SHORT HOLIDAY FOR THEM High School Students Will HaTe aVa cation of Ten Days. The trustees of Columbia High School decided last night to dismiss the high school from Friday, Decem ber 20, until Monday, December 30, for the Christmas holidays. This is the shortest Christmas vacation al lowed at any of the schools of Col umbia and is shorter than is usually allowed at the high school. The short period was allowed this year because the high school began later than us ual last fall and a longer recess would put the close of school in June. The authorities want to finish the term before June 1. &mM Sipyon lj J I ii or mmmmmmww iAi ua aMir v has a good effect on the skin, closing the pores bo that they are not so open to the cold." Mr. Field intends to give sometime during the year a series of five or six-minutes talks on personal hygiene to the gym classes. "A cold is an infectious disease," says Dr. W. J. Calvert, professor of preventive medicine. "There are two ways of Infection, one from the out side when germs flying about in the air get into the body through the nose or mouth, and auto-infection, that which takes place from germs already in the body when the natural resist ance is lowered. "Whenever the body is chilled or in any way the circulation is driven from the surface of the body, there is a congestion of the blood in the mucous membrane of the nose and in fection results. The cold germs are transmitted In the secretions of the mouth and nose. Whenever a person sneezes the germs are thrown out into the air. How Colds Spread. "A cold will spread from one mem ber of a family to all the others, from one house to all the others in the block, just as the measles will spread. Really, the treatment that should be used Is the same as Is applied In other infectious diseases quarantine of the patient. But that well, it will be a long time before we get to that. "Anything that chills the body low ers its resistance and makes it liable to infection from the cold germs. Fresh air is a stimulant in keeping the body in perfect condition. In the ordinary house, enough fresh air gets into the room through the cracks about the windows and doors. Where two students live in a room, more ventilation, of course, is necessary." According to the way some physi cian has figured it out, it will not be long until, when a person in a house gets a cold, he will be shut off in a room by himself and given a "bacter ine," which acts like the diphtheria anti-toxin. All the other people in the house will also be given the "bac terine". This doctor's experiments have shown that a certain germ causes a cold and that a man may be at one time immune to it and at an other time be susceptible. The serum which he has prepared has also been successful to a certain degree in cur ing and preventing colds. From Another Physician. "There may be several different kinds of germs causing colds," says Dr. A. W. Kampschmidt. "We really know little about them. There may be several different kinds of colds, some worse than others. If we could get a serum that would work well, it could be used to prevent and cure colds, but it is hard to get a serum that will work the same on all men. Fresh air is good and a cold shower in the morning is good for some peo ple in the prevention of colds." Summing up, the best way to get rid of a cold after you have got one is to do everything that you can to get back into perfect health again and help your body fight it out with those little bad cold bugs. And remember these things will help you to keep the germs from getting the start on you: Sleep with your windows open. Avoid a draft Get out into the open all you can. Take a cold plunge every morning most of you. Wear warm clothing, not exposing any part of the body more than an other. Eat regularly. Avoid anything that will lead to in digestion or constipation. Take regular exercise. And any time you see one of those bad cold bugs swat him. C. M. E.

The first attempt, made yesterday, to introduce among the students of the University the newest but ungen tlemanly game of "Kiddoo" failed be cause the principal lost his nerve. After saying the "fatal word" in the game he made a hasty retreat. This sport, which originated among the students of the Harvard Law School, is one in which young women play an important although not active part Whenever the players see a young woman, if one of them thinks she is good looking, he points two fingers at her and yells "Kiddoo". If the rest of the party, after looking her over in a manner that is intended to be inoffensive, decide that she is good looking the "Kiddooer" gets 10 points on a possible total of 50; if not he loses 10 points. When the to tal is on the winning side the posses sor is treated by the rest; on the los ing end the "Kiddooer" must purchase. SPECIAL RUG SALE!
