How NOT to Have Flu!
• By Dr. Logan Clendening *
Whose Medical Column Is Read by Millions ‘
*
Brief rules for the influenza scare:
If vi* feel bad or have a temperature, be sensible
and go to bod for a few days.
1 saw a young lady who got married in bed the
other day because her father, a doctor, had sense
enough to make her do that. All she had was a light
case of la grippe, Jbut she was not permitted to go to
church even on her wedding day.
Don’t get hysterical. This probably is not the real
flu. Drink plenty of water and no alcohol.
There are no other rules that work.

The Home Office is now conduct-
ing a study of the relationhip be-
tween suicides and meteorological
conditions.
Although this has not been com-
pleted, some findings have been
published. Comparisons between
8.910 silicides in the past three
years and monthly weather re-
ports of the Meteorological Ob-
servatory show that most people
took their own lives when the j
humidity was between 65 and 80 j
per cent and. the temperature be- j
tween 68 and 73 degrees.
As the results obtained do not
conform with the theory held in
the past on relations between
weather conditions and suicides the
survey to check the statistics' will
continue.

Big Dredge Starts
3,000 Mile Voyage
EAST LIVERPOOL. Ohio, Jan. 12.
—(INS)—When the gigantic $500,000
dredge slid into the Ohio River at
Midland, east of here, it started a i
j 3.000 mile water journey—and a ro-
mantic journey at that.
The Treadwell Construction Co.,
of Midland, built the dredge for the
South American Gold and Platinum
Co., for delivery at Tumaco.
Arriving at Tumaco, the craft will
eat its way through jungle swamps,
j lifting valuable earth containing
! gold and platinum deposits. Prcs-
| nectors have surveyed the area
j which the dredge will cover. It is 155
feet long, weighs 3,000 tons, and is i
j powered by three 500-horsepower 1
Diesel engines.

in keeping with
a long-standing
Bell System policy
A series of rate reductions in the last ten
years has substantially cut the cost of Long
Distance telephone service.
Reductions have been made nearly every
year since 1926, except in the depression
years 1931-1934—in accordance with a long
standing Bell System policy to reduce Long
Distance rates whenever improvements in
telephony and the volume of business al-
low it to be done.
The latest reduction becomes effective Jan-
uary 15,1937. Savings are possible on many,
not all, interstate calls. Long Distance will
give you the new rates after the change is
effective.
