Welfare Supt. and the Flu.

With an outbreak of influenza
in some sections of the county
there may arise an emergency
need for medicine, or nursing aid
which Car not be supplied by the
afflicted families themselves on
account of the illness of all the
members of the family and the
danger of spreading the disease
among their neighbors. If any
of you know of such cases it is
urged that you report the same
to the Co. Supt. of Public Welfare
at Rockingham, so that he may
in some way try to help. relieve
the suffering that may take
place from such need.
The State Board of Health Of
fers the following advice against
influenza: O when a person
has d cold and is a little out of
sorts, perhaps has cough, pre-
haps has a little burning about
the eyes; in other words, when
a person has a suspicion of infu-
enZa, he should go to bed for his
own sake and out of considera-
ton for his neighbor. (2) Stay
in bed until he is sure he is we'll
and then two days more.
The death from influenza will
be largely among those who dis
regard this advice.
Take one teaspoonful of bicar.
Donate of soda (Arm and Ham
mer brand soda will do) and dis
solve it in a glass half full of
water and take this solution
every morning before breakfast,
will serve as a prevention
against the influenza in that it
will cleanse the system of impur-
tiles.
The Co. Supt. of Public We'll
fare insists that everybody use
all the precautions they can
against the spread of this dread
full disease.

The floor in the reception hall
was cleared for dancing in which

the light of the roaring fire in the
big open fireplace.
Soon the guests were invited
into the dining room which was
beautifully decorated with red
and white streamers hanging
from the chandelier thickly
around the table. At each place
on the table was a Valentine with
a very appropriate little verse
and the name of each guest. In
the center of the table was a
large cake covered in white icing
and with II red candles burning
which furnished the light for a
while. Miss Rose was presented
with two dozen beautiful carna
tons by her father, one of which
she gave to- each guest. In the
midst of the merriment and glee
some one said, who would have
thought it is IL o'clock" Thus
the enjoyment of the evening
came to an end.
