A Doctors Prescription, Free From

in Use.
The getting-well stage of grip is the most
dangerous of all because the body, weakened
by the grip. is wide open to attacks of other
lurking disease germs.
That is why all the organs Of the body must
be kept in their best working order, not only
to drive out the poison left by the grip germ
but that the patient shall regain strength as
soon as possible to avoid further attacks re-
suting from the poisons in the system
AS a means toward good health after the
grip Father Johns Medicine builds up the body
because it is all pure wholesome nourishment
and free from opium, morphine, chloroform or
other poisonous drugs alcohol. Father
Johns Medicine has had sixty-seven years
success for colds and throat troubles. coughs

Glove and Gauntlet
By E. d'Ornay.

of the land. When, during the reign
of Henry ], the Bishop of Durham
was imprisoned in the Tower and es-
caped the dangerous hospitality OF
the wrathful king by sliding down
rope, he forgot his gloves and tore
his hands to the bone.
In the early days of leather armor
the hands of the warrior were left
unprotected; but when the coat-of-
mail replaced it the armorers
heightened the sleeves. and this ex-
tension, covered with metal rings, at
length developed into the gauntlet.
Later on. these rings were replaced
by small plates or sheets of metal.
as Offering a better protection; and
in course of time these brass or iron
gloves were provided with different
mechanical contrivances. Goetz Won
Berlichingen, the German knight, sur
named with the iron hand" who
lived at the end of the fifteenth CEN
tury, lost his right hand in battle.
It was replaced by an iron hand or
gauntlet, wrought in such an ingeni-
Gus fashion that Goetz could handle
a sword or lance with its help; while
a single blow from this iron hand
would kill an adversary on the spot.
Up to the thirteenth century the
glove had not been generally worn
by ladies. 1t became the fashion
then; and, with true feminine avidity
for a new sensation, the up-to-date
ladies of the period had their gloves
made of linen, cut sufficiently long
to cover the arms above the elbow.
Like the linen gloves themselves,
the fashion for that fabric soon wore
out, and the leather glove came to
it's own. 1t was manufactured in
various forms for various occasions.
It was covered with iron for the
hand of the warrior, it was thickly
padded for the falconer, who had TO
protect himself from the claws and
the beak of the tanned. and yet not
always tame, falcon. his fierce COM
panion in chasing the heron and the
crane. In the kings palaces the
courtier and his lady wore gloves
made of the soft, ever strongly
scented Swedish leather.
Gloves had their heyday when
Elizabeth of England grew fond of
wearing them adorned with most
elaborate needlework and costly
jewels, but this short period of un-
usual splendor seems now to be gone
forever
Today the use of gloves has become
so much a matter of course that we
can scarcely realize how, in former
times, their very costliness and ex-
treme rarity made them symbol
representing holy and immortal
! things. From ages almost i'm
memorial. the gift of gloves from a
conquered or tributary nation to a
victorious ruler was a sign of sub
mission After Christianity had be-
come an established religion, gloves
were regarded as an integral part of
the pontifical vestment of the popes,
the bishops and the abbots with the
rank of princes.
