Shonts says, makes the use Of Gus
pidors vain remedy.
"The very presence Of cuspidors," the
cpistle continues, "would encourage III
diligence in the habit Of cxpectoration
by many who now get along without
it. Many of those who use rapid
transit facilities arc not as we'll
schooled and drilled in their habits
as they might be. To many of these
the cuspidor would serve as a target
rather than a receptacle"
Mr.. Shonts then points out that In
terborough trains were never built as
art.
"You have seen some Of these long
range artists in action. While this
habit probably comes down from the
days Of old, when the weighty ques.
tions of the nation were debated and
settled around the little old stove in
the corner grocery, / don't believe we
want the present generation practising
their skill on the subway and elevated.
Do you?"
Cuspidors Are Unwclcome
According to Mr.. Shonts, a cuspidor
would be as welcome on one Of his
trains as q person who sat with his
legs crossed, did not observe the "keep
to the right" rule in climbing stair
ways, or sat still and let woman with
knitting stand.
"Our experience shows" he con-
cludes, "that only with comparatively
few is it necessary to expectorate. The
conditions which would be produced by
the introduction of cuspidors would be
very unsanitary and obnoxious.
hardly believe we would be justified in
catering to the wishes of those few to
the disadvantage Of the great major
ity."

INFlUENzA---NHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT Should BE TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1sS9-90, Only Then It Came
From Russia by Way of France and
. This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining OF
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick'SI
NapoRub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should be applied owe the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades TO open the pores.
Then VapoRub should be rubbed In,
over the parts until the skin is red,l
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesseS of hot flannel cloths. Leavef
the clothing loose around the neck, ash
the heat of the body liberates the in-
gradients in the form of vaporS.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly TO the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood TO the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this Isl
a germ disease, spread princlpcuy
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which

drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty Of
exercise In the open air, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
Pieces for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
| sign Of a cold. For a head cold, melt q
little VapoRub In a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapos
Rub in n benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use IN ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRuD
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note--vick's vapoRub is the dis
covery of q North Carolina druggist,
who found how TO combine, in salVe
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebs, ETC., so that when the salve is APP
piled to the body heat. these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pors.

WHITE OAK.

"Listen, young Oaks" said the ole
Oak tree to the ones which had only
quite recently been planted-that is,
they were very much younger than the
old Oak tree.
And the young Oaks rustled and
waved about a little in the breeze and
said. I'VE are listening"
"Well," continued the old Oak
whom we will call Mother Oak, for
she was just like a mother to the
little Oaks, 1--WE belong to the White
Oak family, and we also belong to the
great and mighty Oak family"
Now Mother Oak really could be
called a mother oak, for she had given
the little Oaks shade on the very hot
days before they had grown enough
TO be able to stand the heat them.
selves. AT least they imagined that
it helped them a great deal, although
the help was mostly Imagination with
them.
They loved being near Mother Oak,
though, and watching the things she
did. Then they would copy her and
do just as little Oaks should 10. They
had such a fine example before them.
what do you mean, Mother Oak,
when you say we belong to the White
Oak family and also to the great and
mighty Oak family. Aren't the White
Oaks great and mighty?'
"To be sure" said Mother Oak, 'but
1 meant the great family of Oaks is
so enormous. W. are just a part of 1t.
Suppose" continued Mother Oak,
everyone had the same name (;
wouldn't it be confusing? But trees,
all of which are alike, should have the
same name because that makes 1t
easier for those who want to find out
about them.
Now we belong TO the White Oak
family. Suppose each of us had a diff
ferent name; how hard it would be
for those who wanted to know the
different kinds of Oaks. Suppose you
were Susy Tree" she said, waving a
branch at one nearby young Oak, and
suppose the tree next to you was
called Sammy Tree; it would be ex-
tremely hard for people"
at would" agreed the little Oaks I;
ait most certainly would be very, very
difficult"

Wanted-More Geese.

Geese hold n sector in the line Of
the poultry army that makes war
against waste. When the facts are
taken into consideration that the de-
mand for geese is strong, steady, and
extends over practically the whole
year, that geese excel all other kinds
of which the world stands at present
in dire need, and that their value as
egg producers is considerable, the i'm
portance of an adequate number of
geese in the poultry scheme becomes
apparent. Geese take their living in
large part from grasses of the pas
ture and from otherwise helpless ref
use.

Honesty or Fear-Which7

A fleeing thief threw away $500 on
Broadway, New York, the other day
and the finder returned every cen of
the money to the bank which had
been robbed. Did the finder act through
honesty or through fear that he
couldn't make use of so large a sum
without being caught? Some years
ago a bank messenger lost, or claimed
he lost, a $4,000 bill on the street in
the financial district. Ii was never dis
covered. Some have speculated as to
what the finder or thief did with such
an unwieldy piece Of money.

Grip, or influenza, as ii is now called,
usually begins with a chill, followed by
aching, feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a general
feeling of weakness and depression
The temperature is from 100 TO 104
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining of the ail
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there Is usually a hard cough

them so easy that many sportsmen con-
slider this bird the least difficult of all
game birds to bag, while others are DIFF
ficult to call forth the best skill OF the
expert shot. The beginner can XIII some
quail and the veteran shot will find that
ne cannot secure all birds shot at.
Inc marked characteristics of quail are
that the birds lie best to the dog and
rise nearer to the gun than other birds
OF the uplands. Quail are found in both
the open and in heavy cover. In an open,
level ragweed field, where the weeds are

average shot can often get in a good
right and left barrel. When flushed in
heavy cover the flight of the quail is

ne Will swerve SO quickly as to escape
charge of shot sent directly at him
One of the difficulties of quail shooting
lies in the very fact that he rises near
the gun. If bird rises within 10 feet
OF the gun and continues sailing around
the shooters head at a mile minute
clip, the chances are that he could not
be killed in 10 shots, because the bird
and the gun changes angles with light
ming like rapidity, which is beyond the
ability of the most expert and quickest
shot to calculate.
The nature of the quails flight often
makes long swing unavoidable. Per
haps the bird may rise to the north.
pass to the west, and be killed in the
south. If it had been possible to fore
see that the bird would swing about to
the south before being killed, the gun
might have been pointed there, but in the
meantime the quail would probably have
gone in some other direction. Shooting
quail calls for care and skill in cover
shooting, and the only safe rule is to
point your gun as near the bird as you
can when he breaks and shoot as quickly
as you can get on.
The chief thing that should be remem-
bered is that any bird flying away from
the gun, beneath the line of aim. de-
mands high holding, whether or not the
mark is rising If the target is above the
level of the eye, lower holding may be
sometimes necessary even when the bird
is gradually rising.
If a bird rises near the gun and the
aim is taken direct, the muzzle is pointed
toward the ground. Now the bird may
fly away nearly along the ground, as
pigeons often do. and yet the line of aim
must rise steadily until the gun is nearly
in a horizontal position.
