Cold Curses Fail

From time immemorial mankind
has sought a cure for that most
prevalent Of all diseases the COM
mon cold, and the remedies that
have been tried are legion Many
times il has been thought that a
real specific had been found. but
hopes were blasted under scienti-
nc tests.
The reason so many alleged
remedies have been recommended
and used, often with apparent
success. is that a cold gets well
OF itself unless aggravated by ex-
posure or some complication. But
the search for q cure goes on, and
results OF a long series Of tests at
the Stillman Infirmary OF Harvard
University have just been made
public
Altogether nearly 100 students
were treated over period OF
nearly three years. every suppos-
ed remedy that could be thought
Of being included among those en-
ployed. While a story Of the tests
would be long. the conclusion
reached was short.
It was the same conclusion that
has been reached by every wise
physician since the days OF Hip
pocrates. the father OF medicine,
namely, that the one and only ef-
fective treatment for q cold is
complete rest,
Nenthol and other applications
may soothe the irritated nasal
membranes. and aspirin may re-
lieve the headache. but the real
disease has 10 get well of itself
Going 10 bed and staying there
assists nature in reducing the Sc
verify Of the attack and fastening

the Island cedar trees is preserved
in the work of their descendants as

Polish is never used in the finishing

preserves the pungent fragrance Of

He is still getting about 200 letters

who, during their conference in
Washington last month, adopted
resolutions particularly critical of
many Federal policies, especially
those dealing with taxation and

attitude oward industry"
To date, about 5000 letters have
been dropped into the Commerce
Departments mail box, but ap-
parently any analysis of the con-

One significant inkling as to
what the letters reveal was seen by
many Washington correspondents
in Mr.. Roper's only comment
when the analysis vas sent to the
White House. He said then that
apparently the nation does not
favor any "long-term plans for
control of production, either agrl-
cultural or industrial"
When the Secretary of the In
terror appeared before the House
Appropriations Committee last
week, he explained that a $50, 900
item in his budget requirements
was for a new publicity section.
He jestingly said he thought it
necessary because the Interior De-
partment had not been able to
make page one in the newspapers
since the "blue bathroom" episode
several months ago! At that time
there was considerable comment
about the luxurious private bath
in the S~ecretary's newly built pri-
vate office suite, which also in
cludes a kitchen.
The committee denied the re-
quest. The House, however, REIN
stated the item.

Another factory is coming to

The bentonite plant which will be

However. Hardin is not primar-
lily an industrial town. and it is
not likely that it ever will be. Fac
tories that can make use of raw
products that we produce are more
useful to Us, but the main oc-

ed that the river itself had taken

that the water was flowing
through a couple of fields.
That reminded us of the hoary

his way around an obstacle is a
lot more likely to reach the place
he is heading for than the stub
born critter that keeps on bump
