SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by Dr. Louis E. Biscll

TNHE common cold is q real
a menace.
All Of the people do not have
1t all the time, but all Of the
time some people who are so af-
fIicted.
we tend TO treat colds lightly
because they are not fatal.
On the other hand. since colds
are prevalent, especially during
changes Of season, this discom-
fort Is most annoying while the
sum-totaI economic loss sus-
tanned through remaining away
from work for q day or so
must amount each year to
millions.
Nor are we justified In be-
littling the effects Of the COM
mon cold.
Surely such disease as neilri-
It's, rheumatism affections and
q host Of other disorders in re-
lation to the nose, throat. tom
sils. and upper air passages
may be directly connected with
repeated attacks.
one point to be emphasized
Is that we do not catch cold
because Of draugnts or cold air,
Of and by themselves. We can
develop B cold without .
The common cold may be
caused by one or more Of sew
eral germs, many Of which IN
habit the mouth at all times.
al cold Is q germ disease. II
Is always an infection Of some
sort.
what happens when we catch
colds is that the resistance Of
the body or Of the throat and
nasal passages has been low
cred by the draught. After,
however, we have actually got
ten some of the germs OF q
yirulent nature from another
who has d cold.
For colds are contagious.
CareleSsness In taking care of
soiled handkerchiefs and Of
the nasal Secretions can and
often does infect an entire
family or q Schoolroum full Of
children or most Of the workers
in 8 factory.
Therefore when you Sneeze
always hold the hand or q
handkerchief before the nose
and hold the head down. Do
the same when you cough.
Keep the hand clean when
you have q cold and avoid con-
tact with others as much as
4 possible.
The best thing to do when
you feel q cold coming on Is to
60 to bed and stay there for
8 day or two. This procedure
Shortens the sick period, raises
the general strength Of the
body. and prevents spread OF
the disease.
A hot bath often helps but
care must be taken lest the
body becomes chilled after the
bath.

Getting Ahead

OStGAMB AuC8O
VOU wonder how the other
i fellow accomplishes SO much
with his income.
You know Of some Of his
economies. but you believe that
these savings do not account
for the amount Of difference
between what he does and what
you think Is about the same
sum Of money.
Many men have little ways
Of making money of which
they never speak.
In this they are wise, for
others indulging in the same
business would divide the
profits so much there would be
little In 1t for anyone.
You look at the man next
door or the one across the
street and you know you are.

these neighbOrS and you have
B larger income than they.
Isn't it because they are bet
ter managers Of their incomes?
A little more f-denial than
you are willing to exert.

small expenditures, more value

Your small outlays amount to

The Washington times., 1929-12-23

The market Is really nothing
but q street. It is wide and on
either side the vendors erect
their flimsy stalls or "barrows"
as they call them. The junk Is
arranged In some sembIance Of
order and the junk dealers,
turned clever, persuasive Iner-
chants, are ready for 3 day Of
pickering.
The dealers In Caledonia Mar
ket are Cockney to the extreme.
Their clothes are shapeless and
seedy, naayhap, but they have
ready wit and persuasive argu-
mentS. The women, In their
bonnets and shawls, look par
ticularly like characters out Of
q Dickens novel,.
Naturally enough, most Of the
stuff which finds its way to the
market is nothing but Junk. The
furs will be badly worn, the
crockery chipped, the paint
ings inferior works Of unknown
artists.
But and here IS the lure
every once in q while some avid
collector win uncover some fam
GUS work Of art. Many fine
prints have been found amidst
its junk and CRIME, and every
once In q while some authentic
antique furniture win find its
way to this clearing house. And
that is the reason why wealth
and culture win be found at
Caledonia Market.

And the little foxes roamed

Then along came q terrific

ONE GAIN IN. HOMICIDE
Detective Bureau Records
Include Only 545 Cases
Mot Closed

Despite the prevalent talk of a
crime wave" substantial reduc-
ton in crime in Indianapolis dur
ing the last year is disclosed by a
comparison of statistics in the Of
fee of Police Chief Claude M
Worley.
Statistics of the department to
date show a total of 1881 arrests
by both uniformed police and de-
tectives, compared with 33,438 ar
rests in 1928 for the same period.
Total number of complaints re-
ceived were cut from 11,221 in 1928
to 10,700 this year.
Property stolen the past year was
estimated to be valued at $1,429,-
900, a reduction of $4,000 under
last years figure. Of that amount
property totalling $1,191 900 was re-
covered.
Less Cars Stolen
Automobile thievery shows a de-
cline, the number of cars reported
stolen being 2,728, or 664 under last
years total, despite the increase of
about 5000 automobiles in the city.
Reports of stolen machines from
other cities totalled 1922, against
1892 last year.
The detective department under
Detective Chief Jerry Kinney in
vestigated 1888 cases the past year,
1888 of which were closed" There
is drop of 100 in the number of
detective cases investigated under

Worley's statistical record shows
an increase in burglaries from 1852
to 204. Homicides totalled %, one
more than last year. There were
204 vehicle taking cases, represent
ing drop Of thirty.
Assaults Increase
Other cases: Assault and battery,
81, increase of eight; fugitives 322,
increase of 10; felonies Lip, an in
crease of ITO; miscellaneous mis-
demeanors, $40, being a decrease
of "a.
The tough treatment" handed
out to automobile thieves by police
is believed responsible for the re-
duction in vehicle taking cases.
Majority of automobiles are
stolen by young fellows who want
them for few hours joy-riding,"
Worley said. This is proven by
the fact that most stolen machines
are recovered"
We've sent up number of these
young fellows and it has slowed
down their operations" the chief
declared.
