The common cold is something more than a nuisance, according to tho U. s. Public Health service; 1t may be an unconmoniy serious matter. Tn the first place, 1t may Be the forerunner of a much more serious respiratory disease. such as bronchitis, or pneumonia. In view of its possible association with these serious respiratory diseases. the common cold may actually be- come a menace to life.
 In the second place, the common cold is very expensive disease. In the factory and in the school more time is lost from the common cold than from any other disease. Indnstry and education are both hard hit, and the cost of time lost from work and study is financial burden of no small proportions. The parent, the wage-earner, and the taxpayer are paying the piper.
 Since the common cold is such a large factor in the health of the na- ton and such a waste of the na- tion's time, 1t is of the utmost im- portance that it's ravages be pre- vented as far as possible.
 AS first principle in prevention we must recognize the fact that colds are infectious and contagious. Much time and effort have been spent in trying to discover the par ticular germ responsible for the common cold. The latest work seems to indicate that the cause of this disease is to be found in a fil- terable virus, that Is. this virus will f1ass through a filter and even a high-powered miscroscope cannot

THIRD POISON {. MYSTERY HITS
 MIDDLE WEST
Girl Is Dead, Boy Is Very LII and Father Died Year
 Ago-MOther Arrested

DeIavan, III, Nov 1s.-(UP)- The midwest's third poison mys- tery in recent weeks faced police to-day after a secret autopsy dis closed arsenic in the vital organs of Mildred Mason, 12.
 The girl. died under puzzling cir- cumstances last August.
 Arrest of the chiid's mother for questioning was ordered by Cor oner A. E. Allen. He said he also would investigate the strange ill., ness of Henry Mason, 16, son, and the death of the woman's hus- band a year ago.
 Disclosure of the latest poison death follows closely the unsuccess- full efforts of authorities of Seneca, III, and Lebanon, Ind, to solve poison deaths in those cities, At Senaca, a young girl died of ar- two children died as the result of a "poison picnic" where they ate sandwiches containing strychnine.
 The body of the Mason girl was exhumbed by authorities after neighbors of the family described circumstances which aroused sus- picions of foul play.
 During the chi1d's illness last summer, the mother refused to al- low a local physician to make, a thorough examination" he said
 However he had no suspicious of an unnatural death and dropped the case two weeks before the girls death. Another physician called as the girl was dying signed

If your skin is yellow-com- plexion pallid-tongue coated appetite poor-you have a bad taste in your month--a lazy, mo- good feeling-you should try Olive Tablets.
 pr Edwards Olive Tablets--a substitute for calomel-were pre- pared by Dr Edwards after 20 years of study. <
 Olive Tablets are a purely vege- table compound. Know them by their olive color.
 To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no pimples, a feeling of buoy ancy like childhood days, you must get at the cause.

 They start the bile and help overcome constipation. Take night ly and note the pleasing results. Millions of boxes sold yearly. 15c, 30c, 60c.

 a Serious Matter
Best Cure and Method of Protection for Everyone

detect the offending organism.
 The infective agent is found in the nasal secretions of the victim, who has acquired the infection by direct or indirect contact with someone else suffering from the disease. If you wish to avoid a cold, give your sneezing, coughing friends a wide berth.
 The difficulty of avoiding infec- ton is frankly acknowledged. Dur ing the cold season of the year, colds are very prevalent, and a large number of the patients are walking abroad in the land because they will not be kept in by "just cold. The innocent bystanders suffer. They are sprayed with the infection liberated by a chorus of sneezes. The hands of person with cold are practically sure to be infected from his nasal secre- tons, and the infection will be con- veyed to articles he handles and to other hands which he touches. Hence, 1t is almost impossible to avoid direct or indirect contact with the infection unless the people who have colds are willing to take measures for the protection of their fellows.
 The best method of protection, for both the sick and the well, is for the patient with cold to go home-to bed, if necessary-and to stay there until he has recov- cred. The patient needs quiet, rest and proper care and he cannot ob- tain these in office shoD ar factory While thus doing the best thing for

cency make every effort to protect them. Every cough and sheeze should be covered to prevent spray ing the infection over helpless as- sociates. The patients hands should be washed many times a day to re- move the infection which might otherwise be passed on to someone else. Keeping the hands scrupu- lously clean is a simple but worth while aid to the prophylxis of the common cold.

 But the time has not yet come when everyone with a cold will re- tire from public contacts. Perhaps 1t is too much to expect in the case of a disease the uncomplicated form of which does not actually force a person to his bed. If he does go out among his fellows, however, he should, in common de-
