closes at the Palace, London, the

WAR Before. During After Greatest Scourge. of All Times Still Perplexes Brains of Most Civilized Nations of
 This World
By ROBERT w. HAYES

ed by the ravages of war now must be supported in unproductive labor to rehabilitate the victims of war who themselves have lost their productivity. Need it be necessary to say more as to why wescannot afford war, leaving aside the more important part of the costs which cannot be measured in dollars-the destruction of human life.
 REFLECTION
 The 9th commandment says Thou shalt not kill". Can the re- sponsibity of war be charged to re- ligion or because of lack of relig- ion? The writer is in a quandry and deeply grieved by human his- tory. A new and more terrible war has loomed on the horizon and has reached the rumor stage. Does civ- iliZation progress or retrogress? Are humans inherent killers tenn porarily restrained by a rest period between wars? Is man doomed to destroy his own works and his own kind? Must history continue to re- peat itself? Are we to ever learn anything from history? Adam the first man was tempted to believe he could be as great as God by eat ing fruit of a certain tree. Jesus, believed by millions to have been God in the form of man, was killed by man. Man what are thou, Fool ish Beast or Beastly Fool-Would that the mystery could be solved.

SLEEP DEFENSE
 AGAINST COLDS
Resistance Also Aided By Right Food-Diet Ele=
 nents Explained

Persons who have been fortunate enough to avoid catching cold thus far this winter will probably, by the law of averages, become in- fected with one before spring ar rives unless they make 1t a point to build up their resistance by eat ing proper foods and by getting plenty of sleep, Dr Willard Knowl- ton, director of the Bureau of Pre- ventable Diseases of the state de- partment of health. declared in the departments weekly broadcast to- day. Dr. Knowlton also urged those afflicted with colds to take precaution against spreading germs to others.
 Possibly food is even more im- avoiding exposure to excessive changes in temperature without proper changes of clothing and maintenance of proper temperature indoors, although the others are very essential, Dr Knowlton said. Recent Investigations, he said, in- dicate that Vitamin A (present in cod liver oil, milk, cream, butter, eggs, carrots, and other common foods) probably exerts an anti-in- fective influence by keeping intact the mucous membrane of the re- spiratory tract so that germs can not pass through 1t so readily.
 Mineral salts in various foods help to keep an alkaline balance in the blood, which while normal ly alkaline cannot keep that quail ity without aid of the proper chem icals. Calcium is one of the great est helps in preserving alkalinity and it's best and cheapest source is milk. Children need at least a quart of milk daily and adults at least pint. Other sources of these chemicals are fruits and vegetables. Too much heavy foods, rich pud- dings and other heat producing foods may overtax the body's power to maintain proper alkali- acid balance and should be avoid- ed. Likewise, overeating should be avoided.
 Sleep is the next best defense aganist colds. Fatigue reduces re- sistance, so that plenty of sleep is needed at this time of year.
 If. in spite of all efforts. one still catches cold, Dr Knowlton urged. he should stay home. go to bed and call the doctor. Prompt treatment will minimize the danger of pneumonia, middle ear disease and other serious complications. Don't give germs to ohters by coughing, sneezing or handshak- ing; and. # well. avoid those who have colds and don't shake hands with them, was the directors Rd- vice.
