Probacy if a plebis- citfl could be held. 1933 would be voted the worst in the PooDi imnniniv nf livintr man and it, nnlv nr.ntnliln nnftnnh won... tin "may we never see another like it!" Which only shows how we humans exaggerate. 1933 wasn't so good, but as far as this country was concerned, it might have been a lot worse. Its first three months undoubtedly marked the nadir of the depression, but its last three months as certainly marked the most cheering period ,in the past four years. The year seemed worse than it really was, because it marked the fourth straight yeat of unrelieved depression. Such things are cumulative. As time goes on the powers of resistance start to decline, nerves which had held up for three years of strain, begin to crack. And as usual those who hold to the myth that a change of political administration would mark an immediate transformation, are due to a rude awakening.

TEN YEA HS AJO TODAY December 31, 1923 (It was Sunday) Wlneteen-twenty-three waa a good year for moat people, with 1824 pro mlalng to see a new era ot prosper iity. around. To my mind there la nothing atrange about that. The e x p 1 a nation la that children are more Intimate, carelefia and gre garious than old er folk. Notwithstand ing the periodic laborious bulletins to the newspapers by the Johns Hopkins expedition, no one knows any more about "the .common cold" than ever. For that matter, no one can define or describe "the common cold." In fact "the common cold" Is so vague a conception that the doctor who use It as a diagnostic makeshift are quite g&fe, for no one can tell at the onset what the al leged "cold" la going to be. Thus it is easy to stall along on the fake diagnosis of a "cold" until the act ual nature of the illness becomes manifest. As long aa the big shots in public health world persist In fiction of "the common cold," are not ably less likely to catch what ever IS gOing lnf mnUt.nr that shrmt. forth b distance of two or three feet, never over five feet, from the speaker's mouth, during ordinary conversation. And accordingly I believe that the most effective prophylaxis against such infection consists In the effort to remain beyond the conventional spray range whenever you can man age to do so, or If your occupation requires that you come Into Intimate contact with many persons, then ar range a suitable screen to protect you or your vts-a-vla. We need a housecleaning In our public schools, to remove Ignorant, vicious teachers who Insist on coming to school when they have "slight colds and so subjecting every child In the school room to the unwarranl od risk of infection with heaven knows what.

Most public health authorities or health officers, when pressed, will reluctantly admit that people ought to be careful about sneezing and coughing all over the environment when they have "colds." But tell me the name of any health officer who has ever warned the public about the peril In the conversational spray of the scoundrel who purports to have a "cold." In addition I here by offer a reward of ten dollars for proof that any health officer or health authority of standing has ever dared to deny that there Is the same peril In conversational spray as there ! is in the spray of the uncovered cough or sneeze.
