HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip.
BY Or. Lee n. Smith.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or germ,
We must put up good fight, and not
be afraid. The influenza runs a very
brief course when the patient is care
full, and if we keep the system in good
condition and throw off the poisons
which tend to accumulate within our
bodies, we can escape the disease. Re-
member these three C's-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
To carry off poisons from the system
and keep the bowels loose. daily doses
Of pleasant laxative should be taken.
Such a one is made of May-apple,
leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and called
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Hot
lemonade should be used freely if at
tackled by cold, and the patient
should be put to bed after hot mus
tard footbath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis
or pneumonia and to control the pain,
AnuIic tablets should be obtained at
the drug store. and one given every
two hours, with lemonade. The Anu
ric tablets were first discovered by DR..
Pierce, and, as they flush the bladder
and cleanse the kidneys, they carry
away much Of the poisons and the
uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk,
buttermilk. ice cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the
system and increase the vital resist
ance. The fever is diminished by the
use of the Anuric tablets, but in addi-
ton, the forehead. arms and hands
may be bathed with water (tepid) in
which tablespoonful of salaratus
has been dissolved in quart. After
an attack of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system,
obtain at the drug store a good iron
tonic, called "Irontic" Tablets, or that

more than 5000 insurance death

Treasury McAdoo said.
| During the past seventeen months
the women Of the American Red Cross
| have produced a total of 291 .044, 900
necessary articles. according to a re-
port just made public by the War
Council at National Headquarters.
They were: Surgical dressings, 1884,
10000; knitted articles. 1909, 900;
| refugee garments, 1,464,000; hospital
| garments and supplies, 22,255,00.
Working with raw materials valued
at s40,OO0.O0O, these women produced
finished articles valued at $59,O0O,000
during the past year alone.
The American Red Cross has be-
come one of the worlds greatest manu-
featuring concerns, having over S,00O,-
900 active workers, many OF whom
have become expert. Practically every
one of Americas soldiers who has
crossed the Atlantic has carried with
him some If the knitted articles fur
nished by the Red Cross.
All the men on this side in need of
knitted goods who are in camps or
cantOnments will be similarly sup
piled this winter, as will also many Of
our Allied troops and thousands of i'm
poverished refugees in the war-strick-
en- districts.
France, England, Serbia, Italy, Pal
estine and Russia have received a
gross total of 227,236,548 garments
during the past year.
Hundreds of millions of yards of
gauze, a hundred million yards Of
fabric, and millions of pounds Of yarn
have been purchased since the entry
of America into the war, and made
into useful garments of varied sorts
for the use of our soldiers, sailors and
allies.
THE signing of the armistice auto
matically created the most critical
time in the history of our Red Cross"
said DR.. Brewster, of the Lake Divi-
sion Department of Publicity, who re-
turned to division headquarters after
visits with many chapters.
From the start of the war the inter
est in the Red Cross was constantly on
the upgrade With the prospects Of
peace the interest will be steadily on
the downgrade unless all possible
means are used to awaken the public
to the appalling misery in Europe this
winter.
"On the train, in cities, in the coun- i

chapter officials l found an astonish-

Home Practice and Other Advantages
RelInquished to Serve Country
During the War.

One-ffth of the total number Of

war continues for another year, OBJ

small percentage of them must enroll
Voluntarily All but small percent
age of them have families to support
and these and others are wholly de-
pendent Oh the income of the head OF
the house for this support. The ply
sician from 35 to 45 years of age, the
age of greatest usefulness for mill
tary service, is at that critical period
of his professional and financial de-
yelopment that two years Of forced alb
sence is liable to affect disastrously
his whole career.
The change means, if there is no in
dependent income, sacrificing of in
surance, lapsing of the mortgage,
Withdrawing of children from school,
q complete change of method of liv-
ing, and great risk of returning after
the war with lucrative practice di-
vided among the stay-at-homes. A
law has recently been introduced in
the senate by Senator Owen which
provides an increased rank for med
ical officers of the reserve corps, that
will in some way meet the financial
burden of the volunteer doctor and
will furnish him q rank equal to the
dignity of his civil position.

Trained nurses are urged by the Red
Cross to enroll for service in European
hospitals. Nurses who can leave this
country at any time, for foreign serv-
ice, are needed or will be, and it is very
necessary that they should enroll at
once.
The woman's bureau of the Red
Cross has published q leafiet which
may be had by applying at any chap
ter, describing layettes for French or
Belgian mothers who may need them.
With regard to these simple outfits of
warm baby clothes the Red Cross has
issued the following:
"The articles and garments in the
layette have been chosen upon the ad-
vice of the woman's bureau representa-
tives who have returned from a two
months investigation of allied needs in
France. The Red Cross is anxious
that these baby clothes be made by
women working at home instead of in
the chapter workrooms.
"The garments are very simple.
Great emphasis is laid on the purchase
of extremely durable materials, since
owing to the coal shortage in France,
hot water is available in most villages
only twice a week, while the greater
part Of the laundry work is done in icy
streams. The method of cleansing is by
pounding with stones. Warm baby
clothes will save many q child who
otherwise might perish this year.

Vestments of the Russian
Clergy Are Most Costly

The robes of the Russian clergy are
the richest and most costly in the
world. They are unattainable under
f20O. OF course, notes writer, a
priest cannot pay this cash down, so
the holy synod advances him the mon
ey, and then deducts 1t from his sti-
pend.
In the House of the holy Synod, sit
uated inside the Kremlin, may be seen
vestments of fabulous value. One is
embellished with the Nicene creed,
embroidered in pearls, estimated to be
worth anything between 100000 and
f35OOOO. There are no fewer than
seven miters studded with diamonds,
rubies and emeralds; also golden GRO
siers of rare workmanship. The exact
value of these treasures has never been
divulged, but it is said that if~a per-
son offered f45,OOO,OOO for the House
of the Holy Synod and secured its con-
tents he would make great bargain.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1918-01-11

"The layette will, if necessary, serve
also for civilian relief here in America.
"Patterns described in the leafiet
can be obtained at Red Cross chapters,
and at practically every retail dry
goods store with a pattern counter
The outfit calls for:
"Two daisy-cloth or outing flannel
dresses, one flannel or knitted or
crocheted jacket, three bleached mus
lin Jackets, three thin white flannel
brassieres, one flannel or daisy-cloth
hood, two pairs of bootees, two swad-
ding cloths or wooden blankets, three
flannel binders, twelve diapers, three
undershirts, one bonnet and bag tlled
with sundries for the little newcomer
into warning world. Wherever pos
sible the Red Cross urges that the
layette be completed before it is turned
over to the chapters for shipping.
Whefe this is not possible, single ar
ticles will be acceptable.
Members of the Junior Red Cross,
little girls in the grammar grade sew
ing classes, have offered to help with
the baby clothes; and many women in
rural districts will find these simple
contributions to the winning of the
great war and the comforting Of French
motherhood easier to make than cut
ting hospital garments for men or
struggling with the wool scarcity when
they have volunteered to knit"
