I , ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE *•* Spanish Influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far 5 back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 \ 'K. C. which is regarded by many 'to have been Influenza. Every ceixlury has had its attacks. Begin sfrtg with 1831, this country has had ~tlve epidemics, the last in 1889-90. |j> TIIE SYMPTOMS i" Grip, or influenza as it is now usually with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and * sometimes nausea and dizziness, and "W general feeling of weakness and t depression. The temperaturb Is from IQO to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to live days.

A little Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be given by the physician's di rections to allay the aching. Always pail a doctor,' sinoe the chief danger f grip is in its weakening effect on • 6hc' system, which allows complica tjpns to develop. These are chiefly and bronchitis, some ,y4smes inflammation of tho middle ■ *lsar, or heart affections. For these treasons, it is very important that the patient remain in bgd until his strength returns —stay in bed at t 'l6ast two days or more -after, the , fever has left you, or if you are over t'jjl or not strong, stay in bed four •shays or more, according to the se j-JSfirlty of the attack. y EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS ■ In order fo stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the ! f PHp germs, to aid in loosening the ' phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making Ihe breathing iasier, Vick's Vapoßub will be found effective.

"1 went down Just now and had a talk with her. It seems that, Mr. Butler asked Mr. Miller to let his wife come over hero and do for ud until you and me are feeling real good again. So she's' arranged to stay on for soveral days." "That's very kind," Elizabeth mut tered. She had slept so heavily and was so faint from lack of food that ,her brain worked slowly. She recalled as in a dream the happenings of last night. And she shrank from dwelling on them. Seeks Butler In Vain Yet as she bathed and dreasedthe haze lifted from her. mind and %ne by one each incident of the afternoon and evening stood out clearly. Was John asleep? Had the Sheriff been here yet? What had the Coroner said? She must get downstairs as soon as she could and ask her lover these questions. But when she entered the dining room he was not there. Mrs. Miller was, and Mrs. Chapin introduced her, seating herself at the table as she did so. "Elizabeth, my dear, this is our neighbor, Mrs. Miller," she said. "Pleased to meet you," Mrs. Miller smiled. "I remember seeing you when I tlrst came to this place to live, jukt after my marriage. But I guess you don't recollect me. You was only a small child then." "No," Elizabeth responded politely. "I am afraid I don't recollect it. Mrs. Chapin has told mo of your kindness in coming to us just now.. We both appreciate it." * "Well, one nrrust stand by neigh bors in trouble," Mrs. Miller re marked. "That's what I told my Sam last night when he came over for me. And I promised Mr. Butler I'd stay. He was kinder worried about you and Mrs. Chapin." Elizabeth noticed that the widow looked pale and nervous, and she changed the current of the conversa tion. "Dear," she urged, "do tako some coffee. It is so good and hot." "Well, I'm glad you enjoy it," Mrs. Chapin rejoined. "My, but I feel all weak and gone-like this morning! I suppose it's on account of tho shock," she added-ytears coming to her eyes. l "Of course it is," Elizabeth sym- , patliized. "You will feel better when your son arrives." The words had the desired effect. Tho mother began to talk about her boy, with Mrs. Miller as an interested listener. In silence, Elizabeth Wade ate a little breakfast and drank a oup of coffee, her thoughts busy with the man she loved. Why had he not come down to breakfast? Was ho, too, so tired that TOO TIRED TO WORK? If yon get xrp in the morning tired if you weary with little exertion and if vim and go are lacking, depend upon it that your liver is torpid.

Schenck & Son, Philadelphia ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time, A'apoßub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to tho surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. NO OCCASION FOR PANIC There is no occasion for panin— influenza or grip has a very low per centage of fatalities —not over one death out of every four hundred eases, according to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally patients in a run down , condition—those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence 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—which means avoiding crowds—common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily Strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and goo 4 food. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS Above all, avoid'-colds, as colds irritate the lining 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 ami inhale tho vapors, or better still, use Vapoßub in a berikoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordi nary teakettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of Vapoßub from time to time—keep the kettle just slowly boiling and in* hale 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 Eucalyp tus, Thyme, Cubobs,. etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredienta are liberated iff the form of vapors. Vapoßub can be hnd in three sizes at all drug gists. While comparatively new in certain parts of the North, it is the standard home remedy in the South and West for all forms of cold trou bles —over six million jars were sold last year. Vapoßub is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, as it is externally applied and can, therefore, be used freely and often without tho slightest harmful I effects.

It was not like] him not to be present at a time when he must know she would be nervous. She thought of the form lying in the darkened room acrcoss the hall and felt suddenly sick and very much alone. She must not seem eager about John. Mrs. Miller was watch ing her and might suspect her anxiety if she asked questions about him. Yet she must find out how and where he waq. A happy inspiration came to her. , "When I went upstairs last night, she remarked, casually, "Mr. Miller was here. Has he gone home?" "Yes," the wife nodded. "He had matters to attend to on our farm, you see. So I fixed him up a lijtle breakfast real early and he drove back home." • Elizabeth's ruse had not proved successful. She must try again. Butler's Absence Explained "It is too bad you have so many breakfasts to prepare," she ventured. "First, one for Mr. Miller, then an other for Mrs. Chapin and myself and one later for Mr. Butler when he comes down." . ... "Oh, no!" Mrs. Miller spoke quickly as if to conceal her eagerness to im part a bit of interesting news. "I don't have to get breakfast for Mr. Butler. He's gone away. And that reminds me, he told me to tell you folks that he had some business'he'd got to attend to in Midland." Elizabeth wet her dry lips with her tongue. , "When will he be back?. she asked. Suddenly she did not care who knew that -she was engaged to John. All she cared about was his 'safety. "Well"—Mr. Miller evaded a direct reply, watching the girl curiously— "he was not sure. But he told me to 1 tell you that you would either see him or hear from him by noon. "I asked him if there wasn't any other message, but he said 'no.' I promised to repeat to you just what he said. And that was all there was to it." • , (To Be Continued) BOOKS AND MAGAZINES" Uncle Abner; Master of Mysteries, by Melville Davisson Post, author of "The Nameless Thing," etc. The lonely mountains of Virginia have their mysteries, their trage dies, and crimes, no less than have cities, and it takes a man great and stern and simple as the mountains themselves to solve them. Such Is Uncle Abner, the hard-riding. Just old man, who rights wrongs, lets light in upon the darkness and ex ecutes justice in each of the strange cases which are brought to him for solution. In contrast to Uncle Abner is the country justice, Randolph, who takes circumstantial evidence too freely, is often misled by appear ances, and usually has to be put right by Uncle Abner. Throughout the book Uncle Abner shows that evidence may be sifted out by log ical methods and his solutions are marvels of accuracy. There is, for example, the strange case of the man who was killed while alone in a room with every door and window bolted from the inside; the mystery of the miser's vanishing pot of gold; bow a chess pawn solved a murder; the story of the knife thrower at a ckunty fair; and a'dozen other queer episodes all cleared up by Uncle Abnor's sound-reasoning.

How Can We Help the Timid Child?

A father writes to,me: "My six-year-old son is an exceed ingly timid child. He wants to quit kindergarten because the other boys tea'se him. What would you sug gest?" | Have your little six-year-old son tell you his experiences at kinder j garten. Appear to be very much in terested in everything that he re lates.

Put the emphasis upon interesting, whole some thoughts about his kindergar ten work. Whenever any point conies up in the conversation relating to fear as, for example, fear of other boys teasing him, do not pass it off lightly and at the same time do not allow the child to get the impression that it is anything to worry about. I suggest that you talk to him somewhat in this fashion: "Yes, yes, ! 1 remember how the little boys used to try to tease me when I was your size—and do you know what I nid with 'em? Well, sir, I Just laughed at .them and do you know t'ney didn't want to tease me much after that? I don't know why they didn't but I guess it was because they didn't want to get laughed at." Pause at this point to let the child think it over a little and see if he has any question. Then continue like this: "Of course, if any of the boys had done anything to hurt me, I simply would have told my father about it and then the boys would not have bothered me any more— Cuticura Quickly Relieves Itching Skins j BathewithCuticuraSoap, dry and apply Cuticura Ointment.

They simplj? like to have fun, so the best thing to do is just to laugh wljh them. That way, you see, you have just as much fun as they do." Change the subject in a natural way at this point. The next day, do not ask in particular whether the boys teased him because this would put unnecessary emphasis upon the element of fear. Always let the subject arise naturally.
