The battle was too strong and he be-

wanted to let you know what an honor

YOU might tell the fairies about Us.

we're happy because of our story.

end of the book-rack. We're So de-
lighted because for years we've been
considered very vain. We have beau

out and strut about and show them
off. We know our tails are lovely,
and the co!ors of our feathers very
wonderful.
".No wonder then. that we want TO
show them to the whole world. We
think they enjoy beautiful things and
so we show off our tails. But do they
appreciate them? Not for Il moment
Well maybe that's bit harsh. They
do think our tails are beautiful, I've

Robert Allison, Mattoon, ILL.,, writes
that when she first moved to Mat
toon she was a great sufferer from
indigestion and constipation. Food
distressed her and there was a feel
ing like a heavy weight pressing on
her stomach and chest. She did not
rest well at night, and felt worn out
a good part of the time. One bottle
of Chamberlain Tablets corrected
this trouble so that she has since felt

SPANISH INFluENzA-A new NAME
FOR An OLD FAMILIAR DISEASE
Simply the Same Old Grip That Has Swept
Over the World Time and Again. The
Last Epidemic in the United
States Was in 1889-9O

VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting
the blood to the surface, and
thus aids in relieving the con-
gestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
There is no occasion for panic
influenza or grip has a very
low percentage 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 a run down condition
those who don't 60 to bed soon
enough, or those who get up too
early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that
this is a germ disease, spread
principally by human contact,
chiefly through coughing, sneez-
ing or splitting. So avoid per-
sons having colds, which means
avoiding crowds-common drink
ing 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, avoid colds, as
colds irritate 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 a
head cold, melt a little VapoRub
in a spoon and inhale the vapors.
or better still, use VapoRub in q
benzoin steam kettle. II this is
not available, use an ordinary
tea-kettle. Fill half-full Of boil
ing water, put in half a teaspoon
of VapoRub from time to time
keep the kettle just slowly boil
ing and inhale the steam arising.
NOTE-Vick's vapoRub is the
discovery of a North Carolina
druggist. who found how to COM
bine, in salve form, Menthol and
Camphor with such volatile oils
as Eucalyptus. Thyme. Cubebs,
etc, so that when the salve IL ap-
piled TO the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the
form Of vapors. VapoRub can
be had in three sizes at all drug
gists. While comparatively new
in certain Darts of the North II
is the standard home remedy in
the South and West for all forms
Of cold troubles-over six mil
lion Jars were sold last year.
VapoRub is particularly recon-
mended for children's Group or
colds, as it is externally applied
and can, therefore, be used free
ly and often without the slight
est harmful effects.-Adv.
