EARLY RECOGNITION OF sYMP
TOMS .

There are certain early symptoms Of
disease that every mother Of family
should know. In this time Of war,
regular nurses must take care of the
soldiers In the camps, here and In
France, and the women in the home
must look after the health Of their
own families US well as that Of their
neighb0rs.
Any intelligent person can recognize
certain early symptoms Of serious ILL
ness. such as fever. cough, changes In
the color Of the skin, eitheh too red

Mr.. Horace Hutchinson, the natu-
rslist, relates the story, told him by q
friend, of swan and a pike, living
on and In small piece of ornamental
water, becoming friendly. Wherever
the swan went the pike went too,
swimming alongside the bird. When
the swan went ashore, it is not re-
lated that the pike tried to follow, but
it Is said that he waited beside the
bunk, swimming up and down in a for
lorn, distracted way, until the swan
came back again. It was subject Of
some debate whether the swan return
ed the attachment, until the pike died,
and the swan was so overcome with
grief at his loss that he pinned away
and soon died also.

TALE Of SUPREME DEVOTION
Simple Expisrstlon Of Reason Why
Romance Of Abeiard and ,heloise Il
Will Never Die.

Romance never dies, for lovers ara
born each springtime and the heart
OF the world is always young.
And SO 1t is that to the modern thun-
Der Of the guns bombarding Scissors
Is set the tune Of an old, old romance
that has spun like gold-and-scarlet
thread through eight changeful cen
turtles. spun and spun, and lost none
Of its color, none Of its appeal. And
the story winds about the town Of
Scissors and ends in a crumbling old
tower dropping to its last decay. 4
And the romance was the tragedy
OF Abelard and Heloise, lovers who
have typified the passion Of devotion
to all the lovers Of the universe. The
story itself was not uncommop-the
love of teacher for his beautiful pu-
Pill, her winning and her undQing. The
tale Of Faust has the same harsh note
OF betrayal. But it is the supreme de-
votton Of Abelard and Heloise that
make them types; that, and the setting
OF the romance which ran through
Paris and other towns, and drew to
a close In the tower where Abelard
was prisoner of those prosecutors
who held his writings to be seditious.
His marriage to Heloise, his renunci-
alton of her, and the final taking, by
both Of them, of the vows that sent her
to nunnery and him to monastery.
all of this awaited him nothing. There
In the town Of Scissors, lighted now
by the blaze Of bursting shells, he was
compelled to burn with his own hand
his book in which was set forth the
"heresy" Of which he was accused.
What contrast between the feeble
light of that burning manuscript and
the flare OF. the battle we are waging
fol the liberties of the world!
And yet the burning of that book
was momentous event at the Sois-
sons council of ecclesiastics.
But Abelarl had been great teach
er, and all the country had throbbed
and thrilled with the serial story of
his romance with the beautiful He
loise. And SD, in the later years trav-
elers have turned aside from the beat
en- tracks and sought the old tower on
the outskirts of the French town for
a glimpse Of the prison where he Ian
guished. The steps were worn in
grooves by the thousands Of feet that
went as on pilgrimage to the shrine
of perfect love.
There today the guns roar and
the shells take their screaming
fiight-there at Soissons-but under

lead there spins on and on the gold

Farmhouses Modernized.

As farmhouses become adapted to
the taste of the women WHO are. in
so many cases, taking over their man
agement, it is found that many of the
old institutions of the farmhouse
the parlor, the many small ROOMS. the
dark halls-are disappearing. Parti-
lions are torn out to make spacious
living rooms; porches are added. and
everything is arranged for the utmost
convenience of the housekeeper who

health as far as safely possible on the
shoulders of the women in the home.
There is nothing so dangerous as
"amateur nursing" that is giving med
icine without the doctors orders, but
there are certain things she can safely
do for them when they are sick.
First of all don't be afraid of "catch.
ing" contagious disease. but take
proper precautions, and then believe
that you and your family will keep
well.
Remember that great number Of
communicable diseases are spread by
actual contact with the germ causing
them. These germs, as in the cases
of Influenza and pneumonia, are ex-
PEELED into the air when the sick per-
son coughs. sneezes, talks forcibly or
carelessly expectorates.
When you are near such a person
protect yourself by placing your hand
kerchief over your mouth and nose.
When you cough or sneeze, whether
sick or well, protect your neighbor by
covering your own mouth and nose.
Avoid crowds and stay out in the
open air as much as possible. .. Stay
away from poorly ventilated splaces,
such as moving picture theaters and
crowded cars. Don't visit your neigh
Dor with contagious disease unless
your services are needed. If you do
go, take proper precautions not to in.
hale the germ, and wash your hands
after touching the patient or anything
belonging to him.
Get plenty Of sleep; keep your bed
room windows wide open, but don't
let your body get chilled. Use extra
covering when necessary. Ignorance
and carelessness can spoil the best
living conditions, and sometimes,
even in the country. fresh air and sun
shine are excluded from sleeping and
living rooms. Keep the living room
well ventilated and not too warm.
Never use common drinking cups,
common towels, powder puffs belonging
to someone else, and, above all, keep
the hands clean. 1t is hardly pos
sible to overemphasize the Importance
Of keeping the hands clean.
The human hand is great carrier
e disease germs both to and from
the body. If unclean hands could be
kept away from the mouth especially
and washed before touching food, I
have no doubt that many diseases
might be avoided.

chanical means of preventing the
spread of contagion. 1t is reassuring
to know, however, that really well
person is in little danger of contract
ing a contagious disease, If he OBJ
serves reasonable precautions
a rundown condition, either from
overwork or worry, is dangerous be-
cause such a person more easily con-
tracts disease.
To stay well keep your body clean ;
use water and soap frequently; change
your clothes often, and wear wraps
suitable to the weather.
Don't take baths that are either too
hot or too cold. Warm baths are the
best. Don't eat too much food, but
drink plenty of water-at least three
plnts day.
If you are unable to be out Of doors
part OF the day open the windows from
time to time and breathe good fresh
air into your lungs.
Observance of these few simple
rules will lessen the danger of CON
tracing disease

called Spanish influenza, the symp-
toms include feeling of weakness,
pains In the eyes. ears, head or back
and feeling of being sore all over.
The rise in temperature Is rapid, but
In most cases the pulse remains com.
parntively slow. II you have a ther.
mometer, and know how to use 1t, you
will find the temperature rises to 100
or 10 degrees. In the case Of children
1t sometimes rises higher.
The mouth temperature Of a healthy
person is between 90 degrees and 80.
This may vary according to the time
of the day. 1t Is not unusual for the
mouth temperature of healthy per
son to be as low as 81 degrees in the
morning, or as high as 90 in the late
afternoon. The presence Of fever Is
an indication of sickness, and should
be watched.
The pulse rate of normal man at
rest is about u beats q minute; that
of normal woman about 80 beats a
minute. To take the pulse rate, place
three fingers (not the thumb) on the
thumb side Of the patients wrist and
note the exact time by the second
hand of the watch.
Any unusual changes in the face
should be especially noted; whether it
Is drawn, anxious, excited, dull and
tired, swollen or puffy under eyes. The
voice is frequent indication of weak
ness. Absence Of appetite, loss fof
weight, extreme nervousness should
also be watched. and, If taken in time,
may prevent more serious trouble.
Pain is most important symptom
and should never be treated lightly. 1t
does not occur in persons who are
well. 1t is natures danger signal.
A great many serious diseases begin
in this way, so, If someone in your
family has these symptoms, put him to
bed, shut out the bright light-this
does not mean that the room should be
dark-have plenty of fresh air in the
room and keep away visitors and other
members of the family.
Persons are not always able to go
to bed for an ordinary cold, but there
is no doubt that they would. in the
end, save time by so doing.
Common colds sometimes spread
through an entire family, when they
could have been prevented by going
to bed, and keeping other members Of
the family away.
Common colds are most contagious
when they first start. One should
avoid being near person who shows
signs Of getting a cold. by sneezing,
coughing or any discharge from the
nose. This will lessen the danger of
contracting the more serious diseases
like grippe, Influenza and pneumonia,
mild cases Of which may, at first, be
mistaken for an ordinary cold.
When possible. call doctor the mo-
ment the person begins to feel sick
then follow his directions absolutely.

ORIGIN OF WORD "ROORBACK"
Name Given to First Notable Cam
paign Lie, of Which James K.
Polk Was the Victim.

In 1914 James X. Polk was nomi-
mated by the Democrats for president.
After the nomination the Albany Jour
nal published what purported to be
an extract from R0orback's Journal
of a trip through the South, repre-
scented to have been made some few
years before, in which he told of see
ing a gang of cOlored men being driv-
en- to the southern market, all branded
u. X. r" as the property of James X.
Polk, The object was to stigmatiZe
Polk as a heartless slave owner. The
publication was resented by the Demo-
Gratis as q forgery and a libel on their
candidate, and so it proved to be, for
it turned out that there was no such
person as Roorback and that the pre-
tended letter was written by Il disrep-
utable politician of New York who
posed as an abOlitiOnist. The incident
caused much hard feeling and the
word roorback became a synonym for
n campaign lie.
