BARTON WHEN a cold in the head occurs, the first thought in the mind of many is to take a purgative and then begin to use a salt or oil solution up intp the nose. Nose, throat and lung specialists advise that this very "active" treatment of a cold is unwise and that rest in bed and leaving the nose and throat alone would give better results.

Bock in Annals of Internal Medicine. Dr. Bock tells of the care of 1,66? patients with the above infections treated at Slillm&a infirmary, Harvard university, from September, 1935, to March, 1938. The patients were students and recent graduates, age range being 17 to 25. The first thought in the treatment, whether or not the patient has a temperature, is putting the patient to bed. It is because many of these patients are tired mentally and physically that the cold attacks them. Getting off their feet and getting rested saves or preserves the body's energies, particularly the reserve power of the heart. Go Easy on Sprays. The qecond point made by Dr. Bock is that too active spraying, inhaling, gargling of medicines produces irritation of the lining of the nose, throat and sinuses and so prolongs the course of the infection. The third point is the use of quieting drugs for comfort. Laxatives are not usually prescribed. By these simple measures--rest in bed and quieting drugs--complications were prevented and the patients made good recoveries. Some suggestions and findings of Dr. Bock and his associates who treated these cases are, (a) that nose and throat infections would u less common if patients could be taught to live within their physical powers or resources, (b) while weather changes and contagion must be taken into account, tension is an important factor in bringing on attacks, (c) when attack does come, keep off the feet and don't use sprays, injections into nose, or gargles too often or too vigorously.

Naturally he was much ashamed and believed that the rest of the boys though; that he didn't wash his face properh or often enough. My own opinior at that time was that he didn't plaj baseball, football or take any exer cise and that this lack of exercist was the cause of his pimples and blackheads--because his circulatior was poor. It was a few years after ward that I learned that most cases of acne--pimples--were due to gland disturbances at the age of puberty in both boys and girls. « One of the most complete reviews of the "possible" causes of acne is given in the Medical World by Drs. Oscar L. Levin and Howard T. Behrman, New York city. They name the various causes of the past and present such as pus organisms get ting into the skin, various occupations which affect the skin by blocking the openings of the oil and sweat glands, chemicals which affect the texture of the skin causing it to lose some of its elasticity, dandruff of the scalp extending to face and shoulders, and gland disturbances occurring at and for some years after puberty. These physicians state that any of the above may cause or be a partial cause of acne but that tiie most important single cause is an improper adjustment or imbalance of the glands. Various forms of treatment art outlined which include cutting down on starches and sugars, eating more fruits and vegetables; keeping the intestine active; the use of vaccines, and the use of gland substances. Treatment of the skin itself includes use of good soap and water many times daily in very greasy skins, applying hot cloths and then removing the blackheads, opening up of pimples containing put, and X-ray treatments.

TAYLOB (Krtmsion Omirymaa at S*w Jnttj •/ Agticuhmt, Rut ft* Unirtrtity} Every day is a "lucky day" for the dairyman who is careless about, handling dairy bulls--he's lucky to be alive! It is often the "quiet" bull that suddenly turns on his caretaker. And dairy bulls which are closely confined are likely to get playful when they are handled, and Just as soon as a playful bull discovers his own strength, he becomea vicious. But there are numerous ways to insure reasonable safety. The bull stall should be construct* ed of durable material that will withstand heavy blows. Cement or extra heavy metal tubing is sstisfaclory. The fence surrounding the outside exercise paddock should also be built of extra heavy material. Discarded boiler flues that are set in cement posts are often used. As long as bulls are properly confined they have less chance of injuring human beings. From the standpoint of safety, it is a definite mistake to allow a bull to run with the dairy herd. The use of safety breeding pens further reduces the necessary handling to a minimum. A strong bull staff which is attached to a heavy metal ring in the bull's note should always be used when handling becomes necessary. A bull should be trained to a staff before one year of age. It is also wise to remove the horns at about one year of age or when the bull shows the first signs of becoming ugly. Removing the horns will often tame down a young bull for an indefinite period. From a management standpoint, it is advisable to provide a pasture exercise paddock of several acres. On larger farms where several bulls are needed, they can be turned together in pasture. Thus they will get ample exercise and will not store up a lot of energy that must find an outlet sooner or later. It is, however, a good practice to handle bulls occasionally in order to keep them accustomed to it. This should^ be done without taking any undue risk. Bulls that are never tied or handled in any way actually get afraid of a caretaker in time and may be most unruly. Always remember that any animal is usually able to sense when the caretaker is shy and timid. Train a bull so he will always understand that you mean business and that you are not afraid. . A bold front plus safety precautions will avoid unnecessary injury. Spring briags prospects of girls wearteg flowers hi their hair aad on their handkerchiefs.

Poor Year for Wheat ^ ; • Causes Premium Deficit Crop insurance last year offset heavy losses by wheat growers, particularly in four of the largest producing states where near-record abandonments occurred, according to Leroy K. Smith, manager of the Federal Crop Insurance corporation. Unusually largo abandonments in Nebraska, Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, Mr. Smith said, accounted for the greatest part of about 22,- 000,000 bushels in indemnities paid farmers throughout the country under the 1940 crop insurance program. The growers paid premiums for their protection with almost 15,- 000,000 bushels of wheat, but the corporation paid out about 7,000,000 bushels more than it took in. Mr. Smith emphasized that excessive acreage abandonments such as occurred this year will not take place every year, and that when the wheat belt experiences a year of average yields, premium colled-, tions can be expected to exceed indemnity payments.
