ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC


Spanish influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has all the appear
ance of grip or la grippe, which has
swept over the world in numerous
epidemics as far back as history
runs. Hippocrates refers to an cpl.
uemic in ALP B. c. which is regarded
by many to have been influenza. Ev,
cry century has had its attacks. Be-
ginning with 1881, this country has
had five epidemics. the last in 1889
90.
There is no occasion for panic
influenza itself has very low per-
centage of fatalities--not over one
death out of every four hundred
cases, according to the N. c. Board
CT Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking prin
cipally, patients in run down con-
dition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometime nausea and dizziness, and
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 mucuous membrane. or
lining of the air passages-nose.
throat and bronchial tubes-there
lis usually hard cough, especially
bad at night, often times a sore
throat or tonsilitis, and frequently
all the appearances of a severe head
cold.
! THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to 9th
ers-take a purgative, eat plenty OF
nourishing food, remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry. Quinine as
pirin or Dover's Powder, etc, may
be administered by the physicians
directions to relieve the aching. But
there is no cure or specific for infiu-
enza-the disease must run its
course. Nature will throw off the at
tack if only you keep up your
strength yourself, The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bod
lily resistance that there is danger OF
pneumonia or bronchitis developing,
and sometimes inflammation of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons, 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 few
er has left you, or if you are over
so or not strong. stay in bed four
days or more. according to the Sc

wonsn Champion Maker of Flies.

The title of worlds champion arti-
fetal fly maker is proudly claimed for
Miss Alice Sherwin Coleman of New
York, who for more than decade has
been making flies for anglers. Some
idea of her reputation among the dis
ciples of IZaak Walton may be gath
cred from the fact that she and her
assistants make 100000 worth of flies
for fishing enthusiasts every year.
Miss Coleman makes 300 different
varieties of flies regularly summer
and winter, special orders bringing the
number up to 800 varieties altogether;
for such is Miss COlemans reputation
that eXacting fishermen in the wilds
Of America sometimes catch strange
flies that hover over particular streams
and send them alive in ventilated
bottle so that she may study and re-
produce them accurately.

The committee appointed by the

GIories of Swiss Alps.

The Gornergrat is an unpretentious
peak in this royal company of the Va
Iais Alps. But it is the center of a
wonderful concourse of mountains and
glaciers. Most wonderful Of these is
the world-famous Matterhorn, but
tressed against the sky. 1t is almost
$4,000 feet high, with it's head reared
cloudward abruptly from the sun
kissed valleys. To the east its front
is precipitous, to the west it shoulders
out with softer curving lines, until a
little Imagination makes of it lion
roaring at the rising sun.
The mountains are but a part Of
this picture. In the valley below is
the giant Corner glacier, fed by the
great glaciers that hang from the sides
of the Monte Rosa, the Ryskam, the
Twins, the Breithorn and finally from
the Matterhorn itself, before it in turn
pours it's gray turbid flood into the
Visp-the brawling, noisy river of the
valley of Zermatt.
