This letter, long one, had been a
hard one to write, and had taken her
entire evening She read it over after
receiving the one from Brian; then de.
liberately tore it into tiny bits.
Gle is having such good time with
Mollie King, he won't care about any
thing that concerns me--or BABY, she
added, her lip quivoring. Little Brian
was growing so fast, was such healthy
happy sort of child, that she longed in
expressibly to share him with Brian,
even if only to write of him. She had
grieved more than her aunt knew or
imagined because she hao not told
Brian of her condition. Often had she
lain awake at night because of her
guilty feeling. Now a dull sullen, hat
red of Mollie took possession of her,
which, added to the jealousy she had
so long felt, warped her sense of pro
portion.
"I'll never tell him now He can
have his good times with Herr" Cher
being Molhe), ~ will have good times
too. I'm through staying at home and
moping because am married. Precious
little moping he is doing"
For the time being even the danger
to which Brian might any minute be
exposed, failed to soften her feeling
toward him. That he at almost any min
ute might be ordered into the trenches,
passed completely from her mind, over
shadowed by the thought that he was
often with Mollie King,
She wished he hadn t told her. Her
active imagination had pictured them
as together, but there was always a
doubt. Now even the comfort of the
doubt was taken from er.Hadn I Brian
written:

me out of mischiefP'
That thought she carried with her
constantly. Mandel noticed her abstrac.
tion and wondered. but with his usual
tactfulness he said nothing, did nothing
save to make everything as easy and
pleasant for her as possible.
Ruth had told him that her aunt
wanted her to give up her position and
remain at home. She had told it laugh
ingly, as something she would not even
consider. Yet it had made Mandel fear
full that something might happen to
change her mind. He knew that Mrs.
Clayborne IS wealth made it unnecessary
for Ruth to work if her aunt decided
to look after her.
He also knew that Mrs. Clayborne
thought little of Brian. He knew it in.

ever limited that such was the case,

BRIAN's LETTER DIsTuRBs
RUTH.
CHAPTER CXXI.

CHAPTER CAAl.
"Dcar Ruth" Brian had written,
II was delighted to receive your let
ter. Keep your aunt with you. She will
be company for you, and keep you from
getting lonely. It's great to be over
here, Ruth--great to be able to fight
for the country you love. And the
women are wonderful! | realize it more
every day. Mollie King is here, doing
nursing. | see her often. It helps to keep
me out of mischief, One has much lido
time, just now, but later when l get
into the fighting line, l shan't find
time dragging, l can scarcely wait. 1t
is too bad you couldn't have come over
with me, But of course that would have
meant giving up your position, even if
wives were allowed--which they are
not. -
There was much more, but Ruth
scarcely knew what she was reading.
"Mollie King is here, doing nursing,
see her often. II helps to keep me
out of mischief. " Those short sentences
which told so little, yet, to Ruth, inn
piled SO much, she read over and over.
Gle sees her often. SHE keeps him
out of mischief, " Ruth muttered aloud.
Then: "What mischief could he get
into half as bad as being with hertz
Really Ruth was enormously miser-
able over that letter. She had skipped
all that about Mollie when she read it
to her aunt; yet that astute old lady
had realized that, for some reason, Ruth
was worried over the letter.
"I could almost wish he wouldn t
come back" she murmured, then i'm.
Imediately felt conscience stricken for
the thought. Yet she could not under
stand Ruth She insisted that she loved
Brian, was constantly elling Mrs. Clay
borne Of this and. that loving thing he
had said or done, yet she had not told
him of the baby--the child she so pas
sionately loved, and had named for
him.
OF course Mrs. Clayborne had no way
of knowing that Ruth had decided
before that letter came-to write Brian
about his boy. That she was planning
to have picture taken to send him.
But so it was. Ruth had written Brian
a long letter, telling of the baby, tell
ing him that she wouldn' worry him
before he left--whieh she knew was
not her true reason, but the only one
she could think of which would look at
all feasible, and which would not hurt
him. She could not tell him that, be-
cause she knew he spent that last hour
with Mollie King, she had kept silence.
She would not mention Mollie.

Simply the Old Fashioned Grip Mas
querading Under a New
Name

Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearance
of grip or la grippe, whiel has swept
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippo
crates refers to an epidemic in AZ b.
c., which is regarded by many to have
been influenza. Every century has had
its attacks. Beginning with 1881, this
country has had five epidemies, the
last in 1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic--in-
fluenza or grip has a very low per-
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out of every four hundred cases,
according to the N. G. Board of Health
The chief danger lies in complications
arising, attacking principally patients
in a run down conditron--those who
don't go to bed soon enough, or those
who get up too early.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to others
take purgative, eat plenty of nourish
ing food, remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Nature herself is the on
ly "cure" for influenza and will throw
off the attack if only you conserve
your strength. A little Quinine, Aspir-
in or Dover 8 Powder may be given by
the physicians s directions to allay the
aching. Always call a physician, since
the chief danger of grip is IN its weak
ening effect on the system, which al
lows complications to develop. These
are chiefly pneumonia and bronchitis,
sometimes inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons it is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you,

SPANISH INFLUENZA THE WAY
| TO treat IT AND TO AVOID IT

or if you are over so or rot strong,
stay in bed four days or more, accord
ing to the severity of the attack.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid per-
sons having colds-which means avoid
ing crowds-commo1 drinking cups,
roller towels, etc. Keep up your
bodily strength by plenty of exercise
in the open air, and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs. Use Vick s Vapo-
Rub at the very first sign of cold.
For head cold, melt a little Vapo-
Rub in a spoon and inhale the vapors,
or better still, use Vapo-Rub in ben
zoin steam kettle. If this is not avail
able, use an ordinary tea kettle. Fill
half full of boiling water. put in half
a teaspoon of Vapo-Rub from time to
time-kcep the kettle just slowly boil
ing and inhale the steam arising.
NoTE-vick' vapo.Rub is the dis
eoyery of North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salye
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is
applied to the body heat, these ingre-
dients are liberated in the form of va
pors. Vapo-Rub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. While compara-
lively new in certain parts ol the north
it is the standard home remedy in the
south and west for all forms of cold
troubles-over six million jars were
sold last year. Vapo-Rub is particular
ly recommended for children s Group
or colds, as it is externally. applied
and can, therefore, be used freely and
often-without the slightest harmful
effect

POTATO FIELD MEETINGS

The County Agent will devote four
days next week holding potato field
meetings, on various farms through
out the County. Prof Alfred Gilbert,
plant pathologist, Of the Extension
Service, University Of Vermont, and
Of the L. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, will assist Mr.. Shaw at these
meetings.
The object Of these meetings is to
assist potato growers to become famil-
lar with potato diseases, especially
the newer diseases that are becoming
extremely serious in some sections Of
the northeast, and which are prevalent
to a considerable extent in Benning-
ton county.
By eliminating undesirable plants
from the field before digging time, and
careful selection of the seed stock, it
will have a big influence on our next
seasons crop, and now is the oppor-
tune time to inspect fields and become
familiar with the diseases thta may be
controlled by careful selection.
This is the first meeting of this kind
ever held in the county, and every
farmer is urged to attend the meeting
that will be most convenient for him.
The following is list of meetings
arranged for remainder of week:
