most advanced methods, which will

Ignorance of Law Brings
Rebuke to a Colonel

"A few nights ago I witnessed Il
rather, exciting episode in one of the
leading New York hotels" said
John F. Gilmore, of Manhattan, in
the Washington Post. "A young
man in the uniform of a lieutenant
in the Army, it seems, had exhibited
to friend paper showing that the
lieutenant had been honorably dis
charged from the military service
only a few days previous. An older
man in uniform, wearing the in
sigma showing him of higher rank,
was standing near and Immediately
took a part in the proceedings. He
at once began to berate the young
men, saying the other, as a dis
charged soldier. had no right what
ever to be wearing a uniform; that
it was gross presumption upon the
part of any one who had received
! discharge, whether honorable or
not, and demanded the wearer to go
at once and array himself in civilian
clothing on the pain of being re-
ported and arrested.
THE young man, who was a fine
looking specimen of manhood, an
swered with great courtesy and
calmness, but insisted that he was
breaking no law or Army regulation
in keeping on his uniform for linn
tied period after his discharge. His
senior got angry and excited and
looked as though he were prepared
to make a formal arrest. At this
juncture an elderly civilian, a finely
/ dressed gentleman, who looked as
though he might be a Supreme Court
Judge, took q hand in the contro-
versy, speaking with great dignity
and effect. The young officer, he
said, is quite within his rights. BY

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining

Upstairs Elizabeth Wade washed

moving her soiled dress, slipped hur-
riedly into a fresh one.
She was still fearfully nervous and
wanted to get back downstairs.
She did not even pause to comb her
hair but smoothing the rough por-
tions with her brush she pinned up
the loosened strands.
AS she did so she heard more plain
~ than before the mems voices raised
in alteration. The sound frightened
her. and she fastened to put the fin
ishing touches to her toilet.
In the kitchen Mrs. Chaplin trotted
back and forth from table to range,

that were to form a part of the even
She in her turn was worried and
nervous. She had not had a pleas
ant afternoon with her husband, and
her thoughts were busy with what
he had said to her.
In the first place, he had told her
of his having discharged Sulov Ia
LAX. This bit of information was
hardly necessary, for she had heard
some of his orders and imprecations
before she saw Talak crossing the
meadow back of the barn, his head
bent in depression or sullenness.
She had thought that he was go,
seen him creep back and disappear
in the direction of the stable. At
that time Amos was resting in the
liVingroom. and she did not tell him
that the discharged farmland had re-
turned.
Instead she had waited until her
husband fell asleep. Then she had
crept out upon tour of investiga-
ton. She was not afraid of the Pole.
She had always been kind to him.
and he had never been uncivil to her.
Moreover. she felt quite able to pro-
tect herself.
Going into the dusky fecesses of the
barn. she called the man softly but

No answer came. He had probably

between her and the pine woods to the

Across the most distant of these

like a fish out of water. He feels
decidedly uncomfortable.
1t is really painful to be self-con-
scious. And it is an injustice to
children to allow them to grow up
with this habit.
Overcome it by all means. You
can if you use the right method.
One mother writes to me:
Our five-year old daughter tries
to keep herself hid whenever we
have company. How can we over
come her bashfulness?
Your daughter very likely has had
some unpleasant experience with
visitors.
To overcome this, begin by get
ting her interested in playing, Wis
iting" with you when alone. You
can easily do this by letting her
dress up in some old long dress of
yours and let her play the part of
both visitor and hostess in turn. In
this playful way, you can accustom
her to different points in social Gus
tom, ignorance of which very often
is cause of timidity. Play visiting
several times before you insist up
on her taking active part in enter

1t is a good idea always to help
her out when visitors come by max
ing little tactful expressions yourself
when necessary. BY being tactful
is meant that you should put the
emphasis upon some interesting
play, activity or object apart from
the little girl herself. 1t is eXas-
perating to have anyone ask her

questions about herself when she

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

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
demic in 412 b. c. which is regarded
by many to have been influenza.
Every century has had its attacks.
Beginning with 1881, this country
has had five epidemics, the last in
1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic
influenza itself has a very low per-
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out of every four hundred
cases, according to the n. c. Board
of Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising. attacking prin-
cipally, patients in a run down con-
dition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.
Grippe. or influenza as 1t is now
called, usually begins with chill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
n general feeling of weakness and
from 100 to 104, and the fever
usually lasts from three to five days.
The germs attack the mucuous men,
brane, or lining of the air passages
nose, throat and bronchial tubes
there is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night. often times
a sore throat or tonsilitis, and fire.
ouently 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
others-take a purgative, eat plenty
of nourshing food, remain perfectly
aGuiet and don't worry Quinine,
9sprin or Dover's Powder, etc, may
be administered by the physician's
directions to relieve the aching.
But there is no cure or specific for
inf1unza-the disease must run its
course. Nature will throw off the
attack il only you keep up your
strength. The chief danger lies
in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the
bodily resistance that there is dan
ger of pneumonia or bronchitis de-
veIoping, and sometimes inflamma-
4ion of the middle ear, or heart
---ections. For these reasons. 1t 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 IL you are over so OF
rot strong, stay in bed four days
or more. according to the severity OF
the attack.

witty which fills her thought and
makes her enjoy herself.
Never under any circumstances
suggest to your daughter how timid
she is. Never make fun of her.
This simply would give her the i'm
her. Do not, on the other hand,
talk about how brave she is. The
better way is simply to put the
whole emphasis upon the fun she
will have or has had with some
visitor.
Appear at all times to be very
much interested in visitors. Plan
for their reception. Talk about the
good time you will have with them
beforehand. When the visitor
comes, have your daughter bring in
her most beautiful doll and doll
clothes. Direct the talk yourself into
proper channels.
Remember, your daughter is go
ing to watch you very closely. 1t
therefore is essential for you to, be
calm and composed at all times
when in company. Do not let any
thing excite you. Take your time.
This really will mean more to your
daughter than anything else.
Some mothers make the mistake
of trying to sympathize with their
children by telling them they used
to have the Same trouble. But this
suggestion does more harm than
good. Simply don't talk about the
bashful trait at all.
The better way is to keep talking
about the positive idea of making
others happy and having a good
| time while with them. Continue
this plan and the habit of self-con-
seriousness gradually will disappear.
