UTLEY the love of Mike, button sOR 1 I j up that overcoat I And stay I out of draughts I And don't get your feet wet! The bey-deperiod for the common cold Is Just around the corner. For If there can be said to be one time of tlie year when more people catch cold than any other, statistics and health surveys Indicate that that period embraces the latter half of January and the first half of February. Now Is the time to think of protecting yourself against the threat of the most common affliction of mankind the common cold, which, for Its very commonness, Is also perhaps mankind's most neglected affliction. How many, many of us, asked If we were not feeling a little upset, have tossed off the question with a sniffle and reply to the effect that "Oh, It's only a little cold. It'll pass away soon 1" That Is perhaps excusable on the grounds that an ordinary cold Is not productive of terrible suffering, so long as it develops no complications. What we are probably most unwise In overlooking Is the fre quency with which such complications occur. Here Is an Illustration: How Dangerous Colds Are. We read with horror of thousands who die In flood, tornadoes, fires, gun accidents, falls, asphyxiation and the dozens of other catastrophes which are classed ns accidental. Today the entire nation Is up in arms, so to speak, In a campaign to cut down the alarming annual toll of fatal motor vehicle deaths. Yet there are In America more deaths every year from pneumonia than from nil accidental causes combined. Pneumonia almost Invariably begins with an ordinary 1 y ever-prese- Be careful about this!

These organisms may be seen tinder the microscope. While science does not believe that they themselves cause cold, It holds that they may assist on organfsra which does. Thnt such an organism does exist, but has not jet been Isolated or seen, Is Indicated in the fact, as reported by Doctor Dochez, that nasal secretions, apparently sterile, are sometimes found In cold victims, and that these secretions, transplanted to a normal ierson, will often communicate the cold. The fact that ther can be an acute Inflammation of mucous memhrnn with no In sight ft one of the baffling mysteries the common cold has presented to science, according to Doctor Docliet Organism May Burrow Deep. "If the disease In these Instances Is due to ordinary bacteria we must assume thnt the organisms are In e the early stages beneath the of the tissues," he has written That presents the possibility thnt the organism may burrow down so deep Into the tissues thnt It cannot be uncovered for examination by simply removing nasal secretions. There are two kinds of colds, the sporadic, which Is always amongst us somewhere, and the epidemic, the nature of which Is apparent from Its name. Keep Up Your Resistance, Since people who are "run down are most susceptible to colds, tlie smart thins Is to keep yourself from getting that way. Keep your body a healthy as you can. Medical authorities agree thnt If you arc to keep from catching coM. you should get a much sleep, sunshine and fresh nlr as possible. You should eat plenty of nourishing food without overeating, for overeating lowers resistance. Iress so thnt you will keep comfortably warm, without having too much clothing on In hot weather, or too little In cold. If you get wot. change clothes as soon as you can. Avoid. If possible, going from n hot room to the cold Never stay In a draft You should remember to get son e sort of exercise without overdolr: It, to breathe through your not your mouth, to keep clean st nil times, for dirty hands oftoi carry Infection, and to avoid constipation.
