The Common Cold

The common cold is just that
common to almost everyone in the
country. Few people are able to avoid
at least one bout with the highly in
tectious virus in the course Of year.
In itself, the cold is an uncomfortable
disease, but its worst feature is the
crop of complications that may come
as aftermath. 1t is for this reason
that colds should not be ignored or
regarded as a minor nuisance.
The best way to avoid cold germs
is to keep away from people who have
them. Stay out Of crowds, if at all
possible. Wash the hands frequently
and thoroughly, especially before
touching food. Build up resistance to
infection by eating a well-balanced

many places, sawdust has been used
to enrich the soil for many years The
reasoning behind using sawdust is
the increasing Of the organic matter
in the soil-The same reasoning be-
hind using manure, cover crops
turned under, blowing under straw,
grasses and any crop residues.
In the case of the sawdust, since it
is more complex in nature, danger
exists in using it raw on the land. 1t

Winters, who have used sawdust a lot
in the past, tell US the best way to
use sawdust is for bedding, 50 that
it will mix with the manure. When
mixed with manure it is not as sour
on the land, also, it starts rotting
right away, so that it is useful to the
crops right away. Besides being valu-
able for its own benefits, sawdust
used as bedding will soak up the
liquids in the manure and save them
too.
Remember, sawdust is a good thing
for the land 1t is best if it is used as
bedding and spread with the manure.

anxious to sec her dressmaker than
her publishers.
By an odd chance the great
artist who had created her mar.

than my funny little neighbor, Mr..

as Polly" And her delight when
she learned that he lived in the
