YOUR AIR INTAKE

Rhinitis is an Inflammation aHect'
ing the mucous membrane OF the nose
It occurs in both acute and chrome
forms, The acute catarrhal form oil
this Inflammation is termed 'coryza. y
IT is probably the most prevalent and
common of all human ills. You have
had it, you may have it now, but
whether or no-you will have It,
Acute coryza is nothing more than
cold in the head.
The symptoms are due to the pres
ence of development Of several dis
tinct micro organisms - which is no
cause for alarm. In ordinary cases,
sneezing, nasal congestion and dis
charge from the nostris always &C.
cur.
No Cause For Worry
The Inflammation may extend to
the throat and cause additional trou-
BILE. An attack of coryZa sometim cs
results in partial or temporary deaf
ness due to the blocking of the eusta-
chan tube. This tube merely func-
tons to equalize air pressure on the
inner ear. 1t is nothing to worry
about.
The treatment consists of large and
frequent doses of good fresh air. A
second step in the treatment is an
other double dose of the same thing.
This medicine is free and will never
do you any harm.
Rout Germ Army
Drink plenty water. Keep the bow
els open and take brisk walk. As
pirin taken upon going to bed cou-
pied with the drinking of some hot
liquid will make you perspire. This
will throw the ranks of germs into dis
order and usually in full retreat.
We may now take into considera-
ton some of the preventive measures
for avoiding coryza. Don't bundle up
like an Eskimo, but wear just enough
to keep you warm.a Should
you get your feet wet change shoes
and stockings as soon as possible.
Colds are easily transmitted, some
times affecting a whole family at once.
Keep away from people who have
cold. People who sneeze and cough
should be avoided.
Exercise Necessary
Above all remember this: Your re-
sistance tells the tale. People who
are particularly susceptible to this
common annoyance should habituate
themselves to exercise, deep breath
ing and fresh air. Adenoids or en-
arged tonsils should be removed. The
iiet may be modified so as not to con-
ain an excess OF starchy foods.
Keep the body clean and accustom
yourself to sleeping with the window
open. winter and summer. Make
,ew rules for yourself along these
ines and take pains to carry them
,ut.
The improvement in your general
condition will be surprising,
BY this you will stave off any future
ittack or at least reduce its duration
md severity.

Perhaps there is no fruit more salts
factory for canning than peaches.
They retain their favor and shape and
keep so well that the canned peach is
almost as acceptable as the fresh one.
For canning, clingstone peaches,
not too ripe, are preferable; but for
peach pickles, never. This thing of
trying to eat clingstone picked
peach is far from pleasure. Clings
have q finer, richer favor and a
firmer, finer grained flesh than frees,
but unless firm to the touch they are
too much of a pest to bother with.
They must be canned by the open
kettle method.
To prepare peaches, for canning
cut around the peach on the seam.
Twist the halves apart and cut the
stone from the half to which it
clings. Pare and can, allowing cup
sugar to a quart can for peaches
canned for pies or buildings. and .
cups for peaches canned for table
use.
Cold Pack Peaches
Use freestone peaches. Wash and
dip in boiling water for two minutes.
Dip in cold water and slip skins. Cut
in halves and remove stones. Pack
in sterilized jars to within IA inch Of
the top. Fill with strip and half
SEAL Put In hot water bath. The
water must cover jars by at least two
inches.
Process for twenty minutes count
ing the time when the boiling begins.
Remove from boiler, finish sealing
and cool quickly. Peaches are usual
ly canned In medium strip. To make
medium strip; cups sugar, cups
water. Boil four minutes.
Picked Peaches
Four pounds peaches. ? cups cider
8 cups sugar. 1 teaspoon
ground cloves, 2 teaspoons ground
cinnamon, l teaspoon ground ALL
spice.
Tie spices in a small muslin bag.
Wash peaches and wash off fuzz. |

Boys clothes have to be right or
they are a failure, There are no in
between measures.
There's no one who feels this fail

frequent and handy, the belt must be
