The Common Cold

THE COMMON cold derives' been exposed to chilling: rain.

Its name from its frequency rather than from its character. The havoc it causes is variously estimated as affecting the economy of the nation by hundreds of millions of dollars. The concentrated efforts of physicians and scientists on the

causes, prevention and treatment of the common cold have not yet produced any definite advance in these areas. The common cold is caused

Dr. Coleman by a filterable

virus or groups

of viruses, some identified, j others still elusive. It is a high- j ly contagious disease that occurs in epidemic form, especially in overcrowded schools, industries and communities.

many mothers find that a warm bath has warded off possible colds. Treatment of the common cold consists mainly of rest in bed for at least 24 to 48 hours after the temperature has returned to normal. Antibiotics, antihistamines and antipyretics (for fever) should be used only under the specific direction of the physician. Nasal drops in limited quantity, followed by steam inhalations, can be very comforting. A light but nutritious diet, with an increase in fluids, is beneficial.

Approval Seen For School Aid WASHINGTON UPI — For the second time this week. Conguess vv a s expected to approve a large federal aid to education bill. The Senate was to vote on legislation providing $1.5 billion to expand federal a i d to vocational schools, increase government loans to college students and continue assistance to schools crowded by children of federal workers and servicemen. The House earlier this week approved compromise vocational aid bill, and finished work on a group of txlucation and training measures that included approval of a $527 million bill to expand and extend the life of the 1962 manpower training program. The House retraining bill would have to be meshed with differing Senate legislation on the same subject.

She was a graduate of Vassar College. In 1923 she married Eugene Boissevain, who provided her with all luxuries of life. She led a very sheltered life. She died in 1950 after 26 years of being happily mar-

WASHINGTON UPI — Senate Democratic leaders today endorsed plans for January public hearings on the problem of presidential succession, but carefully reserved judgment on what form it should take. The main point at issue now is how to deal with a vacancy in the vice presidency. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield. Mont., told a reporter that hearings on two constitutional amendments introduced Thursday will "get tha subject out in the open” for a determination of whether changes are needed. Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., said he is asking about 50 top members of the American Political Science Association to "give up their views as guidelines" for any action. He is a former officer of the association. "By looking to the scholars we can get some very helpful guidance for the hearings,” Humphrey said. Humphrey told UPI he feels that the “appropriate form” for any change is the constitutional amendment, rather than legislation. But he added, “I’m not yet prepared to say which route by amendment is better." Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., proposed an amendment to provide for the immediately congressional election of a vice president when that office becomes vacant for any reason in this "split-second nuclear age.” This would be done in joint session, with each member of House and Senate having one vote. Sen. Birch E. Bayh, D-Ind„ who is chairman of the constitutional amendments subcommittee which will consider the proposals, introduced another which would let the President nominate a new vice president. This would be done within 30 days and be subject to confirmation by a majority of both Houses. Bayh stressed that his approach would permit party continuity during any four-year term.
