Common Colds Hurt
 Children In School
Students Lose an Average of Two Days Annually
 From That Cause Asserts Beatrice Hall,

ease of xerophthalmia an infection of the eyes, became prominent. When laws were passed limiting the exportation of dairy products xoro- phthalmia almost completely disap- peared. This classic example has proven the need for vitamin A for resistance against disease.
 In more recent studies 1t has been shown that while the vitamin does not completely protect from colds, 1t lessens the severity and duration.
 With all these studies we wonder just how they can be related to everyday living. A careful consid- eration of present results of research and daily experience indicate the importance of an excellent diet, in- cluding all essentials in building re- sistance to infections. So during the summer months, as well as the oth- CTS, keep in mind the dietary needs Resistance to colds can be built up by plenty of dairy products which contain vitamin A. It must be re- membered that even though the sun Is beneficial 1t supplies only one of the many substances needed by the body for optimum health. During these pleasant outdoor months the diet may be made simple and yet adequate by constant use of fruits, vegetables and milk, the foods best known for dietary protection.

People naturally associate colds with winter weather. But even in summer there are a great many sufferers from common colds and infections growing from them, such as sinus and mastoid troubles. We can no longer regard the common cold as a minor disability. Some in- teresting figures have been compiled that show that the common cold, with its complications and resulting illness, has cost industry more than A million dollars year. During the school year children lose an average of two days annually, max ing a total loss of more than S4 mil- lion days from that cause.
 Such statistics are rather dis heartening and particularly un- pleasant to even think about dur inr the warm, sunny months. Even in summer, which we try to make the vacation months of the year, 1t is necessary to think about good health and do all possible to keep well. Vacation Is a very good thing and is needed just as much py mothers as anyone else. But, for the sake of an easy summer, good food must not be sacrified, We are apt to overlook the importance Of cer. tain nutrients in the enthusiasm Of acquiring a coat of tan. Certainly no one will say a word against ob- taining the beneficial rays of the sun, If other health habits are not forgotten.
 A subject which has had a great deal of current interest in the field of preventive medicine has been the influence of nutrition upon resist ance to infection. From all the studies made 1t would seem that @ deficient diet greatly reduce resist ance. Of all the dietary factors sug- gested as possible aids in resisting infection, vitamin A has probably received greatest consideration. In the laboratory where the foundation. for most nutrition work Is laid there is an undisputed association between deficiency of vitamin A and respira- tory infection. Many studies have been made with children, too. Per- haps the most striking is one that was unwitingly carried out in Dem bark. During the war when Dem mark exported its dairy products (notably rich in vitamin Al the dis

Just Drop Dough on Baking Sheet tediously rolling out cookies these hot summer days2 It also takes skill and patience to roll and cut the soft, "short" batter so essential to, good cookies. That is why women are enthusiastically welcoming this easier way to make better cookies.
 Try tlNa new method once and you'll never go back to the old way. It's so simple, too. Just drop cookie dough from a spoon or pastry bag on the baking sheet, leaving space between. Let stand few minutes. Then press into shape with the bot tom of glass covered with a damp cloth. Occasionally dip glass in wa ter and pat twole to remove excess moisture. No tedious rolling! No messy cuttlngl And the last cookies in the batch don't get tough from added flour and extra handlingl This is so much simpler than the old method that you can i'll your cookie jar with tender, tempting cookies in no timel

With our greatly improved re- frigeration, 1t is not difficult to keep all fruits and green things as crisp as though just out of the garden. For the morning, then, let us fea- i ture fresh fruits and light, yet nourishing, cereals, forsaking for the time being the heavier ones in favor of those which require no cooking and are crisp and light as thistledown.
 One does not ask @ more tempt ing dish than rice flakes with red raspberries dredged with finely powdered sugar and served with very cold cream. In this way we can have Q tasty and appetizing morning dish and at the same time include fair amount ot roughage or cellulose, which is SO beneficial in promoting proper elimination-in its turn an absolute essential in the health and beauty program,
 Another day will come very light omelet to which has been added Q little finly chopped ham which gives the flavor of that we'll known combination without the heaviness of winters meat-and-egg dish. Or we Hay vary the omelet with minced mushrooms instead Of ham.
 There is even & way in which to make lighter that old favorite, the fiap- jack, which many consider the O. 'c-perfect breakfast dish. To suit cakes to the summer season, tighten the batter by mixing into 1t at the last moment few table, spoons rice flakes, put in whole, as they come from the box. This IS especially good with the old-fash- toned fiap-jac recipe which IS made with sour milk and egg.
 Good proportions would be two cups of flour, two level teaspoons of baking powder, one-half tea spoon of salt and one tablespoon spoon of sugar, sifted together. To a cup of sour milk add one-fourth teaspoon of baking soda, stir well and add to the flour mixture. Beat two eggs until very light and add to the batte-. Just before frying, add one-half cup of uncrushed rice flakes. Serve with strained honey or crushed fresh fruit which has been sweetened.
 Crisp grilled bacon may accom- pany the cakes, or, if preferred, you may even have sausage. If served in summer time this should be the small, dainty link sausage which fries out crisp and light. There really is no reason why one should forego a favorits dish, provided one is careful to modify 1t to suit the season.
 My idea of good summer menu including the flap jacks would be a first course of fruits in season; then fiap-j jacks made light with the rice flakes and served with honey or crushed berries. grilleq little sausages. nice and brown and coffee. This makes a pleasing menu for sL aday morning when one rises late and desires to post pone dinner until late afternoon or early evening.

That big business is the thing that foolish

The intelligent white man of today creates,

That is what intelligent government should

all that we have in the saving of time and money,

MORE VERSE


Representative Bertrand w
Gearhardt, of California, in one Of
his speeches turns to this verse
"Is life worth living? Yes;
So long as there is right to
wrong,
Tyranny to find or to the wall
OF the weak against the strong;
AS long as there is gloom to
chase,
Or streaming tears to dry,
One kindred woe or sorrow,
That brightenS as we draw nigh.
Long as a tale of anguish
dwellS;
In the heart and lids grow wet
And at the sound of Christmas
bells
We pardon and forget;
AS long as faith with freedom
rings
And loyal hope survives
And gracious charity remains
To leaven lOwly lives,
While there is one untrOdden
track
For intellect or will
And men are free to think and
act,
Life is worth living still"

m HIS will remind you that speed adding to
= the length of our lives by saving time and to
our knowledge of the world by moving us around
it quickly, is one of the greatest blessings that
the genius of man has conferred upon the human
race.
In the days of the Forty miners" only short
time ago, our ancestors in search of gold and
new lands, crossed the continent in the covered
wagon, drawn by oxen, in 1872 days-unless wild
Indians or accident destroyed them before they
reached their goal
Then came the miracle of speed" as it seemed
then. Men of enterprise stretched steel rails
from ocean to ocean, and clumsy locomotives,
with big smokestacks and "cow-catchers" in
front, rushed across the continent in seven
days." saving IT'S days in 1S2-day trip. Surely
that must be the maximum speed, everyone
thought.
But the day did come when the streamline
locomotive, with tracks properly balanced and
raised, made the trip in two and one-third days.

take it. Men who needed to live
in hammocks or die in beds were
not only a nuisance and embar-

Of action-"with their boots on"

Journeys
DANISH RIVIERA"

An interesting communication
brings to light the news that
Denmark is making a further bid
for tourist traffic by promoting
the beautiful countrysideS of FL
shore as the Danish Riviera. !"
We wonder that this hasn't been
done long ago, for the ElSinore
scene is about as charming and
as varied as any traveller could
wish to discover. Set in sapphire
seas, famed by soft breeZes, pos
seSsed of medieval charm, this
section of the Danish coast
should be a big attraction.
Elsinore, of course, is mainly
famous because of its aSsocia-
tons with Hamlet. Kronborg
castle tells the story of Elsinore
and of Hamlet, and it is thrill
ing to tread the spots immortal
lied by Shakespeare. Kronborg
basks in the brisk northern sun
like a siren revealing her en-
chanting and ageleSs loneliness.
The famous old fortress is now
a museum, with an interesting
shipping and commercial exhibit
ton. But to the visitor the at
fractions are the marvellous old
knights hall, the old renaissance
church, the meats, the ramparts
the battlementS and the under
ground dungeons that speak so
eloquently of the embattled but
stored and romantic past. To
show how modernity is elbowing
it's way into the past, we find
plans under way to make the
huge knights hall into a con-
vention hall. Personally, we think
that it is d fine idea, for more
novel setting could never be dis
covered or conjectured.
Elsinore is famous for its won
derful old churches. These include
the marvellous Carmelite cloister'
one of the finest we have seen;
also the Church of st. Olaf, which
dates back to the year 1900. Then
there is the Marienlyst court and
gardens with Hamlet's memorial
stone.
