Go To Bed
• There' are many'remedies for the
common cold which is so prevalent
in almost every district at the pres-
• ent time. In fact almost anyone will
furnish you with' a sure cure, with or
without the asking.
Dr. Harold S. Diehl, dean of medi-
cal sciences and professor of pre-
ventative medicine and public health
• of the University of Minnesota, has
•something to say along this line too.'
The doctor who has made a life study
of the common cold, says that a com-
plete, adequate and balanced diet is
necessary to keep one's health.
• But beyond this, the doctor says,
no special diet has any material
value for either the prevention or
• the cure of colds. The same is true
of» vitamins, so widely exploited as a
•cure or as a cold preventative.
And the experiments that Dr.
Diehl carried out at the University
• have cracked wide open hundreds of
old home remedies for colds.
Nasal preparations were found to
have little value, and someeven do
actual harm. Mouth waShes, gargles»
and antiseptics were found to be use-
less, as were purgative, medicines.
The drinking of great quantities of
liquids, purposely to get rid of the
poisonouts effects of a cold, was found
to be ineffectual. Whisky, brandy
• and hot toddies -with which a whole
lot of people dearly loVe to treat a
• cold, were classed as dubious reme-
dies.
Dr.'Diehl agrees that sulfa drugs
•and penicillin are valuable in treat-
ing strep infections and lung trou-
bles or complications growing out of
- a cold, but neither one has yet been
• •-Awn to have any value in the treat-
• ment of a common 'cold itself.
The university researches, • how-
• ever, showed the general hygienic
measures help to get rid of colds, and
the doctor gives this advice:
• Go to bed and stay there until you
• recover. By doing » so you protect
others from exposure, you •also in-
crease your own resistance and you
keep » warm.
And, it is pretty good advice too.
•
•
_ Water Shortage
Passing along a highway the other
daywe noticed a large water tank on
• wheels, pulled over on the shoulder
of the road. Being long past harvest
time,the sight was somewhat unus-
ual, but a few inquiries soon con-
vinced us that'the tank had not just,
been abandoned since last fall, but
• until last week's storm had bogged it
down, it was a very essential vehicle
on some farms in the vicinity.
'Last summer » could scarcely be
•called a rekl,ly »dry one, but it was
the driest in 'SWeral years. Even at
• that, with a rainfall of over thirty
inches in this part of Ontario, one
would think that there would be no
shortage of water on the farm,
Unfortunately, however, in many
instances, there is_ almost a water
• famine. Fanners, of course, for very
• obvious real estate reasons,- do not
• advertise this drouth on their farms,
but it is there all the same, and the
• ways and means of supplying water
• for their stock prove laborious and
painful. •
Where there is» a running stream
on a farm, a hole can be cut in the
ice and the stock driven back and
forth, but poundage and money both -
are • wasted in, the proeess. And
When it c� es to transp?rting water
• for a barrifull of stock, in zero wea-
tker» and over» illed roads, the farm-
ers life is mit to be envied.'
Nature has always supplied the
ter, but people have wasted- it

ionS, wait, and the latter is anything
but, clieap. liut a_ few following
sumniers, even if they are no drier
than the last, should convince the
farmers in Old Ontario, that the sit-
uation is really critical. And, if SO,
perhaps some action will at last be ,
taken.
•
War Memorials
• Considerable thought is being giv-
en at the present time to the build-
ing of memorials at• the close of this
war, and there seems to be a very -
general opinion. that these memor-
ials should take. the form of a "liv-
• ing memorial" rather than those
• that were patterned after the last
and previous wars in history.
Speaking on this subject, the Bos-
ton Monitor said something recently
that should be conned over byall lo -
Cal conimitted, particular
y in the
smaller communities, who are, or
will be engaged in the promotion of
these memorials:
The movement which seems to be
spreading among American cities
and towns to construct 'living' war
memorials in the form of public audi-
toriums and civic and recreation cen-
tres, promises a vast improvement
• over the motley array of shafts and
statuary, ranging from works of art
to just works of the local iron fonn-
dry, which have sprung up after
earlier wars. But it would be well
for the city fathers to plan carefully
• even in this more imaginative direc-
•''tion. An unused building somehow
seems more lifeless and futile than
• a statue which isn't supposed to do
anything anyway, but just stand and
remind by its presence. Many com-
munities which erected memorial
' buildings after the First. World War
with the hope, if not the expectation,
that the mere exiStence of the struc-
• ture would inittate and develop ` the
activities which would make it func-
tional, found that they had put the
cart before the horse. It is sounder
planning to think first in terms of
appropriate community activities,
• provide reasonably for their contin-
• uity, and then proceed to the matter
of a building to house them."

Will 'Travel Be Cheaper?
Will travel by rail be cheaper after
the war?. At least there »would al-
ready appear to be a prospect of
that Recently several airlines in
the United States have, brought their
rates down to, and in some cases ev-
en under the rail -Pullman fazes on
the railroads.
• One airline is even seeking per-
mission to fly cabin class passengers
at the rate of 3y2 cents' per mile.
Both railways and airlines have
served well in this war, but at the
same time war has been a profitable
business for them, and now» that
aviation, has achieved its goal of
equalling the first-class fares charg-
ed by the railroads, will the compe-
tition »developed in wartime be car-
ried over into peace, and result in
cheaper fares all round?

Take 250,000 Five Years
We have heard so much and so
frequently in these war years » about
• the German destruction of European
cities, that we seldom pause to think
or even visualize what real destruc-
tion means.
'The situation, ,however, was so
simply » and realistically brought out
the other day in a despatch from
Warsaw, Poland,. to the London,
England, News Chronicle, that it is
well worth reading and remember-
ing.
It will take 250,000 Gernians five
years to -rebuild wrecked Warsaw.
"German labor will have to rebuild
what German wickedness destroy-
ed," said »the despatch, which esti-
mated that only five per cent. of 'ex-
isting buildings could be nadhab-
itable. And the monetary loss was
placed a'si,o00,000,000.
Stefan Litatir, who wrote the
Chronicle's story, said: "Warsavvr no
