down so to speak. Good physical
health and proper body resistance
may be greatly enhanced by a sy-
stematic examination Of the human
body. Mechanical machinery is not
operated year after year without
frequent examination and care,
otherwise it would mean early re-
placement Of the machinery. I be-
lieve in all fairness to ourselves,
since we can not perform a salts
factory replacement act with the
human body, it is our moral and re-
ligious duty to have our family
physician give US a thorough ex-
animation at such intervals as he
may see fit to advise.
I believe the cheapest medical
service throughout a life time is
enjoyed by those people who de-
pend on regular physical examina-
tions by their family physician.
believe from the point of health Sc
curity and mental satisfaction, it
will be the greatest investment we
can make in ourselves.

The Common Cold
CONTINUED from page q

Continued from page q
perature changes; mechanical de-
fects in breathing, or, the filtering
power of the air passages. To this
list of predisposing causes may we
add such pathological conditions
as, adenoids, polcpi, enlarged dis
eased tonsils, a deviated septum,
and chronic catarrhal condition,
any of which should receive
prompt and appropriate treat
ment.
The germs accompanying a cold
are frequently found in the nose,
mouth and teeth of the healthy
person, just awaiting the time
when body resistance is lowered
enough so they can begin pushing
you around, therefore cleanliness
and care of those parts are of pri-
mary consideration in preventing
not only the common cold, but the
complications which are often as
sociated with a cold.
The prevention of a cold con-
sists first of avoiding a person that
has a fresh cold if possible to do
so. Guard against the predisposing
causes. A person with a beginning
cold should go to bed for a period
of three days, this will help avoid
complicating diseases and recovery
will be much more rapid, and too,
after that period Of time the cold
will be less infectious. We should
if possible, avoid contact with per-
sons that have a cold, especially in
trains, buses. offices and all other
poorly ventilated places where the
chance is almost certain that some
one will sneeze or cough directly
in your face or within a few feet
of you. Learn good sanitary habits,
biologic cleanliness, and cultivate
proper eating habits. Do not over
work, get sufficient rest and sleep,
sufficient outdoor exercise Guard
against chilling, wear clothes suit
able to weather conditions, live,
work, and sleep in properly ventil
ated and properly heated rooms.
Always cover the nose and mouth
; before coughing or sneezing, re-
frain from kissing if we or they
have a cold, always wash your
hands with warm water and soap
before eating, before handling
food or eating utensils. Wash dish
es and other eating utensils in hot
soapy water, then scald with boil
ing water and allow them to drain
dry. Avoid the use in common of
any thing which comes in contact
with the nose or lips, such as, toll
ct articles, towels, handkerchiefs,
drinking cups or glasses, a pipe, a
cigarette, toys or other objects that
may be contaminated in that man
ner.
1t is quite possible if we should
put into practice what we now
know about the common cold and
it's prevention, the number Of
colds in the future would be fa1
less than has been experienced ir
the past, and we could expect thu
severity of the cold to diminish.
I have previously mentioned th'
value of good physical health as 1
preventive in both pneumonia ant
the common cold. Nothing is NOR
inviting to germs, whether they b.
the kind that causes the common
cold, pneumonia, tuberculosis, o
any other infectious disease, thai

there hasn't been lot of politics In

Happy thought--an oldtimer told
us that there is always thaw every

Keeping pace with the higher cost
of living-it'll cost more to send
valentines this year, too. You know,
those sweet nothings you used to
mail unsealed, for Ii cent and a half
well, it'll cost you two cents for
all ordinary valentines and three
cents if they are unusually large or
small or contain bulky enclosures.
And that's not aIl-if the valentine
contains written message it will
be three cents, even tho the envelope
is not sealed. Looks like romance
