an of.
