KEEPING OUR COLDS CON-
FINED TO OURSELVES
Misunderstanding Frowned Down
Upon by Health Department

The Chinese style of handshaking
is recommended by the Health Gnome
who is unoficially connected with the
State Department of Health, as one
way of preventing the spread Of the
common cold from friend to friend.
On his return from a long journey,
out to China and back, the Health
Gnome was sorry to find most of his
friends suffering from the usual mid
winter sore throat or cold, sneezing,
snuffling and coughing. Perched on
his favorite corner of the Directors
desk, he said that on his travels he
had heard about some people at the
University of British Columbia who
have been studying these things I'M
der the microscope and who have
found out that children and grown
ups conduct regular germ exchange
when they shake hands.
81 WISH" he continued, "that could
show you picture Of the way my lit
tie Chinese friend, Poliang, shakes
hands with himself in the most cor
rect Chinese fashion, and that | could
introduce the custom in this country.
I am sure it would help to prevent
some of the colds that are so preva-
lent at this time of the year"
To show how it is done, the Health
Gnome stood up on the desk, clasped
his own little hands in a warm grip
and made polite little bow "That is
all there is to it." he said as he sat
down, "but if we could start the fash
ion, I feel certain that we would hear
of fewer colds. And we could not
have better time to start it than
just at this season, when handshak-
ing is 50 general, when everybody is
saying How do you do and wish
you Happy New Year.
He wrinkled his brows and was lost
in thought for minute or two, then
he said: "Of course it takes long
time to change an old custom, so we'd
better send out a reminder of some
other ways of keeping our colds to
ourselves. One Of them is to cut out
all kissing-you ought never kiss
anybody on the mouth, at any rate,
and it is regular crime to kiss a
baby on the mouth at any time. Then
you can never go amiss when you
remember that If you have to cough
or sneeze, you must do it behind your
handkerchief, please" With a
flourish of his little green cap and
"a Healthy New Year to everybody"
he was gone again.

sitting. 1t will be well for the Re-
publicans, however, to have a care
that they, do not ~rejoince unduly or
become careless in the handling OF
their W great organization. The
weakness Of a foe has often resulted
in weakened defenses O. in inconse-
%ouential forays and attacks. Already
among the Republicans there is a
growing disposition to discuss the
1928 campaign as one which will be
in the nature of a walkover. This
must be stamped out. If the Demo-
Gratis wish to wander through strange
by-paths, into strange pastures, let
them do it. The Republican party
owes to its supporters to continue
without deviation a straight and con-
structive policy along the line. A
Victory for the Republicans in 1923

it must be real and not a walk-Over.
