'fa INTESTINAL FLU DO YOU KNOW?| * 0 * * | A young man, after eight years’ ab­ sence, alighted at his home station, and, despite his expectations, there was no one there to meet him. He then caught sight of the stationmaster, a friend since boyhood. To him at least he would be welcome, and he was about to extend a hearty greeting, when the other spoke first. “Hello, George!” he said. “Goin’ away?” 1 *■ cups flour ■ tbsp, sugar .

Which is all to the good, for gray is a natural background, ideal for brightly hued accessories. Here is a smart dress and jacket of thin gray woollen. The frock has a plain, high, round neck and short sleeves with nar- rowwhite pique cuffs. Two slit poc­ kets, ^placed slantwise on the chest, are ipiped in pique. The jacket is a snug little affair dipping down towards the back. It has a detachable white pique collar and leather ibow-knots simulating the closing in front. 1 1 1 1 9 Wife Preservers In making muffins, don't overmix the batter. It should be lumpy.

The term intestinal flu is one some­ times used by individuals and doctors for a set of symptoms which indicate gastro-intestinal disturbance. The stomach may be upset; there may be abdominal pain and diarrhoea. This group of symptoms is extremely un­ common in outbreaks of influenza. In most instances the so-called intestinal flu is found to be water-borne dr food- borne bacterial infection; it sometimes occurs from the use of raw milk. There is little justification for the continued use of‘the term. As a mat­ ter of fact there is no such thing as intestinal flu and doctors and others would do well to cease using the name. Otherwise it will become incorporated in medical language to the injury of truthful description and diagnosis. It is not difficult to diagnose true influenza which is marked by depres- gionj, fever, acute cartarrhal inflamma­ tion of the nose, larnyx and bronchi, neuralgic and muscular pains, head­ ache, loss of sleep, convulsions and delirium. The disease is probably due to a virus or a bacterium and its dur­ ation is from, a few days to one or two weeks. There may be relapses and the patient remains weak for a consider­ able time. Complications are frequent, the-chief ones being pneumonia and various* affections of the eye and.ear. Sometimes influenza occurs in ex­ tensive epidemics or pandemics. It is also known as la grippe or grippe. In any form of influenza the best treatment is .bed. In the severe pan­ demic which occurred in 1918-19, it was observed that in the cases which were at once sent to bed, the percent­ age of recoveries was high; in those where the patient persisted in going about the deaths were numerous. It would not be surprising if next winter brought a pandemic of some sort. The living conditions of most of Europe, with poor quarters, crowding and lack of food and clothing, make ideal sur- Why are Seafaring Men Often Tattoed? ( It has been said that seamen resort­ ed tb tattooing in order that they might be buried according to their faith if they were found drowned, as most tattoo marks were, in the first place,, pictorial emblems of religion. This is no longer true, of course, but as most of the tattoo designs reveal mascots, charms and such like things, it seems reasonable to suppose that the practice arises out of the superstit­ ious nature of seafaring men. * ♦ * What Are the Oldest Living Things? They are the giant redwood trees of California, called by botanists "Seq­ uoia gigantea.” Some authorities esti­ mate the age of these trees as 5,000 years or more. They are huge trees, some reaching a height of 300 feet. ♦ * ♦ Has a Child Ever Been Born •In An Airplane? In May, 1938, twins were born to a Hebridean woman while she was be- ing rushed by air ambulance from South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, to the Royal Maternity Hospital in Glas­ gow, Scotland.

The ------------------judge refused a divorce, perhaps be­ cause of the precedent involved in al­ lowing a divorce .to a man whose wife ■made a monkey out of him . . . And for those husbands who have been told, morning, afternoon and night that ‘they spend too much’ here is a bit of solace from New York, where Mrs. Lena Feltman, after standing her husband for 53 years and 359 days fin­ ally asked for a divorce because her husband was ‘too thrifty.’ ♦ ♦ * At Tel Aviv, Palestine, the beggars are becoming educated.

Before they began, the teacher gave them a few hints, and among other things he sug­ gested that they might introduce a short paragraph on migration. One child’s attempt read as follows: “In winter it is very cold. Many old people die in winter and many birds also go to a warmer climate.” ¥ * ♦ In a hotel register was the entry, "Patrick McGee — Irish and proud of it.” Immediately below it was: “Sandy McLeod, — Scotch and fond of it."

One would almost think , they had discovered eomething new.But the Boy Scouts have been following “Be Prepared’’ for over a quarter of a century and we women have had to be prepared since the original Adam said, “Eve! Have that mastodon steak ready at sun-down, or else!” The female of the species has always had a preparedness pro­ gram in the home. Breakfast must be prepared on time, day after day, month after month, and year after year. So must lunch and dinner. She has developed preparedness Into a science. Measuring spoons, broilers, boilers, canned goods, bottled tasties and hundreds of common conveniences have been developed as aids to this universal, perpetual, perfection, preparedness program. Here are a couple of recipes for the great army of always-prepared women. They explain the prepara­ tion of tasty dishes that are health­ ful and economical. The cooked, dried Lima beans shown in the illustration now come in cans. They lend themselves to scores of dishes as delicious as those below.

Her 5-year-old daughter was critically ill. Mrs. Fleming prayed for her recovery, using the prayer book for inspiration. The child recovered — and Mrs. Flem­ ing found a $50 bill in the prayer book left there by herself 30 years ago. * * * Reports from Dunkirk, France, say calcium salts.
