The Expensive Common Co Id The common cold. I If you are reading this in January, chances are 50-50 that you will get one before March. U.S. Public Health Service studies show that during the winter of 1978-79, about 50 percent of the population will suffer a common cold. The common cold is the most expensive single illness in the U.S. More time is lost from work and school because of the common cold than from all other diseases combined. Among our 60 million in­ dustrial employees, the common cold accounts for nearly 1 million person-years lost from work annually. That's about one-half of fall the ab­ sences and one-fourth of the total work time lost each year in industry. Paradoxically, while so many have to put up with the discomforts of a cold, there is very little we can do about it except ride it out as best as possible. So while nursing that stuffy nose, sore throat and the ' general winter cold miseries, here is some information about what your discomfort is all about and what you can do to at least make things a bit more comfortable. But first some good news. In an otherwise healthy in­ dividual, a virus-induced common cold is self-limiting in five to seven days -- although complications do occasionally develop. (When that happens, it is always wisest to see a physician.) The common cold goes through a cycle that usually begins with a one-to-four day incubation period for cold viruses. For most people, the first sign of a cold is a clear watery discharge from the nose. This becomes thicker and more tenacious as the cold progresses. Nasal congestion follows, giving rise to discomfort. Sneezing results from nasal irritation, nasal discharge and nasal congestion. Irritation of the pharynx caused by dryness and swelling may produce a "tickling" which can cause a non-productive cough. Cough is also produced by throat irritation and post-nasal drip. Progressive stages of a common cold may include bronchial congestion and productive coughing necessary to eliminate the congested phlegm from the respiratory tract. Headache may occur. and this can be attributed, in part, to infection and in­ flammation of the nasal passages and sinuses. To get some relief from the common cold, the public spends 500 million dollars a year. While there is no cure for the common cold (children, by the way, get more colds than adults), the search for relief is never ending. When the body is locked in combat with the common cold, it's a good idea to throw in some support. One way is to get as much rest, as possible. Very important . too. are the intake of adequate fluids to prevent dehydration, and keeping a well-balanced diet. While the need forphysician- directed treatment is usually unnecessary with the common cold, there are exceptions. Consult a physician if there is some concern that you have something other than a. cold; also, if the symptoms are severe, or secondary com ­ plications are present - or suspected. A physician should be con­ sulted where the patient suffers severe weakness, or has chronic disorders in which a respiratory infection may pose serious problems, such as emphysema. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, they say, and the common cold is no exception. Colds are spread by person-to-person contact, and only decreased association with persons with colds will reduce the chances of ibntracting the cold. So one of the basic rules about cold prevention is to wash hands frequently and to keep them away from the eyes, nose and mouth. When a family member has a cold, use paper plates and cups, a§ hand washing may not remove viruses from eating utensils. Eat well, get enough sleep and plenty of exercise. Anything that keeps you in good physical condition will help maintain resistance to infection -- and that includes dressing warmly in cold weather. Avoid crowds. Use a humidifier or vaporizer Dry winter air tends to dehydrate the bronchial .. mucous membranes and damage the hairlike cilia that helps trap dust and bacteria in the nOse and throat If none of the above has given the required "ounce of prevention." there is another lime-worn adage for you to heed: Patience is its own reward In a few days, should be as*good as new Letters to the Editor Public Pulse (Th« Ploind«al*r invito* th« public to ut* tfcl» »hi« column at an •sprattion of H»lr viowt on iuk|*cti of gonoral intorott In our community.

Plan Winter Retreat LIFTING THE SPIRIT "Dear Editor: "I want to express my pleasure in reading the beautiful letter you published in your Wednesday, Jan. 3 edition. "It was printed on the front page, "A Reason For Hope In The New Year" --not in a corner of the paper. "It certainly lifts one's spirit, and I know there is a lot of good being done in this world which we do not hear about. Crime seems to be the headlines these days. "It must be a lovely family to write such a beautiful letter. "Yours truly, "Gertrude Schwitz" Avoid Double Tax In Outright Bequests PAGE 9 PLAINDEALER- FRIDAY. JANUARY 12. 1979 time for discussion groups, challenging audio-visual materials, and good Christain fellowship. Plenty of time is reserved during the weekend for recreation including tobagganing, ice skating, ice fishing, hockey and a variety of indoor games. Each student attending the outing wilfr^receive aA half scholarship from the Luther league treasury. Registrations are currently being received at the church for the event and students are encouraged to register early The sponsors for the youth group include William and Reggie Erickson, Paul and Shirley Gilbert. Denise Boyd Rosemary Schneider. / and Parish Worker Kristin Stuhr you Education Offices To Close King's Birthday The Illinois Education association will close all nineteen of its statewide offices Jan. 15 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, according to an announcement by IE A President Mel Smith. "We are closing our offices as a demonstration of our respect for Dr. King and the ideals he stood for,' stated Smith. "It is our belief that Dr. King's birth­ day should be observed as a national holiday and given the same honor as Washington's birthday." The IE A, according to Smith, will be urging its local affiliates to bargain Dr. King's birthday into their school calendars. "We need to place Dr. King's ideals of fair and equal treatment for all people before our children as a model to copy," declared Smith. "Elevating Dr. King's bir­ thday to full holiday status will help to achieve that end,' he continued. Martin Luther King Jr.V^ birthday is a declared national holiday, but is actually ob­ served in only 14 states, 14 major cities, and in a few smaller cities and towns. Outright bequests to a sur­ viving spouse that exceed the maximum marital deduction may be taxed twice, warns A1 Bock. University of Illinois Extension agricultural law specialist. Under current law. the maximum deduction is the greater of $250,000 <>r one-half the adjusted gross estate of the decedent Bequests to a spouse which exceed the maximum marital deduction will be a part of the taxable estate of the first spouse and will also be included in the gross estate of the second spouse Thus such bequests can create a double tax problem. The problem could be eliminated through proper use of a life estate for some of decedent's property or a life income interest in a trust with the remainder interest in the children, adds Bock. The life estate or life income interest allows the income from property to be surviving spouse income prod not subject t the paid to the owever. the property is estate tax at Pictured, standing is, parish worker, Kristine Stuhr, with church secretary, Joy Dass, putting out a mailing to inform the youth at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, of a winter retreat. the second spouse ise the estate tax law does ipply to such a life income rest, concludes Bock.
