Scores Call at Lodge. All of cosmopolitan Paris seemed to be represented in the scores of men and women who called at the janitor’s lodge ust inside the great wooden gate at the entrance. There were government of- ficials, generals, soldiers who had been under his command, titled aristocrats and many men who were simple poilus in the trenches. Among those who called was a repre- sentative of former American Ambass- ador Hyugh Wallace. Only intimate friends of the family and members .of the government were permitted in the house itself. None of these saw the general, who is now taking orders himself from a small nurse. During the night there was no change in the 77-year-old soldier's condition and this morning it was stated that he was np worse and if anything a little better. Judgment Reserved. While medical opinion now did not regard the case as hopeless, it was ac- knowledged that it was one of great gravity. Judgment as to the out- come was reserved because of the age of the marshal, whose sturdy frame has been worn by the manifold activities into which he has thrown himself since the conclusion of the World War. Marshal Foch bore the suffering which followed asheart attack with great cheerfulness and courage. He had the will to live, being not @t all down- hearted. He did not want to have the doctors called, but he submitted to their ministrations with the best possible grace and even exchanged witticisms with them, ‘There were intermittent sinking spells yesterday, when the iliness appeared at Connecticut Avgnue Apartments of Distinction in Washington’s most exclusive building Seven and nine rooms and three baths with enclosed porches.

Six doctors attended him and at one stage his two daughters were called to his bedside with their mother and it was feared that the end was near. The doctors said that the marshal's great spirit alone had carried him past the crisis. They were none too optimis- tic and explained that he was enjoying what probably would be only a tempo- rary truce. The possibility of another attack was regarded with the gravest forebodings.

Do the following #we things and forget it: First, keep your system in good condition, and, second, keep your nose and throat As a first precaution, many doctors lagative or fathartic but a pure, patural subftance that helps your system function at all times the way sature intended it to. Like pure water, it is harmless. Physicians agree that, particularly in times of epidemic, purging by laxatives and cathartics is not advisable. Many doctors are now prescribing Nujol, as in no case does it cause ex- haustion or weakening of the sys- tem in any way. Take it every night; it will keep you in first class condi- tion. You will have a far better chance to resist colds or “flu” or any diseases thatare going therounds., As a second safety measure, use Mistol, as it protects the nose and throat against the germs of influ- enza. Use it every morning, the first thing, before you go out. Agaia, when you come home at night. Don’t be afraid to use it freely; it will do no harm, Never has colds Just tilt your head back and apply Mistol with the special dropper which comes with every package, until you feel it trickling down your throat. It will clear your head avon- derfully, relieve any inflammation, it will help dry up a running nose. It has a soothing effect on the throat too. Gargle it for a sore throat or a little irritating cough. ‘The combination treatment of Nujol and Mistol is a double safeguard against colds and influenza. Start this wise twofold precaution’ now. Put worry out of your mind. Nujol | and Mistol areon sale atall druggists. —Advertisement.
