But ho for lie Nacht! Die Nacht is here. As black as the Pit's own dust, "With only the glint of a flaming spear In God's right hand out-thrust. Der Tag! A word of steel! A clang of speech! A sword that carved huge helmets out of stars! A breath so hot to feel It could outreach A.nd forge pale crescents into scimitars! But ho for Die Nacht! Die Nacht at last Comes sweeping its sables wide, A. pall for the bad Kings overcast, The bad gods who have died. Der Tag! How tigers' teeth Bit out the word A precious morsel to the cankered tongue, As from the skies beneath The watched dawn stirred And down the world the madmen's chariots swung! But ho for Die Nacht! Die Nacht sweeps jidown LikSfjpbony waves unrolled! O night of the King! O night of the crown! O night of the lava cold! John O'Keefe, in N. Y. World. Mr. and Mrs. A. K.

Many people have been frightened by what they have read or heard of influ enza. The -more you fear th disease, the surer you are. to get it. Go right about your business and forget it. As the disease is 'spread principally by contact through sneezing, coughing or spitting, many health authorities have advised that everyone wear a gauze, which is daily washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of zinc sulphate in water, and then dried before wearing over the nose and mouth. You should avoids crowds, com mon drinking cups and public towels. Keep your strength up by taking lots of exercise in the open air and plenty of nourishing food. If you have any of such symptoms as chilliness, nasal obstructions, flushed face, headache, feverishness, restless ness, weakness, or irritating cough, give up work at once and go to bed. This will save your strength to help overcome the disease. Put your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes. Thor oughly loosen the bowels with some such mild and non-irritating physic as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally hot lemonade and then cover up with plenty of clothes in bed so as to get a good sweat. When sweating is free and the fever reduced take a dose or two Anuric Tablets every four hours, followed by drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anu ric Tablets help quickly to relieve the soreness of the muscles and bones from which most patients complain and help the kidneys flush out the poisons. To relieve nasal obstructions and ex cessive discharge from the nose, prob ably nothing is better than such a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rehiedy. It will give great relief. Employed as a gargle, in same strength as made up for use in the nose and as hot as can be borne, it quickly arrests soreness and dryness in the throat. Influenza weakens the patient's re sistance to disease, so that there is danger of bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To combat this tendency and fortify the patient's strength in sist that he keep in bed at least two days. Probably nothing will at this stage hasten the recovery and strength en the patient more than an iron-tonic tablet called "Irontic" or that well known herbal tonic.
