avoid persons having eoids-which
means avoiding crowds--common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty OF

Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign

little in spoon and inhale the vapors.

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 epi-
denies as far back as history runs.
Hlppocrates refers to an epidemic in
AZ B. c. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza Every cen-
tury has had its attacks. Beginning
with 1881, this country has had five
epidemics, the last in 1SS9-90.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it is now
called usually begins with a chill fol-
lowed by aching. fevershness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 104. and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lin
ing of the air passages-nose, throat
and bronchial tubes--there is usually
hard cough, especially bad at night,
often times 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 others--take
a purgative, eat plenty of nourishinB
food. remain perfectly quiet and don't /
worry Quinine. Aspirin or Dover's /

was the quick answer.
The speaker told of having watched
some observation balloons shot down
by a Hun aviator and of seeing the
observers come down with their par
achutes under fire. He thought il
would be a great thrill to step thus
from a balloon and a little later
while up in balloon for a ride sug-
gested to the pilot he would like to
step over. He was dissuaded how
ever, on the ground that he would
probably hurt his ankles in alightlng
and the pilot would be questioned as
to why he had taken a passenger up
with him. on alighting he remarked
to an officer that he had not stepped
out for the reason just mentioned.

his parachute harness on upside

Courage and dependability are the
religious traits most endorsed at the

they go over the top but they usually
