pASC0, Wash, Feb. lS.--After making

Henry b. 0Brien, the city and county
physician, announces that he has isolated
the bacillus OF influenza If Dr. 0'Brien' 5

or cure influenza by incubation with a
serum prepared from the bacillus Of the

by incubation and smallpox by vaecina-
ton, scientists declare
Dr. OsBrien asserts that, as in typhoid
fever, discharges from patients suffering
from influenza carry the contagon, and
SO does contaminated drinking water He
says the bacillus Of influenza, which has
caused more than 100000 deaths in the
United States since last October, closely
resembles in every respect the germ of ty-
phoid fever and that Of tuberculosis. Thi.
resemblance may, he believes, account in
some measure for the similarity of the
symptoms in these three diseases, such as
growing weakness, headache, vague pains

The Kiss.
lBv Louise Morgan SILL

by Louise Morgan SILL
Last night had to 90 to bed
All by myself, my mother said,
Cause I'd been naughty all day through.
She wouldn't kiss me good night, too.
] didn't want to let her know
How much | cared bout that, and SO
] dropped my clothes right on the floor
A thing | never did before
And put each stocking in shoe
She just hates that-and didn't do
My hair, or wash my face, or brush
My teeth, and left things in squash
All round the room; and then took
Her picture and my fairy book
She gave me on my last birthday
In June, and hid EN- both away.
| put my fathers picture right
Up in the middle of the light
To show 'em just the way | feel
Cause he said Kiss the child Lucille,
Don't let her 90 to bed like this
Without your usual good might kiss"
But she just shook her head and turned
Her back, and then my eyes they burned
Like fire It's been horrid day .
And then, of course, didn't say
Ny prayers at all, but went TO bed
And wished and wished that / was dead.
Well, don't know just how it was,
For I'd been, halfway sleeping, cause
/ was so pletely tired out
When heard something move about
So quiet, and the next knew
The door moved back and she came
through
And put her arm around me so,
And said, whispering very low,
My poor, dear child, and was so sad,
And kissed me twice--Myl was glad.

DO YOU KNOW
HOW TO BUY?

Every housewife is her own pur-
chasing agent, and on her ability
to buy wisely depends much OF the
comfort and q great deal OF the
economy in the use Of the family
income.
Household supplies and tools are
her chief articles of purchase and
whether she spends q quarter for
starch or bluing. or many dollars
for an electric wash machine she
should know what to demand in
quality and price.
There are q few general rules for
good buying which ply to all pur-
chases.
/. Buy only from q reliable store
which carries goods of high stand
ard. and can be depended upon
for honest weights, size, measure,
and count. flesh goods, and best
qualities.
2. Make a study Of all the stores
before choosing any one-then keep
the best except for unquestionabie
bargains - which are rare.
3. Select all goods personally.
Never buy by written order or by
telephone unless you know the
store well and are known to the
clerk who flls the, order.
4. Examine all goods purchased
before leaving the store. and exam
Inc the duplicate sales or charge
check in order to correct errors at
once. Learn to watch the scales
for weight and the proper measure
ment Of fabrics. On reaching home
check up the amount quality. and
price of the goods bought, as ex-
perience in becoming a good buyS.
Keep the slips and enter the price
in the account books.
5. II possible buy standard neces-
stiles such as thread, pins. etc, at
special sales-but know the regular
price and quality and be sure you
are getting the bargain" adver-
tised.
6. Buy only the material and the
amounts needed and which can be
used. Material which takes stor-
age room and deteriorates with age
Is not q bargain.
Z. Be considerate and courteous
to clerks.

grains of sugar were scattered all
over the ground.
Tho bunny tried to pick up the tiny
grains Of sugar. But you know how

And. surely enough, the little Squig-

ant, and an ant Is the best picker up
Of sugar in the world. unless maybe
It's fly. Anyhow soon all the sugar
was picked up, and put in the bag

The promise for this day appears to
assure the success of a new American
literature in which the drama will be
conspicuous. A woman will win inter-
national fame.
Stars that increase mental and
spiritual vision will be so posted in
the coming year that statesmen as
well as poets will be led to great at
tainments.
Women have the forecast of su.
preme opportunities to aid the prog
ress Of the world, but they will work
along new lines not parallel to those
of men.
There is a sign believed to indi-
cato closer corporation among
farmers, who may institute some
thing in the nature of a strike, as
trologers predict, owing to some
legislation or other restriction.
In the new year social reactions
of various sorts will become appar-
ent. the seers declare, and the as
cendancy OF brains over Drawn will
again be demonstrated in industry.
One of the significant signs of
the times will be a new worship OF
truth and beauty. This recognition
