If a cold has caught you unaware, keep on with aspirin until the cold is gone. Genuine aspirin can't harm you. Bayer Aspirin does not depress the heart. If your throat is sore, dissolve three tablets in a little water and gargle. You will get instant relief. There's danger in a cold that hangs on for days. To say nothing of the pain and discomfort Bayer Aspirin might have spared you!

'l'he year is certain to bring torth also new books about VVnshington ln whlcb new attempts will be made to interpret 'Vashlngton in his various roles as a soldier. as a business leader, as a statesman, as a President and as a man. In vJew of this fact, it 1s pertinent to ra.ise the question, "Considering the amount that has already been written nbout 'Vasbington, Is there anything new that can be said about him?'' orehand, the answer would probably be ..No!" Yet the fact remains that s-omethlng 'new bas been said about him and that" In a recently published biography. It is "George Washington, Republican Aristocrat," written by Bernard Fny and published by the Houghton Mlfflin ~ompany, and this book is important. not only because of the 1nterpre'tat1on of Washington as a "Repuhllcan aristocrat" but because his intttrpreter is not a fellow-countryman but a foreigner, a Frenchmnn, lherefore a mu.n whose judgmE-nts are le&a likely to be ob!'iCtlred by partisanship one way or the other.

Fay's book. Those who believe In the hand of God in the affairs or man will indorse the idea set forth in this Introduction that George \\7 ashfngton came on the stage of history at the precise moment he was most needed. It was the Eighteenth century when all looked forward with joy to the arrival nf an '"enlightened despot." "He was a gentleman. Be was rich. He wa~ n soldier. '!'here was nothing of tbe revolutionury about him. And, t'or the first time, tn more than fifteen centuries, he exemplified the type at he1·o who declined ~upreme power and wished to command only to serve. The world <lid not expect this; and It surprised the upper classes more than any other attitude \YOuld have done. And throughout the enUre world the conservati-ve classes, the mfdd~e Classes. the enllghtened nobiUty, and the people who, even though nloSt cautious, were flesirons or change, beheld the serene, gren.t mnn with an astonishment which soon turned to enthusiasm.

So it is all the more remarkable that this Virginia gentleman, this land-holding aristocrat, should engage in a struggle in behalf ot the common people in which he had rterythiog to Jose and but little to gain. It be could ha...,.,. foreseen that he would have to carry on that struggle almost single-handf'd a.nd then after it wns won that be would be reviled by those whom he had set;ved so well and for whom he had suffered so much, one wonders lf he wonld ha'""e f'n~aged In it.
