with their work, but they should remember that in going up the rounds of the ladder of life it is best to go slow and sure, not to take a jump and hold on to one of the upper rounds only to fall back to perhaps a lower round than they occupied at the start. Success comes slow and sure to most of us who are deserving and not by leaps and bounds. Prevention of Colds: HE following rules for the prevention of colds were prepared by the Committee on the Prevention of Disease of the Boston Chamber of Commerce Colds are contagious. They are caused by germs. You catch cold just as you catch diphtheria. The germs of cold are spread from the nose and mouth of one person to another. Draughts, wet feet, chilling of the body, and sudden changes of temperature, will not in themselves cause a cold( stiff neck and other muscular pains are not here included). These conditions may weaken the body, help the germs, favor the developement of colds and make them worse. It is worth noting that Arctic explorers never suffer from colds until they become infected from their fellow, men on their return to civilization. Do not get close to others who have colds. Do not use handkerchiefs, towels and cups that have been used by people who have colds. Even though you do get your cold from your neighbor, don't pass it on. Do not sneeze or cough except into your handkerchief. Do not spit on the floor to do so may spread colds, tuberculosis, and other diseases. Do not neglect a cold. It may lead to serious complications. During the first few days, if you have fever, stay in bed. This will help you, and protect others from getting your cold. Take a laxative and use simple house hold remedies. If these do not help you call a doctor. 18.
