How Did She Cross?
BY FRANK FARMER

Fifty years ago Big Horse Creek,
a mile above Tuckerdale, was ordi-
narily as large a stream as New
River now is, at the mouth of Buff
falo creek. The writer saw an old
lady, a pioneer of the community,
cross Big Horse Creek without get
ting wet in the least. It was about Is
or 80 feet across where she crossed,
and the water was as much as IL
inches deep part of the way. There
was no bridge for her to walk on,
no rocks for her to step on, no boat
nor canoe to ride in, and she rode no
animal nor vehicle. There were no
automobiles in these days. If there

Colds Are Often
 Mistaken For An
 Attack Influenza

NEW YORK, Dec. 1, -Of the respiratory infections, the aver age person knows best the com- mon cold. Because of this. he IS likely to consider involvement of the breathing structures as just cold, and to treat it according ly-that is, mainly by neglect.
 If the case is indeed nothing but a cold, the sufferer may "get away with il', Sometimes, how ever, the respiratory derange- ment may be beginning of pneu monia, or the flu. Then neglect invites disaster
 To begin with, one should de- velop cautious respect for the common cold. Never neglect one. Go to bed and stay there until the condition improves. Or if this is entirely impossible, reduce physical activity to the absolute minimum, and correspondingly increase your rest. Avoid self medication with drugs.
 Make full use of such home remedies as hot baths and steam inhalation, employ warm cover ings and get plenty of fresh air Take fluids abundantly and eat nourishing, easily assimilated foods. Call a doctor and let him diagnose your case.
 Remember, too, that most cases of pneumonia are sequels to the common cold.
 The onset of influenza is usual ly abrupt. The patient becomes sick quite suddenly. Indeed, he may practically drop in his tracks. He is weak out of all pro- portion to his other symptoms. He may suffer chilly sensations or have definite chills. Severe aching pains, sensed all over the body and notably in the limbs and back, are commonly complained of. Fever may range from 102 to 105 degrees, but the pulse is not correspondingly high.
 Weakness Chief Symptom
 But it is prostration, the sud- den weakness of the patient, that is the outstanding symptom of influenza. This lack of strength many persist for weeks or even months after the patient has re- covered from his influenza.
 It has recently been demonstrat- ed that influenza is caused by a filterable virus, tht is, by dis ease-producing agent too small to be seen even under the most powerful microscopes. This virus apparently has a most debilitat- ing effect, for We find that the body's resistance to numerous typ es of germs is markedly lowered.
 What we dread is not the flu" itself, but the infections and com plications that follow.

in Urging Child Labor
Am en- DIM ent

PALO ALTO. Cal, Jan. 1l.-Her-
bert Hoover said President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt "is right" in urg-
ing ratification of a Child Labor
Constitutional amendment.
1.-THE major reason for is ratifi-
cation is the right of childrens'
health and to give them a fair
chance, but it is also important that
we have orderly constitutional chan
ges, instead of pressure on the in
dependence of the Supreme Court, =
the former Chief Executive said in
his first formal statement issued
since the Presidential election OF
last November.
Twelve more states are necessary
to make ratification complete. The
amendment gives Congress power
to regulate or prohibit labor by per-
sons under Is years of age.
