Are Your Children Self-Conscious? The bashful person in company is like a fish out of water. He feels decidedly uncomfortable. It is really painful to be self-con scious. And it is an injustice to Children to allow them to grow up j with this habit. I Overcome it by all means. You j J can if you use the right method. ; One mother writes to me: "Our five-year old daughter tries to keep herself hid whenever we j have company. How can we over- i come her bashfulness?" Your daughter very likely has had j some unpleasant experience with j visitors. To overcome this, begin by get- | ting her interested in playing. "Vis iting" with you when alone. You j can easily do this by letting her j dress up in some old long dress of yours and let her play the part of j both visitor and hostess in turn. In j this playful way, you can accustom j her to different points in social cus- ; torn, ignorance of which very often is a cause of timidity. Play visiting several times before you insist up on her taking active part in enter taining company. It is a good idea always to help her out when visitors come by mak- j ing little tactful expressions yourself when necessary. By being tactful is meant that you should put the I emphasis upon some interesting play, activity or object apart from the little girl herself. It is exas- i perating to have anyone ask her how old she is and a hundred other i questions about herself when she i has her attention already too much j OTHERS Reduce your doctor's bills by keeping always on hand — I*2'*mMtj wts-m fiLLjßsaa PRICES—3Oc, 60C, SUO SPANISH INRUENZA—WHAT II IS SNO HOW II SHOULD BE TREATED Nothing New—Simply The Old Grip, or la Grippe That Was Epidemic in 1889-90, Only Then It Came From Russia by Way of France and This Time by Way of Spain. Go to Bed and Stay Quiet —Take A Laxative—Eat Plenty of Nourishing Food—Keep Up Your Strength Nature Is The Only "Cure". ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR NO OCCASION FOR PANIC Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear ance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epi demic in 412 B. C. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic— influenza itself has a very low per centage of fatalities—not over one death out of every four hundred cases, according to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking prin cipally, patients in a run down con dition—those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early. 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 mucuous mem brane. 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 tonsiiitis, and fre quently all the appearances of a severe head cold. 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 nourshing food, remain perfectly ™ quiet and don't 'worry. Quinine, r.sprin or Dover's Powder, etc., may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there Is no cure or specific for influnza —*he disease must run its course. Nature will throw off the attack if only yoq keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is dan ger of pneumonia or bronchitis de veloping, and sometimes inflamma tion of the middle ear. or heart affections. For these treasons, it Is very important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns —stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you. or if you are over 50 or not strong, stay In bed four days or more, according to the severity of . the attack. MONDAY EVENING, son herself. See that the coversa- I tion is kept on some interesting acti vity which fills her thought and makes her enjoy herself. Never under any circumstances suggest to your daughter how tijjiid 'she is. Never make fun of her. This simply would give her the im ■ pression that you do not understand her. Do not. on the other hand, talk about how brave she is. The j better way is simply to put the whole emphasis upon the fun she will have or has had with some | visitor. | Appear at all times to be very I much interested in visitors. Plan jfor their reception. Talk about the jgood time you will have with thenf I beforehand. When the visitor icomes, have your daughter bring in I her most beautiful doll and doll | clothes. Direct the talk yourself Into proper channels. Remember, your daughter is go ing to watch you very closely. It | therefore is essential for you to be calm and composed at all times i when in company. Do not let any thing excite you. Take your time. This really will mean more to your daughter than anything else. Some mothers make the mistake •of trying to sympathize with their I children by telling them they used ito have the same trouble. But this suggestion does more harm than good. Simply don't talk about the bashful trait at all. The better way is to keep talking about the positive idea of making others happy and having a good | :ime while with them. Continue ; this plan and the habit of self-con sciousness gradually will disappear. | (Copyrighted. 191S, The Parents Association, Inc.,) PAYS WIDOW 25 YEARS LATER A Itoona. Pa., Oct. 14. When i George Pottsgrove died. 25 years ago. j he had $lB7 due him in wages from 1 the Pennsylvania Railroad. Neither j the company nor the family was ! aware of this until lately, when the | discovery was made by clerks going ! over old records. A check for the I amount was made out and sent to the widow. EXTERNAL APPLICATION'S In order to stimulate the lining; of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid In loosening the phlegm and keeping the air pass ages open, thus making the breath ing easier. Tick's Vapoßub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then Vapoßub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red. spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the bodv liber ates the ingredients in the from of vapors These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At , the same time, Vapoßub is absorbed thru and stimulates the skin, at tracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the con gestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chieflv thru coughing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid persons having colds—which means avoiding crowds—common drinking cups, roller towels, etc Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all. keep from colds, as colds irritate the lin ing of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vick's Vapoßub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little Vapoßub in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vapoßub in a ben zoin steam kettle. If this is not availahle, use an ordinary tea-kettle. •Fill half-full of boiling water, put I in half a teaspoon of Vapoßub from time to time—keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. NOTE. Vick's Vapoßub is the | discovery of a North Carolina drug- I gist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc.. so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors, i Vapoßub is comparatively new in New York State and New England and a few Western States where It is Just now being introduced, but in other sections of the country it is the standard home remedy In more than a million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million Jars were sold last year. It Is particularly recommended for | children's croup or colds, since it is | externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without | the slightest harmful effects. Vapo | Rub can be had in three sizes at (all druggists.

CHARTER LI. (Copyright, 19X8, Star Company.) Upstairs Elizabeth Wade washed her hands and face quickly, and, re moving her soiled dress, slipped hur riedly into a fresh one. She was still fearfully nervous and j wanted to get hack downstairs. She did not even pause to comb her i hair, but smoothing the rough por-; lions with her brush she pinned up i the loosened strands. As she did so she heard more plain ly than before the men's voices raised in altercation. The sound frightened her, and she hastened to put the fin ishing touches to her toilet. In the kitchen Mrs. Chapin trotted back and forth from table to range, i making coffee and heating the muffins that were to form a part of the even ing meal. She in her turn was worried and nervous. She had not had a pleas ant afternoon with her husband, and her thoughts were busy with what he had said to her. In the first place, he had told her of his having discharged Sulov Ta lak. This bit of information was hardly necessary, for she had heard some of his orders and imprecations j before she saw Talak crossing the meadow back of the barn, his head i bent in depression or sullenness. She had thought that he was go- i ing away then. But later she had i seen him creep back and disappear in the direction of the stable. At that time Amos was resting in the livingrobm, and she did not tell him that tlie discharged farmhand had re turned. Instead she had waited until her husband fell asleep. Then she had crept out upon a tour of investiga-; tion. She was not afraid of the Pole. I She had always been kind, to him.j and he had never been uncivil to her. Moreover, she felt quite able to pro- , tect herself. Going into the dusky recesses of the barn, she called the man softly but distinctly. I "Talak!" she said. "Talak, where 1 are you?" No answer came. He had probably' left at last. Passing out through the rear door, j she climbed a little knoll at the side! of the barnyard. From this elevation I she could look across the fields lying! between her and the pine woods to the 1 south. Across the most distant of these! fields she spied a figure walking I slowly. It carried something long over' its shoulder it looked like a stout ] stick—and from this hung an object which she thought she recognized as the bundle containing all Talak'e earthly possessions She breathed a little more freely now that she knew that the Pole had I really started on his journey. "Pa and he have had so manv words', lately that It's made me awfullv un-' comfortable." she muttered. "I'don't feel somehow as if pa had done right by him, and yet he says the poor fool hasn't done a decent day's work since the death of his dog. Well," with a sigh of pity, "I suppose Nig was his Ignorance of Law Brings , Rebuke to a Colonel "A few nights ago I witnessed a j rather exciting episode in one of the i leading New York hotels." said ! John F. Gilmore, of Manhattan, in j the Washington Post. "A young \ man in the uniform of a lieutenant 1 in the Army, it seems, had exhibited | to a friend a paper showing that the lieutenant had been honorably dis-j charged from the military service! only a few days previous. An older i man in uniform, wearing the in- j signia showing him of higher rank, was standing near and immediately' took a part in the proceedings. He: at once began to berate the young men, saying the other, as a dis charged soldier, had no right what ever to be wearing a uniform; that it was gross presumption upon the part of any one who had received a discharge, whether honorable or not, and demanded the wearer to go at once and array himself in civilian clothing on the pain of being re ported and arrested. "The young man, who was a flne .ooking specimen of manhood, an swered with great courtesy and calmness, but insisted that he was breaking no law or Army regulation in keeping on his uniform for a lim ited period after his discharge. His senior got angry and excited and looked as though he were prepared to make a formal arrest. At thi3 Juncture an elderly civilian, a flnely dressed gentleman, who looked us though he might be a Supreme Court Judge, took a hand in the contro versy, speaking with great dignity and effect. 'The young officer,' he said, is quite within his rights. By act of Congress he Is entitled to wear his uniform for ninety days after honorable discharge from the Armv. I should think a man of the rank of colonel ought to know that much.' "The rebuke cut the colonel to the quick, as hie sudden flush of color showed, but he made an apol ogy. The moral of the Incident, if there be one. Is that there are untold thousands of people wlto are in dense ignorance of matters they are popu larly supposed to know all about, - ' HARRISBTXRG TELEGRAPH only friend. Anyway, since he's su ing, I'm glad he's gone. I hope pa will be less upset now. 1 don't under stand him these days. He's worse than ever!" Which admission would have prov ed to an unprejudiced listener that Martha Chapin's matrimonial walk was not a path of roses. Returning to the house, she set about preparing supper. As she was doing this her nusband came into the kitchen. "Its getting late," he remarked. " here's Butler gone with that girl?" "r or a walk, 1 guess," his wife re plied. "It's time they were back." he grumbled. "What do you care?" his wife rea soned. gently. "Don't bother so much about things, pa. It's not good for you." "It's easy enough for you to say "Don't bother." he retorted. "You don't need to bother. You don't have to work the way 1 do on another man's place and get no credit. Well, it's coming to an end now " His wife looked up eagerly. "You mean," she said, "that you're going to give up the farm, or"—as he shook his head—"what do you mean?" "I mean I'm going to buy the place myself if it's possible," he said. •'l've told you all a'.bng that I meant to. Now I've about got it settled." She could not answer immediately. When she did she gave no sign of the disappointment that was tugging at her heart-strings. She was thinking of this now as she got supper for Butler and Eliza beth. She had always hoped against hope ihat Amos would change his mind and move to town preferably Chicago, where she could be near Clifford as long as she lived. Now that was out ol' the question. Her husband had. in some way that was mysterious to her, secured the money with which to buy the farm. He und she would probably end their days here. Well, she must try to bear her lot cheerfully, and not to think about it I now. The duty of this minute was to call the young people to supper. If pa would only let that young man go and "wash up!" She started across the hall to sum mon Elizabeth. As she did so her husband's excited voice reached her ears. At the same moment Eliza beth's door opened, and the girl hur ried down the stairs. "Oh, Mrs. Chapin!" she gasped. "\\ hat is the matter in there? What can they be saying?" Then as the matron caught her hand nervously "Mr. Chapin must be verv angrv he must"— She got no further, for the sound of a shot rang through the house. Pushing past the terrified woman who. tried to detain her. Elizabeth rushed to the small room back of the parlor. Opening the door, she stopped short on the threshold. t I" the center of the room stood John Butler, as white as death \t his feet lay the body of Amos Chap in, blood cozing from a bullet wound in hlte temple. (To be continued.) Returned Soldiers to Be Kjept in Service Until Recovery Conies Returned soldiers will be retained | in the military service until recovery j is as complete as possible, says a De partment of Labor bulletin. The ( men will be grouped in three classe —those who can return to full ipill i tary duty, those who can serve at j home in military or civil life, and ! those who are no longer capable of ! military service. All three classes j will be treated according to the j most advanced methods, which will 1 include various forms of therapy ; and gymnastic and mental occupa j tion, in order that they may be j physically restored to a healthy and ; happy frame of mind. ] Most men will be able to return ito full military duty. For men in | the second class many occupations I are possible; they may take up agri j culture , printing, woodworking or i photography, or prepare themselves ; for the civil service, teaching or j work as statisticians. A great num ber of trades and occupations are in cluded in the list, and additions are constantly being made. Men in the third so much disabled that they can no longer be I given even limited military service, J may receive the special additional i training offered by the Federal ; Hoard of Gocatlonal Education. Eni i ployers in private Industries cannot employ, except with the approval of | the Army and Navy authorities, men | in the second class. The inquiry office, information j and education service.

Oct, 14.—One of the I most significant points in Germany's reply to President Wilson is thßt it lis tlie first important German diplo matic communication since the Ger !man empire was proclaimed at Ver sailles in 1871, which has not spoken |in the name of the Imperial German i government, "The German government" is an j absolutely new phrase, and the omis sion of the word "Imperial" is un precedented, Whether that means catering to President Wilson's views or whether it means change in Ger many remains to be seen.

Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX FLIRTING WITH A SOLDIER DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a young man 22 years old, have a good paying trade in the ship building busiiiess, and am exempted from the draft on account of being the support of my invalid mother. I am engaged to a young woman since last June whom I have known and cared for for the past two years. During the summer, she met a young man in the Army, who seems to think a great deal of her, in fact, he claims to love her. 1 have been told ?°. I ?, uch about him and his folks that I believe he stands ace high. She tells '" p ®"e likes him very much, but that she loves me better. He writes to her continually. 1 have told her not to en courage him too much in answering his letters, but she says he is in dan ger, probably lonely, and she doesn't want to cut him or hurt him. She does not seem to understand that she is leading him on, and also not doing the right thing by me. For, if she likes him better, she ought not to re main engaged to me, and encourage him. I will be very glad to have your opinion. S. O. S. So many girls act this way that It Is a little difficult to understand their attitude. They become engaged to one man. and then deliheratTv encour age another—particularly if'she is in the service—with no idea of the Un happiness they are likely to create all around. As your promised wife, she is as untrue to you as she is to the young soldier, but doubtless she fails; to realize this. Why not have an tin- 1 derstandlng with her and act accord ingly? FEARS SHE WLL.L. BE TOO OLD DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a freshman studying medicine at one of the colleges. Being 20 years of age, I am now in the draft and. having no claim for exemption, will, undoubtedly, be called to the col ors in the near future. About two years ago I met a beau tiful girl whom I have adored up to the present time, but the problem which now confronts me is that I ex pect to be called and when I come home again I wish to continue the study of medicine. Therefore, I feel I will not be in a position to practice my profession for about eight years. T realize that by that time my girl would he too old for me and that 1 should want a younger one. The pre dicament that I am in can be plainly seen and what I should like to know is how I can break with my girl friend as far as love is concerned, but still retain her friendship?. J. W. Your letter leads me to inquire if you expect to go through life courting young women in relays? If the girl you have been making love to will be too old for you in eight years, what happens at the expiration of the next eight years, and so on? Why not try a little unselfishness for a change? HEY! Whoever told you that y ou'va go t to scrape and tkimp enough cash together before you can blow yourself or family to a new winter outfit? Well you just forget that idea—because you needn't do anything of the kind. The Askin At Marine Co. has arranged it sothatevery man, woman and child can be dressed in theheight of fashion in paying foe their purchases by small convenient weekly or monthly sums. This plan ia making a hit with everybody. We know we can please you too. 36 N.2nd.Cor.Waloot OCTOBER 14, 1918. AGE NO BAR TO SKILL FOR WAR Man Past 50 Years Cornea Back to Renewed Usefulness Able-bodied men over draft age can be made skillful workers in the training schools now maintained in the large factories, and thus enabled to earn good wages while they are rendering aid to the nation in its | time of need, says a De> orciiie'*! of Labor bulletin. The war has proved that age is not a bar to the attalnmen; i f effi ciency in a new trade. The' man pas' fifty has come back t< renewed usefulness in lines of work ne'.fi i previously tried, and from all parts of the country reports arc proving his great possibilities in aiding most lines of essential Industry.

At the end of a Week ho uas taki ;g the machine ,o pieces,, and now he is earning 60 cents an j hour in regular production. An enameler of the same age, who was working on a machine in the same training room, stayed a month to : qualify as foreman in a screw-ma ] chine room. A farmer of 68 \vho | had had mechanical training in his ; youth entered the training room of la ' munition factory and quickly qualified for skilled production. The superintendent of a factory in Worcester, Mass., who has one of the best training schools in the country, testifies to the success of older men. "I recently hired a man 63 years of age, who had been a pattern maker, a millwright and a stone mason," said he. "When applying for a job the man told me ho had always had a 'hankering' to learn the machinist's trade. We put him to work in the training department • and he is making • onderful prog ! ress.
