Don't Try to Wear 1t Out If You
Haze a Cold, Is DR.: MOrganS AdUice

IF you would rather pay Christmas bills rather
Il than funeral expenses, go right to bed until you
rid of your common cold, advised Dr. Herman
G. Morgan city sanitarian, today.
Pointing out that the wave of respiratory infec-
ton sweeping Indianapolis is little more than the,
usual recurrence early each winter Dr. Morgan
said it need not be confused with influenza, such as
the deadly type Of war days. But, he added, COM
mon colds easily can develop into bronchitis, ira
chaituS tonslitis and aryngitis or the serious
pneumonia.
mo common cold should be considered a trivial
matter said DR. Morgan. Don't attempt to wear
out common cold by keeping on the go. 1t may
wear you out first.
There are things you can do to avoid cold,
First be sure you have normal nose and throat
no distractions or chronic infections.

BE careful to have regular elimination. Avoid
chilling of the body, particularly letting your feet
get cold and wet and stay that way
Wear enough clothing to keep warm, but avoid
too heavy undertaking. The heavier undergar-
ments induce perspiration and make one more SuS-
ceptible to chillS.
use sense in selecting your diet Avoid rich,
heavy foods.
Have your sleeping quarters airy, but unless
you are used to drafts don't let the wind blow on
you.
IF, however, you get cold in spite of your pre-
cautions, don't try to ignore it,
Early to bed and slow to rise is good slogan
for the person with cold Twenty-four to forty
eight hours indoors-in bed if possible-often is
necessary to conquer cold. talen in time. Very
few colds will result in pneumonia this is DONE"

LUDLOW ASKS UPDIKE
RECOUNT SUIT QUASHED
Representative Elect Files Plea for
Dismissal of Fraud Charge.

Louis Ludlow, Seventh district
congressional representative elect,
filed a motion in superior court two
Friday afternoon for dismissal Of
the suit in which defeated candl-
date Ralph Updike seeks recount OF
the votes on the recent election.
Ludlow's motion asserted Updike's
motion does not state sufficient evil
dence; that it was not filed within
the time provided by statute, and
that a state court has no jurlsdlc-
ton over the contest.
County Clerk George o. Hutsell,
election commissioner, filed mo-
ton to dismiss the cause as to him
because he is not party to any re-
count proceeding. . His motion also
contests the courts jurisdiction.
Updike's recount suit alleges that
fraud was committed in the official
count.

Continuing his scorching Indictment

have no effect on the leaders who d.
rect the policy Of the railroads"

Of the Jacksonville wage agreement
between miners and operators, say
ing:
"This is the contract which was
violated. ~abrogated and trampled
upon By the Pittsburgh Coal COM

The union leader also entered sta
tistics OF declines in coal prices paid
by railroads which he said was a re-
suit OF the railroads campaign to
depress wages at will"
"The story Of their success Is writ

fields OF Ohio. Pennsylvania and
