DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

} been done by our health au-
thorities to educate the people
against colds, it is extremely
unfortunate that such an article
as yours was published. There's
no getting around it-colds
are dangerous. Surely you have
seen households of little chill
dren and adults tired and
weary from snuffling and cough
ing - nights of sleeplessness.
Suppose they didn't hurt any
one Seriously-isn't the suffer
ing of the individual, the un.
pleaSantness to himself and
others enough to make them
worth working against?
From my own experience
and that of others in my
family I know that colds can
be prevented most of the time.
First of all a well balanced
diet. Then if one does start.
at the very first feeling of it
(anyone who has ever been a
victim can't mistake that SEN
sation in the noStrils) apply a
mentholated Salve by means of
toothpickS or small applicatorS
wrapped with cotton, we'll up
into each nostril every hour or
so. Take soda every two hours
one teaspoonful in a glass of
water.
Watch the Diet
Let the diet consist chiefly
of alkaline reacting foods and
most colds will just naturally
retreat.
Some times they come on
Stubbornly, relentlesSly, but even
then they seldom last more
than three of four days, and
are much less severe.
1T has been the greatest re-
lief and help to our family to
learn to keep the cold pest at
bay. Occasionally one slips
by, but it's nothing like it used
to be-
Il know people who are too
lazy, careless or thoughtless of
their own and others welfare to
go to the trouble of taking the
prevention or warding off treat
ment and they sniff and snort
and cough around for two weeks
when it could have been over

vented in the first place by a
balanced diet and the right
amount Of fresh air"

his power had gone to his
head.
Tiger-like rage distorted her
hard but handsome face. Her
eyes narrowed, like those of a
leopard. Then she spraug for
ward, eyes blazing, her words
fairly hiSSed through her
clenched teeth.
What do you mean, beat
it?" she demanded. You
think you're going to kick me
out, you dirty double-crosSer.
You slaughterhouse rat!"
Scorpio whirled at the epithet,
and glared at the woman. His
teeth barred in a wolf like snarl.
With a quick step he was be-
fore her, and, drawing back
his hand, he struck her.
The woman reeled back, and
her convulsive movement broke
the string of large pearls she
wore. Like marbles, they rat

Peaches, on her knees, crawled

You may get 'em younger. but
they won't stick to you like I

won't bother you no more-I
won't even say nothing if I see
you with another dame"
Scorpio eyed her, grovelling
on the floor, and then recollec-
ton brought an evil grin Of
triumph to his face. He roared
with laughter.
"Remember-When I told you
that one day you'd come crawl
ing on your hands and knees to
me?" he asked. between gasps
of merriment. "Well-every dog
has his day."
He picked up his overcoat and
hat, looked diSdainfully at the

little heap of rage and woe.

Now, a Youth of Babylon ap-'

Tell me, o Woman of Wis

kisses of women become unto
me as one kiss-and that one
deadly? For the fairest of lips
have become as ashes of roses,
and the most come-nither
smile hath no power to move
me.
Verify. verify, one damsel
differeth from another, only in
the flavor of her lipstick. And

And I counseled him, saying:
MY Son, be not without rea-

wine of love, today, yesterday,
and forever!

rieties of kisses. The kiss that
stimulateth the pulse and the
kiss that wearieth the spirit.
the kiss of love and the kiss of
experiment, the kiss of friend

kiss of adventure and the kiss
of duty.
But the deadliest of all
kisses is the kiss of HABIT!

Difference of opinion not
only makes horse races but also
apparently adds to the interest
of health discussions. It would
be a matter of real disappoint-
ment to me if all the opinions
I express in this column should
be read without arousing any
opposition or disagreement. I
would think that I had not sail
anything sufficiently interest
ing to provoke discussion. But
am not likely to suffer any
such disappointment this week
because I have had as good a
Scolding as I ever got, from a
lady who is apparently a regis.
tered nurse, about my article on
colds.
In that article expressed
the opinion that the widespread
habit nowadays among health
writer's of saying that colds
were not a minor malady,
but could have very serious
consequences was unjuStified.
First, because, so far as my
experience went, colds were not
fraught with any dangerous
sequelae, and, second, because
there was no use frightening
people about something that
could not be helped, and again
in my experience there was no
certain way to prevent colds.
Well, here is the lady's letter,
which I am glad to publish for
what value you may get from
it:

we're going to celebrate"
Scorpio'S Scowl deepened.
Where do you get that we
stuff?" he demanded. "I said
I was going to celebrate-but
I didn't say it was going to be
with an old battle ak like you,
did -" He looked her over
with distaste, then grinned.
I'm going to get myself a real
dame-a young one!" he con-
tinued.
Peaches voice assumed a
wheedling tone, though jealous
fear Smote her heart.
"Aw-don't get sore, honey!"
she begged, placatingly. Gee
you look handsome tonight"
Scorpio regarded himself with
more or less admiration in the
mirror as he adjusted his tie.
Not handsome" he re-
marked, almost musingly, as he
adjusted a large diamond stud
in his white shirtfront. "Not
handsome-butt then again, not
so bad, either" He applied a
little perfume. It reminded
him of Anne, downstairs at the
cashiers desk. She used the
same perfume.

THE PEOPLES CHOICE"
The Gouger never knew ex-
actly what was happening to
him in the hectic months that
followed Scorpio's announce
ment that he was to be the
next Mayor of Centro.
He obeyed, unhesitatingly, Of
course, when he was costumed
for the part with broad Stet-
son hat, and a pair of Western
bootS-and even managed to
try to talk with a western dia-
lect. Scorpio and Newton didn't
pay much attention to him
they were too busy organizing,
holding secret conferences, and
organizing some more.
Organization was compare
lively simple. Citizens who es-
poused the cause of John w.
Carson. the reform candidate, a
stationery merchant who had
promised to clean up" Centro,
were conferred with-usually
on dark nights-by a moral
suaSion committee from the
Scorpio gang. And when they
woke up in the Emergency Hos
pital they weren't so active
politically, as a rule.
The Centro police could do
nothing-or, at least, so they
told the protesting reformerS.
Banners, proclaiming Honest
Nick" Misoski as THE Peoples
Choice" floated to the winds
from many buildings in Centro.
Bands blared.

call to arms to the voters to sup

Sobbing and crying with rage

them up, as blood and tears
dropped together on the floor.
Scorpio eyed her with disgust.
God! A woman you could slap

"I've given you a year of my

At the ocean bottom. in many
 places which are fairly shallow, are animals which are trying to rise in the world. At least they keep building and building, one over another until at lost they reach the surface.
 Corals look like plants, and we might call them plaDt-animals. They are seldom to be found at a greater depth than 1b0 feet, be- cause cold water does not agree with them. They thrive in water
 which is 88 degrees Fahrenheit or warmre.
 When corals die, they leave be- hind them hard matter which serves as a foundation for other corals to build on. Young corals, arising from "buds" in the par ents, move about until they can I fasten themselves to some object perhaps the parent!
 Thus the mound grows and grows. until at last 1t becomes a reef or an island. DriftwOod and floating seaweed add to coral isla ands, and at length they may become covered by grass and plants. Human beings dwell on several coral islands. A small island called "Sombrero" is of coral origin, and is one of the West Indies. Coral reefs form danger to ships, which may run aground | upon them.
 In ancient times. coral was taken from the sea to. be used as charms. The Romans hung pieces around the necks of their children, to save them from danger. The olden Gauls placed coral on their helmets.
 It is reported that even at the present day. coral is used in Italy as q charm to guard people against
 "the evil eye"
