Thinns Worth Knowing.

Guard within yourself that treas
ure kindness. Know how to give
without hesitation, how to lose with
out regret, how to acquire without
.meanness. Know how to replace
in your heart by the happiness of
those you love, the happiness that may
be wanting in yourself.-F. w. Faber.

Combs have been used In the toilet
since very ancient times. The Greek,
the Egyptian and the Roman ladies
used them to arrange and hold up

these were made Of wood, some Of
bone, Of horn or of ivory. Speci.

years.

there may be some cough. These signs

that in this disease the number of
white corpuscles shows little or no in

Ordinarily, the fever lasts from

deaths in the present epidemic has
generally been low, In some places the
have been numerous. When death oc-

It spread7
"BacterIologists who have studied In

Small rod-shaped germ called, after its
discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other
cases of apparently the same kind of
disease there were found pneumococci,
the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto-
cocci, and by others germs with long
names.
mo matter what particular kind of
germ causes the epidemic, 1t Is now
believed that influenza is always
spread from person to person, the
germs being carried with the air along
with the very small oplets of mucus
expelled by coughing or sneezing
forceful talking, and the like by one
who already has the germs of the dis
ease They may also be carried about
in the air in the form of dust coming
from dried mucus, from coughing and
sneezlng, or from careless people who

AS in most other catching diseases,

the disease himself may give very
severe attack to others"
What should be done by those Whe
catch the disease?
at Is very important that every per

should go home at once and go to bed
