The Common Cold

The common cold is just that
common to almost everyone in the
country. Few people are able to
evoid at least one bout with the
highly infectious 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, es-
recially before touching food.
Build up resistance to infection by
eating well-balanced diet, avoid
ing sweets and rich pastries, ex-
cept as dessert, keeping feet dry,
dressing comfortably according to
the weather and geeting plenty of
rest and sleep.
If all these precautions fail, as
occasionally they will, go home,
take a hot bath and go to bed.
Stay there until the cold is cured,
if possible. Prompt and sensible
action may mean the difference
is on the Burton place. They found

race of two hours which ended in
a kill. Huntsman Aitcheson was
very much pleased with the work
Of his hounds on that afternoon.
between a five-day cold and one
which may hang on all winter,
bringing serious complications in
its wake.
Unless properly cared for, a
cold may lead to infection of the
nasal sinuses, ears, larynx, bron-
chial tubes, lungs and sometimes
the eyes. Such secondary inflam-
nations may result in pneumonia,
tonsillitis, disease of the ear lead
ing to impaired hearing or other
serious disorders A large percent
age of deafness in children is the
direct result of chronic colds. Re-
moval of adenoids often result in
children's colds becoming less fire.
queDt and severe.
In some cases, secondary infec-
tiOns can be prevented by use Of
the sulpha drugs or penicillin.
However, self-dosing with these
substances is unwisc and may even
be dangerous. Small doses give
false sense of security and some
times produce drug fastness," so
that later infections cannot be CON
trolled by the drug. They should
be used only as prescribed by a
physician, when the patient with
a cold is acutely i'll.
1t is also important to remember
that early symptoms of some COM
municable diseases are 50 like the
common cold that they are often
disregarded until the disease has
made considerable progress. Valu-
able time is wasted on home rem
edies which do no good.

Few women have ever come up
to my ideas of the personification
of the word "chic"-not pro-
nounced the horrible "chick" one
hears so often, bat in the French
manner. To me chic is the word
that best describes the Duchess
of Windsof-certainly no princess
born of royal blood could better
look the part. Members of the
erican Newspaperwomen's
Club and their guests, who met
the Duke and his American wife
at a reception given by the club
Friday afternoon at the May
flower, found them both most at
tractive. Both have an air of
simplicity and sincerity that is
winning. They impress one as
distinctive and notwithstanding
neither reminded me of anyone
else whom 1 had ever met. ra

paper! How nice!" said the
Duchess" interestin'" echoed the
Duke, as Margaret Hart Candy,
president of the club introduced
me as "our country editor, Mrs.
Haines." And then instead of
asking questions, as all good
newspaper people dol found my
self being interviewed briefly by
them! Especially interested were
they that so many of the Duchess
kinfolks, the Warfield, are known
to me. Before | had time to pose
my question of "any superstitions
about Friday the thirteenth? the
line grew SO long that l had to
pass on. Later managed to have
4 few more words with them and
both assured me they were mot
one bit superstitious," the Duchess
adding that for her 13 is a lucky
number.
as 'Wally' pretty?" as the
Duke as old looking as his
pictures?" These are a sample of
the questions l have been asked
since the party. The Duchess can
not be called "pretty"-but she
has poise, personality and pulch-
ritude "Svelt" best describes her
figure--I never dreamed she is so
small. The Duke moves like a
young man-at a distance he APP
pears youthful but he has face
so lined-not exactly wrinkled-that
he LOOKS even older than he is
pictured. His manner is that of
any well bred American man,
nothing Continental at alas are
many of the attaches we encounter
in Washington. There is quiet
air of happiness about them both
that liked.
Great Britain's coat of arms
hung on high mirror back of the
slightly elevated place where the
Duke and Duchess stood with Mrs.
Candy to meet the guests. Look
ing lovelier than | had ever seen
her, Margaret, who knew a great
many of those present and was
thus able to throw the guests of
honor cue-frst presented one
to ellis Royal Highness" and then
to his Duchess.
How were they dressed? Well,
the only thing 1 remember about
the Dukes clothes was dark suit
with a handkerchief carelessly
placed in the breast pocket of the
coat and a rather loud checked tie.
The Duchess wore slim,
straight black frock that had
Paris written all over it.

McPeek Says Children
Must Be Basis Of Peace

The peace of the world and the
peace of the community must be
organized about the interests OF
children, the Rev. Francis w. Nc
Peek, director Of the Department
of Social Welfare of the Washing
ton Federation of Churches, said
last night. .'4
sMcPeek, who will leave jan
uary is to join. the social action
staff of the Congregational Chris
tian Churches OF America, with
offices in New York, spoke on the
Americans All program over sta
tion WWDC.
IF we try to settle things on the
basis of our politics, our ideologies,
our economics, Our prejudices or on
any other basis than the interests
of our children, we are surely de-
Gliding for community and world
warfare he said.
"The fact of the birth of Christ
poses one question to which every
adult must face up honestly, What
is the wisest and best thing we can
do to protect and to help the little
ones Of our own day?'"
No truly educated or cultured
man, Mr.. McPeek said, "can have
in his heart prejudice against any
child. For a Christian it is impos-
sible."
The radio program was the seth
in a series sponsored by the Insti-
tute on Race Relations.

Communists Attacking
Peiping Coal Mines
By the Associated Pres.

PEIPING, Dec. %. = Communist
guerrillas were reported in the Of
fetal government newspaper Chin
Shih Jih Pao today to be attacking
the Mentoukou coal mines, is miles
west of Peiping, main source Of
coal for this ancient capital.
Government troops succeeded at
the same time in halting a Com
munist offensive against the i'm
portant Peiping- -Tientsin railroad,
but the threat of guerrilla attacks
remained.
Communists were reported en-
trenched only IL miles southeast Of
Peiping, with some massed about
IS miles to the southwest. Govern
ment reports said 1000 Communists
from Central Hopei Province had
been brought up to bolster units
southeast of this great walled city.
Inland, Communists were said to
be converging from four sides on
Taiyuan, capital of Shansi Prov
ince, and attacking strongpoints
around Paoting, capital of Hopei.
