Let me review the matter: 1t is
believed that colds are conveyed by
the secretions of the nose and throat.
sncczing, coughing and loud talking
produce a spray Of moisture which
may be blown into the air, for a dis
lance of several feet perhaps. The
tiny drops of moisture carry the in
fecting germs of the disease.
1t is the habit of a good may
persons to cover the nose and mouth
with the hand. This has virtue Of
being at least a halfway measure,
because it saves the 'standers-by from
a spray Of dangerous moisture. But
this practice concentrates in the
hand a quantity of infectious ma
terial.
The moist hand carries the germs
to the door knob, the soap, the
pencil or other object which may

There is no wonder colds multiply
and that from time to time the dis
ease becomes so common as to as
sumo almost epidemic proportions. l
have been watching a group of per-
sons TO see what they do. if any
thing, to protect others from infec-
ton. 1t is only an occasional per-
son who does the slightest thing to
guard his friends from the cold which
is so distressing TO him.
Common as they are, we seem TO
be as helpless in controlling and
treating colds as we were a genera
ton ago. This isn't because we don't
know more about colds. Because as
a matter Of fact, we do know a lot
more than We did even a dozen years
ago. The trouble is we don't apply
our knowledge.

Nothing really is as sad as fun"
that hurts. Yet I know no country
upon earth that has not its PRANK
day, its festival Of fools" whether
it be April LIST or not.
It is good to have a day for the
young, for those who like TO laugh
and tease. for children to play harm
less tricks and the witty ones to
test their talenss. Perhaps It is
not going too far If a few old grudg-
cs are paid off-there'd be some sat
isfaction in that.
But fun that hurts is not fun and
only cruel natures find pleasure in
it. suppose it springs from de-
sire for power. Perhaps we cannot
please peopIe-but we can always
find a way to make them suffer. 1
bate the idea.
Yet in my girlhood I was as keen
as any other at a joke or Il little
wickedness that provoked a laugh. /

boiled to make sure the germs are
destroyed.
Remember that soiled hands and
an atmosphere impregnated with
contaminated moisture are the means
of carrying the material capable of
injecting you and injecting others.
A cold is not so serious an expert
ence to a strong adult as it is to a
tiny baby. But your cold may be
passed on to an infant, or a weak
adult, then there may be serious
trouble. The acute infections of this
sort Gre among the chief causes of
baby deaths. They nave lessened
the efficiency of many a grown per-
son and paved the way for some
thing far more serious.
The best advice / can give you is
to avoid taking cold. DO this by
exercise, fresh air, simple food and
restful sleep.

On the outskirts of San Antonio there lives

The other day the widow became i'll and she could
not milk her COW. Her son. 20 years of age had
learned the art of milking.
San Antonio is friendly city and the neghbors
engaged themselves in the widows behalf. The neigh

there found only person who knew how to sepa
rate the milk from the
This incident led correspondent into very
gloomy dissertation the presentday state of affairs
"What is the country coming to when citizens who
drink milk don't know how to milk" he asks.
"They would have starved to death in pioneer
times he observes
We do not agree with correspondent. If it were
necessary they would have learned how to milk They
would have learned how to spin, and how to make
and made his clothing because he had to, not be
cause he wanted to.
Many find pleasure and profit in keeping cows. But
there is no reason why man who doesn't own a
cow should know how milk than there is in expecting
shipping clerk to learn how to box the compass.
If our correspondent is determined to view life
darby we venture the suggestion he has overlooked the
real subject for most pessimstc thesis on the present
day state of affairs.
He might have asked the question: why doesn't
the widows son know how to milk" and found in the
answer key to the solution of of the most perpex
