The Tremendous Cost of Colds
It has been estimated that colds
cost the United States more than |
a billion dollars a |
year. That figure, |
of course, is only |
an estimate. It |
merely attempts to |
gauge the dollars
and cents lost in|
wages; and in the
money spent in an
effort to overcome
colds. It does not
take into account |
the discomforts |
that may be caused
by this common complaint. Nor |
does it allow for the possible after- |
effects of a neglected cold.
Cause and Cure Obscure
No scientists today are willing |
to state what causes colds or how |
they may be cured. Large num- |
bers of clinical and laboratory |
tests have been performed |
throughout the world in an effort |
to discover why we catch cold. |
Numerous records have been |
made concerning colds in men,
women and children, as scientific
workers have patiently and per-
sistently tried investigate the |
cause of colds. They have sought |
even one clue that might help us|
to outwit

Prevention Rather Than Cure
Though we may not know pre-

how to cure it once we have been
stricken, we ean and should help
to build up bodily resistance, so |
that we develop strong reserves
against the unknown cold germ
and any others lurking about. |
Inasmuch as a program for |

It is important to remember,
however, that the best single
piece of advice that can be given
regarding diet is to eat moderate-
ly of well balanced meals.
Don't Overeat
In addition to partaking ade-
quately of the protective foods,
those who are endeavoring to plan
a program of living that will help
to prevent the common cold should
likewise guard against overeating.
One should also do everything
possible to avoid coming in direct
contact with persons who have
colds.
Through a routine of correct eat-
ing and sound habits of hygiene,
the homemaker can go a long way
toward helping her family to pre-
vent colds. Remember that here,

Helping to Build Resistance
Such a program should include
proper food, normal elimination,
adequate exercise and sufficient
rest and sleep so as to avoid fa- |
tigue. Just as food plays an im-
portant part in helping to promote
growth, maintain health and in-
crease the chances for longevity,
so does it have a stellar role in
the battle to prevent colds.
The Right Food a Strong Weapon
The well balanced diet, as |
have previously stated, is one that
is built, first of all, upon a firm
foundation of the protective foods
—milk, eggs, fresh fruits and |
vegetables. These are the foods |
that are richest in minerals and |
vitamins-—substances which help
to regulate body processes eh
help to guard against deficiency |
diseases. i
There should be adequate pro- |
tein to allow for the demands of |
growth and to help repair worn-
out body tissue. There should be
enough bulk or cellulose to help

to get some sewing done. You
