Urging victims of the common
cold" to think of the other fellow as
well as of their own discomfort, and
as far as possible to keep their germs
to themselves, Dr. R. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the Maryland State Depart

'Now that the season of the COM

The best safeguards against any

that the six best doctors anywhere are

and diet. To that we must add pre-
caution about dressing according to
the weather-and in this climate with
its sharp changes that is an important
part of our prescription for keeping
fit Then we must add still another
bit of advice. 1t is, to keep a safe
distance from people who have colds,
especially those who shower every
thing in sight with their germs when
they sneeze or cough.
That is the preventative side of
the story but sometimes we are I'M

case that happens is to go home; go
to bed; send for the doctor and to fol-

that he will tell you to stay in bed
until the attack is over and you will
find that it will save time and
strength to obey his orders.
There are two aspects of the COM

such that they force you to think of
youself. But this is a time to think
of your neighbor also. Don't be hos

Have your own glass or drinking

precautions you will want to observe

and this time Scoop isn't foolin'. There
are 81 prizes offered for variously
costumed people and there are going
to be so many in the parade that the
corn procession will just have to take
a back seat from now on.
To begin to name all those who are
going to appear would leave no room
for anything else but they are all rack
ing their brains for ideas and those
that have ideas are already practic-
ing for their public debut.

until Halloween, but it is thought that
the performance of few of them will
not be a surprise to anyone.
