Children's Colds

With Flu Around
Colds Lower Body Resistance
and Often Pave the Way for
Flu and its Serious Complica-
ti0ns.
NEW PROTECTION OFFERED

While there is no present cause
for alarm over the development of
scattered cases of flu in this local
ity, health authorities urge that ex-
ira precautions be taken against its
spread-especially to be careful in
avoiding and treating colds just
now.
The safest course to follow is that
outlined in Vicks Plan for better
Control of Colds. Briefly it is this:
To Prevent Many Colds
Watch yourself and children care
fully for any sign of Catching cold"
At that first feeling OF stuffiness
or nasal irritation, sniffle or sneeze
Natures usual warning that cold
is coming on--use Vicks Nose and
Throat Drops, the new aid in pre-
venting colds. Vicks Drops aid Ma
ture in throwing orr the infection
that threatens. They prevent de-
velopment of many colds.
To End a Cold Sooner
If cold has developed or strikes
without warning, vigorous measures
are necessary. At bedtime, massage
the throat and chest well with Vicks
VapoRub. 1t acts two ways at once
to bring relief: BY stimulation
through the skin like a poultice OF
plaster; and by Inhalation of its
medicated vapors direct to irritated
air-passages. During the day, use
the convenient Vicks Nose Drops
every few hours as needed for added
comfort and relief.

UNCLE WIGGILY FOOLS THE

Uncle Wiggily thought it would
be a smart and clever thing to
sneak along behind, follow him and
find out what sort of Christmas
presents he was going to look at,
and later, tell Santa Claus to bring
to the hollow stump bungalow.
Baby Bunty and the girl rab-
bits said this wouldn't be fair, SO
they went off to school. The boys
trailed Uncle Wiggily. He saw them
behind him as he was going into
the store.

FRONT AND CENTER, NED

0F COURSE it isn't very polite to ex-
" pose the mistakes Of a contemporary,
but when he IS laboring under a misap-
rrehension that one can correct the cor
recting might as we'll be done.
Under the heading Much Ado About
Nothing Much, Editor Worthington of
the Yuma Sun charges the Imperial Val
ley Press with "howling" because offices
of the engineering force that will build
the All-Ameriean canal, might be locat-
ed in Yuma.
We are supposed to have shouted
solemn warning" that unless something
was done, Imperial Valley will lose
something. And we screamed so loud
shouldn't it be loudly, Ned?) that its
voice was heard in Yuma.
The truth of the matter is that The
Press has made no comment whatsoever
on the possibility of the canal headquar-
terS being located outside of Imperial
Valley. On December The Press car
ried a news story in which the Ell Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce protested
against the possibility that the offices
might be located in Yuma Editor
Worthington is a good newspaperman
and if he is even one-half as good as we
think he is, he knows that carrying a
news story has absolutely no bearing on
q papers policy or what it thinks rela-
tive to any subject.
If Ned does want the opinion of The
Press we might say that we are not
greatly concerned where the offices are
located so long as the construction of the
canal gets under way. That, to us, is
far more important than the location of
the offices.
This being the season of the year when
one is urged to think little more re-
garding the other fellow, we will go so
far as to say that we would not object
strenuously if the offices were located
in Yuma. We have faint suspicion
that Imperial Valley can struggle along
and manage to survive even if the offices
are located in Yuma. But we are not so
sure that Yuma wouldn't have bad at
tack of the heebie jeebies or something
worse if the offices are not located IN
that city.
Very truthfully the Sun editor points
out that Yuma made no howl when the
Hoover dam engineering offices were To-
Gated in Denver That is true, and to
the best of our knowledge no howl was
made by Kokomo, Indiana, Red Bank,
New Jersey, or Tallahassee, Florida.
These places would have been almost
as logical as Yuma for the Hoover dam
engineering offices.
Nope we're not peeved at Ned, or
the Sun, or Yuma We just want to set
them straight. And we also wish to
thank the editor for paying us the com
pliment OF saying that our howl could
be heard in Yuma. That certainly proves
that we are read.
And as a parting shot, Ned, we are

Americas ambassador at large
in Europe, Hugh Gibson, soon will
have a Japanese counterpart.
Irosi Saito, now counselor of the
Japanese embassy here, has been
named minister to The Neither
lands. While The Hague will be
his permanent post, he is expected
to travel freely over Europe, espe-
cially to Geneva, to perform special
diplomatic work for Japan. SINH
larly, Gibsons post is Brussels, but
he may be found more often in
Geneva, Paris or London-where-
ever important negotiations are
pending.
In baseball parlance Gibson and

diplomates, skilled and acquainted

world. Hence they are often sent tc

colleagues.
The Japanese embassy here has
more than its share of artistic tai
ent. Saito writes poetry, rather mel
ancholy, mystic verse, in pithy
English. He inherits his literary gift
from his father, well known Jap
anese scholar, who is an authority
on both English and Chinese lit
erature.
Kosaku Kidzusawa, first secretary
of the embassy paints well. His
apartment walls are hung with
beautiful oils, many of which he did
himself. He paints in the American
rather than the Japanese style, spe-
cializing in landscapes.

GOSH AND SAKES ALIVE

PULL FIGHTING appears to be doomed
Il IN Mexico, if the capital of that coun-
try enforces a new law which has been
instituted there by the chief of police
and if the law spreads to other parts
o1 the country where bull fighting is
practiced.
The chief has announced that here
after swearing and profane language at
bull fights will be prohibited and that
those violating the new law will be ar
rested and punished.
We can't say with certainty that the
Mexican swearS and uses bad language
when he attends exhibitions of his favor
ite pastime. We can only judge him
by the conduct of Americans when they
are watching baseball, football, boxing
or other athletic contests.
Boxing fans are notorious for their
habit of spicing their enjoyment of con-
tests with birthstone language, notwith-
standing the ruling of the state athletic
commission that such language must not
be INDUCED in at licensed clubs.
Almost equally bad are football and
baseball fans, many of whom relieve the
tension of their excitement via the cuss-
word route.
Violent language is by no means con-
fined to those attending sports, but
seems to be quite general in all lines of
endeavor. There are even charges that
it is heard in newspaper offices-in ed
itorial offices at that These charges
are probably the result of numerous
newspaper films which have been shown
in recent years. They are as groundless
as the charge that black ink is used in
printing newspapers.
The chief of police and his men in
Mexico City are going to be mighty busy
if they try to enforce the new law and
we would not be surprised if they have
to break the law themselves in order to
enforce it.
And if the chief of police could read
our thoughts on bull fighting he would
probably reach right over into the Unit
ed States and pinch us.
