People whose work requires them to do a great deal of walking have the smallest number ot colds and their colds are less severe. Increases in the number and severity of colds follow sudden drops in temperature. These newly discovered facts coo cerning the common cold are re vealed by a 1945 analysis of work ers' colds in several large indus trial plants, reported by the 1944 En cyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year. The industrial study disclosed that fewer colds are found in air-condi tioned plants while the number is highest in drafty places. The anal ysis showed that December was the worst month for colds with Oc tober in second place. The small est number of colds occurred in July. Other facts brought out in the industrial plant survey indicate that with increasing age the tendency is toward fewer colds, but more severe ones. Another group of ex periments, using 1,800 girls of col lege age as subjects, disclosed that periods of falling temperature along with heavy rains show a sharp in crease in the number of new colds per day. Mastitis Costly Mastitis causes millions of dollars loss to dairymen in loss of milk, low quality milk, and permanent loss of some cows. Sanitation and correct milking methods are essen tial. Injuries to the udder that fa vor development of mastitis bac teria such as chilling of udder by allowing cows to sleep on cold wet ground, barbed wire cuts and snags, stepping on udders and improper use of milking machines must be avoided. Quick thorough milking re duces mastitis. Housing and muta tion are all important factors in dis ease control. Fat Flavor To keep its good flavor and pre vent rancidity, fat should be kept cold, covered and dark Heat espe cially. but also air and light, hasten the chemical change that causes fat to become rancid and inedible. Kept near the stove?the hottest place in the kitchen?and open to ai{ and light, and also to dust and even insects, fat soon becomes un fit to eat. The jar or can in which leftover fat and drippings are saved should be given a permanent loca tion in the refrigerator and should always be co.-ered. Uncle Sam Say> "j j Hew U| in r?k - - f *?
