' Keep on shaking sulphur in your shoes, , If you wish to dodge "them dog-gone flues," Which tackle Yankees, Huns or Jews, And hurts them worse than Memphis blues. Keep assafoedita around your neck And eat strong onions by the peck If you would like to stay on deck And keep your ship from ruin and wreck. And don't fdrget the castor "ile" Tofree yourself of deadly bile; And often, every little while, Consult your little smelling vial. If you are young, or if you're old, Be careful not to take a cold ; , ' But if you get one take some gold And pay for what your druggist sold. Then pay the doctor what you owe, So he will have good .cause to know, That you are not so bad and slow, ( , And get a line on where you'll go. ' Then pay up .all your little bills While you are taking dope and pills To offset sundry aches and ills Of influenza and its chills. And if on earth you wish to stay, Be sure you don't forget to pray At morning, noon, and close of day, For one should pray as well as pay. Refrain from whiskey, gin or rum, And have the preacher man to come, .And pay the church that promised sum, And greet him as a long lost chum. 1 Now don't forget the printer man Who serves the public all he can, ' Who helps to further each good pian, ; And helped elect the boys who ran. But if the doctor shakes his head, As" if to say you'll soon be dead, There's isn't much more to be said, ' .' For you will soon see ''Uncle Ned." It might be well to make your will r Bef ore "them flues" proceed to kill; . 1 . So there's another little bill . Before, they plant ydu n the; hill, , . But don't give up tW living game , ; .. Until your fighting makes you lame; Make flu germs flinch and blush with shame, Arid sorry that to you they came. 1 f 1 i i i I i i i i I i i 1 ! i THE 30TH DIVISION.
