In fact, it was only in recent yes^rg that the cause of the common cold, namely a filterable virus, was suspected. The condition takes its name from the f»ct that no one seems to be immune from it. On the average, a person is estimated to have at least two colds a year. Since the average duration of & cold is abput five days, one can estimate the economic factors in loss of time at work, reduced efficiency and accompanying debility. Until the specific virus is determined, a specific cure or preventative cannot be established While some of the newer antibiotic and antihistamine drugs have alleviated or abated the symptoms of the common cold, they are not completely effective Once the medication is withdrawn, the cold sometimes reappears. Because the ctimmon cold manifests itself differently, researchers are inclined to suspect there are many types of colds, all of which attack the respiratory tract with similar symptoms but in varying degrees of intensity. In some persons, a sore thro4t Is a fore-runner of a cold, while in others the condition appearp suddenly with at- (Sicks of sneezing, chills and headacre. In some persons, the cold is accompanied with aches 9fHd pains generally throughout the body. The muscles are sore and there is a distinct feeling of feth&rgy which persists for days • wet mmmx rubmrnkum v , : v r ^ r / n after the acute symptoms have disappeared. In the acute and severe bouts, the victim's eyes tear considerably and the eyelids become red and swollen. Nasal secretions are profuse. In very susceptible persons, coughing is an added misery, often producing an intense soreness in the chest and abdominal miuteles • and resulting, frequently, in nausea. Because of the inflammattdn throughout the entire respiratory tract, it is no wonder that very susceptible persons develop a severe laryngitis with its accompanying hoarseness. The person with the common cold is in a state of misery. The sense of taste becomes less acute and the discomfort is heightened by a loss of appetite. Strangely enough the common cold is not a seasonal affair, although the condition is more rampant during the winter months. Severe colds do occur in the spring, summer and fall. As yet there is no positive evi« dence to point to the exposure to drafts as a source of colds, although many persons can trace the beginning of a cold to such an occurrence. Just why some persons develop a cold when exposed to chilling or dampness and others do not is not known. If a cold develops', the best treatment is bedrest. Because the condition is so communicable, it is wise to isolate oneself to obviate its spread. Then, too, bedrest enables one . to keep warm, which is essential in the care of the common cold, and forestalls the development of complications such as pneumonia and pleurisy. The diet should include plenty of fluids and fruit juices. Medications are available to alleviate the symptoms. These produce temporary relief only 1 and shold* be left to the discretion of the physician.

Elm Street McHeory, DL Phone 811 Realdenee 91-R Mothers are concerned when a child refuses his mfeali, when a husband insists on eating what's not good for him or when an oldster has no appetite. But what about the homemaker's j own diet T ' The average diet of women as a group runs low in two important nutrients -- calcium and a B-vitamin riboflavin -- saps nutrition specialist Harriet Barto, University of Illinois College of Agriculture. According to Miss Barto, surveys show that the average diet of women includes little more than half the calcium that is n$ces9fu-y for best nutrition. Calcium, as you know, is responsible for bone and tooth protection. A long continued diet lacking in calcium results in fragile bones that break easily and mend slowly. The B-vitamin, riboflavin, is necessary for healthy eyes, skin and other tissues. It is also related to the body's resistance to. certain dieases. One single fodd --- milk -- is outstandingly rich in both calcium and riboflavin. In addition, it has other properties that contribute to a person's general good health. Experts recommend that adult women consume three glasses of milk -- or the equivalent in milk products -- each day. Three glasses of milk will give 864 milligrams of calcium and 1.26 milligrams of riboflavin. The recommended daily allowance of calcium is 1000 milligrams, and of riboflavin, 1.5 milligrams. It is practically impossible to have enough calcium in the diet usless you include milk. The milk may be skim or whole -- the amounts of calcium and riboflavin will be the same in b^th. Some women and teen-age girls don't use milk because they fear It is fattening. Actually, says Miss Barto, milk and milk p: oducts are basic foods in all scientifically sound reducing diets. The various forms and products of milk may be used instead of fluid milk if they are used in equivalent amounts to provide calcium and riboflavin. For instance, three tablespoons of dried skim milk ar£ the equivalent to one cup ttf liquid skim milk.
