Possibly only the proverbial one-tenth of 1 per cent. Aside from reading the ;glowing praises of the many cough remediee, how may I personally do something - that will prevent me from catching this most common ailment? The flnalatest of all advice recom- mended on this subject must be the success of the method as applied to large control groups of people,•some of whom take the treatment and others who voluntarily refrain .from taking, it. The' larger the,:. group under observation the more con- clusiee the remits. Medicine has for many years fought this contagious infection with but, a small amount of success, handicap- ped, at least in one respect, by the absence of large test groups upon which controlled experiments play be made. Because of the lack of disciplinary authority these tests have been lim- ited in the past to military units, but have recently been applied to groups of university students. Defies investigation With the problemof isolating the cold germ stopped by lack of suit- able laboratory equipment -for the germ is known to passthrough the finest filters and to be invisible even with the best microscopes -the re• port of Drs, D. F. Smiley and G. F. Maughan, of Cornell University,as published In Scientific Monthly, comes ae a welcome sign for all people in- terested in . cold prevention methods which are successful and whose suc- cess is substantiated by sufficient evidence to make it reliable. Every employer is only too well aware of the serious leas of time and. efficiency on the part of his help because of absence caused by the com- mon cold. In a like manner, every university finds that a Large :share of the student "cuts" are from this same cause: Cold epidemics are limited to a'. group which comprises approximate- ly 25 per cent. of the whole student body Which ate classed as 'cold sus- ceptible," with men averaging a few percent higher then the women. -Old' Problem of Ventilation Of the several contributing factors. which tend to reduce the resistance of the student body during the dark, cold months of January, I ci nary and March one of the in, it import- ant is the old problem cf t n dation. Tile atmospbere of the claasronm during the winter months is likely to be dry, hot, quiet and consider- ably polluted by infective moisture droplets talked, coughed or sneezed out of :many throats. The more modern buildings ade- quately keep the temperature at its ,proper level with a continuous change of air, but the .majority of the older buildings are inhabitable only .by- the process of keeping windows closed. Titus at the end of the .hour the student not infrequently steps out. abruptly from classroom with a tem- perature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 25 per dent. , into au outside atmosphere with a temperature below freezing and a humidity of 70 per cent, This merited difference of atritos- plteric conditions has been found by the New York State Commission on Ventilation to • cause a paling, a swelling and non -resistive condition of the mucus membrane of, the reseal .passages as well as in a de - se of the mobilization powers of the "immune bodies" of the blood Second in factor's' causing colds 1s found to be the lack of "protective foodstuffs," Such as milk, leafy vege- tables and citrons fruits in the diet. Even when vegetables are eaten in (mantilla they aro generally ofthe canned variety, while the milk comes from stall -fed cows and eggs from whiter -housed chickens. Lees of eausirine in the dark win- ter months keeps the skin in a hyper- seneitive condition to chilling and contributes to the lowering et the ti1'tnrin content -of the body. With these three causes --faulty ventilation, incorrect diet and lack of ultra -violet light from the sun- suostantiatecl, corrective measures boyo been used whieh deal directly with these factors.

Secure a supply of ,fresh horse manure which has been turned frequently to prevent burning and store this in some, sheltered spot,. turning over occasionally until ready to use. The hot bed should be lo- cated where it will be convenient for the person looking 'after it during all sorts of weather. Preferablyf it should have some. shelter from north and west winds by fences, buildings or shrubbery. Select or prepare a well -drained site and make a pile of the manure eighteen inches deep when well pressed down. 00 top of this, place a light frame of wood, any desired size and cover tightly' with a window sash. The latter' should slope a few inches toward that front which must be south. Cover, the manure with three or four inches of fine soil. The bed will heat up rapidly at first but by the fourth day should have cooled down suffici- ently for planting purposes, One Can plant in rows quite close to- gether so that a bed three by four feet will produce ample plants for the ordinary garden. In cold or stormy weather, water sparingly and only on bright days. Ventilate a little every day by raising the sash, keeping it open longer as the days grow warmer. The plants should not be removed directly from a hot bed to the field, except in very fav- orable circumstances, but shohld be hardened off for a week or two in I a coldframe which is exactly the same as the hot bed without the manure, March Magic Once more the fickle birds return Across the sloping seas, And strew the tender fields again With their old melodies. 9 • acid -soaked stomach and bowels assists these organs to function as they .should.

The sky is magic as the month, Low sun, high stars between, The ley winds have washed it clear; Slut it, too, dreams of green. The boats are breathing on the sea; They cannot wait for men; Some undertide has brought them word Straight from a biue•stat'red fen. Unpiloted they steal away, No man shall see them soon, The sea birds follow for a mile, Then leave them to the moon. We, too, serail steal upon the spring With amber sails blown wide; Shall drop, sone day, behind the moon, Borne or. a star -blue tide. Enchanted ports we, too, shall torch, Cadiz or Cameroon; Nor other pilot heed besides A magic wisp of moon. -William Alexander Percy, in "Sap- pho,in,'',evkas:' Owl Laffs Titors was a time when the millers sold shorts.
