your column in the paper?
What Is the cause of bronchitis?
Do young children outgrow 1t?
What is the cure for it?

the family physician. He has start

though L tried my best to prevent it.
He has such a rafting, and phlegm

thing else. Fresh air, proper food,

DANGEROUS BANANA PEEL

We hear a lot about bananas these days. We sing
about them and as a nation we eat more of them than ever
before. The increasing popularity of the various delicious,
nutritious and delightful salad combinations accounts in a
large measure for our greater consumption of this fruit.
But have you ever thought of bananas from this angle?
Not, exactly the bananas but the banan peel. A banana peel
can do great harm. At times it is a menace to society.
Where and how you ask? On a sidewalk.
A few careless, thoughtless people will persist in throwing
a banana peel on the sidewalk. More careless, t%houghtless
Indifferent pepole will pass it by and never think of remov-
ing it. Until, perhaps an elderly person comes along and slips
on it with the result a broken limb or hip. Or it may not nee
essarily be an elderly person. The young and spry are just
as apt to break a bone slipping on a slippery banana peel as
anyone.
banana peel. Let's contract with one another that when we
see one on a public thoroughfare we will remove it to one side.
1t is a slight act. 1t takes but a second and but little effort,
but how much suffering it may save.
Such a simple thing as a banana peel affords us an oppor-
tunty to do a good turn. Let us not pass it by.

How To Make
Cheese Tidbits
BY Sister Mary

Many hostesses like to serve the
salad just before the main course of
meat and vegetables rather than
after it.
A vegetable or fish salad is very
acceptable right after the soup, but
a fruit salad seems to give a better
balance to the meal if it follows the
main course.
In any event a salad course prop
erly served includes a wafer or some
thing of the sort with the salad it
self. The accompaniment may be
served on the plate with the salad or
on a large plate, each person help
ing himself.
These little tidbits may be used
with a fruit. vegetable or head let
tuce salad which does not gain it's
piquancy from cheese.

Four tablespoons grated Ameri-
can full cream cheese, . tablespoons
butter, paprika, small square crack

Rub cheese and butter to a smooth
paste. Spread mixture on crackers,
dust with paprika and toast just be-
fore serving.
IL the crackers are ready on the
toaster it's a simple thing to pop
them N the broiler while clearing
the tabl & and taking in the salad.
This insures their hot crispness with
the salad.

BROADCASTS
BY LORA KELLY

The Puff Was Sm.-cd
"A beauty shop is not essential
to college education"
Thus a Western State Board of
Administration orders and deposes,
then closes up the claypack empo-
rum on the campus.
Feminine froshies who want a
shampoo will have to accomplish 1t
with their own fair hands hereafter,
or go out of bounds to the nearest
city.
Natural pulchritudc, of which
there is no lack at the college, is
much to be preferred, so why any
need for the artifcial?" asks the
board.
At the same time a barber shop
and a canteen, patroniZed almost ex-
clusively by the male students, were
permitted to continue in business.
In another college, and not SO far
west, girls were forbidden to bring
their cars on the campus, while the
men students went on their way re-
ioicing in 1ivvers, dads six-cylinder,
or the faithful old family sedan,
borrowed temporarily for the rush
ing season of the f~raternities.
On the surface this appears to be
an unfair discrimination.
If we are going to have c%o-educa-
ton, why balk at the most impor-
tant subject of womankind, accord
ing to innumerable male authorities
that of personal attractiveness?
What good is a college education
anyway if it doesn't add to your So
cial graces?
We've known a fairly large num-
Der of grand old seniors who could
stick their noses with equal ease
into a powder puff or Mr.. Keno
phon's Anabasis, and come off un-
scathed.
The uplift furnished by beauty
shops is an adjunct to higher educa-
ton.
Let 'em flourish, Doc!
