! EEP, grippy colds-frequently

IN EEP, grippy colds-frequently
leading into pneumonia -
have been unusually preva-
lent this winter. Some authorities
insist that they are a form Of in
fuenza, not so virulent as the in
f1uenza during the first epidemic,
though they r worse than ordi-
nary colds.
Vieks A a Preventive.
Most medical authorities now agree that
these troubles are germ diseases-com
monty spread by breathing in the germs.
II the system is in good shape-the mem
brane of the air passages in a healthy con
dition-these germs do not ordinarily
breed.
Keep a little vicks rubbed up the nos
trils at all times, particularly when ex'
posed to crowds. AT night melt Vieks in =
spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still,
use Vicks in a teakettle as directed below.
This treatment helps to keep the air pass
ages in good condition.
The Danger I, From Pneumonia
The chief danger lies in the development
Of pneumonia. What is needed therefore
Is something to decrease the congestion Of
the lungs. For this purpose there Is moth
ing like a rubefacient or counter-irritant,
as witness the use of blisters, poultices and
plasters for many generations. This I'M.
tation reddens the skin-draws the blood
from the congested parts to the surface

sation Of warmth and the possibility Of
pneumonia Is greatly lsssened.

until the skin is thoroughly Redeemed. In
very deep colds, the sides and especially

should also be treated.

Special Invitation
TO Montgomery Folk

Besides being glad Of gossiping
with Montgomery folks-just like
radio-and inviting them to come
to Birmingham lot oftener than
they do, and stay year or two
when they get here, I have spe-
cial invitation to extend to them.
And this is a second big item
of news.
You-all know how the Daughters
of the Confederacy every season
are the busiest bees imaginable
providing funds to take care of
old soldiers, erect monuments and
preserve the files of the South
so that we may all remember those
who died for Southern rights?
Well, Yancey chapter is to have
huge benefit card party-one of
the most fashionable events of
Mrs. Birmingham's social season.
and Mrs. Alex Cecil sets forth that
ii you'll come up to the Magic City
June 9Th wearing a Montgomery
badge, you'll be treated with the
same royal welcome that the Biz
mingham crowds received when
the trains were so loaded down with
us picnic-hunters when we went to
inauguration.
Forty tables are to be placed
throughout the spacious home of
Mrs. James Hicks on Highland ave-
nue-cep'n the kitchen.
And the loveliest prizes!
Come up and take 'em home
just like the big hitting teams car
ry off the remnants from most of
US. We like to lose to visitors.
And since there will be prize
at each of forty tables, mighty lot
of chances will be lying around
loose. You're being asked because
you're wanted-not for your dol
lar or two.
I1O"SNtl-
The funds are not to be used
for Birmingham matters at all.
They will be divided between
Mountain Creek Old Soldiers-H Home
"a state affair-the Lee Memo
rial at Lexington, Va, the Jeff
Davis monument in Kentucky, and
such things as Montgomerians are
interested in just as well as Magic
City folks.
And while you're here, you'll
have opportunity to view another
thing of which the city and the
Axis Club are very proud.
It's a cottage the Axis is fitting
up to emphasize the "Better Homes
in America" idea.
But more about that few jumps
further on.
Don't let me get my items of
news all scrambled up here like
mayonnaise and wilted lettuce.
Back we go to the card party.

Mrs. MCLend0nl Leads
The Ipierian Climb

There were very few guests at
the late Axis club benefit at Mrs.
Frank Whites who looked more
fetching than Mrs. d, F.. McLen-
don.
The wife of the city's commission
president wore a beaded gown of
pink, delicate in color as the pink
Of an opal or a seashell; and with
a perky spring chapeau, she was
one of the central figures of the
group of women who welcomed in
coming guests at the front door.
1t has been a matter of interested
comment in club circles, which
know Mrs. McLendon as a busy
worker and a member worth hav-
ing in an organization, that Mrs
McLendon was lately elected to lead
the fortunes of the Pierian club the
coming year. She has belonged to

Mrs. James Hicks.
Mrs. Miller's gift is Southern

fan which will 60 awfully we'll at

Cecil has given an etched glass
flower bowl, fit for a princess,
while Mrs. Hicks chose hand

housewife would most break her
self any time to buy.
Lots of Birminghammers, Of
course, are registering to attend,-
by way Of Mrs. Laura Alexander,
who has telephone and who lives
at the Highland Terrace apart
ments. If the gayety can be made
a twin-city stunt, it would sort of
be running wild" for US, up here
in Birmingham.
About $50 persons-all the men,
bers of Yancey chapter-are work
ing toward the party's fun, and
Mrs. Cecil was frank to say any
body would get her moneys worth
of pleasure merely out of the
punch, if nothing else.
You may have four and half
cups.
This delectable is to be served
throughout the hours to revive
those who are playing a poor game.
Tables will be stationed in the
living room, dining room, library
and sun parlor.
Mrs. w. C. Shackelford is pres
