During the previous epidemic of in
fuenza In this country anrno twenAs
wears ago-they called it Russian in
fuenza then-a South Carolina doctor
whose name the writer does not re-
member, published an article in which
he recommended a free use of phos-
phate of soda as the best known rem
cdy. He said that II phosphate OF
soda was not available, ordinary cook
ing soda was the next best thing. He
contended that for some reason, prob
ably because of acid condition Of the
system under influenza or grip condl-
tions. the use of calomel was not de-
sirable. AS the result of this doctors
recommendation. a great many people
undertook the treatment OF influenza
or grip, or what they thought was
grip, with soda and the common tcsti-
mony was that the results were quite
satisfactory. The plan Of treatment Is
to take frequent doses of spoonful or
more in warm water until the bowels
begin to act freely and to keep up the
soda right along for day or two. 1t
is quite possible that there is no eff
cacy in the remedy; but any doctor
will advise that there is no harm in a
liberal use of phosphate of soda.

The cotton seed situation is of grow
ing concern TO the buyers. Because
of the fixed price. there Is no incentive
for the producer TO hold. and he Is SELL
ing his seed as fast as he has his cot
ton ginned. The books of the oil mill
ginneries and of other ginneries that
buy seed show that more than 95 per
cent OF the cotton seed is being sold as
rapidly as ginncd. The crushers have
their warehouses full of seed and most
of them can take no more. That
means that the independent ginneries
that buy seed are finding it difficult to
sell. Some of them cannot sell at all.
Just what the solution Of the situation
in going to be we cannot say: but it is
clear that things cannot continue long
as they are.

WEALTH O. THE WORLD.

There is no day SO dull dear heart
But love cau make il brighter,
There is no heavy load we bear,
But hope can make it lighter
The world is what the heart will have
Its signs or songs Of gladneSS,
We make the tumult or the pain,
The merriment or madness.
Not from without the passion comes,
The fever and the frettlng,
But as we will to be WGiare,
Forgiving and forgetting.
The rarest gems are not of earth,
Nor wealth that we inherit,
The treasures that can not be tod
Are in the faithful spirit.
The good we do is what we are,
The soul its service bringing,
To Jesus Christ who sets within,
A thousand song birds singing.
Dear heart be good, you shall be bIest
For love has peace and joy.
It builds the nous of happiness,
That nothing can destroy.

KNITTING SUGGESTIONS.

Don't cast on tightly. An otherwise
we'll knitted sock may become useless
by having tight cord at the top.
Don't knot your wool. Join the ends
by splicing, or by knitting the ends
double for two or three inches; or by
running the new end into the old end
with Worsted needle, which may al.
ways be kept on hand for this purpose.
Don't make heel with seam on the
sole. Remember man may not havea
chance to change his socks for manly
days, and a lump or knot brings a
blister. If the blister breaks, blood
poisoning may set in and result in the
loss Of foot or even life. We can
not afford to lose our men thru negli.
gence or ignorance.
Don't use needles too fine for the
wool. The knitting should be elastic;
il too tightly knitted the sock becomes
hard and boardlike in use.
Don't make foot less than II inches
long.
Don't hand in socks without having
them washed and ironed. This makes
them softer and more comfortable to
the Wearer, and inSures certain
amount OF Shrinkage.
