WARTIME HEALTH COLUMN -
Rest In Bed Is Best
Treatment For Colds

What can one do about a cold?
It is a contagious disease and
therefore the victim should try
not to pass it on 70 others during
the highly contagious period. Of
the first three or four days after
the onset. This means that he
will prevent droplets from his own
nose and mouth reaching the respir-
atory and alimentaFy tracts Of those
about him by covering his mouth,
but not coughing carelessly. and
BY meticulously washing the hands
before preparing food.
GO 10 BED
Bed rest is the best treatment
for cold. It makes little or no
difference what else Is done. The
duration and complications will
be reduced to the minimum with
bed rest alone. Also. regardless Of
other treatment. both the duration
and complications will be increas-
ed In the absence Of bed rest. Bed
rest Is absolutely imperative dur
ing fever and for "a hours after
fever.
All other treatment Is symp-
tomatical and usually does more
harm than good. Aspirin contrib
utes more 10 ones comfort tkan
any single simple drug.
The duration Of Q cold Is usual
" TOO short for the sufferer to
be concerned with diet as q means
Of treatment. It Is customarily
advisable. however, 10 increase the
intake Of fluids. A catalartic has
no merit. and frequently merely
contributes to the general discom.
fort.
It Is almost impossible to resist
the temptation 10 do something,
and that something too often
makes matters worse It Is doing
nothing that brings the best Te-
suits 70 The pnfient with Geld.

% hours some Of the time with
o dying ensign In tow - after both
jumped. from o flaming destroyer.
Chief Boatswain's Mate Vernon
A. Suydam, 20, Of Sayville, L. J., told
how he jumped from the q 3.
destroyer Little with six compaIa-
ions after salvoe from Q Japanese
cruiser had set fire to the ship
about I q. m. last September 5.
Our vessel was q mass Of flames
from the gunfire. It was xigsaggtng
all over the place because the throt-
tie had damned and was still vide
open. It was only three or four
minutes after the ilrst torpedo hit
the ship that we found ourselves
In the water supported only BY life
jackets. We must have been about
Is miles off Guaralcanal.
"All Of a sudden a Jap cruiser
reversed Its course and started CON-
ing at use - we thought TO run Us
down. When Il was about 30 yards
away the vessel began splitting bull
lets as the crew opened tire with
machine guns. When the firing
was over, four Of my companions
were dead.
"Only q naval ensign and lieu
tenant and myself were left.
The lieutenant struck out Tor
himself and never saw him again,
saw the ensign was tagging behind
so I took him In tow, carrying him
with q liresaver's grip. II was sew.
eral hours before ] realized he Yves
dead and released him."
Suydaln said he was within Q
mile Of shore when he passed out.
When he regained consciousness,
he discovered he had drifted several
miles out to sea. It wasn't until late
that night that he reached shore on
the northwest tip Of Guadalcanal--
more than Is hours after he jumped
from the Little.
He lay on the beach until dawn
and then began trudging through
the jungle. Although he was IN
enemy territory, Suydam said he
saw no sign Of the Japanese. Late
that night, after walking all day.
he reached the west line Of the
main defenses on the island.
After q day and Q half In Q
field hospital, SuydaM was flown by
plane to an undisclosed American
hospital In the Pacific where he
spent q month recuperating from

in frantic attempt to lay in a few
days supply. In Columbus, Ohio,
however, where meat buying Satur-
Gay was equally heavy, ample sup
plies were reported as new ship
ments arrived and as dealers brought
out stocks they deliberately had
withheld from the market last week.
Scarcely any meat was available
IN Philadelphia this morning. but
the arrival of 100000 pounds during
the day and the promise of an
emergency allotment of 350,OOO ad-
ditional pounds brought hope that
the city would manage during the
first days of rationing.:
About 80 per cent of Chicago's
shops were out of practically all
kinds of meat, but shipments we're
expected later in the day. Detroit
supplies were expected to be re-
plenished by Thursday.
Many meat markets in Louisville
KY, remained closed today because
they had nothing to sell. In Gin
cinnati. Ohio, many shops kept their
clerks on hand, despite the dearth of
meat, to explain rationing pro-
cedure to their customers.
