Serve Chicken'Soup To Fught Colds Mothers have known it for decades, maybe centuries. Now reseachers are finding that chick(en soup really can help a cold. Hot fluids loosen up clogged nasal passages and increase the movement of mucus. But chieken soup does something special. Whether that some- thing is in the aroma or taste isn't clear yet. In a study with 15 volun- teers, a medical researcher tested the effects of hot chicken soup as well as hot and cold water. Sipping bot water increased the speed of mucus moving through the nose. But chicken soup caused the mucus to move even faster than did the hot water. Drinking cold water reduced the movement; even after haif an hour the rate of mucus movement was flot back to normal levels. Hamniltons Insurance Service Susan M.

Hot water had littie ef fect; but the bot chicken soup stili made the mucus move faster. It is well known that movement of mucus is one of the body's lines of defense against dirt and infection. A sheet of mucus is one of the body's lines of defense against dirt and infection. A sheet of mucus moves con- tinuously along the linings of the nose as well as in -the air passages of the lungs. The mucus deposits dirt and germs in the throat, where they can be spit out or swallowed into the digestive system and rendered less harmful. Coughing helps clear out the passages below the throat; and sneezîng clear those above.

We want to take this opportunity to also extend our Congratulations to Lloyd and Easy Care Plants1 for Low Light Area! Houseplant collections don't have to be limited to philodendrons, begonias, and coleus. Tbere are many otber suitable plants that are equal- ly attractive and easy to grow, says Bob Fleming, Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food hortcultur- ist. "In many apartments and bornes there are a f ew loW-light, areas where many bouseplants fail," he says. "But there' are many plants that will thrive under those conditions". Tbe prayer plant or mar- anta is a good small plant for Io w-ligbt areas. t bas deep green leaves, delicately shaded with symmetrical maroon ribs. "Aithougu it bas a delicate apperance, it requires little special care," says Mr. Fleming. The most important req- uirement is tbe right location. Mr. Fleming recommends a warm, bumid, sbaded locat- ion tbat is free of drafts. Too much lîght will cause the leaves to turn yellow. This plant should also be kept moist, making it an ideal plant for the humid environ- ment of a terrarium. The creeping fig is another easy-care plant for low-light areas.
