People are queer. They would rather trust a stranger who has a good front that trust a friend who needs a shave and whose pants are shiny on the seat. Every time a preacher announces that the Lord has called him to la'bor in another vinyard some onery heathen begins to wonder how much of a rasie n salary the other vinyard has offered. uOr soldiers who fought at the Aisne, Unmindful of danger or paisne, Have given the Boche A strong dose of Foch, And are ready to do it agaisne. Every church ought to have a Stained glass window with an oyster surrounded by a halo. It’s paid off more church debts than the richest man in the parish.

PREVENT THE FLU Keep Your System Clean Inside and Out. SPRAY YOUR NOSE AND THROAT DAILY. TAKE A LAXAs TIVE BATH. Give Nature a Chance by Thorough Cleanliness and You Will Be Almost Sure to Avoid It. The Symptoms. Grippe, or influenza as it is now called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104; and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lining of the air passages—nose, throat and bronchial tubes—there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. Haw to Avoid the Disease. Evidences seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. > So avoid persons having colds—common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exerdse in the open air, and good food. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs.

The Treatment. Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake but to avoid spreading the disease to others —take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, Aspirin or Dover’s Powders, etc., may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure for specific influenza —the disease must run its course. Nature itself will throw off the attack if only you keep your' strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes inflammation„of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these reasons it is very important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns. ~

Prevention Is the Thing. Glando Gargle is a splendid disinfectant and keeps the glands and air passages in a healthy condition. For a Laxative and Tonic take the general Gland-Aid treatment. Sold at all * • * . ■ ■ . .
