Health and

By DR.. w. D. Brown
The Common Cold

Every year about this time people
in this community start to have
colds. This fact is usually attrib-
uted to the beginning of autumn
with it's changeable weather.
Whether or not this reason is of
any value is still an undecided
question.
Much study has been directed
toward the common cold but as yet
the exact status of the condition is
undecided. For example, there has
not been found any one germ that
may be called the exact cause. Yet
the common cold must be an infec-
ton because it seems to follow the
laws of such diseases. There is
weakness, a slight fever, a nasal
discharge, an infamed throat, an
Initiative cough, a headache, and
this condition may be communi-
Gated to others through close con-
tact.
Some people have, or get, colds
easily, while others seem to be
immune. Drafts, wet feet, in
sufficient clothing, dampness may
or may not initiate an attack of
this disorder. Whatever it is that
bothers one person may not affect
another.
So it may be said that the ques-
ton of the common cold is still an
open one. However, this is of no
benefit either in preventing or cur
ing such a cold. Merely. because
we do not know everything about
this condition is no reason for its
neglect nor should we pass it by
because it apparently is so simple.
For we must constantly consider
the complications which occasion
ally arise from a neglected cold.
There is no specific treatment
that will be effective on all. The
general principles for any infec-
tious disease must be utilized to
overcome this disorder. The pre-
vention of recurring colds is the i'm
portant thing. This is done by
putting the body in the best physi-
cal shape or condition. All chronic
ailments must be eradicted; dis
eased teeth, tonsils, sinuses, especi-
ally, should be cleared up. Those
who are ill or who have colds
should be avoided; at least close
contact with them should be pre-
vented. Ample diet and sufficient
rest and exercise are important in
maintaining health and preventing
colds.

Native Troops March
The French have sent thousands

Madagascar and other points to
protect the interests of France as
Mussolini continues his unreason-
able course in Europe.
Thousands of rounds of ammuni-
ton, firearms, munitions, war sup
plies and motor trucks are there
bound for Ethiopia but they are
being held up on orders of the
French officials who do not wish
to offend the Italians at this point
by allowing the inland black empire
to arm.
The Ethiopian knows how he will
defend his own country and if the
white man wants to help him do
so, then Ethiopia will not deter
him. If he doesn't then they will
fight in their own way as they orig
inally intended.

his cards so that he may grab the
chance to ally his FESTIVE people
with either Italy or with Great
Britain, with the latter country a
bigger possibility.
Russia Watches Japan
The Soviets are watching each
Japanese move to aid Ethiopia with
intensity. 1t will be remembered
that Russia has made no offer to
assist Ethiopia, but has, through its
widespread Communist propaganda
bureaus, raped heavily such
countries as Denmark, Sweden and
Czechoslovakia for refusal to sell

fight before it had gone six weeks.
Other countries then would follow.

The Federal Housing Administra- tion will make a careful review of all the facts which were first con- sidered by the bank, and will also make additional surveys. If the Ad- ministration is convinced that the proposition is a feasible one, it will undertake to insure the mortgage, thus enabling the bank to release the construction funds.
 "The plan is not new', Mir. Peg ues explained. Tt has been tried with splendid success over long per- iods in other countries, notably in South America, as we'll as by some of the European nations"
 The1 following pertinent points were cited:
 1. Loans can be made only by qualified mortgages. They must, among other things, be chartered in- stitutions having succession; be To- cated in urban communities having trading areas embracing contigu- ous population of not less than 5000 and have combined unimpaired cap ital and surplus of not less than $10O,000, of which at least $50000 is unimpaired capital.
 2. The original principal obliga- tion of mortgage may not exceed $16,000 nor 80 percent of the apprais- ed value of the property as deter mined by an appraisal of the Feder- al Housing Administration.
 3. The mortgage may have a term not to exceed 20 years.
 4. The mortgage is to be retired by monthly payments.
 5. The basic interest rate for new construction is percent. The max imum basic interest rate for refin- ancing operations is 51I5 percent. To those rates there may be added in certain classifications, service char ge of one-half of one percent. In- surance premiums range from one- half of one percent to one percent Of course, the premium charge must be regarded as contingent amortiza- ton as well as a charge for insur- ance
 6. The mortgage must contain ann ortization provisions satisfactory to the Administration.
 2. Insurance will be granted on mortgages covering one, two, three, or four family dwellings. Not more than 25 percent of the space may be devoted to business purposes. S. Mortgages will be insured with respect to the following: (a) Property constructed before June 27, 1884 wherein the mortgage
