mggests Ways
:o Avoid Colds
AUSTIN—With open season for
|olds at hand, Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
itate health officer, suggests ways
|y which they can be avoided or re-
luced to a minimum. Here they are:
[dumber one: Keep yourself as fit
possible. Substitute the simpler
nd more nourishing foods for rich
[fixtures. Eggs, milk, and other
Jairy products, fruits and green veg-
bles are rich in vitamins that are
Stection against colds. Add them
your diet. Drink several glasses
|)f water daily.
Number two: Dress according to
he weather. Keep comfortably
Have a sweater handy or a

germ laden phlegm, and aid nature

ranes. Tell your druggist to sell you

warm coat to slip on when the days
turn cold suddenly. Light a fire or
turn on the heat if your house is
damp and chilly. If you are a house-
keeper, get your warm bedclothes
out—and use them.
Number three: Avoid sudden chill-
ing. Change as quickly as possible to
dry shoes and dry clothing if you
are caught unprepared in a drench-
j ing rain.
Number four: Get some exercise
in the open air every day—-a brisk
walk, if you can’t do more than that.
Hold your head up and breathe
deeply as yqu walk. Keep your sleep-
ing quarters and your working
rooms well ventilated, and get plen-
ty of sleep.
Number five: Colds are catching.
Don’t go where people are coughing
or sneezing. Wash your hands be-
fore eating.
Number six: If your powers of re-
sistance have been lowered and a
cold "catches” you, don’t fight it.
You will save time and strength and
get well more quickly if you go to
bed, eat lightly, drink plenty of wa-
ter and stay in bed until your phy-
sician says you may get up. Don't
wait, either, until you are seriously
ill to send for your doctor. Send for
him promptly, and follow his ad-
vice.
Number seven: Don’t give your
cold to others. Have your own towel
and drinking glass. Don’t broadcast
your germs. Don't sneeze or cough
in your neighbor’s face. Keep your-
self well supplied with paper hand-
kerchiefs and destroy them after
using. Postpone visits to friends un-
til your cold is non-communicable.

The circulation department of a
newspaper causes more grief and
worry than the editorial, advertis-
ing, job printing and mechanical
departments all put together, and
The Texan has been having more
than Its share lately. It is from the
carrier boy delivery service that we
receive so much criticism and so we
want to explain again how we han-
dle the carrier boys here at The
Texan office and ask your coopera-
tion in eliminating this grief.
In the first place we want to em-
phasize that The Texan or no news-
paper as for that sells Its papers
direct to the subscriber as far as the
carrier delivery system is concerned.
We sell the papers to the carrier
boys, charging them ltio a copy or
3c per week. They pay us for every
paper they carry out and then col-
lect 5c a week from the subscriber,
leaving the boy 2c per week or lc
per copy for the delivery service. In
other words we get 3c a week for
printing the paper and the carrier
boy gets 2c per week for delivering
it and collecting for it.
The only exception we make to
the above Is where a subscriber
wishes to pay $1.00 or more in ad-
vance rather than pay by the week.
In such cases we require the carrier
to turn In the money to us and we
pay him back at the rate of 2c per
week. We do this to' proteot a sub-
scriber against his carrier boy quit-
ting while the subscriber still has a
deposit up.
We mention this because so many
people complain to us that our boys
occasionally “get to them” on col-
lections. They seem to think we
keep a page in our ledger for each
subscriber, not realizing the 3c gross
we take in on each subscriber week-
ly . would not pay for the book-
keeping expense. But here Is the
Important angle of this collecting
business. Some of the subscribers say
two or three different boys collect
from them. They say frequently
some boy other than the one who
delivers their paper comes around
to collect when they have already
paid for the paper in advance. And
rather than argue with a young-
ster, many of them say they have
been paying off without questioning
the boy. Well, what we want to ask
you to do is stop this business. Don’t
pay a boy for your paper unless you
owe him for it and don’t pay any-
body except the boy who leaves
your paper.
It is a dangerous thing for a boy
to get it into his head he can “get
by" with such practices and is far,
far more important than the 5c or
10c you are giving him. They must
learn that honesty and fair-dealing
pay a business man.
We will appreciate it if you will
be firm and business-like in your
dealings with our carrier boys in the
future and any one who might be
posing as a carrier boy. Don’t pay
them one cent unless you owe it to
them. And something else, when you
miss a paper deduct for it when
you pay the boy. That will do more
than all the calling and complain-
ing you can do to our office. We
give them the complaints and cau-
tion them not to miss anybody else
but it doesn’t make the lasting im-
pression that it would if they knew
It was costing them money to be so
careless.
We have a fine bunch of carrier
boys but they are at a dangerous
age and we want to exercise every
precaution and ask your cooperation
in helping make responsible business
men and oitlzens out of them. Treat
these youngsters as you would want
your own child to be treated if he
were out in the business world “on
his own,” so to speak.

-QUICK BATTERY SERVICE—
We call attention of all men who
have registered for the draft that a
list of the serial numbers appears In
today’s Texan and it is necessary
and important that you know your
serial number. The serial number
assigned you has no bearing, of
course, on when you will be called
as that will be determined by the
order number given you after the
national lottery next week. Our pa-
per will carry the names and num-
bers of men when called and all in-
formation pertaining to the draft,
so watch your Texan closely.
The Texan and all the other
newspapers are printing this list of
draftees and all future information
as a gesture of public service and
receives no pay for same.
We feel a word of explanation is
necessary about Thurman Adkins’
resignation as a member of tha
Wheeler county draft board. He re-
signed this week on receipt of a
late official ruling that only persons
over 36 years of age are eligible to
serve. Thurman’s name was sent In
as a prospective member of the
county board a few months ago
when it appeared Congress would fix
the first draft age limit from 21 to
31 years. Later Congress voted to
raise the draft age to 35. When
Thurman was subsequently notified
of his appointment he naturally as-
sumed state and federal officials
would not have approved it had his
age made him ineligible. He took it
on himself to investigate this week
and learned Washington had ruled
no person under 36 was eligible.
Incidentally, membership on a
county board is more of a secriflce
than most people realize. Serving
without pay, the members will be
required to devote almost full time
the next six week or more and
considerable of their time for many
months to come. This draft calls
for a sacrifice on the part of many
people and the public should appre-
ciate those accepting places on the
county board, the medical examin-
ing staff, the advisory board, the
appeals board, etc. It Is all volun-
tary.
The forty-first annual National
Antomobile Show, staged in New
York's Grand Central Palace Oct.
12-20 is the nation’s oldest industrial
exposition having a continuous ex-
istence.
Only one person in every ten nff
New York City’s 7,649,000 population
owns a passenger car as compared
with more than one out of every
three of Los Angeles’ 1,400,000 popu-
lation.
Regarding the spelling of names
of the draftees carried in today’s
paper, we can’t guarantee their ac-
curacy as the copy first furnished
our office was a third or fourth
carbon and was not very legible. If
there is any question we advise you
to check a duplicate list of names
posted on the bulletin board in the
courthouse at Wheeler.
