No serum or vaccine has yet been
evolved that is of any real value in
prevention or cure of the old winter
boyle, influenza.
This is the opinion of Minnesota
State Medical Association experts ex-
pressed in bulletin issued this week
on influenza.
1.-The best preventative for this cold
weather malady is to keep yourself as
well as possible and avoid contact with
possible Infection" says the bulletin
Following are the Dos and Dont's
issued by the experts for all who want
a winter free, as possible, from all
kinds of respiratory infections:
l. Get plenty of sleep and rest e
to 10 hours every night with windows
open but under enough covering to
keep warm.
2. Eat moderate mixed diet and
drink plenty of water (six to eight
glasses daily
g. Wear clothing enough to be COM
Portable, to prevent chilling of body
surfaces, and to keep the body dry.
4. Keep out of dense crowds as far
as possible.
5. Avoid people with colds especially
those who are sneezing and coughing
Remember that there is more danger
from contact with those just beginning
to feel sick than those ill enough to
be confined to bed.
6. Avoid the use of common towels
wash basins, glasses, eating utensils
and toilet articles.
For the unfortunates who have al
ready contracted the disease, here is
good advice that may prevent serious
illness and complications.
1. If you have cold or feel i'll, go tc
bed at once, cover up warmly having
your windows open; send for a phys
ician and follow his instructions.
2. Do not take any so-called cures
There no specific cure for this disease
/ 8. If you cannot reach doctor, re-
main in bed, eat simple diet, take
plenty of fluids such as water, fruit
juices, milk, beuillon and hot soups
at freqeuent intervals.
Remember" says the bulletin, "That
the most important measure of treat.
ment for preventing pneumonia is Il
remain in bed until all symptoms have
ceased and then, under physician's
advice, to return gradually without
fatiguing yourself, to your usual ae-
tivities.

Japanese Name for Ship

The Japanese word "maru" means
ship. 1t is used in the names of Jap
aneSe merchant vessels to distinguish
them from warships and other craft.
1t is not known just how the word
came to acquire its present signifi-
canoe. Apparently it is derived from
the Chinese character meaning any
thing round or circular.

Christmas Parties.


In a statewide campaign to provide
Christmas cheer for the disabled, the
478 Legion posts and 4O5 Legion Aux
iliary units of Minnesota will on Dec
q, simultaneously hold a Christmas
party in each community throughout
the state, to which every disabled
veteran and his dependents will be in
vited as honored guests.
According to Department Com
mander Oscar F. Youngdahl of Mime
apolis, Douglas K. Baldwin Of st. Paul
state Legion radio chairman, has ar
ranged to broadcast that same evening
a special Christmas program over
WCCO, to which all the local Christmas
Cheer parties will tune for entertain
ment and good will messages.
Each post-unit party will have a
Christmas tree, with gifts for al
honored guests, to be presented with
appropriate ceremonies. According to
Mrs. Halsey Cory of Winona, state Le-
gion Auxiliary president, each Legion
Auxiliary unit will see to it that there
are plenty of refreshments and good
cheer at each party.
So that disabled veterans away from
home will not be overlooked, special
Christmas Cheer parties will be staged
att the Smelling, st. Cloud and other
hospitals. Because the Legion would
be powerless to aid the disabled were
it not for the more than one million
members with whose united voice the
appeals of sick comrades are placed be-
fore congress, each local post hopes to
announce at it's Dec. 81, Christmas
party that it has already enrolled for
1882 a greater membership than it had
for 1881.
Special lights on the local Christmas
trees will, at signal from Chairman
Baldwin over WCCO, be lit, the number
corresponding with the total enrolled
for 1932-the posts assurance to the
disabled of continued support in making
congress see the justice Of their pleas
At WCCO there will be big Christmas
tree also, which in lights will indicate
the district and state membership totals
Christmas Cheer for the Disabled, u
is our slogan, declares Commander
Youngdahl, ''just as our first concern
the whole year round is to better the
facilities which the government has
provided for their rehabilitation. In
this connection it is not anisS to pay
a tribute to Carl Hibbard, regional
manager of the United States Veterans
Bureau, who with his staff have CO.
operated to the limit in our efforts to
improve conditions for sick comrades. y

sausage.
When you choose a kitchen cabinet
see that it is well made, and mouse
proof; that the material of which 1t
is made is easy to clean; and that the
drawers and compartments are suitable
in size and shape for the articles, you
want to store in them.
To make hard sauce little different,
use brown sugar instead of white, and
CRATE in the rind of an orange for
flavoring. Hard sauce is good with
almost any hot steamed pudding.
To keep fruit cake in good condition
wrap it in waxed or parchment paper
after 1t is entirely cold and place it in
tight container. Some people like to
put in with the cake an apple cut in
half or a piece Of cheesecloth satur-
ated with cider Look at the cake from
time to time to see that no mold is
appearing.
Here are some suggestions for tasty
sandwiches for winter afternoon gather
ings, either at home or elsewhere:
Finely ground watercress Dreamed with
butter, and spread on graham bread;
parsley, with a few drops OF lemon
juice, minced and mixed with celery
butter in the same way; club cheese of
sharp flavor, with chopped English wal
nuts, few drops of onion juice, salt,
and tomato catSup; orange rind, grated
and mixed with butter Cut with fancy
cooky cutters.
Fruit, nut and other quick loaf breads
are made from mixture like that for
mullins only slightly thicker in some
cases. If the batter is comparatively
thin, the fruit juice or nuts should be
Toured before being added. The tenn
perature of the oven should be low
enough for the bread to bake through
without making the crust too hard or
brown. For small loaf temperature
of about 375 degrees F. is about right;
for large loaf it should be lower.
Test with a straw or toothpick. If you
do not have a reliable muffin recipe,
you will find one in Farmers Bulletin
1450-F, Home Baking"
Equal parts of mayonnaise and chilli
sauce mixed give an agreeable change
of flavor to salad. This dressing is
especially good with plain crisp head
lettuce or shredded cabbage.
Salt and other seaSonings draw out
meat juices and mask the flavor.
When broiling steaks and chops at
home, sprinkle salt on them just befoee
serving. Large roasts may be salted
when about half done

Don't try to burn it in the fireplace,

ply to any sort of Christmas green's.

way to Rome to talk with Premier

The Germans first words on meet

be n OF free interchange OF ideas
and not Of fixed topics for discus
sion. Members Of their delegation
have revealed. however. that they
will frankly ask Mussolini Just what
lis objections are TO the proposed
Autro- German customs Z ord.
Much as Germany is concerned
about the German minorities in ced-
ed provinces and especially in the
South Tyrol, Bruening and Curtius
do not intend to breach this sub
ject unless MuSsonini himself opens
the discussion. Should he bring ID
up. however. they are expected 20
reiterate Germany's view that minor

opportunity TO lead their cultural

governments desire for the greatest

They are understood further 20
desire certain revisions OF tariff
