trouble, pneumonia and rheumatism were acts
OF God
When the rejected fighters wanted to know
what had given them their obscure ailments,
investigators announced their conclusion that
one-hah the disabling diseases had started with
the common cold.
This conclusion has been verified through the
years, and the United States Public Health
Service now says that probably -fourths OF
the cases Of pneumonia would be wiped out If
the common cold could be conquered-even
though pneumonias are caused by bacteria OF
their own. The cold paves the way for pneu-
monia.
The hunting ground of the cold is the nose.
Some people think of the nose as simple pas
sageway with two or three flaps that warm the
air on its way to the lungs. On the contrary,
it is a channel with as complicated system Of
side caverns as are found In the Mammoth
Cave Of Kentucky. These side caverns are the
sinuses.
The only entrance to these sinuses is from
the main canals of the nose
couple Of them push up into the forehead
bone; two large ones make hollow spaces in
the jawbone over the upper teeth; clusters OF
tiny ones lie along the upper part of the bone
that divides the nose into two sections; and
other large ones at the back of the nose extend
into the bone on which the brain rests.
These almost-closed cavities have tiny open
ings into the main canal Like it, they are
Lined with mucous membrane covered with tiny
hairs, which keep up q constant wave-like mo-
ton to roll out the dust and bacteria taken In
with the air.
AS soon as the nose is irritated by bacteria
the lining begins to swell. The swelling slows
down or stops the action of the hairs. As the
irritation Of the nose proper almost always ex-
tends in some degree to the sinuses, the en-
frances to some Of the little caves are apt to be
blocked. The result is pain and pressure.
When the irritation subsidies the stuff that
has accumulated in the sinuses flows out freely
and the pain goes away. If the swelling con-

To good part Of the population the prob
lem Of food has always been that OF getting
enough Of any kind to keep life going. TO
those that had plenty, the chief question has
been whether thing had a good taste or not
although there were always fretful people VINO
said that this or that did not agree with their
stomachs.
About the middle of the nineteenth century
the composition Of foods began to attract at
tention.
Toward 1900 q number Of agricultural ex-
pertinent stations were considering the matter
seriously because, while the farmer regarded
sickness and weakness among his children rs
an act Of God. he had q suspicion that illness
and poor quality in hogs and cows might be
. matter OF poor feed
The food chemists researches uncovered the
vitanlins and showed their Importance to Life;
and one discovery was that lack Of vitamin
in the diet lowered resistance to infections Of
the respiratory, intestinal and urinary tracts.
This clew was seized by the cold fighters.
Hundreds Of experiments were made all over
the world to find out whether there was real
connection between the snuffies, pneumonia,
and intestinal ulcers and the lack Of sufficient
vitamin in their diets.
One Vtamin after the other was left out Of
the otherwise perfect diets. Laboratory animals
on food mixtures lacking vitamins B, C, ID, e,
or G grew UP bow-legged, bald, rough
skinned hairless, undersized, or nervous, but
they only developed infections in the nose and
inner organs occasionally, and then when they
were so weak as TO be near death.
CONVINCED that the connection between
~ the lack OF vitamin A and the infections
was not accidental, the next question was why
the bacteria always present in a normal body
had such power when the body lacked vitanin
A. And further extensive research indicated
that the absence Of suficient vitamin weak
ened the tissues to the extent Of giving the
bacteria their chance to start trouble.
MILK, butter, eggs, liver, and green vege-
tables are the best common food sources OF
vitamin A, though the amount Of the element
found in animal products varies with the

If the pain goes away without treatment 1t

Any cold hanging on in the nose is

II the common cold is at the root Of so many
Ills, what causes the common cold? Nobody
knows The exact agent has not yet been

it is probably virus that no microscope or
chemical stain can pick out

that medicines strong enough to destroy bac-

its owner more liable to colds.

SHANHAlKWAN
AREA IS QUIET
jap Garrison's Desire To
"Spank Chinese" Was
Cause OF Incident

PEIPING, China, Jan. 6. (BS5.
The Japanese military had consol-
ida ed their positioss around Shah
haikwan inside the Great Wall to-
day preparatory to a long stay
while diplomats seek to settle the
incident" which brought them
into North China.
The Japanese charge daffaircs
here. S. Nakayama, told the Unit
ed Press that there were "increas-
ing indications" that the hostilities
around Shanhaikwan would not
spread. He declared that Japan
has no intention at this time OF
occupying Tientsin or Peiping.
Nakayama in an interview in
sisted that even the Japanese mill
tary strategis-s do not regard COR
troll of the Tientsin-Peiping area
as necessary to preliminary mill
tary operations in the Province of
Jehol.
He admitted, however, that the
Japanese had seized Shanhaikwan
as a result of what he said was a
long pent-up desire by the Japa-
nese border garrison to see action
and "spank the Chinese" whom
they had confronted without a
move for Is months.
Nakayama said he expected dip
lomatic negotiations to settle the
incident now. but intimated that
there might be some delay. He
said his government felt the next
move for settlement now was up
10 the Chinese, and that it was a
local incident rather than one to
be settled by correspondence be-
tween Toxic and Marking.
Meanwhile, it was generally re-
garded that Japan had practically
taken control of Jehol Province,
much in the manner that she
seized the three fertile provinces
of Manchuria, now Manchoukuo,
a year ago.
At Tientsin, Lieut.-General Ko-
taro Nakamura refused to receive
a dispatch from the young Mar
shall Chang Hsiao-Liang, in COM
mand in North China, concerning
the incl1ent. Nakamura said he
had no desire to enter into CORE
spondence with Chang. but had
merely wished to admonish him
against any overt moves.
The young marshal insisted,
however, that the seizure of Shan
haikwan created a national emer-
gency and placed his troops at the
disposal of the National govern
ment at Marking. He awaited or
ders for future action.

continued for one more year, 1t
was decided.

While economy was a para

elect and those who must carry
"out his program discussed the
whole range of problems now con-
fronting the nation, including
farm relief. inhstionary proposals
which recently have forged to the
front, the tariff, unemployment
relief, railroad legislation, beer,
and repeal of the 18th Amend

tered the Roosevelt home they
were reminded of tht distress in
the nation by demonstration of

group. numbering about SO at the
time first went away when police
ordered, but returned later in

there should be additional taxes

There was much speculation en-
