Nature VS.. Drugs

There are hundreds Of people
in Wilmington who have been suf-
ferers for years. They have tried
one doctor after another, taken
gallons and gallons OF drugs. One
doctor guessed they had this, an
other doctor guessed they had
that-they have paid for the guess
ing; paid for it both in good
money and in constantly failing
health. The plain truth is, drugs
will never cure their ailments.
Then why continue the drug
treatment, a treatment they have
seen scores of other like sufferers
persist in for years, grow worse,
then die? Simply because they
have been taught from childhood
that doctors and drugs were their
only hope; that their ailments
we're perhaps incurablc, but that
doctors and drugs might patch
them up and make them last a
little longer. "Thc operation was
successful but, the patient died"
There are people who believe in
"spooks," in Signs in warm
ings.' They never think to search
for natural causes for what they
term phenomena just because
they have been reared in these
superstitions. You wonder at their
credulity yet there is just as much
oommon-senSe in their belief as
there is in your own inbred be-
lief in drugs as a cure for chronic
ailments. If drugs could cure
your ailment it never would have
become chronic.
1t is contrary to Nature to be
sick. However, if by reason Of
having transgressed the laws Of
Nature you do become sick,
Nature will heal you if given an
opportunity. Drugs only deaden
the nerves that warn you OF your
ailment. While these nerves are
held in subjection, Nature is sup
posed to step in and heal. Then
why not employ Nature instead Of
drugs in the first place? AS the
famous medical author, r. T. Trail,
M. d., has we'll said: There is no
reason why a sick person should
be poisoned any more than a we'll
person" er
Natures greatest remedy is
. OXYGEN. 95 per cent. of the
: vital force Of the human body is

SIMPLE HINTS ON HOW
TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

The pneumonia season is at hand
It will last for four months. During
this time several thousand men and
women, now in the flower of strength,
will die Of this disease-and these
deaths need not be.
What can be done to prevent it2
The most necessary thing is that a
man should keep himself right The
men who die from pneumonia usually
are strong and robust when taken
sick.
Heavy eaters, heavy drinkers, fat
men and women are prone to get
pneumonia. If all men and women
weighing 14O pounds and over would
reduce their food and beverages one
half for the next four months at least
500 lives would be saved
The first lesson is eat and drink
lightly at each meal until May.
The next point is that there is some
truth in the statement that a bad
cold may run into pneumonia" This
does not mean "snuffies" and minor

NO ERMINE TAILS
ARE PROPER NOW

"All the tails must be taken from

If you notice the very latest inn
portations you will find that no black
lines mar the smooth surface Of an
ermine stole or muff. What Is done
with the tails? All, that ia q very
reasonable question
Well, they are used as straight
fringe at the bottom of a long scarf
They are combined with lace or beads

are used to outline the yoke and
sleeves of an evening gown. Be as
sured that they are not thrown away

AFTERNOON GOWNS
AND NEW TRIMMING

A charming Paris model for an af-

which depended for its adornment en-

material. The gown was a light fawn-
colored challis, and on tunic, under
skirt. and girdle and down the front
of the blouse the material was slashed
and reconnected by crossed intersec-
tions of the challis, rolled tight into
tubular pieces and sewed to straight
bands, so as to give the appearance
