The ADVOCATE P A G E FO UR A new department is being offered to the reader* of the Advocate. A column devoted to advice on friend- ahip, love, and all matters pertaining to the home. Anyone wishing such advice, please write Nancy Lee, in care of thia paper. Johnnie writes that he is very un­ happy because his father and mother quarrel "all the time.” What shall he do? He probably would like to run away. Just what caused the quarrel­ ing. whether his father drank or his mother nagged, or both, he did not say, so it is very difficult to give advice under the circumstances. It is certainly very hard for chiMren to listen to their parents' incessant bickerings, to say nothing of the poor taste they display in air­ ing their troubles in the presence of their little ones, or in the presence of anyone, for that matter. I advise Johnnie to praise the good qualities of each to the other, and to be very loving, kind, and obedient to both parents, so as not to be the cause of any more friction in the home.

It is usually as a result of chilling and exposure, crowding to­ gether of large numbers of people, etc. It is acute in nature and easily spread from one individual to an­ other—even more contagious in the presence of epidemic. It occurs most frequently in winter and spring, tho occasional cases may be found at any time. The common symptoms are cold in the head, sore throat, severe head­ ache. chilliness, nausea, pains all over the body—especially the legs and shoulders, d*«p soreness over the chest, etc. Anyone is susceptible to catarrhal fever. The individual's general body- reserve and resistance has much to do with the severity of the attack or the ability o f the individual to throw the attack off. One big job in combatting catarrhal fever is to control the disease in its early stages in order to avoid very- serious complications— that is, more serious diseases that may develop. The most common of the more serious dis- eases are pneumonia, chronic bron- chitis, pleurisy, acute infections of the heart, acute infections of the nose and ears. etc. It is perfectly justifiable for an individual to attempt to check the milder attacks of catarrhal fever with home r.medies. It is not justifiable, however, if the patient does not show an immediate turn for the better— say. in 24 hours. I f suitable results are not obtained a physician should b.- called that he may supervise your treatment and in many- cases prevent serious after diseases. Join the ASSOCIATION . and Keep W ell!

Isn't that a nice "business-like" way o f doing busi­ ness? The state of Oregon tells its employes that they ran wait for their money until the next session o f the legislature in 1933, according to the Sunday Oregonian. The ways and means committee made no provision for paying its work-rs but will expect them to wait for two years. There are several departments that have not had a cent of wages since their De­ cember, 1930, pay check.

M IT C H E L L It is practically impossible to make a sharp distinction between the com­ mon cold, lagrippe or grippe and in­ fluenza from the standpoint of pro phylaxis and treatment. From the standpoint of the laboratory man— the hacteriaologist and immunologist who is interested chiefly in the clas­ sification of the causative factors of diabases, each of the three diseases is a separate and distinct entity. For practical purposes the three diseases are often grouped a* “ catarrhal fe­ ver.” Thus they become common colds, grippe or influenza, according to the severity of the attack. If the attack is mild it is spoken of as a common cold; if severe, as grippe, and if more severe and especially at the time of an epidemic, as influenza.
