when there is a sharp rise in incl
dence which reaches its peak in the
middle Of February and then de-
clines until about the first Of April.
This Is one of the few facts that
we can say. and say scientifically,
that we know about colds.
What doctors know about colds
can be summarized very shortly.
What they believe about colds is
about the same as what you be-
lieve about colds-in other words,
3 hodgepodge Of opinions, per-
sonal experiences, conclusions and
superstitions.
Warnings
Since we are running into the
period Of expected frequent incl
dence, it is natural that health au-
thorities about this time of year
begin 10 give out warnings some
what TO this effect: Look out for
the common cold" Just what you
do besides look out for cold in or
der 70 prevent it is left more or
less IT the realm of speculation
You are advised not to 90
around people who have colds.
This sounds all right on paper, but
it would be pretty difficult to find
any human habitation in practical
life right now where nobody has
cold. Whether colds are catching
or not is somewhat debatable. II
they are, they are only catching
when the affected person is in the
very early stages. even before he
begins 10 feel bad enough TO emit
an occasional sneeze.
Two Weeks TO Develop
II is estimated that it requires
about two weeks after you have
been exposed to a cold for it 10
develop in your own body. When
the cold sufferer is all stopped up
and talks through his nose and IS
coughing and generally miserable,
he probably is not in a position 10
transmit cold 10 anybody else at
all.
So much for prevention by
avoIung contact " nat ABOUT toe
vaccines? Well, / pointed out in
this column a year or two ago that
DR.. Diehl of the University Of
Minnesota gave number OF stu
dents cold vaccines and another
group sterile water hypodermi-
caliy, and in the two groups he
found the incidence Of colds was
no higher among those who had
received sterile water than among
those who had received the vac
cine.
But doctor friend Of mine
who gives cold vaccines says that
while he feels like a quack when
he gives them, his wife insists on
taking them and she ha. even
talked him into taking a round
every year for the past few years
himself. So human nature being
what it is, it may help psychology
cally at least TO take cold vaccines-

When we wish to Judge the i'm
portance of some substance 1t may
BE- well TO ask ourselves the ques-
tton. What would we do without
IT,"
Just how would we get along
without glass? What kind Of win
dow panes would we use? What
would we do for bottles? What for
jars7
To cover our windows we might
employ oiled paper, as did some Of
the pioneer settlers on our con-
tinent. A person may see through
oiled paper, though not so we'll as
through glass. The oiled paper
would bring a special fire danger,
and the wind might batter 1t out
Of place.
We could try isinglass, but it
would be hard to get enough of that
from the fish which provide it. True
isinglass is composed OF the air blad-
ders Of certain fish. such as the stur-
geon, cod and carp. 1t is whitish,
and Is not easy to look through.
Mica (often called "isinglass') is
a mineral which would do better for
windows. Some kinds of mica are
yellow. green, black or red. but
much Of it has no color and can be
called transparent" The trans
parent kind is widely employed for
Lanterns and heating stoves of an
old-fashioned type.
Yet there would be troubles about
mica. We do not have enough of a

vated in the United States, though
parts Of Long Island. N. Y, are well
known for brussels sprouts produc-
ton The plant Is very popular In
England and on the continent and
is easily grown. Perhaps this year
it will find its place In the sun In
American gardens.
The soil in which to plant brus-
sells sprouts is that which is adapted
to the growing Of cabbage or late
caulfower. In the seeding stage
the plants resemble the ordinary
cabbage. Later in its development
the auxiliary buds. instead Of re-
naming dormant as is the case Of
cabbage, develop into miniature
heads, their makeup exactly like
that Of cabbage on q small scale.
OF course, this plant is subject to
the attacks made by insects on other
members of the cabbage family.
The green-worm. cut-worm. aphis
and the harlequin bug being the
most aggressive. Then the damp
ing-on fungus, mildew and rots also
attack the plant
When it is about time to harvest
the sprouts, the lower leaves OF the
plants are broken of in order to
reach the heads more easily. A
sharp short-bladed knife is used to
separate the sprouts from the stalk.
After the sprouts have been cut
from the stalk they are trimmed
and placed in suitable receptacles-
berry boxes holding one quart, the
top layer being selected for uni
formity Of size and color. The sur
plus is kept in packing houses. In
mild climates the plant may remain
in the open all winter and will pro-
duce two or even three cuttings.
Cook sprouts as you do young tender
cabbage. Do not use too much
water; do not cook too long. Serve
piping hot with a seasoning Of salt,
pepper and butter-serve cold as a
salad. Brussels sprouts may be
served with any meat.

I suspect that If he had been any
body but a snake he would have
grunted. 1t was easy enough to get
his neck through after he had got
his head through, but the thickest
part Of his body was terribly tight
squeeze. Little by little he man
aged to get through. When enough
of him was through to allow him to
lift his head and look back he gave
a little sigh of relief. You see, his
old suit had caught between those
two logs and he was pulling him
self right out Of 1t just the same
way in which you pull your hand out
Of a glove.
When he saw this he. went to
work again and pulled harder than
ever. He was afraid that that old
snit might pun loose from the logs,

Of old logs. There was room to
crawl under these. You know, Mr..
Blacksnake does not require very
much room, and here he found
plenty for his purpose. He felt sure
that no one would disturb him there,
and that was a very important mat
ter. Still more important was the
fact that two of those logs were just
far enough apart to make it q tight
squeeze for him to wriggle between
them. He smiled when he saw this.
1t was going to make it much easier
to get that old suit OF. You see, he
has no hands with which to pull 1t
of as Old Mr.. Toad pulls his suit
OF. and 20 he has to try some other
way.
He glided Ill around under and
between the logs to make sure that

narily, he does not care who sees
him, but getting rid of an old suit
for a new one is q very serious mat
ter with Mr.. Blacksnake. In the
first place he feels very uncomfort-
able while he is getting the old suit
on, and his temper, never of the
best, is very. very short then. Also
he has rather a helpless feeling.
You see, he cannot slip his suit of
easily in the way a boy can. He is
like the little girl who has a dress
with a great many hooks and eyes
where she cannot get at them easily,
and so must take considerable time,
and sometimes lose both temper and
patience.
At last he found Just the place he
was looking for. It was on the edge
Of the Green Forest, where the
hfush grew thick around . httls pile

glided this way and that way through
the brush to make sure that no one
was hiding there. At last he was
satisfied that he would not be dis
turbed, and he hurried back to the
pile of logs to begin the task of get
ting of his old suit. Now, you know
Old Mother Nature has queer ways
Of giving her children new clothes.
All this time Mr.. Blacksnake really
had his new suit on underneath the
old suit. He had to get the old suit
of, but he wouldn't have to put the
new one on because it was already
on. Old Mother Nature had at
tended to that.
He went straight to the two logs
that were 50 close together, and then

them. He pulled md b basw. and

got the thickest part Of his body
through the old suit came of easier.
A few more wriggles and pulls and
he was out of it altogether. There
it lay, turned wrong side out COM
plete, clear to the tip of his slender
tail. And the funny thing was that
instead of being black it was white.
Yes, sir, it was white, and so thin
that you could almost look through
it! But his new suit was black, oh.
so black And it was very hand
some. Right away Mr.. Blacksnake
was In a hurry to show it OF, and
he didn't even give his old suit an
other look as he rushed away.

supply of it to cover the worlds win
dows. Also it would be hard to find
large sheets Of mica to cover good
sized windows.
AS to bottles, we might use paper.
Some excellent paper milk bottles"
are on the market today, and some
persons think they will in time take
the place OF glass milk bottles. Card
board jars also have come into use,
and they do their wo.k well.
Yet some persons want very much
TO see what is inside a container.
Those persons probably will keep the
jar and bottle market alive for a
long time to come.
Happily there is little need to
worry about a lasting shortage in
glass. War is cutting down almost
every peaceful industry, but war will
not last forever.
The big reason why the world need
not worry about losing its glass is
the matter of cheapness. Glass is
made chiefly from sand, and sand is
cheap. When the sand Is heated and
melted, portions of lime and soda are
added. Some kinds of glass have
small amounts of other substances
in them.
The ancient Egyptians had glass,
but it seems they did not use it to
cover windows. They made bottles
and jars, also glass figures. Such
objects as glass fish and a glass
hippopotamus have been saved from
ancient Egyptian times. Odd Jars,
believed to have been employed to
save tears, have been found in
Egyptian tombs.
