Good Health Best
Preventive of Colds
It is estimated that every person
has an average of three colds each
year, with many of these colds the
beginning of mora severe illnesses.
Different methods have been tried
to prevent and cure colds but not
any of them are sure cures.
Proper food, enough rest, sun-
shine, fresh air, cleanliness and
regular bowel movements help you
to have good health, nutritionists
assert. Good health helps you to
keep from having colds. At holi-
days we are likely to overeat of
meats, sweets and starches, stay
up later at nights and overwork our-
selves due to the extra things to be
done. All of these are hindrances
to good health.
A cold is started by a virus or
germ. A virus acts like a germ,
but it is much smaller than a
germ. This germ, or virus, is a
hitch-hiker lying in your nose or
throat ready to attack you when
you are not on guard. This hitch-
hiking germ thumbs a ride into the
mouth on unwashed hands, pencils,
family drinking cups, family -hand
towels and poorly washed dishes. A
cold is taken from others who have
colds and who cough and sneeze
carelessly. Avoid exposing yourself
and, if possible, stay away from
those with colds.
High Grade Ore Aids
Swedish Iron Industry
Sweden has been noted as a pro-
ducer of high-quality products for
most of its 600 years as an ironmak-
ing nation. For a time, too, it was
one of the leading producing coun-
tries in the world, although now it
produces less than 1 per cent of
world output.
The military successes of Gusta
vus Adolphus in the first half of the
17th century have been attributed
in large part to the superior muni-
tions produced from Swedish ore.
and Swedish iron. Not for two cen-
turies afterwards was the principal
reason for this superiority discov-
ered—the chemical composition of
certain of the iron ores found in
Sweden.
Those ores were not only rich in
iron, they were also very low in
phosphorus or even almost free of
that steel-confaminating element.
Further, because of the lack of coal,
charcoal has been widely used as a
fuel for the Swedish iron industry—
thus avoiding possible further con-
tamination of the iron by sulphur.

Freezing Food
The right covering is most impor-
tant for success in freezing food.
The cold dry air of the freezer
tends- to dry out foods. Excessive
drying causes the damage1- known
as “freezer burn.” Foods mfeist be
wrapped in highly moisture-vtapor-
resistant coverings — jars, canb or
packages that are heat-sealed.. Also,
wrappings should impart no taste or
odor to food, be easy to handle amj
seal, not take up too much storage
TOQfn, or be too expensive Warn-
ing is given against using ordi
nary waxed lunch paper sold-in
stores, because it dues not protect
enough against loss of moisture.
Glass jars or tin cans, sealed as
for canning, give the best protec-
tion against moisture loss and can'
be used more than once If cans
are used for ftcid fruits they should
be enamel-lined or lacquer-lined.
Special cellophane wrappers are
almost as good protection as jars
and cans and take up less room.
They can be heat-sealed easily with
a warm iron. Cellophane may be
used to line paperboard containers.

Traffic Master
Priority on the “go’’ signal for
the heaviest flow of traffic—pedes-
trians and vehicles -in any one di-
rection at peak hours is assured
by a new device,1 tKe traffic mas-
ter. Its mechanical "brain,” which
automatically controls a city traf-
fic system, puts accent on driver and
pedestrian convenience, and will
eliminate that foot-tapping impa-
tience brought about by blushing
lights. “ By allowing automatic
changes in traffic light systems as in
often as every 12 minutes during
a day under six different programs,
the new device will prove a booh

with signal systems which seem to

vice can be set weeks in advance
to select any one of the six programs
for a day's operation. It also takes

that the rates are reduced as much

of course, would remain in effect

Eventful History ,t
Texas had piled up. a long and
eventful history before it decided
to give up its independence. Over
its soil, between 1519 and 1845,
floated the flags of four nations:
Spain, France, Mexico and the Re-
public of Texas. Two other banners
were to be ' added: those of the
United States and the Confederacy.
Spanish missionaries from Mexico
began building enduring structures
in Texas in the early 1700s when
the restless American colonists
along the Atlantic coast had not yet
pushed beyond their first barrier,
the Allegheny mountains. A num-
ber of these massive mission build-
ings together with the famqus Ala-
mo, still stand in and near San An-
tonio. It was in the' Alamo during
the Texas revolution against Mexi-
co that Davy Crockett, James
Bowie, William B. Travis and ap-
proximately 180 others were
killed to the last mea.
