After Grip
To Restore Health, Vigor, Energy, There is Nothing to Compare to
Dr.ihas ' ny, torve Food
The grip epidemic has assumed huge proportions
until there is scarcely a home but shelters one or
more victims of this enervating disease. 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.
Rich, red blood is the greatest of germicides, and good
vitality the strongest defence against disease. Keep the
bodily vigor at high-water mark by using Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food, and you need have no fear of grip or other
contagious diseases. 50 cents a box, 6 for $2.50, all dealers,
or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Ltd., Toronto.
It is the 'older people who suffer most from grip.
Finding them in a more or less weakened condition,
grip breaks down their power of resistance and pre-
pares • the way for pneumonia, kidney troubles, or
A.eart failure.
After every epidemic of grip the grim reaper
makes a regular harvest, through the medium of these
ailments. There is only one way to avoid such re-
sults, and that is by the regular use of such restora-
tive treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food.
This great food cure has proven a wonderful
blessing to people in advanced years and all whose
systems have become run down.
You need not linger in weakness .if you will but
put this treatment to the test. By supplying the in-
gredients required by nature, Dr. Chase's Nerve Food
hastens the process of upbuilding` and you can depend
on the results proving of lasting benefit.
Miss E. J. Buswell, Centralia, Ont., writes :
"Last Winter my another contracted a bad cold.
She was bothered with shortness of breath,
wheezing, fevered and too sore to cough. Our
doctor prescribed treatment which brought relief
from these symptoms, but when she got up she
was tired, always tired and weak. • I got her
three boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and she
soon improved. Her eyes became clear and
bright, the ashen hue left the face and she began
once more to take up the reins and look after
the household duties."

"UNCLE SHAM."
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. She had no business to
be on it because we said she had no
business to be on it. No American has
any business to be anywhere except

"In the meanwhile, we're busy writ-

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.

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.
