getting breakfasts"
Mrs. Miller" Martha Chaplin ex-
planned II went down just now and
had a talk with her. 1t seems that
Mr.. Butler asked Mr.. Miller to let his
wife come over here and do for us
until you and me are feeling real good
again. So she's' arranged to stay on
for several days"
That's very kind" Elizabeth NUT
tered.
She had slept SO heavily and was
so faint from lack of food that her
brain worked slowly. She recalled as
in dream the happenings of last
night And she shrank from dwelling
on them.
Seeks Butler in Vain
Yet as she bathed and dressed the
haze lifted from her mind and one
by one each incident of the afternoon
and evening stood out clearly.
Was John asleep? Had the Sheriff
been here yet? What had the Coroner
said? She must get downstairs as
soon as she could and ask her lover
these questions.
But when she entered the dining
room he was not there. Mrs. Miller
was, and Mrs. Chaplin introduced her,
seating herself at the table as she
did so.
"Elizabeth. my dear, this Is our
neighbor. Mrs. Miller" she said.
"Pieased to meet you" Mrs. Miller
smiled. az remember seeing you when
l first came to this place to live, just
after my marriage. But 1 guess you

small child then"

Eiizabeth noticed that the widow
looked pale and nervous, and she
changed the current of the conversa-

! Elizabeth Wade awoke from a
heavy sleep. The sun was shining
feebly through the drawn curtains.
The light from the night lamp had
burned itself out.
( The girl sat up and tried to recol-
lect how she happened to be here.
gHer neck was stif and her back
Aached from having spent hours in a
asitting posture,
AS her eyes fell on Martha Chapin's
bed she remembered what had hap
pened. But where was Mrs. Chaplin?
81 Rising stiffly from her chair, Eliza
beth started across the room just as
1.-The door opened and Mrs. Chaplin en-
tered, fully dressed.
= Good morning, dearie," she said
gently. II awoke at 6 o'clock, and
when I saw how you was sleeping 1

questioned.

Little boys never hurt anybody.
They simply like to have fun, so
the best thing to do is just to laugh
with them. That way, you see, you
have just as much fun as they do"
Change the subject in a natural
way at this point. The next day,
do not ask in particular whether the
boys teased him because this would
put unnecessary emphasis upon the

TONALL IS Still

Kate f. Smith, of Annville, Leba-
non county. Pa, is the latest to join
the host of users in praise of the
Tfnerits of Tonall. She says:

he had overslept?' It was not like
him not to be present at a time when
he must know she would be nervous.
She thought of the form lying in
the darkened room ACROSS the hall
and felt suddenly sick and very much
alone. She must not seem eager
about John. Mrs. Miller was watch
ing her and might suspect her anxiety
If she asked questions about him.
Yet she must find out how and where
he was. happy inspiration came to
her. ;,
"When I went upstairs last night" "
she remarked, casually. "Mr. Miller
was here. Has he gone home2'
yes" the wife, nodded. He had
matters to attend to on our farm,
You You see. So 1 fixed him up little
breakfast real early and he drove
back home"
Eiizabeth's ruse had not proved
successful. She must try again.

she cared about was his safety.

come across them.
Since this Child naturally has more
of nervous temperament than the
Iaverage child, frequent association
with some child of a little differ
ent type would be a good thing.
Some parents, instead of helping
the child, actually make him more
unhappy by telling him he ought. to
be ashamed to let other boys run
over him. This simply causes him
to confide less in his parents and
certainly desn't help his timidity.

Quick, Painless Way to
Remove Hairy Growths

rid the skin of Objectionable hairs:
With some powdered delatone and
water make enough paste to cover
the hairy surface, apply and in about
two minutes rub off, wash the skin

This is quite harmless. but to avoid
disappointment be sure to get the

yet would not wish to be forward in

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 Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of cold. For head cold,
melt q little VapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle.
If this is not available, use an ordi-
nary teakettle. Fill half-fu1l of
boiling water, put in half teaspoon
of VapoRub from time to time-keep
the Kettle Just slowly boiling and inc
hale the steam arising.
NOTE-Vick's vapoRub is the
discovery of a North Carolina drug
gist, who found how to combine, in
salve form, Menthol and Camphor
with such volatile oils as Eucalyp-
tus, Thyme, Cubebs,. ETC., SO 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 drug
gists. While comparatively new in
certain parts of the North, 1t is the
standard home remedy in the South
and West for all forms of cold trou-
bles-over six million jars were sold
last year. VapoRub is particularly
recommended for children's Group or
colds, as it is externally applied and
can, therefore, be used freely and
often without the slightest harmful
effects.

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE

y Spanish Influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has swept over the
!, world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history runs. Hippocrates
refers to an epidemic in 412
, sB. c. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every
century has had its attacks. Begin
: ming with 1881, this country has had
fye epidemics, the last in 18S9-90.
I THE SYMPTOMS
= Grip, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
Followed by aching, feverishness and
4 sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
III general feeling of weakness and
depression. The temperature is from
4 Zoo to 104, and the fever usually
lasts from three to five days. The
germs attack the mucous membrane,
~ or lining of the air passages-nose,
throat and bronchial -tubes-there is
usually a hard cough, especially bad
Z. at night, often times a sore throat
'Sbr tonsilitis, and frequently all the
II appearances of a severe head cold.
Il a. THE TREATMENT
n Go to bed at the first symptoms
iAsake a purgative, eat plenty of nour-
ishing food. remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry. Nature herself is
the only cure" for influenza and
will throw off the attack if only you
Z-uonserve your strength A little
Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Powder
may be given by the physicians ai-
rections to allay the aching. Always
call a doctor, since the chief danger
of grip is in its weakening effect on
the system, which allows complica-
tlQns to develop. These are chiefly
- pneumonia and bronchitis, some-
( stames inflammation of the middle
YEAR. or heart affections. 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 If you are over
i 80 or not strong, stay in bed four
days or more, according to the Sc
f,Eerity of the attack.
III EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
80 In order TO stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
: grip germs, to aid in Ioosening the
phlegn1 and Keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing
easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found
effective. Hot, wet towels should
be applied over the throat, chest and
back between the shoulder blades to
: nuen the pores. Then VapoRub
should be rubbed in over the parts

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

There is no occasion for panic
influenza or grip 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
principally patients in a run down
condition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE

Evidence seems to prove that this
is germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking CUPS, roller towels, etc.
Keep up your bodily strength by
plenty of exercise in the open air,
and good food.
