EPIDEMIC OF "GR|P"
Amusing Chorus of Coughs
and Sneezing in Theaters
and Churches. A Splen-
did Home Remedy.

There is at present startling cpl
demic Of the o!d-time La Grippe"
or the Grip" as it is most generally
called. This is brought about by the
recent unusually quick changes in the
atmosphere and the prevailing mois-
ture. 1t behooves every one to be
exceedingly careful not to expose
themselves to drafts, and most i'm
portant is, not TIC get wet feet. In
this matter OF clothing, much de-
Ponds on what person is accus-
toned to. So much for the well one
but to the afflicted We can not EN-
phasize too strongly the Importance
OF treatment. 1t is a simple thing to
cure if taken in time, but If allowed
to linger frequently leads into pneu-
monia and hasty consumption. A
well-known physician III speaking OF
the matter states that there arc three
things to do promptly: stimulate the
circulation: heal the inflamed mucous
membranes and have bowel action TO
take away poisons. To accomplish
these all az once he gives ;he pre-
scription that was in general use
wien the Grip was raging in the
east. 1t is as follows: Two ounces
OF glycerine. half ounce Concentrated
oil of pine, half pint of good whiskey
(spirits frumentp. Shake thoroughly
and take in tablespoon doses every
four hours"
These ingredients can be procured
at any drug store. The Concentrated
oil of pine is the new form of pine
product which is n great improve
inent over the old ki: ,aiSs, which dis
solved very imperfeetiy." 1t does not
come In bulk. but is put u2 for dis
pensing in half-ounce walls, zach en-
closed I'm Il screw-top box, which pro-
teets the oil from atmospheric
changes. II should be borne In mind
that there are patent medicines using
similar name put QUE by chemical
firms. but these can be avoided by
making sure YOU get the real article,
the Concentrated oil of pine. 1t is
condensed and concentrated so that
one drop contains more of the active
principles of pine than triple the vol
ume of the ol3 style pine oils and
extracts.

Pretty Phrase That Was Most Woe

That the effect Of a choice and ap-

Is well illustrated in an incident con-
nected with the death Of a Virginia
lawyer.
During the mans illness the wires
were disconnected which attached the
hell to the old-fashioned pull knob
on the front door.
A messenger boy came to the house
one morning and began pulling at
the bell. There was no response.
He continued to jerk the ancient knob
vigorously. A white-haired gentleman
finally appeared, who raised his hand
warningly and said:

Does discussion of Uncle Sans new

the fact exists, and it may result in

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory il the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear,
ing quality of the goods. This trou.

Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source OF
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven enths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, t h Q
"blues", sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
IRENE irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains,nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually, cross and snappy? II so,
your nerves are in shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
