flu when they go right from one house
to another without any precaution?"
Presume they figure that the flu can
not be carried in their clothing. |
assume also that the doctors keep
themselves refuged some way against
it. One can do much toward warding
off the germ if he will wash out his
nose, high up, and his mouth, three
or four times each day with warm
water in which is a decent quantity of
salt and common baking soda. Use
pint of it at each washing, and take
plenty of time, and don't try to blow
it out like sperm whale or a walrus.
Let it run out. l don't know what
doctor really does to escape the dis
ease, but since l have come to think
about it, they seem to- have it about
as often as any other equal number,
of human beings. When doctor
comes to see man with the flu, here
is one point always to be remembered,
the doctor gets pay and the man does
the paying. The doctor has the best
of the deal right from the start and
why sheuld he want to- take the flu?

unworthy to be poor and unfortunate,
then your question has some funda-

select some good man or woman in
the city and get them to be treasurer
in that particular case. All money
for that case is sent direct BY the con-
tributors to that treasurer. Then that
treasurer and myself go into the case
fully and spend the money just as
carefully as if it were our own, and
even more so, for if it were our own
it would be nobody's else business
what we did with it. | am so I'M
worthy myself that it makes me have
a kindred feeling for other un-

"Does God still heal diseases as he
once did and how can we get Him
to act in these days?" Pardon any
seeming harshness in this paragraph,
for your qeustion is legitimate, but
you have been listening to some pious
infidel scream about what God used
to do that he does not do now. To
carry out negative answer to your
question we would have to assume
that God has decamped. vamoosed,
skedaddled, rented out his earthly Of

never more clearly wrong. He is at
the steering wheel with, his foot on
the gas feed and his finger on the
throttle. He has the free-air pipe in
full blast, has two extra tires pumped
up to eight hundred pound pressure
on the rear and has his ear to the
ground listening for us poor human
being to call upon him when in
distress or sing to him with our
praises when in glee fix. There are
some things we never know until we
have tried it out; try praying once in
while

which law to obey. For example il

The bible says for us not to temp
