WINTER IS KA
As predictable as Santa
Claus, but considerably less
welcome, is that other ancient
tradition, the winter cold.
Centuries of talk about it
haven't helped much to solve
the problem. Just the same it
continues to rate high on the
list of seasonal health topics
for much the same reason
that the mountain peak comi

coughs and sniffles find it
hard to understand why the
doctor can't prescribe some
antibiotic "wonder drug" and
dispose of the nuisance just
like that. The reason couldn't
be simpler: such medical marvels
are effective only against
bacteria, where as the common
cold is caused by one of
a huge assortment of viruses.
What about nose drops,
sprays, ointments, steam va
purs - uecongesiani 01 various
kinds? Many of them give
temporary relief. But the best
medical advice to the otherwise
healthy person - the ordinary
individual with no preexisting
chest condition - is
that such aids to comfort
should be used only to facilitate
breathing and rest at

night - and only on the first
night or two. (Speaking of the
best medical advice, it's what
you should seek before applying
medication of any sort).
Few doctors endorse the old
wives' motto. "Feed a cold and
starve a fever." Instead they
recommend a light diet with
ample fluids. Fruit juices are
fine, but they work no miracles.
Nothing wrong with
plain old water.
Your Christmas Seal organization,
concerned with the
age-old struggle against all
respiratory diseases from TB
to the common cold, recalls
the classic advice when sniffles
and sneezes begin: "Get

The Night
He fore Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the
house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse,
When down through the
Chimney all covered with
soot,
Came the "Spirit of Fire"?an
ugly galoot.
His eyes glowed like embers,
his features were stern,
As he looked all around for
something to burn.
What he saw made him
grumble, his anger grew
higher,
For there wasn't a thing that
would start a pood firo
o
No door had been blocked by
the big Christmas tree;
It stood in the corner leaving
passageways free.
The lights that glowed brightly
for Betty and Tim
Had been hung with precaution
so none touched a limb.
All wiring was new, not a
break could be seen.
And wet sand at its base kept
the tree nice and green.
The tree had been trimmed
bv a mother insistent
That the ornaments used be
fire resistant.
And mother had known the
things to avoid,

plain celluloid.
Rock wool, metal icicles, and
trinkets of glass
Gave life to the tree; it really
had class.
And would you believe it,
right next to the tree
Was a suitable box for holding
debris!
A place to throw wrappings
of paper and string
From all of the gifts that
Santa might bring.
The ugly galoot was so mad
he could bust,
As he climbed up the chimney
in utter disgust.
For the folks in this home had
paid close attention,
To all the rules of good "Fire
Prevention."
