If a bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap
up well, drink freely of hot lemonade
and take a hot mustard foot-bath.
Have the bedroom warm but well ven

store "Anuric Tablets" to flush the
kidneys and control the pains and
aches, Take an 'Anuric" tablet every
two hours, together with copious drinks
of lemonade. If a true case of influ-
enza, the food should be simple, such as
broths, milk, buttermilk and ice-cream;
but it is important that food be given
regularly in order to keep up patients

on the farmers of this country Spe-
cialists who have analzed the situa-
tion emphasizes the fact that the real
solution of the food crop is as much
solution of transporting implements
as one of sowing and reaping. They
request the immediate attention of
farmers to the need of ordering farm

Under normal conditions it takes
several weeks. and sometimes months
to obtain farm implements from the
factories The machinery is delayed
in transit. at terminal and transfer
points, in handling and assembling.
To alleviate these conditions, which
are likely to be aggravated this year,
1t is important that farmers inform
their dealers at the earliest possible
moment what they desire in the line
OF farm machinery during the 1918
crop season. This will facilitate the

PITCHER MAEWSON URGED TO CHANGE HIS MIND AND GO TO FRANCE
CRIPPLE CAPTAIN
IS NO HANDICAP
Stroke Emmett, With Para
lyzed Leg, Led Harvard to
Victory Over Princeton

When Harvard won from Prince
ton in the regatta on Lake Carnegie
last Saturday the varsity victory was
lesson to all persons who think
that they are not strong enough to
take exercise. The man on the Har-
ward crew mostly responsible for the
triumph was cripple, that is to
say Dick Emmett, stroke and cap
tain, suffered terribly with infant
paralysis when a child. Even now
one of his legs is practically power
less. Nevertheless, mis- good leg lie
puts to such use that he can exert
vast power in his drive and he IS
one of the best strokes Harvard ever
had.
Princeton's re-entry into rowing
competition against Harvard was
marked by q double defeat, but
somehow defeat these days has lost
it's old sting. Princeton was sorry
10 lose both the varsity and fresh
man races, but it failed to show any
deep chagrin. Even the Tiger oars
men took their setback philosophi-
cally and promised to do better in
the Childs cup race on Lake Carne-
gle next Saturday. Princeton likes
to win, but if it is beaten it is going
derives great satisfaction merely
from its being represented on the
water. It's mighty hard to muster
a crew at Old Nassau these days and
no matter what the competitive issue
Princeton is satisfied.
Harvard showed two well balanced
and smooth crews. Just how strong
they are really could not be told
from the races against the Tigers, for
the Crimson was not pushed in eith-
er race. 1t was content to take d
good lead and hold it. Harvard had
weight and power on its rivals and
used it to just enough advantage to
win. That it could have won by
more there is little reason to doubt
The Crimson used the same stroke
which 1t has been using ever since
Robert Herrick and Bill Haines took
hold. The men had plenty of leg
and torso drive and never hit up n
very high stroke. After getting away
to thirty-siX the varsity fell to q
much all the way. Princeton kept
going at quite similar stroke, but
while it rowed just as smoothly as
did Harvard it did not have the pow
er that was behind the Cambridge
swing.
There was one serious defect in
Princeton's work and that was at the
start. While Harvard got away fast,
Princeton seemed to be at a stand
still. Th" Tigers used the old pro-
fessional sculler's method of getting
away. They made three strokes
without using their sides and with
their legs fiat. These strokes were
short and choppy. The next four
or five strokes, though made with
the slide, also were short, increas-
ing in length until the men got in
TO their normal stroke. This method
was supposed to get the boat away
quickly without the danger of any
thing breaking, but in practice the
theory was not upheld.
