Influenza --"The Flu "
This' disease is preValent in Ontario now and
while many are afflicted, it is )kot the severe type
that was observed in 1918.
Influenza is highly communicable.
,The disease, though it may 1,3e severe,is of it-
sel rarely fatal. .
The sey9rity of even the mild case is remark
increased by respiratory or intestinal corripli-
cations,

" How to Avoid Flu"
t:(1) Avoid crowds.
,(2) Exercise in the open air.
c(3) Get sufficient sleep in a well ventilated
ro011).. '
(4) Wash your face and hands frequently es-
pecially before eating. ,
(5) Cover your nose and mouth with a clean
handkerchief when sneezing or coughing.
People near you are entitled to this protection
'(6) Don't visit or come in contact with those
that have the infection unless necessity demands it.
(7) Don't worry about the "Flu".
How to Know " Flu
The disease usually starts rather abruptly with
an "out of sorts" feeling - indefinite pains and ach-
es, cold in the head or slight cough,- fever, and
sometimes vonaiting or diarrhoea. Neglect of
these symptoms of onset may lead to pneumonia
and change a mild case into a severe one.
spired all her writings, her influenceS,
her foreign missionary' work. That
so filled her life that she realized the
blessedness of "the pure—or single
minded—in heart," the outward and
visible sign of which was as becom-
ing "as a little child,"—the Passport
according to Our blessed Saviour to
the kingdom of heaven.
"From glory unto glory," is an es-
pecially appropriate hymn for the ap-
proaching New Year's festival, with
its clear-sighted lines:—
"And closer yet and closer the gold-
en' bands shall be,
Uniting all who love Our 'Lord in
pure sincerity;
And wider yet and wider shall the
circling glory glow,
As more and more are taught la; God
that mighty love to know."
Purely political movements like
that of the League of Nations catch
the public eye and sound efficacious,
but GrOd as a concentrating Force,
Militia' love of Him as Father Creat-
or, Redeemer of all, furnish the only
sure and certain hop.e of peace on
earth and a realization d the essen-
tial brotherhood of man!
It is a fine thing to start upon a
New Year with an expressed desire
to draw near to God. that He may
may draw near to is, and lead us on
daily from the increasing. glories of
life and of this universe to the great-
er glory of the life that endureth for
ever in His own heaven. . And that,
not merely from a selfish hope of
securing one's own happiness but
from an earnest desire to help, ac-
cording to one's little or great ability,
to promote the love, peace and hap-
piness of the whole circle of hum-
anity.
The tune "Tours" by the renowned
has been adapted to this hymn in
European musician, Berthold Tours,
some of the hymn books.
How to Fight "Flu "
(1) Go to bed immediately.'
(2) Stay in bed till you are absolutely well.
Remember the period of getting well is longer
than the time actually ill.
(3) Keep your room at a, temperature of 68F
and wfll ventilated.
(4) Call your physician at once and do ex-
actly what he tells you.

THE MYSTERY MAN OF
SKUNK'S MISERY.
The "Mystery Man" is out again;
They tried .their best to 'tame hilt -4
But nature wild was in the child;
He left, and who could blame him?
He viewed the stars thin]: prison bars
All seeming to remind him
Of freedom spent; so off he went
And left the jail behind him.
For years they sought his secret cot,
His tracks in vain they followed,
They breathed the fogs in misty bogs
And fevery gerMs they swallowed;
'They searched in caves and lonesome
graves,
Thru willow marsh and 'mallow,
They met a spook in every nook
Bet nowhere Met the, fellow.
They laid a snare in every lair
But nothing was adoing;
They understood his fur was good
And so they kept pursuing.
Alas how sad to 'know they had
The culprit in their clutches,
And once again he's in his den
And hiding in his hutches.
SO lock .your doors, protect your
stores
And cover all your gold. up, .
Or some dark night you'll wake with
fright
To find another bold -up.
He took his flight from mortal sight,
;And tho we can't get at him,
One thing is sure he took a tour
And said "Goodt-bye", to Chatham.

KIWIS GROW SCARCE.
•
Much of the Wild Life of New Zea-
land Is Disappearing.
Th.e development of wild bush
land and swiftly extending, areas of
cultivated land in New Zealand is
considered the cause of tlae dis-
appearance of much of the wild life
for which that country was once
famous.
An eminent naturalist,, Mr. R.
Palle, in an Auckland college, recent-
ly said: On account of the clatruction
a the bush many species of native
birds had been reduced almost to tile
point of extinction. He said the gen-
eral opinion was that the kiwi was
almost ex-It:net, but this was not a
fact. Kiwis were never seen by day,
but came out at night. In places la
the north of Auckland it was not an
uncommon thing for dogs to bring
one or two in a 'week. "The kiwi is
by no means as rare as is often stat-
ed and with 'reasonable protection
,should be with us for many years,"
said Mr. Fella.
Mr. Falla said the hula commenc-
ed to decrease in numbers about
1907.. The last hula seen was at the
head of the Wanganui ,river in 1914,
and since that time there had been
no reliable report of one having been
noticed. "'Ile blame for this must
be laid at the door of the collectors,
who, whe.0 it was known the bird
was becoming rare, combed.' the Dom-
inion from one end to the other for
thebirds," said Mr. Fella. 'They
took them away in pairs, and as the
huia always hunted ha pairs, it was
a fairly easy matter to catch them."

THE BUGLER BOY V.C.
Sack Dunn Won Medal for Disobed-
ience of Orders.
What becomes of V.C.'s? Most
adult readers will remember Bugler
Jack Dunn, V.C., who won the covet-
ed laonor at the age of fourteen in
the Boer War. The writer of this ar-
ticle says a frienie in Australia tells
of Mr. Dunn having to give up his
post as chief steward of a liner jour-
neying between Sydney and. the Phil-
ippines because the line has changed
hands.
Jack Dunu won the V.O. for dis-
obedience, really. He was given the
order to sound the retreat at the ac-
tion of Modeler River. The fourteen -
year -old boy refused to blow it. He
swara the river, and as he climbed
out on the bank his bugle arm was
hit by an enemy bullet. uBt he took
the bugle in his other hand and blew
the attack, The soldiers, inspired by
his courage, swept the enemy before
them and won the action. After the
war the music -halls supported him
for a while.
BILLIARDS.
Considerable Transformation Since It
Was First Introduced.
The game of billiards has under-
gone considerable traasformation
since it was first introduced. The
game. first became fashionable when
recommended to Louis XIV. by his
doctors.
In the early eighteenth century the
table was square, with three pockets
only on one side. In the middle was
set up a small arch of iron, and be-
yond this was a mark, called the
king, and the player had to drive the
mark without upsetting either.
13y a statute not very ancient, bil-
liards was declared to be an unlaw-
ful game in Eugland, and it was an
offence, punishable by a tine 01 ten
pinnate, to keep a table itt a public -
house. The original game, which.
seems to have been a kind of cro-
quet, was played on the ground, the
playeae kneeling.
The Lombards.
Lombard street, the principal henk
quarter of the city of London, takes !II Mete
its name from the "Lombards," so-
called Italian goldsmiths and money-
lenders, who settled there in the he -
ginning of the twelfth century.
They were then commonly called
"Longbeards," and the name of the
thoroughfare was spelt indifferently
Longbord and Langeberd. A century
or so later it had become corrupted
into Langbourne—that is, 'long
brook" --.--and this misleading title is —
still retained for the ward in which FL.:
It Is situated. '
