TIE FLU

When your back is broken and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsils squeak and your
hair gets dry,
And you're doggone shure that you're
going to die,
But you're slzeered you won't and
afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill;
And pray the Lord to see you through,
For you've got the flu, boy,
You've got the fu.
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes fat,
And you're twice as mean as a Thorn
as cat,
And life is long and dismal curse,
And all your food tastes like a hard
boiled hearse;
When your lattice aches and your
heads a-buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to you
You've got the flu, boy,
You've got the flu
What is it like, this Spanish fu?
Ask me, brother, for I've been through
It is by Misery out of Despair;
1T pulls your teeth and curls your
hair;
Trims your blood and brays your
bones;
And fills your craw with means and
grOans,
And sometimes, maybe, you get We'll

Queer Find at Porapeif.

A soap-boiler's shop was among the
things discovered in the excavation at
Pompeii several years ago. The city
was buried beneath volcanic ashes a.
D. 70. It is said that the soap found
in the shop had not lost all efficacy,
although it had lain under the ashes
more than 1900 years. Soap making
was quite a business in a number of
the Roman cities at the time that
Pompeii was destroyed.

! That passenger car owners have
adopted the suggestions recently made
by the war economy board of the ma
tional council OF defense to familiarize
themselves with the proper care of
their cas-, SO that they can not only
render first aid" to their cars without
depending on mechanics or service
men, but keep them 100 per cent me-
Chemically efficient, is the opinion Of
81. P. Branstetter Of a large aUtOmo-
bile concern, who adds: mo doubt
the increased use to which owners are
putting their cars, coupled with a
realization of the help they can render
the government by Tightening the load
on garage and repair shops, and de-
sire to economic as much as possible,
are the reasons.
"Once owners know the first princi-
pies Of automobile construction and
the proper care of the important me-
chanical units 4nd parts, they will find
that it is not hard nor difficult, and,
what is more, they usually develop a
pride in being able to keep their cars
in frst-class condition.
Learn fabrication.
"One of the first things the owner
should learn is how to keep his car
properly fabricated. Through the
adoption Of oil fabrication in place of
the grease-cup system, keeping the car
properly oiled is 10 longer the time
consuming bugaboo it used to be.
'rHow to apply the brakes without
skidding or burning the tires or brake
bands is another very important point
to learn. Proper imitation Of tires and
quick attention to breaks in the tire
tread should be watched for and rene
died Immediately.
"The adjustment Of the caTburetOr
is another item. If the owner will
take a ten-minute lesson at any car
buretor service station he will ind
that ID not only makes it easier to do
this work himself instead Of stepping
at a garage, but it will keep his motor
running smoother and more silently,
and at the same time reduce carbon
deposits and increase gasoliQc mile
age.
Save Strain on Mechanism.
Owners should make point OF
learning how to drive and handle their
cars on all kinds Of roads without ex-
cessive wear Oh the transmission and
springs and unnecessary strain on the
frame and axles- These first princi-
pies may sound a LITTLE difficult, but
they really are simple and practical
and become second nature in very
short time.
| The average overhauling or the re-
lpair job which consumes the repair
mans time and the drivers money, Is
directly traceable to an owners neg
Iect to take the proper care of his car
from the first day he owns it. Squeaks
should be stopped in the beginning
before they have developed, necessl-
tating constant watcl1fulness ana
