No. 23. 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 i
with this habit.
Overcome it by all means. You
can if you use the right method.
One mother writes to me:
"Our five-year old daughter tries
to keep herself hid whenever we
have company. How can we over
come her bashfulness?"
Your daughter very likely has had
some unpleasant experience with
visitors. •
To overcome this, begin by get
ting her interested in playing, "Vis
iting" with you when alone. You
can easily do this by letting her
dress u|) in some old long dress of
yours and let her play the part of
hoth visitor and hostess in turn. In
this playful way, you can accustom
her to different points in social cus
tom, ignorance of which very often
is u 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 j
her out when visitors come by mak- j
ing little tactful expressions yourself \
when necessary. By being tactful 1
is meant that you should put the j
emphasis upon some interesting j
play, activity or object apart from i
the little girl herself. It is exas
perating to have anyone ask her
how old she is and a hundred other 1
questions about herself when she ;
has her attention already too much j

SPANISH INFLUENZA —WHAT II IS
AND HOW II SHOULD BE TREATED

i
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 tonsllltis. 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 nourshlng food, remain perfectly
(ftutet and don't worry. Quinine,
nsprin 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 —the disease must run its
eourse. Nature will throw oft the
attack if only you 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 lnflamma
<>on of the middle ear, or heart
e-rections. For these reasons, 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
lift you, or If you are over 50 or
rot strong, stay In bed four days
or more, according to the severity of
the attack.
MONDAY EVENING. '
son herself. See that the coversa
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 timid
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
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
much interested in Plan
for their reception. Talk about the
good time you will have with them
beforehand. When the visitor
comes, have your daughter bring in
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
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
! children byAelling them they used
jto have the skrne trouble. But this
| suggestion does more harm than
I good. Simply don't talk about the
bashful trait at all.
| The better way is to keep talking
jabout the positive idea of making
others happy and having a good
| Vinie while with them. Continue
j this plan and the habit of self-con
sciousness gradually will disappear.

PAYS WIDOW 25 YEARS LATER
Altoona, Pa., Oct. 14. When
George Pottsgrove died. 25 years ago,
he had $lB7 due him in wages from
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Neither
the company nor the family wjls
aware of this until lately, when the
discovery was made by clerks going
over old records. A check for the
amount was made out and sent to
the widow.
EXTERXAL APPLICATIONS
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, Vick'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, chiefly 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
available, use an ordinary tea-kettle.
Fill half-full of boiling water, put
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
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.
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
j externally applied and therefore can
be used as freely as desired without
| the slightest harmful effects. Vapo-
I Rub can be had in three sizes at
I all druggists.

(Copyright, 1918, 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 back downstairs.
She did not even pause to comb her |
hair, but smoothing the rough por-1
tions with her brush she pinned up |
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 tin—l
islnng touches to her toilet.
In the kitchen Mrs. Chapin trotted
back and forth from table to range,
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 u 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
lalt. This bit of information was
hardly necessary, for she had heard
some of his orders and Imprecations
before she saw Talak crossing the
meadow back of the barn, his head
bent in depression or sullenness.
She had thought that he was go
ing away then. But later she had
seen him creep back and disappear
in the direction of the stable. At
that time Amos was resting in the
livingroom, and she did not tell him
that the 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.
She had always been kind to him,
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.
"Talak!" she said. "Talak. where
are you?"
No answer came. He had probably
left at last.
Passing out through the rear door,
she climbed a little knoll at the side
of the barnyard. From this elevation
she could look across the fields lying
between her and the pine woods to the
south.
Across the most distant of these
fields she spied a figure walking
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's
earthly possessions.
She breathed a little more freely
now that she knew that the Pole had
really started on his journey.
"Pa and he have had so many words
lately that it's made me awfully 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
rather exciting episode in one of the
leading New York hotels," said
John F. Gilmore, of Manhattan, in
the Washington Post. "A young
man in the uniform of a lieutenant
in the Army, it seems, had exhibited
to a friend a paper showing that the
lieutenant had been honorably dis
charged from the military service
only a few days previous. An older
man in uniform, wearing the in
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 fine
looking specimen of manhood, an-i
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 this
Juncture an elderly civilian, a finely
dressed gentleman, who looked as
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
Army. I should think a man of the
rank of colonel ought to know that
much.'
"The rebuke cut the colonel to
the quick, as his 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 who are in dense
ignorance of matters they are popu
larly supposed to know all about,"

only friend. Anyway, since he's go
ing, I'm glad he's gone. 1 hope pa
win 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.
"It's getting late," he remarked.
"Where's Butler gone with that girl?"
"For a walk, 1 guess," his wile 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 I do on another
man's place and get no credit. Well,
it's coining 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 along 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
that 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
of the question. Her husband had, in
some way that was mysterious to her,
secured the money with which to buy
the farm. He and she would probably
end their days here. *
Well, she must try to bear her lot
cheerfully, and not to think about it
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.
"What is the matter in there? What
can they be saying?" Then, as the
matron caught her hand nervously
"Mr. Chapin must be very angry
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.
In the center of the room stood
John Butler, as white as e'eath At
his feet lay the body of Amos Chap
in, blood cozing from a bullet wound
in his temple.

Returned Soldiers to
Be Kept in Service
Until Recovery Comes
Returned soldiers will be retained
in the military service until recovery
Is as complete as possible, says a De
partment of Labor bulletin. The
men will be grouped in three class*.
—those who can return to full mili
tary duty, those who can serve at
home in military or civil life, and
those who are no longer capable of
military service. All three classes
will be treated according to the
most advanced methods, which will
include various forms of therapy
and gymnastic and mental occupa
tion, in order that they may be
physically restored to a healthy and
happy frame of mind.
Most men will be able to return
to full military duty. For men in
the second class many occupations
are possible; they may take up agri
culture , printing, woodworking or
photography, or prepare themselves
for the civil service, teaching or
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 group, so much
disabled that they can no longer be
given even limited military service,
may receive the special additional
training offered by the Federal
Board of Gocatlonal Education. Em

Advice to the Lovelorn
HV BEATRICE FAIRFAX
FI.IHTI.M; WITH A SOMBER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a young man 22 years old,
have a good paying trude in the ship
building business, 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 1 have known and
cared for for the past two years.
During the summer, she met a I
young man in the Army, who seems to I
think a great deal of her, in fact, he |
claims to love her. 1 have been told j
so much about him and his folks that I
I believe he stands ace high. She tells I
me she likes him very much, but that!
she loves me better. He writes to her |
continually. I have told her not to en- i
courage him too much in answering j
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 j
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 delibefatly 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 i
to realize this. Why not have an un- ;
derstanding with her and act accord
ingly?
FEARS SHE WII.I, BE TOO OI.D
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a freshman studying medicine
at one of the college's. 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 fftid 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 be too old for me and that I
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 oah 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
| vou have been making love to will be
| too old for you in eight years, what
happens at the expiration of the next
I eight years, and so on? Why not try
j a little unselfishness for a change?
| HEY!
Whoever told you that yoti'vs
got to scrape and skimpenough
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 & Marine Co. haa
arranged it so that every nan,
woman and child caa be
dressed in theheight of fashion
in paying for their purchases
by small convenient weekly or
monthly sums. This plan is
nuking a hit with averybody.
We brow we can please
you too.
