 LA GRIPPE: And now comes the old familiar enemy stirring up old difficulties and creating new troubles. To those that are nnpreparedy no quarter is given, the attack is not without warning, but the playing is ruthless. The only friends recognized by this ruthless enemy are those that are fortified with absolute faith in their own ability to resist disease and a positive knowledge of the fact that they live in accordance with the laws of nature and therefore disease has no chance to get a foothold in their system.
 Like other deadly enemies the grip of this season appears to be attack ing people in a different manner than ever before. First, appears a cold which suddenly develops a chill fol- lowed by a very high temperature. In many cases vomiting occurs and with the sore throat scarlet fever is suspected. As rule a terrific head ache is the next symptom and then pain in the back lof the head at the base of the brain. The ears and eyes suffer and many cases of partial or COInplGtS OSd1uCSS III OIIC CciI iOodAto'
 Vigorous and prompt should be the treatment, at the first symptoms of cold. A thorough .physic should be given but don't wait for 1t to set. Cleanse the colon of feca1 matter by a thorough enema and tepid waer, about two quarts in which has been dissolved tablespoonful of salt. Fol- low this with a full warm bath and then put the patient to bed. Keep the room comfortably warm and the pa- tient quiet, don't allow him to read.
 The home remedies indicated are during the rst stages and Nat. Mur. 6X, four tablets alternated every half hour or hour with Ferrum Phos., put up in the same way. After this stage Kali, Mur. and Nat Sulph. are usual fly of importance and clear up the mucous surfaces and leave the ears, nose and throat in good health.
 More and more physicians are re- cognizing the importance of proven tive measures and if the people would join more heartily in helping to pre- vent disease, there would be less suf- fering.
 Constipation is the most important of the predisposing causes of the grip, improper diet and inactivity the causes of constipation, therefore eat right and exercise if you want to be free. Next in importance is another thing which physicians are beginning to recognize of the most vital impor- tance and that is the mental attitude. Fear kills more people than disease. I include in fear all kinds of worry, anger, hate and tantrums of various kinds. A serene. even temper with heart full and overflowing with love is a powerful shield against disease and enables many to live and work that would long ago have succumbed to disease if they were not so forti- fled.

 Find some good excuse for crossing him off your list of pupils = such as alck of time to give him as much att tention as he needs.

People are brought together who have the righ. appeal for each other. Contact awak- ems interest, and admiration and af- lection follow.

 Dear doctor: have read the Home Health Club articles every week for several years I write for informa- tion. I have had one felon on my fin ger and it has just got so I can put my hands in water and now there is another starting on the front of my little finger. I am using lemon on it. What would you advise to kill the felons or can they be prevented? Are they caused by bad blood? can- not remember bruising my fingers at any time. I will gladly appreciate any information you can give to pre- vent my suffering from another felon. Will inclose stamps for an early re- ply.
 l. B. NJ
 (Answer) A felon is an inflam- nation which usually occurs at the extremity of a thumb or finger and results in suppuration of the struc- lures. Most felons involve only the more superficial structures. The de- velopment is as a rule slow and ac- companied by great pain and nervous weakness. A bruise often causes a felon. Many such cases are extreme 1y difficult to treat, especially if the abscess is located beneath the cover ing of a bone. Some felons have been checked by holding the thumb or finger in kerosene oil for ten or fif- teen minutes at time, two or threre times daily but usually felons cannot be aborted. The usual way to cure a developed felon is to cut clear into the bone with a sharp instrument and allow pus to escape. When the sys- tenn Is in an unhealthy condition dur ing an ordinary felon, other felons are likely to arise. Scrofulous per- sons are especially subject to a crop of felons. Decay of bone or some particle of bone broken off by frac- ture may likewise be the cause of it. Pieces of decayed bone should be ex- tracted, and it Is always we'll to use an abundance of tincture of myrrh, externally in all cases where crop of felons is threatened. This com pound tincture of myrrh has also proven valuable for internal purposes in severe cases.
 Let your diet be plain and nourish- ing. Keep your bowels open and habits regular and temperate. Do not drink coffee and tea. In all cases of this kind the proper combination of tissue foods for internal use is of the greatest assistance. Such course of treatment is almost sure to, bring both early and permanent relief.
 Dear Doctor: Do you know of a home remedy that would help my husbands arm? It frequently be- comes very numb. It was so bad last night that he was compelled to get up. There was no severe pain, only the numbness. I rubbed the arm with camphor, but after he lay down it was as bad as ever. He has been troubled with it for about a year and thinks it came lon him gradually by heavy work. If you can give any suggestion it will be thankfully re- ceived.
 MRS. A. H.
 (Answer) Your husbands arm is probably suffering from muscular ex- haustion, brought on by overwork and strain. He should give it rest, and about three times a week apply a hot fermentation or hot bran bag (moist) to both shoulders and arm that trou bles the most, down 10 the elbow.

PETITIONS READY
 FOR Y|L0N|A ROAD
TO PUSH ORGANIZATION
Hoped to Complete Faulkner's First Highway District Within Next
 Few Weeks.

Blank petitions to be signed by land owners within the territory af- fected were printed today for the completion of the organization of the road improvement district for the purpose of building a permanent highway from Conway through Beryl and Vilonia to the east line of the county. Circulation of the petitions by property-owners in the district specially interested in the road will be begun early next week and it is hoped that the required majority in land value, acreage or number of property owners will be secured with in few weeks, SO that active prep arations for building the road may be begun.
 The district has already been out lined and the route of the road sur veyed by engineers of the state high way commission, who have also filed in county court an estimate of the cost of the improvement.
 As soon as the petitions are com pleted and filed, the county court, after giving due notice, will hold 8 hearing upon the sufficiency of the petitions and if they are found to contain a majority, in assessed value, in acreage or in number of land owners within the territory described, the district will be formally organ ized. The county judge will appoint commissioners who will be empow- cred to let the contract for the work and borrow funds with which to com plete the road.
 The proposed highway is one of the most important in the county, car rying an immense amount of traffic, and it is believed that if the Vilonia road is successfully completed it will be the forerunner of several other similar road districts in the county.

Palace Furnished Food.

At harvest festival held at Bishop,
Cal, the principal attraction was a
great palace built of alfalfa. The city
Of Bishop is located in hay-grOwing
center, so there was ample material
with which to rear the unique struc-
ture. Baled alfalfa-more than one
thousand tons of twas used and a
number of men were employed for sew
cral weeks on the job.
The palace was designed to be an
exhibit hall. 1t was 90 feet wide and
40 feet long, beautifully proportioned,
with an imposing entrance and walls
turreted all the way around. At night
it was outlined with hundreds of elec-
trio lights, making a picture more
charming than it presented by day. 1t
was built around and under towering
LOmbardy pOplars and other trees and
was open to the sky, bat so arranged
that all exhibits which required shade
were protected.

TEACH YOUR SON CITIZENSHIP
Few Mothers Realize Ideals of Citi-
zenship Carried by Sons Must Be
Fostered in Childhood.

1t was not long after the war broke
out that Queen Elizabeth of Belgium
protested a little that her fourteen
year-Old son was in the trenches.
And it was King Albert who ex-
planned to her gently: ST have him
with me to teach him how serious a
thing it is to be king"
To every American mother should
surely come at some time the desire
to teach her son chow serious a thing
it is to be a citizen"
Yet how few mothers realize that
the ideals of citizenship which their
sons carry with them must be fostered
in their bOyhOOd days.
Every time a mother teaches her son
to regard the interests of the family
as a whole she is teaching him to be a
good citizen. And every time she
teaches him that being a member Of a
family carries with it obligations as
well as privileges she is teaching him
the meaning of citizenship.-NewY York

WHAT? YOU REMEMBER ME7'
One Secret of Success of WelI-Known
New York Hotel
Owner.

One Of the many things which have
contributed to the success of the late
George c. BOldt, the well-knOwn hotel
man, was his ability to remember the
names of his guests.
Early in his hotel experience BOldt
discovered that there is no item Of
courtesy which pleases a guest much
more than simply to be remembered,
to be called by name. And so BOldt
made a special effort on this point.
Finding that he was rather lacking in
this phase of memory, he set out to
develop his mind in this direction.
He found that even the simple proc
ess of repeating over to himself two
or three times helped tremendously.
You are introduced to a man, and are
apt to be looking at him so intently
that you do not even hear his name
when it is spoken. Boldt always made
it a point to catch the name-tO have
it repeated if necessary. Then he said
it over to himself two or three times,
while associating it with the mans
face and with his general appearance.
He made a mental picture to himself
of the way the name would look when
written Out.-American Magazine.

the country dealt in the tickets for the
monthly drawings, and men, women
and children played.
One morning early an elderly Ger
man with strong accent appeared in
the central part of New Orleans seek
ing ticket No. 43. He put in several
hours hunting through the numerous
agencies of the lottery before he final
ly found "43" and bought it. When
the drawing was held, a couple of
weeks later, the old Germans number
drew the capital prize. The next morn
ing he appeared in the barber shop
where he had bought the number to
claim his reward.
The owner of the shop, asked the old
man how he had happened to select
"43."
"Vell," said the old man, 81 vas

"It's fOrty-twO; you made a mis-
take!" exclaimed a bystander.

TO CUT ADULT DEATH RATE
Expectation of Life for Man of Forty
Is Year Shorter Than 1t Was
Decade Ago.

The statement made in a recent bull
letin of the New York board of health
by DR.. Charles f. Bolduan that the ex-
pectation of life for a man of forty
was actually at least a year shorter
than it was ten years ago, receives
confirmation from Australia in the re-
port of a commission appointed to in
quire into the causes of death and in
validity.
The Lancet LOndon) quotes this
commissions report as saying that the
principal risk of middle age is in high
blood tension. The principal causes of
this are found in Overstrain and in
chronic poisoning of the blood by foods
and drinks, and from the bowels and
the throat.
The Lancet says the recommended
tiOns of the New York and the Aus
tralian bodies are somewhat vague,
but it welcomes a campaign against
avoidable adult mortality which it
says, need not become an opportunity
for the exhibition of rampant faddi-
ness, though risk lies in this direc-
tion."
