KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.

Above all, avoid colds, as colds irritate
the lining of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places for the
germs.
Use Viek's VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. For q head cold, melt a
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale
the yapors, or, better still, use VapoRub
in benzoin steam kettle. If this is not
available, use an ordinary tea kettle.
FIJI 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 arising.
N0TE-Vick's VapoRub is the discov-
cry Of North Carolina druggist, who
found how to combine, in saIve form,
Menthol and Camphor with such volatile
oils at Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc,
50 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 druggists. While
comparatively new in certain parts of
the North, it is the standard home rem
edy in the South and West for all forms
of cold troubles over six million lars
were sold last year VapoRub is particu-
.arly recommended for children's Group
or colds, as it is externally applied and
can, therefore, be used freely aud often
without the slightest harmful effects

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.

Evidence seems to prove that this is a
germ disease, spread principally by hui
man contact, chiefly through coughing,
sneezing or splitting. So avoid persons
having colds which means avoiding
crowds common drinking cups, roller

by plenty Of exercise in the open air,
and good food.

THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms ia
purgative, eat plenty of nourishi

Go to bed at the first symptoms take
purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Nature herself is the only "cure'
for influenza, and will throw off the at
tack if only you conserve your strength.
A little Quinine, Aspirin or Doyer's Pow
der may be given by the physicians di-
rections to allay the aching. Always call
doctor, since the chief danger Of grip
is in it's weakening effect on the system,
which allows complications to develop.
These are chiefly pneumonia and bron-
chitis, sometimes Inflammation Of the
middle ear, or heart affections For these
reasons, it is very important that the pa
tient 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
severity of the attack

 Mir. Bayes has always been a very severe critic of his own pictures, anC one day, being dissatisfied with a large painting he had completed, he gave the canvas to the CharwOman to take away with her, telling her she could do what she liked with 1t.

HIS FAME MERITED
Appreciation of Bob" BUrdette
 Grows With the Years.
His Brand of Delicious Humor, Never Malicious, Had a Spontaneity That Fixed 1t in Mem-
 ory of Hearers.

The late Robert J. Burdette, better known the length and breadth of the land as Bob" Burdette, and chiefly famous because of his humorous lec' ture "The Rise and Fall of the Mus tache," which he used on the lyceum platform for nearly 30 years, had a spontaneity which was truly remark able.
 Sudden flashes of wit and humor cropped out constantly in his conyer' sation. Like other great American hu' moriSts, some of the best things that he said fell upon the ears of hand ful of friends and never found their way into print.
 In the afternoon of life he stunned himself on the porch at "Eventide, his restful home at ClifftOn-by-the-Sea, It was from there that he penned these lines to an intimate friend:
 "Here I am in dry dock, waiting for the Great Builder to give me gen, eral overhauling. My boilers appear lO Dt buLuGl oul' dALN AN'N AN' grates in my firebOx. Guess the old engine is about played out, but maybe we can tinker it up so that it will make few more trips. Seems as though my switchboard had been struck by lightning. I have my good days and my bad days, but I lost count of them some time ago, and now can't tell them apart"
 His compliments were as graceful as they were pretty. One day he over heard a party of young matrons dis cusSing dress goods.
 "I don't like the new figured pat. terms, Doctor Burdette," exclaimed one of the young women. DO yOuT
 "It might have been the part of wis dom for the humoriSt to have agreed with her, but by so doing he might have disagreed with her companions so he sldestepped the issue, and paid the lady a deliciOusIy subtle cOmpli' ment by replying:
 "Oh, I don't know. I should con- slider them very good If they all con tained as pretty a figure as the one iD the gown that you are wearing"

HRI1e and Pick.U

Few reglmental badges are so sig nificant as the "Rifle and Pick" of the pioneer battallons. Unlike the labor battalIOns, which work behind the line, the pioneers are right up at the front, and are often digging trenches or wiring in No Mans Land. They are also regarded as a reserve of infantry for their division, are put through intensive training prior to a push" and are often called upon to take over" from an infantry bat talion in the front line. It is, indeed, difficult to say which is their chief weapon-the rife or the pick.
