The frequency Of colds during the
different to them. "Oh, it's just coldl"
signifies our attitude that it Is some
thing to be suffered and disregarded.
Yet colds are the forerunners of q
number Of the childish diseases and Of
pneumonia. Mothers send their chill
dren to school provided with plenty of
handkerchiefs and the oft-repeated
warning not to sit on the cold ground
or on cement steps, but with no
twinges Of conscience because of the
many children their own may infect
at school.
Some recent experiments upon apes
and q group of humans, who volun-
teered as experimental material, made
it certain that the germs OF the COM
mon cold are lodged in the nasal pas
sageS. Both apes and humans can de-
velop @ cold simply by having some of
the washings from the noses OF sufferers
put into their noses. Such knowledge
u wasted unless mothers are social
minded enough to prevent their Sneez-
ing, nose-blowing children from coming
in contact with healthy children.
Our two leaflets pertinent to this
subject and the season are six Rea-
sons for Catching Cold" and Home
Care Of q Cold" One or both may be
helpful for parents and may be secured
by sending a Self-addressed, stamped
envelope with your request to the Your
Baby and Mine" department Of this
newspaper.
Coming in contact with some one
who has q cold is, then, the first and
foremost reason for catching cold. But
mothers assert that their baby has seen
no one, but catches cold each time he
goes outdoors. What about that2 1t
Is possible that q child so susceptible
to colds lives In a superheated at
mosphere and has an old-fashioned
mother who keeps him swaddled in
woolens-one can hardly buy them
ready made for the modern baby any
more. In that case the prodigious eff
fort which his skin would have to make
in changing from the hot house to the
cold Winter atmosphere would be too
difncult, and the child would grow
chilly. A chilled skin and the lowered
temperature Of the body predispose to
colds.
Diets during the Winter are almost
always Of the heating" foods, which
usually means acid ash foods. Eggs,
meat, cereal. breads and fats in ex-
cess all contribute to the body acidity
and we are told that an acid condi-
ton makes US more susceptible to cold
| germs.
The baby or child who catches cold
| from whatever cause should be in the
house. The child with a fever should
likewise be in bed. There should be
daily baths and 3 light, easily digested
diet. Medicines of any kind should be
advised by doctor, for home dosing Is
always to be deprecated. When the
weather is clear and the temperature
not below zero and the child's fever
gone, he will profit by short airing
outdoors, provided he Is kept from
contact with other children.

OUR CHILDREN
III ANGELO PATH.
Santa Claus.

Eyes, believe in Santa Claus. What
would this world be without him?
| Lonely as a desert, no child can abide
in 1t until that FOSTERING old elf peeks
| his wise eye over the northern sky rim
and blows an elfln horn.
| Grown-upS are so drab. Life with
them is so dreary. It's prunes and
cereal and spinach and Did you do
your ears?" with long spans OF lessons
! in between. Santa is necessity.
| A small person just has to know O
| beautiful secret just has to be acqua1nt-
ed with magic, IL he is to live with any
degree of comfort in this very grown
up world, where every grubby fact is
hauled in by the heels to receive ex-
acted homage even to the last punctua-
ton mark and dollar sign. One has to
have q friend skilled in the wisdom OF
unreal things, one able to whisk OF
the face of this ordinary world and dis
close that land where wishing is having
and laughter knows no tears. OF course
I believe in Santa Claus.
When ones ears grow deaf to the
voices about them, when all that Is
happening takes on a sudden strange
ness, and q feeling Of utter loneliness
falls upon ones spirit, there must be .
things come clear and plain, where all
that happens becomes quite right and
cozy and friendlineSs nils the air.
| 1t is always a great help to have an
! imagination that sets things right at
the exact moment when they appear all
wrong. 1t is a great gift that enables
one to summon q fiery charger from
out q crooked stick, a dragon from
under the hearth rug, and q sword of
FURNISHED steel by cunning twist Of
the wrist. The staid world fades away
and In its stead are stately castles whose
corridors ring to ones stately tread
rainbows that carry one to fortunes
gold. sugar-plum trees and nobody to
bother.
It is in this pleasant place that Santa
lives. Good old Santa, who has brought
smiles to the faces Of countless little
children through unnumbered years.
Loving old Santa, who has searched out
the innermost secret yearnings and
brought them to light In his knobby
pack on Christmas morning.
He Is coming. Prepare for him. Make
q magic Take q handful of children.
Fill them to the eye with loving kind
ness. the spirit Of Christmas. until 1t
overfiows in shouts Of Merry Christmas.
Think out secrets and bring them to
: pass. FIJI the house with holly and fir
and the spicy smells of Christmas good
les. Set out the red candles and deck
the tree. He Is coming.
But you must make O magic. A
magic Of love Is what draws the REIN
deer across the sky, sets the stars aglow
and the herald angels singing. A magic
Of love win bring riches untold, and
10y, and Merry Christmas, and Santa.
OF course I believe In Santa. Don't
you?

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.
Dainty Dessert,

Chocolate Bavarian cream should be
classed as an expensive dessert. 1t is
not hard to make. It needs care and at
tention, but then so does rice pudding.
And it Is certainly one of the daintiest
Of desserts.
To make it, heat a cup of milk in q
double boiler and add two squares Of
bitter chocolate, cut in small pieces.
Stir until smooth and then add table
spoon and q half of granulated gela-
tin that has been softened in q couple
of tablespoons of cold water, and when
that has melted add a third Of q cup
of sugar. Place the dish containing this
mixture in a pan of cold water and stir
occasionally until it is cool and thick.
In the meantime whip pint Of thick
cream, Or q half pint OF cream and the
whites Of two eggs. When the choco-
late mixture is cool, fold in the cream
and egg and pour into q mold that has
been dipped in cold water. Let 1t chill
and harden and then turn out. Serve
plain or with whipped cream.

Andrew Mellon, apostle of collapsible prosperity, and Herbert Hoover. no apostle. but pro- moter. who as secretary of commerce. spent millions to capture world markets and as president signed tariff bill that prohibited debtor nations from selling to us and so ob taining money to buy from us or to pay us. Consequently. We have taken about one-half the worlds gold, a duty-free commodity, and thus are responsible for England's de- parture from the gold standard and the currency troubles in many other nations.

AFTER THE CARNAGE
(Hartford Times)

Although the past summer has been an annoying one for humans in the Connecticut valley in the annual battle with mosquitoes and many would prefer to hear no more about 1t, there is neverthe- less, point to the federal gov ernment's reminder that the war to end all such wars has yet to be fought. The department of agri- culture has been investigating mos quitoes and produces some inter- esting, even if not very helpful information.
 To some it may be news that only the female mosquito bites. The male is, from the human view point, a most civilized creature and Kipling's line applies truthfully that 'the Female of the species is more deadly than the male." The biters go looking for human blood at different times of the day. There are those who look for prey in the morning, others go forth at dusk If after sunset you have been par ticularly viciously bitten, chances are it was by a Mansonia mos- quito, the greatest go-getter in the host. It lives in the grass during the day and it is well to pass over such infested areas by airplane.
 The Sylvester mosquito is an in- teresting creature. It has not only a keen sense of bloodthirstiness, but has brains in going about to satisfy its craving. Being a small mosquito 1t has discovered that the ordinary screen mesh need be no barrier if the hungry mosquito will lay aside it's pride about flying high, wide and handsome. Accord ingly the Sylvester folds it's wings as 1t dives for the screen and like ly as not will strike an opening in- stead of the wire and find itself on the side where its prey .ounges in false security.
 We were disappointed in not learning why mosquitoes leave some individuals alone or at least cannot produce welts with their poisonous injections as pay for the blood taken. We had hoped that perhaps such persons might Do made to produce a serum whose injection might make others im- mune to the mosquito bite. Until some effective mosquito preventive Is found this world. with or with out democracy. Is not wholly sat- isfactory place to live in. Mean while there remain much land to be drained and many screens to be kept in repair.

ed authority in the conservation of game birds in this country in recent years.
 The average game warden of tI- day is different type from the in- dividual who played favorites, looking the other way when one of his friends wanted birds or ven- ison out of season. That no one has immunity from the restraints of the law is evidenced in the case of an official of prominent duck ing club in the Southland who killed more than his quota of geese two years ago. He was promptly reported by the manager of the club and fined the limit. There are plenty of wardens of this type do- ing everything in their power 10 help nature and sustain the game laws.
 Underlying the present-day con- servation situation has been the reckless destruction in the past of game of all kinds. Sportsmen of the present time, while irked and chafed by restrictions, honor she ethics of sport. They have the satisfaction of knowing that they are laboring for a good cause.

UNFOLDING GAME CONsERVA-
 TION.
(New York HeraId-Tribune)

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 When the migratory bird treaty act went into effect and spring shooting with its slaughter of game birds on their way to the breeding grounds of the north was abolished. long step in the direction of true game conservation was taken. The prediction of a speedy return to the ideal conditions that once ex- isted in favored areas did not. however, take into account She handicaps imposed by nature. Dis ease and drought of recent years have taken a heavy toll and rem dered compulsory a shorter open sr son and reduced bag limit.

Additional Doctoring

The plans for loosening up credit in this country are admirable. They have been ap- proved by financiers, business men and the general public. But it would be unfortunate if such processes were taken as complete solution of our business problems The effect of more liberal credit for industry. trade. homes, etc. is largely psychological. The mere prospect of more money being available makes everybody feel better, en- courages spending on the part of those able to spend, stops depositors from worrying about their bank funds. But merely doubl- ing the amount of money in the country, or enabling everybody to borrow twice as many dollars as he could borrow before, is not a panacea for dull business.
 There was plenty of money and credit in the country when business turned bad. This is just financial stimulant to pep up business; or to change the figure. general fabrication to ease the friction. We must still make fundamental improvements in the economic machinery. Some of the indus tries need special treatment by experts. The various industries must have better team work, instead of each going its own way. The system of getting products to the con- sumner needs a drastic overhauling. The last word hasn't been said about wages and prices - their proper levels and their effect on the buying power that sustains industry. Capitol and labor are still far from working out a system of eo-operation, flexible and fair for both sides.

GERMAN SEA WARFARE

On Tuesday, Oct 20, German warships bombarded Dunkirk and German raiders sank two British destroyers and nine merchant ships. .5
 No civilian casualties were re- ported in Dunkirk.
 Sinking of the ships by the Ger man raiders took place in the North sea between the Shetland Is- lands and the Norwegian coast.
 England's losses for the week ending Oct 20 included IT ships of over 1900 tons.
 Meantime the British began an enveloping movement northeast of Bagdad and drove the Turkish forces in the vicinity of Kizil-Ro- bat across the Diala river.
 On this date President Wilson issued a. proclamation specifying Sunday. Oct 2S, as a day of prayer for war success, and asked his "countrymen to observe the ap- pointed day, according to their sev- eral faiths, in solemn prayer that Gods blessing may rest upon the high task which is laid upon us. to the end that the cause for which we gave our lives and treasure may triumph and our efforts be blessed with high achievement"

Beauty and Business

Retail business in Cleveland started about l5 years ago moving uptown along the city's famous Euclid avenue. The department stores and elegant shops nearly all went in that direction and their patronage followed. For while 1t was busy, prosperous and happy section. Then big railroad terminal development began pulling people and trade back down town. It was heart-breaking for the Euclid merchants. Enormous in- vestments were threatened. Old, established firms feared bankruptcy. Something had to be done
 The uptown stores and theaters have or ganized and decided not to move not to sell out, not to go broke, but to improve.
 We are going to make of this district another Fifth Avenue, like New York's" they say. Fifth Avenue has no projecting signs. no overhead wires and no signs that are not supervised. It has adequate trans portation - just what we are determined to get = and has cleaning service that keeps sidewalks and streets spotless' Also high standards in other ways. Now it begins to look as if that region will hold its own. A good business section is seldom an accident. If natural location helps it, so much the bet ter. But business values are largely what business men put into their own neighbor- hood Almost any business locally can draw profitable crowds by making itself beautiful and easy of access.
