WHAT YOUR
COLD MEANS
by Chas. A. L. Reed, M. d.

by Chas. A. L. Reed, M. d.
Former President Of the Amerf-
can Medical Association.
DEMEMBER that cold is
~ not a cold but an infection.
The use of the word cold is
misleading because 1t is taken to
mean an illness that comes from
mere exposure to cold in spite Of
the fact that some of our worst
colds come on in warm weather.
To take tcold" you must be
exposed to the particular germs
that cause it and that are car
ried in the air.
You therefore breathe them into
your body where they take effect
most frequently in your nose or
throat with which they first come
into contact. From these 1oca.
lions they often extend down into
your lungs.
Their first effect is to cause q
congestion followed by an inflam-
nation of the lining membrane or
your nose and throat with which
they come in contact.
The moment they become estab-
lished in these localities they go
into the manufacturing business.
Their sole product consists OF
poisons. called toxins, some or
which are discharged with the
secretions but most Of which are
absorbed into your blood.
To destroy them requires an
extraordinary consumption OF
oxygen with which to burn them
in the furnaces Of your system.
The amount of fever is proper
tionate to the amount OF poison
that is being consumed.
What would happen Il you
were absorbing these germ-made
poisons, or toxins, and had no
fever?
They are rank poisons that
tend to paralyze the heart and
thus cause death-the form OF
death that occurs in all cases Of
blood poisoning.
Don't, therefore, growl and
scold when and because you have
fire in any other kind Of = fur
mace, generates heat.
You call it heat when It hap
pens in the stove, but You call
it fever on first taking a. cold. Be
glad Of It., for the higher your
fever at the beginning Of a cold
the greater will be your safety.
You viii understand this better
when explain a little more In

HOvers Like Hawk

With Fokker at the controls the
monoplane climbed steeply in a
gusty wind of thirty-five miles veloc
ity. The Dutch designer deliberate
ly reduced his speed, stalled his en-
CINE, lowered in the wind like
hawk, descended sharply and went
through the antics that are likely to
bring plane crashing to the ground.
The big winged monoplane sailed
on. Fokker repeated his stunts.
Nothing happened. During the dem
onstration Fokker sometimes re-
moved his hands from the controls,
but the plane would not desert the
air for head-on collision with the
earth.
This monoplane is not entirely
crash-proof," Fokker explained. but

climb too fast. 1t is the sane thing

these dangers"

Design Is Secret

When Fokker had brought his ship
to earth, Flight Lieutenant P. S. Bull
man demonstrated a new single
scatter air force biplane designed to
fly as safely as the larger machine
The difference between Fokker's
heavy monoplane and the single
scatter is that the latter is equippc'
with devices to produce stability
while Fokker achieved it with de-
sign.
The single scatter has small auXil-
iary planes between it's main planes
which are manipulated by the pilot
to correct tendencies to stall. Stall
ing-that is, losing flying speed
causes most air accidents. Fokker's
passenger machine possesses a wing
curve that varies from three feet
next to the fuselage to six inches at
the tips.
