Youth is being told that oAAAes

Young people, it appears, must

Nc coMMoN COLD

Progress toward control OF the
common cold is reported by use OF
vaccine sprayed into the nose.
A ST. Louis physician says "a per
cent OF patients observed over an
eight.year period we're free OF colds
following this treatment, tried
after experiments on rabbits Ten
per cent showed marked improve
ment and IS per cent were not oene'
fitted.
The treatment involves building
M tissue immune 10 the disease
producing bacteria. After the vac
cine of bacteria taken from the
cars. nose and throat is applied TO
rhe mucous lining of the nose, both
the blood and the tissues fight the
germs.
The tissues build up white cor
puscles to combat the invading bac'
teria. and the blood forms a counter
active substance.
The nose has two defenses
against the invading germs, the
front line. or the mucous blanket
and the hairy tissue covering IT,
and the second line" OF natural i'm
muue responses OF tissues.
Defense mechanisms sometimes
are broken down by the fifth col

and dietary insufficiencies.
The virus of the common cold is
compared to parachute troops.
It's attack is important only in that
1t prepares the way for the advance
of cold germs by destroying or
pushing through the mucous mem
branes of the nose.
Experiments on rabbits show that
vaccine applied in the nose pro
duces more protective substance
in the nasal mucous membrane and
the blood serum than in the spleen
liver and other tissues. The same
vaccine injected under the rabbit
skin produced more protective sub
stance in the spleen than in the

This is the professional eXplana

linquent adolescents. The ques-
ton seems 10 be how to convert all
parents 10 the same way OF think

easy way, but not the right way,
for punishment in many instances
merely aggrsvates the delinquency.
Child delinquency Is often the
result OF aggression. Such chill

To punish means that we do not

fy continued rebellion.

have no doubt that many
mothers and fathers are perplexed
as to whether camp life for the
Small fry" away from parental
care. among strangers will be a
good or bad experience for the
youngster. My experience is that
it is always a good thing for them.
Good Discipline
know of nothing more whole
some than the attitude of a sum-
mer camp for children whether
they come from homes where
money is plentiful or whether they
come from homes of the under
privileged. In fact, l think the
mingling Of the two groups is one
Of the best parts Of the experience,
and / am inclined TO believe that
at this time the men who are ir
military camps are probably do
ing better because many of then
in the period between the last wal
and this one have been subjected
TO the discipline Of summer camps
FOR youngsters.
1t is not necessary today to sell
he idea of the value Of the dis
,ipline Of camps. The less of q
problem a child is at home, the
more good camp does him. He
earns things about human con-
acts, about self-reliance and about
Nature that he will hardly ever
earn in any other way.
What / feel parents should
know is the great improvement,
that has been made by directors
of camps to safeguard the physical
health of children during their
camp residence. A certain number
of epidemics are bound to occur
but this is merely form Of vac
cination which Nature will impose
upon everyone who goes out into
life - form of vaccination which
medical science has no means Of
instituting.
By improvements in preventing
epidemics which might make camp
ing dangerous, refer TO the safe
guarding Of water supplies and Of
food. Contaminated water and
contaminated milk have been the
cause Of the great epidemics in
the past, but the causes Of these
are now entirely understood and
all good camps can control them.
II in Doubt, Ask Doctor
The effect Of camp life upon
under-par children is, with few
exceptions, remarkably good. One
sees a little, weak fellow start out
in the summer for camp and the
very fact that everybody there is
leading an active life helps him
TO come back brown and husky.
OF course, when any doubt exists,
it is important that the parents,
the family physician and the camp
director should all confer in order
to make a decision as to whether
any given child is likely TO benefit
from camp discipline.
