ADVICE IN GRIP CASES

DR.. Joseph P. Wales, a leading doctor
in Wilmington, published in the Evening
Journal the following wise advice about
the grip. In view of the number of
such cases in town. we republish it:
II think it the duty Of members of
the medical profession to place grip
patients in d position to treat themselves
until the doctor can get around to them"
he replied.
How should they treat themselves ?"
" hen an Influenza victim feels the
attack coming on, he should get into bed
and stay there until he is convalescent, "
DR.. Wales replied. The room should be
warm but Well ventilated"
Sand then what :"
If he can get a prescription from a
doctor, by telephone Or otherwise, get
it and follow it,"
"And if he cannot get such a pre-
scription q

THE OLD WAY AND THE new j

Some weeks ago the Scribe had the
pleasure of entertaining bright-eyed
little nephew from the city with pro-
nounced piscatorial ambitions. So moth
ing would do but Allen must 60 fishing.
After hunting up the tackle and affix-
ing thereto the proper number OF
hooks, the next step according to the
classic authority on the subject, old
Izaac Walton, was to get your worms
to be baited as he instructs ''gently as
though you loved them.
Now worms don't commonly live on
top of the ground but well down in it.
and the Scribe must dig for it. He did.

got as many varieties of crick in his
old back
Well, to make long story short, the
eager lad full of expectant catches ac-
companied by Unk, armed with rod.
line and worm filled canister, tramped
down to Silver Lake. and began to fish.
For some reason or other luck was
dead against us. for we are forced to
confess that not only did neither OF US
land good sized fish, but we diun't
even get bite Not though for two
hours we did our best to coax the finny
tribes to taste our fresh, toothsome
worms.
Now mark the sequel Middletown's
Chief of Police, Harry Hily ard, an ex.
pert angler it must be said. armed with
some of those rainbow hued tin GIN
cracks. you can buy at Letherbury's
store, soon caught several six pound
whopper bass ?
Now, the why of this we can't quite
make out. Perhaps the fish knew his
official standing and just surrendered at
discretion: but just why they should do

The better theory would seem to be
tina. our fish, like the rest of :olks, are
up to snuff-want the latest fashions
like the ladies in hats, and the young
dudes in pawnts, and so, turning up
their noses at plain old fashioned worm
bait, 60 in for Letherbury's new-fan-
gled tin substitutes.
But whatever the reason one thingfis |

fish, let the worms alone to do their |
invaluable work as fertilizers Of the |

full particularly; and go to Walters

LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN

Solicitors for subscriptions to the
Fourth Liberty Loan in St. Georges
Hundred are working hard to secure as
nearly as possible one hundred pei
cent. average of white families in the
Hundred.

promised to hit the unity eight per
cent. mark and thus far the individual
subscriptions through his time average
approximately four hundred dollars

mans team in this district, is endeavor-
ing to GU shine the men.
Mrs. Cutnbert Green and Miss jose
