Presidents Fortunes.

The estate of 100000 left by Theodore Roosevelt
but for a president one of unusual size. 1t ranks
Mr. Roosevelt indeed probably the countrys rich
est chief executive since Washington, and the fact
has suggestive interest Many a ruler of a petty
public has become a multimillionaire, but no mil
lionaire has ever been president of the worlds
greatest and richest republic and this notwithstand
ing the altered scale of personal wealth under which
the comparative magnitude of an accumulation OF
81 000,0 900 has decreased.
The Roosevelt fortune was different, moreover in
being mainly an inherited fortune. It's possessor
may have added to it in his lifetime but as in the
of other presidents, most of his personal earn
ings in period Of forty years of public life were
absorbed in the support of his family. No other
president has ever enjoyed such advantages of re-
munerative publicity as Mr.. Roosevelt, and besides
his salary from official positions his income from his
books and from editorial must have been large
Yet it is fair inference that these had been the
sole sources of his support he wsld have died poor
map Cleveland died and also most of their prede-
ceesors in the White house.
This has been the common financial fate of presi-
dents, and the example of Mr. Roosevelt probably
merely proves the rule that the office OF president
is not economically productive in any logical proper

Complications and Fatality of
Influenza.

Influenza intelligently treated is
not a serious disease. 1t termin-
ates in recovery after about three
days of fever, as a rule.
The complications OF the disease
are serious, particularly pneumo-
MIA
What do l mean by intelligent
| treatment?
l mean, first, rest in bed. Right
here is where the patient or victim
of the disease too often makes his
| first mistake. He remains up and
about, trying to flight it off" And
mayhap Mrs. Camp encourages him
by telling yarns about similar cases
with sad endings in bed. Women,
as a rule, display more sense than
men about going to bed with such
an illness, although women can and
do generally endure much more
suffering than we do without COM
plant. At rest in bed the patient
is conserving energy to fight the
infection; he is not eXhausting or
gans which have overtime work to
90 destroying and eliminating the
poisons of the disease.
Second, fresh air throughout the
illness. That means, of course,
cool or cold air if it is available,
and never warmed-up air. Some
antiquated health official jumped
into print early in the recent cpl
demic with warning against fresh
air for influenza cases, which
pleased Mrs. Camp nightly. In
fluenza patients treated in tents do
better than those treated in in
closed sun parlors or in rooms with
open windows.
Perhaps the most foolish and
risky procedure for one coming
down with such an illness is ex-
Fermentation with alleged grippe,
or cold" cures. The pain-killer in
such medicines (acetanilide or fini-
lar coaltar derivature) destroys
red corpuscles in vast numbers,
interferes with the oxygen carry
ing function of the blood, seriously
weakens the heart and impairs the

germicidal or germ-fighting activ-
ity of the white blood cells. That
is a pretty stiff price to pay for
momentary relief of aches and
pains. There is no doubt that a
good deal of the pneumonia devel-
oping as a complication of influen-
"a is merely one Of the untoward
effects of indiscriminate self-drug-
ging in the earlier stage of the dis
ease. One who imagines any
known drug can break up" or cut
short such an infection as influenza
or indeed any respiratory infection,
has much more faith in drugs than
I have, and / have considerable
faith in drugs when one near and
dear to me is i'll. More efficient
and far safer for alternating the
early symptoms of so-called
grippe" or cold" is a hot mustard
foot bath administered to the pa
tient in bed.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a

You will outgrow having PIN

meantime you can better the con
dition by watching your diet close
ly. Do not eat rich or fried foods,
pastries or candy. Exercise a great
deal and sleep with your windows
wide open at night.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a
sister and / am older than she IS
Do you think she has any right 70

Use the parlor together. Your
family spirit should make you uni

There is nothing you can do. Tho
boy would come TO see you IL he
were still interested in you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: How many

wear on both hands?
SILLY BILLY.
Personally I think one or two
rings are prettler than several. To
wear several detracts from the
beauty Of any one. Too many Jew
els at once are not Good taste.

One man whispered to me a.
muster this morning that al he
could remember of his liberty was
checking out and checking in. He
looked unwell My old pal, Spike
Kelly, | hear was also out of luck
His girl was the skipper of a Four
teenth street crosstown car, so he
was forced to spend most of his
time riding, between the two riv-
ers. He nickled himself to death
in doing it. He said if Mr.. ShOnts
plays golf, as no doubt he does,
he has Spike" Kelly to thank for
a nice, new box of golf balls. And
while on the subject, Spike" OBJ
serves that one of those engaging
car signs should read:
is it gallantry, or the advent of
woman suffrage, or the presence
of the conductOrette that causes
so many sailors to wear out their
seats riding back and forth, and so
many unnecessary fares to be rung
up in so doing?"
His conversation with Name -
his light-o'-love, was conducted
along this line:
Yes, Name"

madam. What does tweetums

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
been married twelve years and have
three little children. 1 have had
reason to believe that my husband
was true to me and loved no one
else, but now / ann beginning tC
doubt him.
When so many of our men were
called away by the draft he was
promoted and in his new position
he has a stenographer under him
He and the stenographer are in q
room all by themselves working
She is very pretty girl and one
he could very easily love except for
her character.
We live out of town and my hus-
band drives to work every day
Lately he has been picking up this
girl and taking her to work. He
also drives her home. Even when
l am in town and go home with
him he takes her along.
Now he has told me that he
thinks we should have her out 10
going too far. He must think / am

on right under my nose.
What can l do to make him be-
have himself? Shall l have a plain
talk with him?
ANXIOUS WIFE.
You may be sure that If your hus-
hand were not honorably interested
in the stenographer he would hide
the evidence of his interest from
you and the public.
It Is a common thing now for
men to drive office girls to and
from work. Every generous-heart-
ed man does so II 1t Is not an In
convenience.
Probably the stenographer Is
valuable help and he wants her to
feel contented IN her position. AS
q means to promote friendly feel
ing he would like TO entertain her
in his home where she can meet
his wife and children.
You have absolutely no cause 10
be jealous and should be glad that
he trusts in your hospitality ana
faith In him. The firm would not
