CONCERNING MICROSCOPICAL
 LIVESTOCK

LIVESTOCK
 Most of the stereotyped propa' ganda which comes by the basket. full in every mail is pretty dreary reading. But from bit distributed by some Council" or other Casually that name suggests that proprietary interests are behind it) I pluckec this paragraph the other day:
 Although exposure, exhaustion dissipation, insufficient and improper food, and unhygienic surroundings which lower the general level oi health tend to make one more sus' ceptible to colds.
 You see, the bright young woman who composed the piece had to gel over the idea of lowered resistance, without saying 1t in the hackneyeo way.
 .. even healthy noses and throats harbor many varieties of microscopy ical livestock such as staphylococci streptococci, and pneumococci, it was stated
 People have been led to believe that olds are simply congestion ot the nose and throat. But, say the medical scientists, colds are really ar acute infection in which congestion of the nose and throat Is only one symptom.
 Just who the medical scientists are the bright young woman doe! not reveal, but unless she has then all wrong they are regular enough medical scientists, for the staphyl- ococci, pneumococci and streptococ. ci are more like vegetables than like livestock, and no one has educec any evidence that such germs, har- bored in nose and throat by a nor. nal or healthy person, can or dc cause any illness in that person.
 As for the rest of the explanation or elucidation of colds" attributed to the medical scientists, there i' no particular evidence to support any of the notions set forth as pre-. disposing Or contributing causes oi infection. All that Is just this sea- sons rehash of the hackneyed the ories which were current thirty ol forty years ago.
 Any one fairly well informed ir bacteriology should know that strains of staphylocci, streptococci and pneumococci are usually found in the nose or throat of the norma. person, and that these normal ir- hibtantS of the nose or throat are generally -pathogenic. that is they do not cause disease in any cir cumstance.
 The idea that anyone can carry ir or on his body the makings of a spe- cifiic infectious disease and develop the disease himself if or when his susceptibility happens to be in creased, or if you prefer, when his immunity or resistance" happens tC be lowered by some such circum- stance as fatigue or worry or insuffi- cient or improper food or dampness or draft or rotten weather, is ut terly absurd and only self-made

THEY LIKE TO
 SHOCK THE OLD FOLKS

JOllIllly ShSo, JuAGlJ pSChuoC lS admires any kind of strength and partly because he knows it will make his parents sit up and listen "You have to admit that Hitler ss military genius"
 Instead of jumping down John- ny's throat and declaring that Hit Ter is hystrical little man, be req sonable," Dr. Vile advises. Ask Johnny just how much he knows about Hitler, setting him straight whenever he is wrong on his facts.
 "Then tell him that Hitler has tinquestionably done some hood things for his own people. Admit that he is possibly military gen. jus, but point out that to anyone who believes in freedom rather than slavery, his genius has been misdirected."
 A son near conscription age says he doesn't think his country has the right to sak him to serve a year in the army.
 Dr. Vile thinks 1t is important for you to try to foster in your son an attitude, not for conscrip- ton, but for individual responsi- bility to his country. The person who feels personal responsibility for his country won't resent giv- ing whatever service his country asks of him.
 Young Paul has some ideas that aren't popular with the rest of his crowd. He is honest in his beliefs, but he doesn't like his sudden unpopularity.
 Parents" says Dr. Vile, should make 1t clear to their children that while 1t is a mans privilege to be- lieve as he chooses in democracy, he must be willing to take the full responsibility for his beliefs. As an example, point out that the Quak- CTS have never lost face because of their conscientious objections to war, because the Quakers have al- ways taken full responsibility for their beliefs and have served their country in other ways than fight ing"
 A son or daughter of college age ocmes home full of radical ideas and confronts his father with them.
 Dr. Vile suggests that you an- swer these radical notions by say ing: T understand why you think as you do. At your age felt the same way. But have learned from experience that ."
 Dr. Vile admits that you will probably be called an "old fogey" for your pains but thinks you need mt worry too much about the radi- cal ideas of your children. AS he puts 1t: Tt is natural for young poole to want to change the world overnight. But age almost al- ways dillutes the red into pink"

 @. What is the normal incuba- tion period of canaries?
 A. About fourteen days.
 o. How can the curl be restored to feathers that have been exposed to damp weather?
 A. They may be improved by holding over fire and shaking oc- casionally until the matted flores are loosened, and the curf vii lbe re- stored. If the curl has been entirely taken out by wetting or soaking it will be necessary to curs the fronds with the blunt edge of knife or a piece of ivory. The feather should be entirely dry: do not take more than two or three fronds at a time Drw them between the thumb and the blunt edge of silver knife or an ivory paper cutter, beginning at the point of the feather and work ing along the stem on both sides After a little practice feathers may be curled to look like new.
 c. How can nits be removed from the scalp?
 A. Rinse with vinegar and coInh small sections of the scalp with e very fine e-toothed comb.

Household Hints :
SECOND OF TWO ARTICLES Modern Child Can Put Parents Through Tough Quiz Program
BY RUTH MILLETT NEA Service Stan Writer

The war and the economically troubled times have raised many questions in the minds of children and young people-questions which you as a parent may be called on to answer.
 Some of them may prove so tough that you will welcome help in ans- wering them.
 Here are the suggestions of Dr. Ira S. Vile, noted psychiatrist, to par ents who have to deal with some of those questions. Dr. Vile wants it made clear that parents have a right to answer the questions ac- cording to their own beliefs, opin- ions, and ideals. These answers are merely suggestions to parents who feel in need of help. Typical queS- tions:
