EAT PROPER FOODS TO
PREVENT COLDS

There is no better method of pre-
venting or treating common colds
than eating foods which build up the
natural resistance of the body to
cold infections, says Esther Selleg,
extension nutritionist A diet which
is rich in vitarnin A builds up general
health, increases the body's resist
ance and makes for almost an i'm
nlunity from ordinary infections.
These foods also aid materially in
the treatment of colds and if COM
bined with complete rest usually af-
feet quick recovery.
Codliver oil contains this valuable
vitarnin A as vita1nin D, in its most
concentrated form and Miss Selleg
recommends that a teaspoonful be
taken daily throughout the year, to
supplement a deficient in the average
diet foods which are rich in vitamin
A include butter, cream, whole milk,
eggs, fruits, and certain vegetables
such as lettuce, spinach, beettops,
sweet potatoes, yellow turnips, car
rots, cabbags, and squash, in fact
any that are leafy or possess consider
able color pigment.
However, not only is the generous
use of these resistance-building foods
necessary, but care must siso be
taken to eat moderately of meat
and rich foods such as pies, cakes,
and candies. Most fried foods are
much more wholesome when pre-.
pared in similar ways and also more
digestible. Hot breads and griddIe
cakes may well be replaced by whole
wheat bread, and rich desserts by
simply prepared fruits. Eating be-
tween meals should also be avoided.
In the treatment Of a cold, Miss
Selleg gives this simple prescription:
When the first symptoms of cold
apl ear the sufferer should gu tc bed
and stay there, continue the use Of
codliver oil, eat nothing but fruit,
and drink large quantities of water. IF
the cold is light, one day of this
treatment may cure it and perhaps
stop what might have been pro-
longed illness.

Some people think that allspice is
mixture of all the spices. This is
not correct. Allspice is really a kind
of pepper. 1t is the dried, unripe
fruit of the pimento tree, which be-
longs to the same family as the Glove
tree. 1t gets its name, allspice, from
the fact that it has been said to have
the odor of all spices.

An Acid Test.

Through its very inconclusiveness the
Wickersham report appears to have in
creased enormously the amount of
casual conversation on prohibition.
This in itself is an accomplishment
of some note, since for some years past
the eighteenth amendment has been
the most popular topic of talk wherever
men or women have gathered. Most
Of the talk, Of course, has no signifi-
canoe. Most of the widely varied
opinions have no significance.
There is one acid test which any in
dividual can put to himself To deter
mine what he actually thinks about
prohibition, in distinction from what
he says. After all, what most of US
say most of the time has no real re-
lation to what we think. We say what
ether folks are saying. Probably we
do not actually think at all
The acid test is simple enough Let
the individual imagine himself made
the supreme authority on this disputed
issue. The people, let us say, a1e in
hopeless confusion over the multiplicity
Of statistics produced by vets and drys
and over the fine-spun philosophical
and theological arguments. SO they de-
eide to settle it all by giving John
Jones, an honest man of demonstrated
goou judgment, complete authority to
make whatever disposition he pleases
of the liquor question.
Just put yourself in the place OF
! Jonn zones What would you do about
, it2 You have the full authority You
have the full responsibility There will
be no shifting of blame or credit. The
results of whatever you decide upon
good or bad, will fall entirely to your
credit or discredit.
If individuals would put themselves
to this acid test before talking about
prohibition much of the loose, con.
fused. meaningless. interminable srgu.
ment of the present would be avoided
Talking involves no responsibility.
Doubtless there are arguments on all
sides OF the prohibition question. Many

Prime Minister BENEFITS Visit.

Washington will welcome next week a
distinguished guest from across the Dor
der, Prime Minister Richard B. Bennett
of Canada, who became the head Of the
new Dominion government last year as
leader Of the Conservative party. 1t will
be Mr.. BENEFITS first visit to this coun-
try in that eminent official capacity.
Ostensibly here to consult the Ca
madam legation and otherwise confine
himself to purely family affairs" it, of
course. goes without saying that Mr..
Bennett will have ample opportunity TO
commune with Washington oficialdom
on those matters of high Importance in
Canadian American relations which
more or less necessarily engage the at
tention Of the two governments.
The Conservative party was swept into
power at Ottawa largely on the Ameri-
can tariff issue. Mr.. Bennett was In
the forefront Of the campaign which
successfully educated the Canadian
electorate to believe that the Dominion,
which is the United States best Gus
toner, had not received a square deal
In the Hawley-Smoot law. Canada did
not confine her protests to resolutions
Of disappointment. She said them with
deeds. She promptly instituted set OF
countervailing duties which were to be
imposed on various classes Of goods en-
tering Canada. It is not known tc
what extent. If any, the new schedules
are affecting Canadian-Americap trade
Whether or how much they affect it Il
beside the much more vital question oi
the strain which tariff hostiiities impose
upon the relations between Republic
and Dominion.
There Is another Canadian American
sue which presents is thornY side

the st. Lawrence waterway. The
United States is awaiting reply to its
note of last September inquiring
whether the Canadian government
now finds itself in position" to pro-
coed with steps to make the proposed
sea-to-the- Great Lakes canal reality.
The Dominion holds views on the
project, with which Uncle Sam hitherto
hes not seen eye to eye. The great port
Of Montreal is not enthusiastic over a
scheme which suggests the possibility
that it may forfeit much of its impor-
lance as Canada's Atlantic gateway.
The border liquor problem is yet an
other Canadian-American issue. There
are Canadians who oppose the use of
Dominion police power as an American
prohibition enforcement agency. Can
ada maintains a quasi-embargo on
liquor expectations to the United
States. That. too, is proposition on
which there is divided counsel in the
Dominion.
So, although there is not a solitary
gun or fortlhcatlon anywhere along
5000 miles of Canadian-American
frontier, or single man-of war af1oat
on the lakes which form our water Dor
der. there is no lack of controversial
material in our contacts with the great
people to the north But Premier Ben
nett's sojourn is one of those face-to-
face events in international intercourse
which accomplish hundred times
more than diplomatic correspondence
or face-making in Parliaments and
Congresses.
Washington greets with pride and
cordially the North American states

ership of the Canadian nation.
