This is the opinion of Mrs. Olive Huffaker, gray-haired widow, who is attending Des Moines university with her pretty 18 year daughter, Thelma, a sophomore. "Nine out of every ten of the girls in the classes in which I am taking work are bright, steady, and conservative girls--quite distinct from the type that is known as the 'flapper" says Mrs. Huffaker.

She adds that she believes that more and more of the young people who are attending college nowadays are going through for the information they will obtain, than for the fun and the social life. Mrs. Huflaker will graduate from the college in June. She is completing the course in education since she desires to resume the teaching profession which she followed prior to her marriage. Her daughter is studying arts and sciences.

Going to school and keeping up a home is quite a job, but Huffaker manages. She iinds her days filled with hard work, but interesting nevertheless. Methods of instruction now are greatly improved over those used when Mrs. Huffaker first went to school, she claims. "They work now for the interest of the pupil and for an incentive to study rather than trying to cram itnowlege into the student's head," she says.

Hippocrates, father Of modem medicine, described this disease in 400 B.C, and yet after 23 centuries, we know little more about it than he did.

The cure for pneumonia is as yet But we do know that colds lower the vitality aud hence pave the way for pneumonia. Many fatal attacks, however, might be averted if more of us would follow this maxim-- Never let a cold get a start is itaw mare deadly than Tubercmlotu Government records show that deaths from pneumonia reach their peak during January, February or March. Formerly, tuberculosis, the "Captain of allthe Men of Death," as it was called by John Banyan, was tbe most fatal scourge of mankind. Since 1916, however, pneumonia has gained the gnm title, avenging yearly 32 more deaths pet 100,000 population, Cotya--rhinitis--no marterwhat medical men may call the common cold, it is nevertheless a disease. A person with a bad cold is sick and should go to bed for a day or two.

Complete rest enables the body to regain lost vitality and so throw off germ infection. Unfortunately, it is not possible for all of us to get such rest. The next oest thing is to take vigot- ous action at die first sign of a cold. At night take a purgative--a hot bath, and plenty of hot lemonade--go to bed under blankets to induce perspiration. Briskly massage the throat and chest with Vicks for five minutes.

Then spread on thickly---about one- eighth of an inch thick--and covet with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the covering loose around the neck so the vapors arising from the application on the chest may be freely inhaled. If there is much tightness or soreness in the chest, apply hot, wet cloths to open the pores of the skin before using Vicks. If the air passages continue stopped op, try the "teakettle and tent treatment," This method--fully explained in the directions-consists, briefly, of vaporizing Vicks in a teakettle and arranging a newspaper "tent" over the patient's head so that the combined warm steam and vapors on be inhaled. Being externally applied, Vicks can be used freely without disturbing the digestion.

This makes it a boon to mothers. An application at bedtime will usually prevent a night attack of croup. Above all rise, do not let a cold "hang on" and become deep-seated during these danger months.
