PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry j. Boyle “COLD CURES” This is the season for colds. Even our belligerent Berkshire is sniffling these days, using the straw stack to wipe away the influenza-inspired, tears; In the barnyard, Biddy, our little Red Hen, has watery eyes to 'match her complexion and I’ve noticed the horse stable resounding with the exploding sneezes of the inhabitants of that por tion of the barn. Last week the hired man had a cold. For breakfast he demanded sliced on ions and while the rest of us cheer fully tried to hold the tears bak, he muched on the Vegetable dynamite MEN’S FINE DRESS OXFORDS Your choice of wide, medium or narrow toe lasts in single or double soles, in Black or Brown.

At last when the rest of Us found excuses to move as far away from the table as possible, he gasped for breath and gulped water in a mat ter to be compared to the husky one- ^cylinder pump of a •thresher’s tank. Somehow the onions didn’t seem to help the cold. One thing they did do and that was to keep the rest of us far enough away from him that we didn’t pick up any of the cold germs. At noon he remembered another cure that had been offered at some previous date and he wore a pair of woollen stockings criss-crossed on,his chest. Whether it was for the warmth of the woollen material or some strange superstitious reason I’ll never tell you, but his cold grew steadily worse. After supper he soaked his feet in a solution of m-ustard and salt and boiling hot water. Then he drank juice from roast lemons and went to bed. Next morning he was prowling around about four o’clock looking for aspirin tablets. In Spite of our insistence lie wouldn’t stay in bed. He’s been hack ing and coughing all morning and growling about conditions in general. Evidently his cold is not improving, nor for that matter, his disposition. I mention this only as an example of cold cures. It’s strange but just let a hint drop on a rural telephone line about one of the family having a cold and then sit back and wait. Sure en ough in about ten minutes you’ll have everybody on the line calling with their own prescription for a cold cure. About the strangest one I ever heard was that of Mrs. Higgins, who called this morning to suggest that the hired man pickle two duck livers in vinegar and salt and then eat the livers before going to bed. Another person called up to say that a cup of pure vinegar and mustard would be a certain cure for a cold. Still another said that they found that axle grease and turpentine rubbed on the throat would be just the thing to cure the hired man of all his cold germs, Mention a cold and the”average man of woman will either prescribe for it Of start telling you about the tiem a certain uncle of theirs took a-mild cold and died fifteen days later after slowly strangling to death. The men tion of a cold seems to make people think of graveyards or home-made prescriptions. I remember quite well coming home from school one night with a bad cold and a kindly old gentleman who lived in a little house this side of our Con cession schoolhouse talking to me. He gave me a little sack to wear ar ound my .neck and made me promise not to tell anybody about it, and to bury it after I had worn it for three days. I managed to wear it for a day, but Mother pinned me down to chang ing my underwear one morning and in the course of the wrestling boUt that followed she discovered the bag, She opened it to find a diced calf’s ear. What she told me then I’ve always- remembered . . . including the ad vice that the only way to cure a cold was to go to bed for a "day or so . . and not to listen- to what the neigh bours have to offer by way of cures.
