A Mask Is as Good as a Mile

Although we call Aem "commol
colds" the various nose and throat In
fections which prevail so widely In the
glorious Springtime. the truth is. as
every doctor knows, that these all
ments are not caused by cold weather
or cold air or anything like that They
are caused by our loving friends. We
catch cold" In precisely the same
way that we catch diphtheria, by ex
posure to q previous case in another
person.
Here 10 a little lesson which should
Be taught every child In School:
livery COLD 10 CAUSED BY A
TRANSFER or GERMS FROM
ONE PERSON TO AN
OTHER.
How are the germs transferred Oh
that is easy enough. The open-face
sneeze does the trick. The unmuzzled
cough does it. A kiss will do IL a.
sure as shooting.
Careful scientific tests have repeat
ediy shown that when we sneeze
cough, laugh or talk without holding
o handkerchief over the nose and
mouth, fine. invisible spray Of salivs
or secretion from the nose is given off
and this spray carries, as a rule, for
some four or five feet from the face.
Therefore, II a susceptible person sits
or stands within five feet from the pa
tient who has simple cold" or a sim
pie sore throat, and the patient
sneezes or coughs openly. the fine
droplets Of moisture may carry direct
ly to that susceptible persons nose OF
mouth, and tomorrow the victim VII
discover that he has been foolish
enough to leave off his overshoes Or
sit In q draft or something like that
At any rate, by tomorrow the germs
have got him, and he has some kind
Of alleged cold"
Now, II every mothers son and
fathers daughter of US were conscien
tious enough and polite enough TO muE
Gle the mouth and nose when sneez
ing or coughing. with handkerchief
folds OF cloth. or even the hand II
there isn't time to get out these other
things, why, the patient with cold
would not be a menace to all his as
scciates.
In well-conducted hospitals for men
nights. diphtheria. scarlet fever, pneu-
monia and other diseases known to be
spread through discharges from nose

ITEMS FROM SALEM

Mr.. Walter r. Fleming, of Camp
Pike, Ark, paid a brief visit to home
folks near Idayille the first of the
week.
DR.. George B. Brown, Of Idaville,
left Saturday for TT. 0glethorpe, Ga,
to take up work in the army. DR..
Brown was recently commissioned a
lieutenant in the medical corps.
Miss Belle Pressly, principal of the
Robson high school, returned last
week preparatory to reopening the
school. The influenza epidemic has
abated considerably in the neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. ]. G. Mccain and daughter,
Mrs. Geo. B. Brown, spent last week
end in Memphis.
Mrs. L. A. Winburn, Of Rosemark,
visited relatives in our neighborhood
last week,
Mr.. P. D. Moore and family, of Mt.
Carmel, worshipped with US at Salem
last Sabbath. His many friends in
this community we're glad to have him
in their midst again.
On account of an "acute shortage"
in escorts, our Young Peoples Chris
tian Union has changed its time of
meeting from 7:30 Sabbath evening
to $3.50 in the afternoon. Next Sab
bath afternoon is the regular time
for its meeting.

Gripping or Pain. Guaranteed.

The organs of digestion, assimila-
ton and elimination--the stomach,
liver and bowels--are closely allied.
and the proper action of any OF these
organs Is largely dependent upon the
correct functioning of all the others.
"Whlpping your liver into action
with caloInel or forcing your bowels
With irritating laxatiyes or strong
o-.tAartics is great mistake. A bet
ter, safer plan is strengthening and
toning the whole digestive and elimina-
tive system with Natures Remedy
(NR Tablets, which not only brings
immediate relief, but genuine and last
ing benefit. 1t acts on the stomach,
liver, bowels and kidneys, improves
digestion and assimilation, oyercomes
biliousness, corrects constipation and
quickly relieves sick headache.
Get your system thoroughly cleansed
and purified for once; stomach, liver
and bowels working together in Wig
orous harmony, and you will not have
to take medicine every day--just take
one Mr. Tablet occasionally to keep
your system in good condition and al
ways feel your best. Remember 1t is
easier and cheaper to keep we'll than
It is to get well
Get q Csc box and try 1t with the
understanding that 1t must give you

HOW TO SEND CHRISTMAS
BOXES TO BOYS OVERSEAS

Nothing should go into a Christ
mas parcel that will not keep fresh
from the time of packing until Christ
mas.
Dried fruits and other food prod
ucts should be packed in small tin
or wooden boxes, one-quarter to one
half pound size.
Hard candy, including chocolate,
would probably be safe in tin foil
or heavy cardboard, but no soft chloe
olates nor anything that could pos
sibly be crushed should be used, as
the remaining contents of the pack
age might be spoiled thereby.
Several dainties packed in oblong
tin boxes holding each quarter Of
a pound win provide better vari-
ETY. for a packet than larger guam
tity of a single confection.
No liquids nor articles packed in
glass should be placed in the pack
age.
For wrapping the gifts, use a
khaki colored handkerchief, n inches
square
When the package has been packed
it should be taken, unwrapped and I'M
sealed, together with the label and
sufficient stamps, to the nearest col
lection center designated bv the Red
Cross. After the package has passed
the inspection of the Red Cross rep
resentatives as to contents and
weight, and then wrapped in stout
paper, the Christmas label bearing
the address of the man for whom it
is intended is placed on it. The per-
son sending the package, in the pres
ence Of the Red Cross worker, is re-
quired to affix stamps sufficient to
carry it to Hoboken, N, ]. The postal
charges are to be at the rate of fourth
class or parcel post zone rate. A
label certifying that the inspection
has been completed by the Red Cross
is placed on the package, which is
left in the custody of the Red Cross
until delivered to the postal author
tiles.

Of which when a man drinks he will
never thirst again.
If you could have been with our
"Y7 men during the recent plague
which swept our camps you would
rave marked the joyous light in their
faces, the ripple Of smiles and feebly
waving hands as they passed through
the wards.
Tell Mother
One day when the plague was at
its worst, we stood between two cots.
On the left was great, strong man.
The death dew was on his brow. He
knew the end was near, and was Civ
ing US tender messages for his wife,
and two babies, one of whom he had
never seen. His home was in Florida.
On my right was a lad of about TWEEN
ty with light, curly locks; a hand
some boy, somebody's darling. He
held my hand while waiting to speak
to me. l felt his cold grasp relax.
and turned just in time to see his lips
move feebly and catch the words,
"Tell Mother" He was gone. Oh,
mother in PARKWAY Maine, how i
would like to have caught the mes
sage and sent It to you. But better
still is our ability to point the dying
men to the Lamb of God who alone
can save. What thrilling experiences
we often have in leading these dear
boys to the Saviour, or leading those
back to the fold who have strayed
away; to watch the light break in
their faces, like the dawn Of a new
day after a night Of storm.
Will You Do II Now?
In these days Of the ending and
beginning; the ending Of the bloody
carnage and rehabilitation; the be-
ginning of the reconstruction of the
new world. In this colossal task
the "Y" will need more men, and the
best men, to conserve what has been
done, and complete that already be-
gun. The work demands the biggest
and best men in the land. We have
many such who are giving themselves
without reserve, and many of the best
receive a smaller compensation than
they did in civilian life,
With shout let us put this "oyer
the top" Help make this the most
campaign in the history
of the uplift Of mankind and the glory
Of God. Make your offering before
you eat or sleep again. Thank you.

TRIBUTE TO ROBERT HINDMAN

AS was recently stated in these
columns, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. G. Hind
man, of the Brighton neighborhood,
received a message a short time ago
telling of the sad death of their only
son, James Robert, on October Z, Ell
their on board transport or over
seas
Since the writer had the privilege
of being closely associated with Reb-
ert Hindman since our early child
hood, as a playmate, as a schoolmate
and as a "chum," feel that it is only
my duty at least to pay brief trib-
ute to his memory now.
Robert, who was a little more than
q years old at the time of his death,
left home for Camp Wadsworth, S.
c., on September 6. A few weeks
later he started overseas, and it is
supposed soon contracted pneumonia,
which resulted in his death.
AS / knew him, and / feel sure
that / knew him well, Robert was
an affectionate, obedient son, a Chris
tian young man of the highest type,
quiet and retiring, but kind, thought
full and generous, always ready to
accommodate, and alwoys a loyal
friend | know of no young man
who is living a cleaner, nobler, purer
life than did Robert. And now my
heart goes out in sympathy to the
bereaved parents, and besides this /
feel keen sense of personal loss,
the loss Of a dear friend.
Robert has "done his Bit" He has
given his life for his country, for
humanity, and as we believe, for
his God; and not every one has such
a life as his to give. Now it seems
that all we can do is to cherish
the sweetest sort--and to look forward
when he was with us-mine are of
the sweetest sort--and to loo forward
to the time when we shall meet him
in heaven by living, as he did, in ac-
cordance with these words of William
Cullen Bryant:
$50 live that when thy summons
comes to join
The innumerable caravan, which
moves
To that mysterious realm; where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls Of
death,
Thou go, not like the quarry-slave
at night,
Scourged to his dungeon; but sus-
tanned and soothed
BY an unfaltering trust, approach
thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery Of
his couch
About him, and lies down to pleas
ant Dreams" M.
