is still without an effective weapon
of attack against the common cold.
No less an authority than the 9mer-
lean Medical association makes
that statement.
In its journal, the association
c%ontended that patent = medicine
makers don't know the answer. Nor
do those folks who are always so
ready to ply the cold sufferer with
advice.
Apparently you just can't cur it
at all. 1t simply runs its course and
all the individual can do is make
the best of a bad situation.
The journals consultant says in
his article. however. that it's a
pretty safe bet the best way to
ease a common cold attack is to
go to bed and rest there.
There are a few ways, he said,
to ease cold symptoms temporarily.
And it seems well established, the
article said. that an oncoming cold
can sometimes be aborted by
reasonable doses of alcohol. It
was explained this is because it
"causes peripheral vasodilation and
reestablishes circulation in chilled
cutaneous and mucosai surfaces"
In other words, it brings a rush
Of blood into cold skin or nos
lining.
So, when a doctor does something
for your cold, he just eases the
acute symptoms such as headache
with Aspirin, and burning sensa-
tons in the nose or throat (by
moisture with steam inhalations,
or common table-salt solution
syringing.)
But the sane and effective
measure" is to stay warm and
relaxed in bed, especially if fever
is present. 1t "diminishes the Sc
verify of the common cold, limits
its spread to others, and reduces
the frequency of complications"
Nose drops? Gargles? Volatile ,
inhalers? Diet? Water-drinking?
Salves, the journal says. their bene-
fits generally exaggerated in con
versation and advertising.

money to pay federal taxes on
the gifts.
Explained Mrs. Cohen:

had to pay storage on all those
things. I had to pay the lawyer
who was handling everything

She kept a new car. television
set, an cupboard motor and boat.
From the rest she expected to

BOzeman and Belgrade Games
Last weeks road trip for the
Laurel Locomotives was merely a
2 game entry for the loss column.
Laurel's jinx over Bozeman was
broken, as the locals were downed
81 to "a by a fast Bozeman team
which is in class A basketball.
The next night the road series was
continued on the Belgrade court,
where Laurel also bowed SIS to 80,
before an all-junior squad on be-
half of Belgrade.
In the series Laurel just simply
couldn't get opportunities to shoot
as the opposing teams height
spelled the difference. However,
the team had a fairly high per-
centage of shots made. The only
thing that kept Laurel in the
game was its free throw accuracy.
The teams individual defensive
play was very ragged.

Magazine Would
Rip Jazz Out
0fWord USAGE

MILWAUKEE, WIS.-The word
Jazz" long an honored word in
a wide circle of Americans, a word
which became a synonym for an
era in American manners and
mores, will disappear from the
language if a magazine called
D%ownbeat has its way.
A horrid word to certain refined
ears, the word "jazz" may be
stricken from the language, root
and branch and, likewise, root and
loot.
The magazine hereinbefore re-
ferred to has announced a prize of
81, 1000 for the best word TO replace
jazz" The second prize will be a
full nights free service Of the
Charlie Barnet band, and third will
be the same privilege with the
King Cole trio.
Some Suggestions
A FACILITATING jazzman might
imagine some Of the delightful sug-
gestions that are showing down on
the editors of Downbeat. What
would they say to such examples
as ''jumpmusic," or "hotarmony"
or 'ticklear," or ''%syncotune," or
~''dizzart," or "'bopera?" Perhaps
any of these might add something
worthwhile to our vocabulary.
II is almost as difficult to find
where Jazz" came from as to
figure where, if anywhere, it is
going. For one thing, Jazz" is
Creole for hurry up" Another
suggestion is that Jazz" is an old
African term for sing and jump,
and "Jazzbo" Brown used to give
out with a spirited brand of music
that had the customers clamoring
for ''Jazzbo," and Jazz"
Charlie CChaz) Washington, a
Vicksburg drummer, had the same
ex%hilarating effect upon his audi
ences.
laser" is a French word for
Chatter" or gossip"
But however jazz came into the
language, some so or 60 years ago,
it certainly has held on. When Paul
Whiteman was the king of the craft
he called his book Jazz" and the
fanciful French fancier of the art,
Hughes Panassie, issues learned
tones on lie jazz hot"
No Easy Chore
The scholars of Downbeat will
discover that it is no easy chore to
toss out a popular locution. They
will dutifully award their prizes for
Jazz replacement and will be morti-
fled to hear the irreverent usage of
The word 'jazz" from then on in
definitely, just the same.
When the prohibition era ended,
Tor example, laws were passed to
pan the use of the word Saloon" 1t
vas felt that tavern" had a more
wholesome, ethical sound. But there
ire the unregenerate souls who still
ak about going over to the corner
ialoon." Actors and entertainers in
he cabaret circuits speak of them
elves as working in the saloons"
The eminent Billy Rose describes
himself as being in the saloon bust
less and night club chronicles call
themselves saloon editors" War
ants are expected for all of them
There are elements of the
'rewing industry that find the word
bartender" distasteful. They have
uggested that term retail sales
be substituted, and some of
he men at the spigot prefer to be
allied 'purveyors" but the irrever-
Mt customers seem to think that all
UGH ideas are merely jests-good

Dakotas and Nebraska didn't like
Brannan's proposed program for
farmers. Dairymen of Wisconsin
and Minnesota wanted nothing to
do with it. Corn and hog farmers
of Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, and Missouri
thought the proposal the most
dangerous threat ever to come to
agriculture. Wheat farmers of
Kansas didn't like it either and
Michigan farmers said it wouldn't
work for them. Indiana farmers
several weeks ago had decided that
the proposed farm program was too
radical and would make farmers
too dependent upon the Govern
ment."

telling what his organization thinks
is wrong with the Brannan plan.
Here are some of Mr.. Kline's
remarks before the Committee:
"Under the Brannan proposal, the
farmers only hope for a fair in
come would depend on Government
handouts from annual appropria-
tions by Congress. We maintain
that is is unreasonable to stake the
welfare of agriculture upon such a
hazardous possibility :"
Kline Slams Brannan Plan
"The cost of the program would
be staggering +"
"Here is the basis for real regi-
mentation. Furthermore, there is
no good reason why the Govern
ment should pay part of the grocery
bill of every citizen -"
"The plan + would actually
result in low farm prices and high
food costs when the inevitable and
excessive tax costs are included
+ +"
"The proposal would place a cell
ing on opportunity in agriculture.
This, in turn, would result in
penalizing efficiency ="
"The proposal would re-
suit in Government supervised and
stabilized agricultural proverty
+ y"
"The unusual procedure en-
ployed in creating this plan and
presenting it to the public and has
had the effect of throwing the farm
problem into the partisan political
arena, situation which we de-
plore and condemn
"In the future, as in the past,
sound farm legislation will depend
on the best efforts of both political
parties y"
Urged Passage of COP Plan
Mr.. Kline then proceeded to urge
adoption of the improved 1948 farm
program enacted by the 80th Re-
publican Congress.
That wasn't all that happened,
either.

The reflector parts are made of

of the headstall and in crescent
shape over the back of the cantle.
