The younger Dyer. who is AS years
of age was brought up in the belief
that his father had been killed in an
engagement during the war shortly be-
fore the birth of the boy, and the
complications which followed az the
result of the reported death of the hus-

The younger Dyer has received sew

to abandon mining and go to Okla

advantage of the offer, tho he will visit
his father next month. He said:

StubbornAttack OF Grip
Cured By Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy

Colonel Cornelius P Cole, well
known and much respected citizen Of
Appanoose county, Iowa, now past
seventy years of age, who came to
Iowa with his wife over fifty years ago
says, myself and wife were both
soundly cured of severe and stubborn
attacks of grip last winter by using
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. 1t is
a wonderful remedy and we never
wish to be without it. The greatest
danger of the grip is Ct it resulting
in pneumonia We have never known
this to occur in any case when Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy was used, and
this is certainly remarkable record,
as many millions Of bottles have
been sold and used since the first cpl
demic of grip occurred.

WHAT IS THE GRIP?
WHAT IS IT'S EFFECT I?

These questions are best answered
by several eminent medical men in
published interviews The most inn
portant points emphasized by the fam
Gus doctors are these:
Grip is highly infectious.
Grip stimulates other diseases.
Grip has an extraordinary effect on
the mental functions.
Grip picks out the weak points in a
PERSONS constitution.
The victims of the grip are adults
who perish from pneumonia or bron-
chitis and the aged who sink from
heart exhaustion.
Children while prone to the disease
enjoy comparative immunity from its
complications and dangers.
Grip shows decided tendency to
relapses, feature to which the lnd1-
rect faculty of the disease is in great
measure due.
Alcoholic stimulants are not only
unnecessary but positively harmful.
At attack of the grip seems to rem
der the individual more liable to con-
tract the disease from future expo
sure.
The attack comes on with lightning
like speed. A person in apparently
perfect health is suddenly overcome
by feeling of discomfort. lie feels
chilly or shakes with the rigor worthy
of an ague. His head aches. There
are pains in his eyeballs and other
symptoms characteristic of the dis
ease soon follow.

THREAT OF GRIP
AND ITS DANGERS

"The increased mortality of the last
three weeks from lung affections fol-
lowing attacks OF grip, emphasizes
more than ever the necessity for nurs-
ing an initiatory cold.
The Herald, always anxious con-
corning the public health, has repeat.
edly called attention to the dangers OF
undue exposure during inclement
weather, and now reiterates the IN
junction with still more earnestness in
view of present conditions.
Most of the fatal cases of pneumo-
MIA at this time of the year are due to
the lack of timely treatment of what
appears to be simple attack of bron-
chial catarrh. The taking of the
stitch n time is at the bottom OF all
questions of prevention of other more
serious ones lying in wait for solution.
1t is we'll to take into account IN
such connection that February and
March are generally considered the
most fatal months for pneumonia,
especially when influenza is prevailing
even in mild epidemic form.
Thus far we have escaped vista
ton of virulent form of the latter
malady, but there is abundance of time
and opportunity for the development
of severe epidemic, with the usual
aftermath of alarming mortality.
The effective treatment of an ordi-
nary cold is matter of day or two
against possible subsequent sickness
for weeks.
The indications of a severe attack
of influenza are headache, chilliness,
general muscular pains, fever. sore
throat, cough and systemic latitude.
When these show themselves no time
is to be lost and the patient should
give up work at once and promptly
place himself under proper medical
re.-New York Herald

avoided by the prompt use of Cham

CAN GRIP BE
PREVENTED j?

Sir William Broadbent, an eminent
English Physician relates his exper-
fence in preventing the disease as fol-
lows: From the first invasion OF in
fluenza (grip) l have found that the
best remedy was quinine. | have had
opportunities of obtaining extraordi-
nary evidence of its protective power
In large public school near London
the girls and the mistresses took their
morning dose of quinine, but the serv-
ants were forgotten. The result was
that scarcely girl or mistress sui.
fered, while the servants were all

preventive, take two grains OF the

Fife Wheat.

Years ago, about Il century, David
Fife. a Scotchman of Otonabee, Ont,
sent TO a friend in Glasgow for a
small bag of seed wheat to try in a
cleared patch of the backwoods. The
friend obtained some seed from a
vessel just in from Danzig. Unfortu-
nately it was a fall wheat and reached
David Fife in the spring. Neverthe-
less David Fife sowed it in spring.
One can guess how feverishly the
backwoods farmer watched for the
growth of his experiment. Only three
wheat heads survived till the fall, but
those three wheat heads were entirely
free Of the rust that had ruined his
neighbours crops,a and those three heads
really represented a new variety of
wheat, n fall wheat turned into a
spring wheat. David Fife treasured
the three heads and planted them in
spring. Such was the beginning of
Fife wheat In America.-Agnes G. Laut
in Outing Magazine.
