Whiskey Bath Listed as Old Cold Remedy
SCHENECTADY, N. Y.-Fantas
tic remedies suggested for the com
mon cold 60 years ago were de
scribed by Dr. Louis C. Jones of
State College for Teachers, Albany,
in an address here.
“The Albany Times in 1886 sug
gested that, in the realm of preven
tive medicine, best thing to ward
off a cold was to take a bath in
hot whiskey and rock salt twice a
year.” Jones said
Referring to less expensive reme
dies, the speaker pointed out that
"it was ‘discovered’ in Calcoon, N.
Y., that If you take the skin of the
leaf lard from left side of a pig,
put it on your chest and keep it
there, you’ll be over your cold in no
time."
Another remedy mentioned in old
legends is to crawl through a dou
ble-rooted briar, moving from west
tc east.
IN THESE UNITED STATES
Indiana Industrial City Maps
Extensive Improvement Plan
By E. L. KIRKPATRICK
WNU Feature*
Three-quarters of a century after its settlement on the
Blue river, New Castle, Ind., attracted the Maxwell automo
bile factory in 1907. From 3,000 population then, the town
"growed like Topsy,” to its present size of 20,000. Activity of
an industrial city settled down over the frame of a small
town. <
According to Scott Chambers,
president of New Castle’s City Plan
commission, “this tended to change
the sense of values of the people,
who became more interested in get
ting than in giving, more in what
they had than what they were."
There were fewer music and art
teachers in the town’s schools in
1940 than in 1904.
Scan Civic Needs.
So, in 1942, there was held a
civic clinic in the form of public
meetings whereby more than 1,000
people helped to figure out what
their town needed. Better housing,
more adequate parks, auditorium,
new hotel, airport, community cen
ter, physical and moral clean-up
were on the list.
It all spelled a job for a planning
commission. Speakers were engaged
for civic group meetings. Re
ports of the talks were carried in
local papers. The mayor named a
commission. Members read good
books and pamphlets for self-educa
tion end employed the services of
qualified architects. All the forces
went to work for a New Castle that
“would give its people both the op
portunity of an Industrial city and
the charm and ease of life in a
small town.”
Foresee Future Growth.
The program is based on analysis
of problems and outline of purpose.
While some of it is being carried out,
the rest still is in the planning stage.
With more than a dozen substantial
manufacturing firms to its credit,
the city looks to brisk business and
well-balanced growth in the years
ahead.
A place where parking facilities
are adequate is being substituted for
a business district where traffic
jams the streets. Quarters that will
permit good health and induce good
citizenship are replacing blighted
areas and local public works proj
ects are part of a general scheme
for community developments. There
is no leaf-raking in new goals for
New Castle.
Two Elderly Fans
Are Undeterred by
Scooter Accident
MEMPHIS, TENN. — Although
their first attempt at riding a motor
scooter landed them in a hospital,
two elderly Memphis women insist
they will not desert the childhood
sport.
When Mrs. Mattie Driver, 60
bought the scooter, she invited Mrs.
Ida L. Frisby, 82, for a ride. The
scooter got out of control and the
women landed in a hospital, Mrs.
Frisby with a shoulder injury and
Mrs. Driver with a head cut.
Insisting that she had no regrets,
Mrs. Frisby said, “I was doing
something I’d always wanted to do.”
“This won’t stop me,” Mrs. Driv
er bragged, adding that she intends
to ride her scooter to Chattanooga
as soon as she is released from the
hospital.
Former WAC Sees
Name as Casualty
BILLINGS, MONT. — When the
war department recently published
its list of World War II casualties,
Mrs. Charles W. Bruder, former sec
ond lieutenant in the WAC, scanned
the list with amazement for her
own name was included among
those officially declared dead or
missing.
Mrs. Bruder, whose service was
confined to recruiting duty in this
country, blamed a mixup of service
records in Washington for the error.
She was released last December.
Her husband also was an army of
ficer, serving in the European thea
ter.

Foster D. Snell, Inc., well-known consult

with a group of men and women suffering
from Athlete’s Foot. These people were
told to use Soretone. At the end of only a
ten-day test period, their feet were exam

report:
"After the use of Soretone according to
the directions on the label for a period i
of only ten days, 80.6% of the cases .
showed clinical improvement of an infec- f

Improvements were shown in the symp
toms of Athlete's Foot—the itching, burn

"In our cpinion Soretone is of very def
