Urged on by sudden changes of temperature, this dreaded scourge sweeps over the country like a forest fire before the western winds. In offices, stores and factories the forces are greatly reduced because so many arc away with grip, while many who stick to their posts do so with the greatest discomfort, because of the pains and aches and the great weakness associated with this disease. It only takes a few hours of this debilitating ailment to bring even the strongest to their beds and the process of recovery is often most° tedious. Just at this point Dr. Chase's Nerve Food does wonders to hasten the return of health, strength and vitality. By forming new, rich blood it builds up the system as nothing else can. Here is a case to illus- trate this point : Miss Amy C. Davis, 301 Perth Ave., Toronto, Ont., writes: "After a severe attack of quinsy- and. uinsyand grip, my nervous system seemed to be com- pletely run down. I had taken a good tonic, prescribed by my doctor, but still felt very nervous; Would start up at the least sound, and was very irritable. A friend advised me to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and, after taking two boxes, I felt so much improved. that I continued to take four more, which completely restored my health. I cannot say too much for this great Nerve Food, and have recommended it to all my friends." HOW TO AVOID GRIP.

The popular periodicals in the United States are increasingly savage in their attacks upon their own Government for lukewarmness in resenting the systematic murder of American men, women and children: and popular periodicals undoubtedly reflect the trend of public opinion. For example, Mc- Clure's for April has an article on "Uncle Sham," dealing with the whole attitude of the American Government toward Mexico and Germany. Ori the ship -sinking issue, it ravishes sarcasm on note -writing as a retort to murder' and winds up this way, describing a man who is expecting his grandmother to Christmas dinner: "Just as the turkey is put on the table, the door bell rings. You go to the door to admit grandma. But in- stead it's the postman. He hands you a letter, it's from the German Govern- ment. "Dear sir,' it reads, 'we regret to state that last Thursday we were forced to blow up your grandmother. She was on a ship.

Mrs. Edwin Martin, Ayer's Cliff, Que., writes: "Before using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I was in a terrible condition. Dizzy spells would come over me and I would fall to the floor. I could not sweep without fainting. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food has so built un my system that I can wash and do my housework. Your medicine cured me when doctors had failed." THINGS WORTH KNOWING A considerable share of labor on Serbian farms is taken by the Serbian women, who also weave the homely material for their clothes. The women are valued highly for their services, so much so that parents not infrequently are unwilling to see tbeir daughters marry. Hence in Serbia wives are often older than their husbands. No fewer than 176 different kinds of bananas are grown in various parts of the world. To whip thin cream, ' or augment, add the white of an egg. There are few paupers in Japan. Everybody works, and it is consider- ed a disgrace to be supported by your relatives while you have the ability to earn your own living. Between them Australia and Argen- tina pasture one third of the world's sheep. MAKING A BUTTONHOLE. To make a good buttonhole. begin the slit about a quarter of an inch in from the edge. Out on a thread through both or all thicknesses of the cloth, making the slit the length of the diameter of the button to be used. Use a thread a little heavier than the cloth in which the buttonhole is worked and of sufficient length to complete it. The needle should be as fine as will carry the thread. In working a buttonhole, first put in two or more stitches across the lower end of the slit to keep it from stretch- ing. Then take two or more stitches down the side, across the end and up the other side, a sixteenth of an inch from the edge, bringing the needle out at the starting point. This will strengthen the buttonhole. In over- casting the edges, sink the stitch a thread beyond this stranding. Four or five overcasting stitches on each side are sufficient to prevent ravelling and to keep the strands in place. The last stitch in overcasting should bring the needle out at the end of the slit, ready to begin working the buttonhole. In taking the buttonhole stitch, the needle should be brought through to- wards the worker, deep enough to cover all stitches that have been made before and prevent pulling out: Before pulling through, make the buttonhole purl by taking the thread over the eye of the needle and carrying it around the point of the needle in the direction in which you are sewing. When the end is reached, take seven or nine spreading stitches, making a fan, if a rounded end is desired. Continue down the other side. If a bar is used, put the needle into the opposite purl at the end of the slit, draw the two sides together and make several long stitches the length of the width that the buttonhole is cut. Work the bar across the end, working from left to right with the blanket stitch. Finish by taking a few tiny stitches on the wrong side.

"In order to.be satisfied even with the best people we need to be content with little and to bear a great deal," says the wise Fenelon. He finds that their must be "a mutual loving for- bearance. Frequent silence, habitual 'recollection, prayer, self -detachment, giving up all critical tendencies, faith- fulness in putting aside all the idle` imaginations of a jealous, fastidious self-love, all these will go far to main- tain peace and union.. How many troubles would be avoided by this simplicity! Happy is he who neither listens to himself nor to the idle talk of others. Soon after the first baby was boin a certain man's wife went upstairs one evening and found him standing by the side of the crib and gazing earnestly at the child. She was touched by the sight and tears filled her eyes. Her arms stole softly round his neck as she rubbed her cheek caressingly against bis shoulder. He started light. ly at the touch. "Darling," he mur- mured, dreamily, "it is incomprehens- ible to me how they can get up such a crib as that for ninety-nine cents.', POINTED PARAGRAPHS Pensions are the silver linings of war clouds.

A JOKE ON THE JOKER A commercial traveller happened to. call on a grocer in a town the other day, and at the same time there also entered' a poor old woman soliciting alms. The grocer, wishing to play a joke on the traveller, told the woman to "ask the boss," at the same time pointing to the commercial traveller. The traveller was thunderstruck for the moment, hut, regaining his self- possession at once, said, turning to the grocer, who was a very small man, "Boy, give this poor woman a dime out of the till." The grocer paid. A South London resident, whose gar- den runs down to the railway line, has hit upon a novel recruiting advertise- ment.
