CALL A PHYSICIAN-GO TO BED-STAY QUIET
 -DONT WORRY.

ThereiS no Occasion for Panic-Infiu-
 enza Itself Has a Very Low Per-
 centagc 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 Run Down Condition
 Those Who Don't Go to Bed
 Soon Enough, or Those Who Get
 Up too Early.
 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 epidemic in 412 B. c. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every cen- tury has had it's attacks. Beginning with 1881, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-9o.
 THE SYMPTOMS.
 Grip, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill fol- lowed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or 1in- ing of the air passa ges--nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is usual ly a hard cough, especially bad at night often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the ap- pearances 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 nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, As pirin or Dovers Powder, etc, may be administered by the physicians directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for in fluenza-the disease must run it's course, but nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily re- sistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these resaons, 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

 l folded the letter thoughtfully, and slipped it back into it's envelope, but l didn't hand it back to Lillian for a moment or two. l had the curious feeling that I must cling to something tangible with my fingers, so unreal and bizarre seemed this proposal of Robert SaVarin's to "search the world over" for Harry Underwood
 But after the first surprise of the proposal had passed, I saw that from his point Of view the artist was right. Hel couldn't wait supinely," as he himself had put it, for fate to reveal herself, That way madness lay.

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Through this arrangement, the necessity of staging two campaigns during the Christmas season has been avoided, since the tuberculosis aSsO citation has agreed to cooperate with the Red Cross in it's Christmas Roll Call.
 Each Red Cross member. however, will be awarded ten Christmas seals enclosed in a small folder which will contain educational matter regarding tuberculosis. The Red Cross war council, following conferences and letters between Henry P. Davison, it's chairman, and Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, mana ging director of the tuberculosis association, voted to endorse the plan at it's last. meeting.
 We are deeply sensible of the special importance at this time of all health work" wrote MT. Davison to pr. Hatfield, "and particularly of the effort put forth in the prevention and cure of tuberculosis and in the edu- cation of the public thereto.
 '"The action of the War Council is prompted by the sincere desire to in sure, so far as may be, the maintep- ance and development of your work during the coming year, rather than to have it's support contingent upon the usual sale of Christmas seals at time when, however worthy the cause, the country is being asked to consider so many important appeals to it's sympathies and resources.
 We are entering into this arrange ment as a wartime measure, and specifically for the year 1919. We can in good time consider what will be best for succeeding ycars'
 Tn replying to MT. DaVison, Dr. Hat. Geid stated that the arrangement was entirely satisfactory to the tuber- CulosiS association.
 "Of the men who have been sent by draft boards to camps and can- comments, already more than 16,O0O have been returned to their homes because of tuberculosis" he contin- ued, they and their families must be sought out and taken care of.
 All of this work must be done by civilian agencies. In view of these facts, we believe that the War Coun- cil of the Red Cross has taken step of even greater importance than the organization of the splendid Red Cross work for sufferers from tuberculosis in France and Italy. By energetic ac- tion we shall certainly avoid the ter TibIc raNages brought upon some of the European countries by tuber- culosis in time of war.
 The National Association and it's affiliated organizations will throw themselves energetically into the Red Cross Christmas roll call, especially as this year the appeal for Red Cross l memberships is joined with our usual Christmas Tuberculosis campaign. Every man and woman in the country who is not in active service l must be induced to enroll in the Red ! Cross"

 Battling for Love.
 That I love you, you know, how much, you can never know; l myself can no more measure it than l could gauge the strength of the torrent in the valley below me. And that you love me-ah! my dear, while life shall last, nothing, not even yourself, can take away from me that knowledge which you so royalty gave me when last I saw you. Indeed, were l century dead my ears would quicken to hear you say it once more.'
 1nvoluntarily l raised my eyes from the closely written pages and looked at Lillian. This was revelation of a passage in her life which l had sus- pected, but of which she had never told me, although I knew that she cared for Robert Savarin, and the artist had conf1ded to me long ago his love for my friend. But that they had revealed themselves so fully to each other, I hadn't dreamed. And-I was a bit puzzled~-indeed, disappointed in Lillian, that she should show even to me so intimate an outpouring of her suitor's heart
 She caught my thought in an in stant as her eyes met mine, and hot flush crept over her face.

Why Lillian Gave Madge Robert Sa-
 yarin's Letter to Read.

My Dear" wrote Robert Savarin and as the two expressive words met my eyes they br6ught me swift visualization of the brilliant artist re- cluse in his Catskill mountain studio. His finely cut features, bronzed by the sun of his loved mountains, his brown hair, so heavily streaked with silver as almost to have lost it's claim to the appellation "brown," and his great brown eyes with the touch of melan- choly born of his long mental illness, seemed almost to be in the room with us, so vividly did I picture them.
 1T am counting upon the divine charity which I know is yours," the quaint, old-fashioned phraseology ran on, ito forgive this letter, which I know disregards your wishes as ex- pressed to me the last time I saw you. But I can no longer remain either silent or inactive while this awful un- certainty hangs over our heads.

 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
 In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier Vick's VapoRub will be found effect i've. Hot, wet towels should be ap- piled over the throat chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickIy and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors. inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts af- fected. At the same time, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
 HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
 Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact chiefly through coughing, sneezing CT 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
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
 Above all, keep free from colds, as colds, irrttate 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 a cold. For head cold, melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea kettle. Fill 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.
 NOTE: Vick's VapoRub is the dis covery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Mentho1 and Camphor with such essential oils as Eucalyptus, rhyme, Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve Is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated ill the form of vapors.
 VapoRuo Is comparatively new in New York, New England and few western states, where it is just now being introduced. In other sections of the country, however, it is the standard home remedy in over a million homes for all forms of cold than six million jars were sold last year.
 It Is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, since it is externally applied and, therefore, can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects. Vapo- Rub can be had in three sizes-30c soc. $1.20-at all druggists.

PADS AND FASHIONS

There are many frocks of blue serge and those trimmed with Her. cules braid are the very newest.
 striking cape is made of black satin, lined with white satin, and has a huge collar of monkey fur.
 A smart purse is of navy blue mor- occo leather, lined with tan moire silk. and has a clasp of silver.
 The straight frocll of jersey may be simplicity itself, but it should have somewhere a touch of richness.
 Even when it is fashionable to wear the hair parted, don't wear 1t that way unless it is becoming to you.
 A brilliant red skirt, a white wool sweater and black tassels wherever and whenever possible make a charming sports costume.

CONDITIONS IN NICARAGUA.

just wrote letter to e. a. Wright,
my companion to Nicaragua, SO I will
also write you few words, as be-
lieve you will be interested in hearing
from me as to my impression Of the
country during my recent trip there
to inspect some land Of yours. And
must say that I enjoyed the trip i'm
mensely, and for the last two years I
have studied considerable about Mica
ragua, and found the reports correct.
The rich soil, the abundance Of rain
fall, and the warm sun do make things
grow there in profusion, and while
there the climate was delightful. and
seeing opportunity spelled in natures
terms, on every hand, nor can 1t be too
often repeated that wealth is in store
there, in Nicaraguan lands, the luxur-
liant growth of everything insures
yields, and big returns from the sales
of products.
Where the land Is undeveloped it is
a solid growth Of bamboo, palms, etc.,
An indescribable jungle of vegeta-
ton. l noticed, however, that where
! it was cultivated it was easily kept
clean, especially il planted to bananas.
AT one place, without moving from the
spot, counted twelve punches of
nine hands and over Of bananas ready
for cutting, and the stems were about
twenty five feet high. It seems to me
that to invest in land there would be
no risk; it is only a question of how
a profit can be made on it, and that
will greatly depend on the manage
ment, the same there as even here in
Goodhue County, the garden spot of
Minnesota, and here we only get one
crop year, while there where there
Is no winter to stop the work, but
planting, cultivating, and harvesting,
can be kept up practically all the time,
it ought to make a difference, and
did not hesitate to recommend the
purchase of the 1000 acre tract to my
| friend, E. J. Holmes of this city, after
had inspected the same, and do not
think he will ever regret it. While we
camped at the BOSNIAN Falls told my
companions that right there ought to
be located city and the Falls har-
messed to furnish power, and then if
the railroad which was talked of came
there it would be a desirable place to
live. And it would stir up a fine bust
ness and develop the land, and this
land being right close by and fine ele-
walton and everything that could be
desired.
| would like to take another trip on
the Escondido and the Emperator to
the land of Palms and summer
With best wishes, remain
