DIET AND. HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

The report of the WickerSham
committee fades into insignifi-
canoe beside the report of a COM
mitee from Columbia University
on the cause of the common
cold. Unfortunately the two
reports have much in common.
The Columbia report will sat
isfy neither the vets nor the
drys among the noses interested
in the common cold. The mem
bers do not know exactly what
the cause of the common cold
is, nor how to prevent it, nor
how to stop it, once started.
Cause of Colds
The most widely accepted
idea of the cause of colds is
that they are due to a sub-micro-
scopic or filterable virus. This
means a germ so small that it
cannot be seen by any micro
scope now in our possession, and
which passes through filters
with such small pores that they
would catch any of the bacteria
we can see with microscopes.
The virus is highly contagious
and implants itself on the mem
branes of the nose and throat
with great readiness. After it
alights there it has the curious
property of stimulating any
germ which may happen to be
in the nose or throat to great
activity. The result is that in
the secretions from the nose or
bronchial tubes in the later
stages of a cold we find an enor.
nous variety of germs, but they
are not the actual cause OF the
cold.
Stages of Spreading
Contagious as it is, the cold
is probably not spread by q

driver turned and looked at me.

he said. And sure enough he
did. We stopped at a fruit

fruit and cigarettes, which he
divided with me.
The car rolled along over
the smooth road, orange

birds in the trees and once a

He looked away-but he did
not have to answer.
I knew, here I was at last,
Alma Rubens, Fortunes Favo-

screen. Here I was at the last
refuge of the desperate, and
the helpless.
We entered the drive way,

patient in the later stages,
when the coughing and nose
blowing and secretion running
are at their highest. 1t is in
the very early stage, perhaps
even when the prospective vic
tim does not feel badly, that he
is most likely to give it to
those he meets.
This makes it not very easy
to keep ourselves from giving
colds to others, and accounts
for the rapid spread of the
disease in epidemic times.
The incubation period. that
is the time between when you
get the cold from someone else
and when you come down sick
with it, is SO to 48 hours.
How to Prevent Colds
The only way to prevent colds,
one gathers from the report, is
to shut yourself in a closed
room. Your food must be
brought by attendants who are
surgically sterile. The eating
utensils must all have been re-
Gently boiled. No one who
has the sign or vestige of a
cold, even if gauZe is worn over
the mouth and nose, must come
in the room. You must not go
to the movies, the theater or
to church-in fact, you must
not leave the room. You must
not kiss or hug anybody. If
you want to avoid colds that
bad. there are the rules.

if so, how? JACK.
You have taken stock Of your
assets and liabilities, and now
the next thing is to set about to

be to look up a good night

usually held on three 7vcniIlgs

are essential to an actor. Then,

CHAPTER 30

All my mind, soul, and body
were concentrated in my ears.
I listened intently with my
mind made up.
The instant there was a
sound that meant that those
men were going to break down
the door of my refuge, I would
take that sharp knife and
plunge it into my throat and
put an end to the whole horror
Suddenly there was a new
voice at the door-a voice
recognized.
1t was an old family friend
Speaking-a man I had loved
since 1 was a little five-year-old
child.

poor child, you aren't afraid 'of
me, are you? You know
wouldn't do anything to hurt
you, don't you?" I began to
tremble. Oh" I sobbed, "Oh,
I'm so glad you are here. Help
me, please help me-" and then
I opened the door, and fell
straight into the arms of our
old friend.
Plans to Help Her
Don't cry so, Alma," he said;
I'm not here to hurt you. I'm
here to help you; give me that
awful knife"
1 obeyed him like little, gen
tie child. He took the knife and
put it out of my reach.
Nov, dear" he said. what's
this all about?"
Just as I began to speak two
men stepped into the room.
They had handouts, and a
restraining belt in their hands.
I tried to get to the knife,
but they were too quick for me.
My battle for freedom was lost.
On the way downstairs I
turned around and called back.
Don't worry, dear. you
thought you were doing every
thing for the best, I forgive
you"

He took up a newspaper and began
to read accounts of the election.
Three men came through the

toward the unsuspecting Buckley.
He seemed not to notice them even
as they paused near his chair. They
deliberately drew revolvers from
their pockets. Eleven shots reSound-

listeners they seemed like one con-
tinuous explosion. Buckley was pro-
baby dead before the echoes Of the
gunfire died away.
The three men calmly walked to
the door and disappeared.
So meager were the clues that
they left that it was not even deem

the killing over the police radio.
