The most universal symptoms caused by cold are watering of the eyes and nose and the chapping of the lips from exposure to the cold watery secretions. The chapping of the hands is due to a combination of cold, tight gloves and the natural moisture of the skin. Many have also had experience with "frost-bite" or "freezing" of the ears, nose or cheeks, fingers or toes. They know that the part so affected often remains more sensitive to cold; perhaps because the nerves regulating the blood supply were destroyed; perhaps because they were rendered over-sensitive to cold. Some people are sensitive or allergic to cold just as others are to pollens or foods. These people may develop asthma so distressing that they must remain in doors in cold weather or else move to a warm and Mildred Munshaw of Elgin visited Jennie Bacon Sunday.

Perhaps, too, her enthusiasm may have overshadowed her judgment. After all, we must remember that the President's wife is a human being with her share of faults, virtues, weaknesses and capabilities with which all of us are more or less endowed. Ths writer has never questioned her honesty, sincerity or loyalty. She has many traits of character that one cannot but admire. Without doubt if she had so desired, she could have restricted her activities to those of a dignified hostess of the White House, presiding at its social functions and not interesting herself in the affairs pf state. Such, however was not her nature. Whether wisely or unwisely, she was not content with the role of a social figurehead. Sne is a bundle of energy and her impulses have driven her on and on perhaps to her own detriment. That she has accomplished a great deal of good cannot be successfully denied. That she has played favorites must be admitted; but who among us haven't? Insinuations and reflections, however, on her integrity, sincerity and patriotism are uncalled for, unfair and unjust. Military Objectives Sometimes one wonders how our military experts pick certain locations terytfiiich some believe might eventu-f ally result in very great censure by? the American people when the facts come out. But it must be kept in mind, of course, that there are usually: two sides to every story. The mystery in question is as to who is holding up the Alaska defense highway across Canada? For a long time -- many months in fact--the project has had the nominal approval of the President, the Army, the Joint U. S. Canadian Commission, the U. S. Department of the Interior, the Governor of Alaska, and the Alaskan delegate ia the Congress. But so far nothing has happened. A Congressional committee has been told by a General Staff officer that the project is O.K. and should be pushed as rapidly as possible. The committee later heard that the President already has the power to start the work--so the committee had to suspend hearings and leave the' matter in the hands of the President.' Alaska is nearer to Japan than is Pearl Harbor. It is by far the weakest link, it is said, in our entire Pacific defense chain. Alaskan Delegate Dimond is warning that "another Pearl Harbor" may occur in Alaska. Governor Gruening 3aw the President this week about the project, but thus far nothing new is reported "Pmnji Umm GooJDtftmP Frederick Vasey of Hainesville )viU sometimes bring from $50 to pi spent a few days the past week with William Hook.

The price is as high as $500 per thousand feet for the best wood, the highest price of any wood grown on the farm. In the walnut-producing states, farmers have sold as much as $2,500,000 in walnut logs annually. Furniture manufacturers buy the greatest part of the wood but the more inferior grades bring good prices for gun stocks, automobile steering wheels, airplane propellers and musical instruments. In its wnpainted state, the wood is one 6f the most beautiful and has lasting beauty when finished. It is very durable and does not check or warp. Much of the fine old heirloom furniture is made of solid walnut. Modern pieces are now often made pf veneer which is young walnut sapwood steamed to produce the effect of better class wood.

Others develop hives on exposure to cold. Some develop a type of eczema with severe itching in cold weather. Reaction to COM. The smaller arteries (Arterioles) of some individuals develop spasms on exposure to cold water or air. The spasms may completely cut off the circulation in a limited area; and cause blueness and then pallor and very severe pain. If these arteriolar spasms last long enough they may cause gangrene, that is death of the tissue nourished by these blood vessels. There is another group in which there is also an arteriolar spasm, but in which the skin first becomes red; then as it gets colder, blue; and when still colder, gets red again. It too causes severe pain. These types of reaction to cold usually develop during early adult life or even during the teens and are more common in women. There are a few people who have a disease of the blood vessels, both arteries and veins, in which many of the smaller vessels become obstructed by clots. They react badly to cold and develop pain, blueness and pallor of an extremity even Before the temperature reaches freezing. Hardening of Arteries. As people grow older they almost always develop more or less arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) even with normal blood pressures. However, those who have diabetes or high blood pressure usually have more of it than do others of the same age. Cold m?y cause such diseased arteries of the extremeties and of the heart to develop spasms that may completely cut off the circulation for a long enough time to cause gangrene. The names by which the diseases caused by cold are known, have purposely not been given because they are difficult to pronounce or remember when they are descriptive and would mean tittle when they are designated by the name of the physician who first described them. Their cause is unknown, and, until it is, little can be done to prevent or to effectively treat them. Yet by avoiding exertion or exposure to cold and rapid changes in temperature, by wearing plenty of warm and properly fitting woolen clothing, those who have even the more severe forms of these diseases can learn to live comfortably in spite of them.
