The Common Cold (Continued from page 2) jerature changes; mechanical de fects in breathing, or, the filtering jower of the air passages. To this ist of predisposing causes may we idd such pathological conditions is, adenoids, pok.pi, enlarged dis iased tonsils, a deviated septum, md chronic catarrhal condition, my of which should receive jrompt and appropriate treat nent. The germs accompanying a cold ire frequently found in the nose, nouth and teeth of the healthy person, just awaiting the time vhen body resistance is lowered ;nough so they can begin pushing rou around, therefore cleanliness md care of those parts are of pri mary consideration in preventing iot only the common cold, but the omplications which are often as ociated with a cold. The prevention of a cold con ists first of avoiding a person that las a fresh cold if possible to do o. Guard against the predisposing auses. A person with a beginning old should go to bed for a period if three days, this will help avoid omplicating diseases and recovery ml be much more rapid, and too, .fter that period of time the cold rill be less infectious. We should f possible, avoid contact with per ons that have a cold, especially in rains, buses, offices and all other >oorly ventilated places where the hance is almost certain that some >ne will sneeze or cough directly n your face or within a few feet if you. Learn good sanitary habits, >iologic cleanliness, and cultivate >roper eating habits. Do not over work, get sufficient rest and sleep, lufficient outdoor exercise. Guard igainst chilling, wear clothes suit ible to weather conditions, live, vork, and sleep in properly ventil ited and properly heated rooms. \lways cover the nose and mouth nefore coughing or sneezing, re train from kissing if we or they lave a cold, always wash your lands with warm water and soap before eating, before handling Food or eating utensils. Wash dish es and other eating utensils in hot 5oapy 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, toil et articles, towels, handkerchiefs, drinking cups or glasses, a pipe, a cigarette, toys or other objects that may be contaminated in that man ner. It is quite possible if we should put into practice what we now know about the common cold and it's prevention, the number oi colds in the future would be fai less than has been experienced ir the past, and we could expect the severity of the cold to diminish. I ^iave previously mentioned th( value of good physical health as s preventive in both pneumonia anc the common cold. Nothing is mor< inviting to germs, whether they b< the kind that causes the commoi cold, pneumonia, tuberculosis, o any other infectious disease, thai poor body resistance, a person rui down so to 3peak. 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 satis factory replacement act with the human body, it is our moral and re ligious duty bo have our family physician give us a thorough ex amination 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. I believe from the point of health se curity and mental satisfaction, it will be th* greatest investment we can make in ourselves. HIGH DEATH TOLL Unless a new incentive for safer driving and walking is found, "the nation can reconcile itself to an annual traffic death toll of around 32,000", the National Safety Coun cil states. Traffic deaths for the first nine months of 1949 are a bout on a pajr with the same 1948 period. 22,320 as compared with 22,750 in 1948. (I Since the National Tuberculosis Association was organized in 1904, the death rate from tuberculosis has been forced down 85 per cent, but the disease still kills nearly 50,000 Americans a year. Wisconsin has 3,474 lakes over 10 acres in area and 4,542 lesser lakes — a total of 8,28'J lakes. EXECUTRIX' NOTICE Having qualified as Executrix of the Estate of Archie H.
