ct A GRIPPE" is the French name
IL and il is pretty good designa-
ton of the way this ailment clutches
you. In other days the malady was
known by its Italian name. INFLUENZA
which simply means "influence'--the IN
fiuence of the atmosphere. This, also
Is correct, for. like all other diseases, 1t
is attributable to certain condition OF
the atmosphere. combined with the re-
suits Of your own misdoings' which
make you susceptible to such influences.
Strange TO say. while grip is bad
thing to have, it is also a bad thing TO
lose your grip.
An attack of the grip Is character
lied by extreme prostration. chilliness,
flushes Of heat and cold. sneezes, nasal
discharge, severe. intense headache ana
cold perspiration cough, chest pains and
often severe muscular pain, with fever.
There are sometimes nausea and rom-
iting.
AS to treatment OF the grip, the
best thing is TO go TO bed. with the
windows of your room wide open, so as
to secure plenty Of fresh air. and stop
eating altogether, slipping little soft
sible. take a hot bath on alternate
nights. Keep the bowels open by using
mineral oil and II necessary by means
of enemas. Massage will be found
helpful
That is about all you need to do, ex-
cept to keep up your spirits. and avoid
drugs and tonlcs of all kinds. Yes. by
using them you may possibly cut the

will inevitably bring upon yourself an
early recurrence of disease-perhaps
something worse than grip.
The writer has found grapefruit val
liable in colds-which are really feyers--
OF which influenza is severe form.
Take it this way After washing II
thoroughly, slice a medium-sized pomeio
retaining skin and seeds. Pour on 1t a
quart OF boiling water. Let 1t stand a
few hours. Take-hot or cold, as pre-
ferred-a tumblerful, evenings, and an
hour before each meal. This takes the
place of quinine, without its dangerous
after effects. If you can't get pomelo'
use lemon.

Fasting When Bilious"

Should ono fast when bilious?
Mrs. s. ID.
Yes. Stop eating rich foods until you
get an appetite and are prepared to
assimilate foods Fresh fruit and fruit
juices will hasten recovery. 1t is not
best to keep the stomach empty, how
ever. Fruits. agar-agar and sometimes
mineral oil should be taken three times
n day to keep the bowels moving reg
ularly. If this is not done the accumu-
lation of bile and other materials in the
colon may make the symptoms worse

Gypsies' Christmas
(Copyright.)

The gypsy Christmas Is a love feast
and a carnival in one. The wandering
folk come together in tribal celebration
to choose their queen for the beginning
year. Each clan has its own usages and
superstitions In Rumania the cradle
so they say. of nomadism. the gypsy
queen is crowned with roses. and roses
tip her scepter and her wand. In place
of holly and Wistletoe the hardy little
rosebud which blossoms at this season
on the apex Of the hills is honored no,
for its sweetness merely. but because OF
a fair Christmas legend which the gypsy
folk would make distinctively their own
Chicago Tribune.
