MORE WEIGHT, STRENGTH,

Frederick Kolle, NJ. D.. editor of New

tro-Phosphate should be prescribed by

run down condition-those who
don't go to bed soon enough, or
those who get up too early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly thru
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds, which
means avoiding crowds-common
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
irritate the lining of the air pas

breeding places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of a cold. For a head cold,
melt a little VapoRub in a spoon
and inhale the vapors. or better still
use VapoRub in a benzoin steam
kettle. If this is not available, use
an ordinary teakettle. Fill half
full of boiling water, put in half a
teaspoon of VapoRub from time to
time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam aris-
ing.
NOTE;-Vick' VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine. in salve
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 ingredients are liberated in
the form of vapors. VapoRub can
be had in three sizes at all drug
gtsts. While paratively new in
certain parts of the North, it is the
standard home remedy in the South
and West for all forms of cold trou-
bles-over six million jars were sold
last year. VapoRub Is particularly
recommended for children's Group
and colds. as it is externally applied
and can. therefore. be used freely
and often without the slightest
harmful effects.

THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness
and sometimes nausea and dizzi-
ness and a general feeling of weak
ness and depression. The tempera-
tIre 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
air passages-nose, throat and
bronchial tubes-there is usually
hard cough, especially bad at night.
often times a sore throat or tonsil-
tits. and frequently all the appear
ances of severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative, eat plenty of
nourishing food. remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry. Nature her
self is the only cure" for in
fluenza and will throw off the at
tack if only you conserve your
strength. A little Quinine. Aspirin
or Dover's Powders May be given
by the physicians directions to al
lay the aching. Always call a doc
tor, since the chief danger of grip
is in its weakening effect on the
system, winch allows complications
to develop. These are chiefly pneu-
monia and bronchitis, sometimes
inflammation of the middle ear. or
heart affections. For these reas-
ons. 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 or if you are over
SO or not strong, stay in bed four
days or more, according to the Sc
verify of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate the lining
of the air passa ges to throw off the
grip germs. to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air pas
sages open, thus making the
breathing easier. Vick's VapoRub
will be found effective. Hot, wet
towels should be applied over 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,
spread on thickly and covered with
two thicknesses of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck as the heat of the
body liberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, in

medication directly to the parts af-

FORGIVE THE DEBTS
Former Attorney General Would

New York. Oct. international

suggestion of George w. Wickersha m
at a Y. M. c. A meeting that the
United States cancel all the obligations
of the allies, France, England and
Italy. to this nation for the billions
loaned these governments.
Wickersham is a well known cor

"I would like to see America for

1 would like to have our country send
a receipted bill to Great Britain.

I'VE can afford to do so. for We
must remember all they have borne,
what they have suffered during the
years before we entered this war. to
hold the line against the Hun and to
keep autocracy from crushing de-
mocracy."

If You Take Bitro-
Phosphate-Says
DIR. F. S. Kolle

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose of making thin
people fleshy. developing arms. neck and
bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and teauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keen1y feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money

Strange Adoptions by Cats.

The cases in which cats and dogs
have formed close friendly relations
are, of course, too numerous to mem
ton. 1t really seems as If there were
no animal friendship 81 strong and
lasting as that between cats and dogs
when once it is formed. It is we'll
known that mother cats when deprived
IF their newborn progeny will adopt
puppies, rabbits, monkeys or almost
any other tender young creature that
may be handy. But there has recently
come to light a case for which there is
no such apparent explanation.
A cat and female fox terrier, which
had brought into the world their prog
eny at about the same time, DELHI
erately snapped their young, the cat
taking the puppies to rear and the dog
the kittens. The exchange was sat-
isfactUy, and both filters were
brought in good health to the wean-
able stage. Nobody knows what led
to such abnormal conduct.

Cheerfulness is a much rarer quail
ity than is generally supposed, es-

common even before we learned that,
in spite Of Browning, though God may
be in his heaven nevertheless all Is
wrong in the world.
= If "most men lead lives Of quiet
desperation" as Thoreau says they
do, it is, 1 suspect, because they will
not allow cheerfulness to break in
upon them when it will. A good dis.

refreshment of his hidden selves. If
he cannot have a Sabbath rest Of "a

Sabbaths, 1t may be Of ten minutes

RED CROSS notes:
Pledre System -Snpgested

Pledge system suggested.
AS long as we are engaged IN war
fare, the Red Cross must be main
tanned. It is the Red Cross that pro-
vides the boys with sweaters, he'll
NETS, socks, mufflers. and ., wristlets
to keep them comfortable in the
trenches It is the Red Cross that
provides the many, many garments
to clothe the boys in the hospitals;
that makes the bandages to- dress
their wounds. All this takes money
and a great deal of it. Without
financial aid, the many enthusiastic
workers who have so conscientiously
sewed at the headquarters would be
powerless. It has been suggested
that pledge system be used, where
by the citizens may pledge once a
month for the duration of the war.
This would insure a regular income
and put the financial part of the
work on a firm basis. What do you
think of this plan?
