that the sneeze is coming on.

that he straightcnS himself up

The third part is the sneeze

Better Health F.. fo %s G:id.
BY DIR. Logan Clendening

IN THINKING about treat
l. ments for colds, people-and
this includes doctors-are so apt
TO think of treatment by drugs
alone that they neglect some of
the most helpful methods that
have been developed.
I am thinking particularly Of
water treatment.
Water treatment includes hot
drinks by mouth.
1t seems simple. but probably
the actual benefit derived by
forcing a glass of hot water once
an hour Is equal TO the effect Of
aspirin.
Then there is rest in bed so
that sweating can take place,
steam baths, mustard foot baths
and any other method of warm
ing up the surface of the body.
A person with a severe cold
will almost certainly not worry
about the gasoline rationing or
the community ball.
He will be very glad to submit
10 such treatment, get into bed
and stay there until the trouble
Is over.
THE old-fashioned mustard
u foot bath is a standby and
the directions for carrying il
out should be observed 10 the

The patient should be put in

shoulders covered with a blanket
or shawl.

A heaping teaspoonful of mus
tard is dissolved in warm. not
hot, water-about half a small
pitcher full.
Allow the mustard to dissolve
In this water before increasing
the temperature; il will not
dissolve in very hot or very cold
water.
When ready, pour the mus
tard solution into the bowl be-
fore the patient puts his feet
in and then gradually add hotter
and hotter water until the basin
or bucket is filed.

about this?
Anew York Is Americas
most interesting city.
However. I will say that the
Vieux Carrie in New Orleans is
the most interesting section OF
any American city.

A-Fifteen and one-half miles
long.
The longest street in the coun-
try Is Figueroa street, Los An

Q-My name is Callahan.
Have there been many cele-
brated Galatians?
A-T'he Chicago White Sox
once had a clever outfielder
named Callahan.
And Trixie Friganza's real
name is Della O'Callahan.
That's the best I can do for
you on the Galatians.
But don't feel badly; the only

OF was Ray During, the automo-

This fact Is recorded In the

The Brighter Side

/ SAY there is only one way Of
preventing this nation from
becoming involved in war in the
future, and it is an old fashioned
and stern method that will not
meet with the approval of those
who are always dreaming of a
utopia in which violence is I'M
known.
This will never be realized
unless by some miracle the ell
ement of greed is eliminated in
humanity and you know very
we'll that Will never come to
pass.
Greed for power, greed for
money, greed for land-it is all
one, and it is responsible for
wars and for most of our evils
as well. 1t has existed from the
beginning of things and, I fear,
will exist TO the end.
Hence there is no sence in
thinking of a world in which all
men and women will be at peace
and no one will covet another's
belongings or place.
We cannot Danish greed, but
we can at least control il TO
some extent as far as nations
are concerned if one nation, the
United States of America, the
only completely unselfish nation
on the face of the earth, is so
strongly equipped as to make its
word the law everywhere.
II 1t establishes this strength

now and preserves it through all
the years TO come, never per-
hitting it TO diminish in the
slightest degree, we will have
guarantee against war involving
this nation and, up to a point,
war involving other nations if it
is a matter of aggression of the
strong against the weak. And
this is the only way the guar
antee can be arranged.
/ EXPECT to see, after the
Il war, some combination for
world policing that will include
the United States, Great Britain,
Russia and perhaps China, which
will be a good idea as long as it
stands up. but such combina-
ton could eventually fall apart
and when that happens, though
it might be years from now, the
United States should be so
powerful individually that the
dissolution will make no differ
ence in its strength.
Even under the combination
scheme. it should be the chief

ing force than all the rest Of
the world put together.
