Warns Against Colds
New York Health Authority Points
Out Danger in Common" Colds.

In letter published in recent issue
Of the New York Sun, the New York
and Health Association
says this about colds:
"This is the season for colds
yes common colds. But like many
other things that are called COM
mon because they are so frequent,
colds are no triAc-far from it.
Colds take more dollars and
cents out of the workers pocket in
one year than any other sickness.
They are responsible for a greater
loss Of time from school and work
than any other single cause.
Colds lead to very serious dis
eases y
Here are the big preventives:
Plain, nourishing food; plenty of
sleep; six glasses of water day;
frequent bathing (to train the skin
TO stand changes in temperature)
sensible clothing; breathing
through the nose; keeping the feet
dry; plenty of fresh air by night as
well as by day" y.
When you feel cold coming OF, stop
at drug store and get box Of Hills
Cascara-Bromide- Quinine, the tablets
in the red box. Take a, couple irnne-
diately and cold will break up in "A
hours. Hills ends a cold quickly be-
cause it does the four necessary things
at one time: Stops the cold, checks the
fever, opens the bowels, tones the sys
tenn. Costs only 80 cents.

Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-24

The surveys recently completed for
the Douglas half of the Douglas
Rodeo state highway which is to be
reconstructed to conform with federal
air specifications have been approved
by the bureau of public roads and
bids for the construction viii; be
advertised for within the next so
days. The entire highway from
Douglas east to Rodeo will run south

tracks and will be nearly straight

ment who spent the day Friday
interviewing the various ranchers and
land holders along the new route
whose land will be used for the new
right-of-way. Wagnon said that he
had experienced no objection from
any Of the land holders TO running
the highway across their lands and

Wagnon will return here some time
next week with the deeds for the

owners so that the route will be the

highway plans call TOR broad

south side OF the railroad tracks until

it again meets the old highway
beyond the second crossing near
Silver Greek. The old route will be
used where it runs in the line Of
the new one which is not for any
great distance at any place.
Wagnon pointed out last evening
that the new route when constructed
according to specifications will be a
bzouleVard and of an entirely differ
ent type of construction from the
present highway. He emphasized the
saving of $4,000 on each railroad
crossing eliminated. The right-of-way
man said that the new route will be
found to cut off many miles and he
predicted its paving within the next
two years as it is now approved by
the federal government Tor paving
as it will be built.
From Wagnon'S conversation 1t was
gathered that the first project to be
advertised for construction will be
from Douglas to a point near Silver
Greek and that this stretch is the
one which will be contracted for at
once. 1t is known that the survey
OF the stretch east Of Silver Greek
and on to Rodeo, or to the state
line Just this side of Rodeo, is not
vet complete but will be ready for
the bureau of public roads to examine
by the time the construction starts
on the first section.

A Negro Congressman

Oscar DePriest has been elected to
Congress. This news should strike a
responsive chord in the hearts of all
liberals of every race and class. And
Negroes should rejoice and sing
"hosanna in the highest"
But the end is not yet. Certain
facts seem to indicate that when MIR.
DePriest attempts to take his seat in
Congress he will be challenged. This
will happen primarily because of his
color. The contest is likely to be
hot. A grand jury has already in
dictcd Mr.. DePriest The stage is
all set for battle. The bigots of the
South will rise in all their fury to
prevent Congressman-elect DePriest
from taking his seat. They will not
say they are objecting to him be-
cause of his race but that will be the
underlying cause.
As pointed out by this newspaper
several weeks ago an indictment
does not prove anything. A convic-
ton is the thing that counts. Any
body can be indicted if certain pow
ers desire the Indictment.
Twenty-seven years have passed
since a representative of the Negro
race has been a member of the ma
tional law-making body. Since Con-
gresham White walked out of the
halls of Congress in 1901 the doors
have been effectively barred to those
of African descent. But apparently
that great progressive city of the
Middle West has battered down the
bars and sun-kissed American will
walk through the halls guided by
those other great spirits who have
waited through the years for his
coming. But-the fight will come.
Negroes everywhere should begin
urging their Congressman to fight
for a square deal Oscar DePriest
can be seated and will be seated If
right-thinxing Americans will stand
behind him unto the end.
