AGAINST INFLUENZA Herw is Prominent Physician’s Advice For Keeping Flu Away. ~Keep the stomach full and the bowels empty,” is the advice given "% reeentiy by a prominent New York physician, to keep away the flu. If these instructions are followed, the |_system is kept in such a condition that the influenza germs cannot get a ‘foothold, he adds. i ds are heeding this advice u:h‘l,:em protecting themselves against ‘ the fin. But there are many others ~ whose etomachs are in bad condition; ‘who cannot eat heartily and therefore © sare easy victims for the dreaded dis- ease. It is for those people, those;who must limit their appetites in feax of " causing distress in the stomach, those “who suffer with gas and Dbloating, whose appetite 1s reduced to ammost nothing, to those who, in fact are - slaves to their own stomachs, that we are directing this advertisement. Goldine No. 1 is the remedy which thousands have used for stomach trou- ble, and which has given them relief “which no other medicine gave them. 1t is an herb remedy and contains none of the acids which are barmful to the syste! If your stomach is in poor condition, if you cannot eat as much as you should, you are inviting a visit from influenza unless you act quickly and begin the Goldine treatment. And, remember this, Goldine No. 1 is a zood tonic as well as stomach remedy. Don't wait any longer. Get Goldine Lazxative keep the bow in condition. You can get the Goldine remedies af G. G.

For the last two weeks it has snowed regularly every other day. My activities” about the farm have been confined to shovelling out paths—and then shovelling them out again. Only between the most important buildings have I been able to keep paths open. Not only is the snow pretty deep, varying from two to four feet per- ‘haps, but it is rather thickly crusted 80 as to make digging in it exceedingly hard work for an old man. I've kept a few paths fairly clear, though, till this morning. Now they're even full once more. And, as it is still snowing thickly, there's small use tackling them till it stops. So I waded, an hour ago, to barns, sties and hen-houses; at- tended to the animals, and waded back. -That, as.I note was- an hour ago: A man wading waist deep through snow with a'pail in one hand and a basket in the other, and a ‘dog wallowing at his heels, makes some track. ‘But not a trace of it is visible now. Everything is filled.in again, so that not even a crease on the surface shows where JMajor and I bucked the drifts an hour ago. The highway is just as whit: and smooth. Seven times within the last thre: eeks has the road commission- er, with tWwo. teams ‘of heavy horses, drawing a big sied with plows clLained to each runner,—seven times has he been up and down the highway, break- ing out a passable track. If he fin- ished up a “once-over” on a Monday, say, it would snow and blow his tracks full on a Tuesday, Then he nfede 'em over again on 4 Wednesday. And the { snow filled "em 2gain’ on a Thursday. So he could open up some more on a Friday. That's been about the pro- gramme, the dows. there is no more evidence of a track id the roadway than there s in the snow around the North Pol about level with the fence-top: es and w ut even d aple in urface to suggest where'the over- and-over-again plowed-out track for eigks had been. And the snow is coming thickly, yet; no sign of let-up or intermission. The wind, too, is-rising, giving promise of drifts to add to the trouble. Last week our mail-carrier managed to get by us three times. He had to divide his route, which he usually t a day, in two all of daylight negotiate a one of . these balves. If he gets to us as much as ice or ever once, this week, we shall owe it to his indomitable pluck. Altogether, it is “some winter” which we are experiencing here and here- The snow is giving roofs vere tests. I have heard of seven {barn and shed roofs which have bLeen icrushed in, in my neighborhood. { But it is giving a still severer test [to the average farmer's foresighted- | ess and. forehandedness. IA that ‘average farmer” wasn't ready for it, if he hadn’t planned and prepared for it, then he’s having a good deal more uncomfortable time than he would if d ahead a little, For instance, there’s my neighbor, | Wellington Sparks. He hzs been suf. ficiently forehanded to get down from the mountain a good supply of wood for the winter. lle has had it sawed up, and thrown into a hu ten-cord out back of the ho 1t was osing looking pile betore ven th Now, buried under a huge dri lift's that co ng drift into the upper air like a pyramid. And her Wellington or Mrs. Wellingt s got to paw out every stick d for their stoves. comes out snowy and % ndie. i burn They have to dry it, armful by in the oven or under the stove, before {it will burn freely in the firepot. | When that avood was cut and split iand tarown into the big pile, it was not unhandy to get at. There wds no now, to speak of, and it wi steps from the back or to the pile. But now, things are jdifterent. There is_a five-feet dritc { between the door and the wood. There lis 2 snew mantle tworor three fest thick . over the whole ~pile, -which- is being renewed about every other day by .a fresh snow-storm. 'The pil: is {iad to.get to, bad to’ get wood out {of,; and. the wood isn’t desirable fuael, when got. | _All because the Wellington ‘Sparkses {didn’t get ready beforehand. There are:quite a number of other "farm houses in my vicinity where the wood supply is no befter arranged. Orfe result of the drifted roads has been a partial suspension of store Ge- | livery service. The 'delivery clerks and ‘their tired horses are doing all that is possible, but they simply can- not get into all the backroads and lanes. And several neighbors are be- ginning to feel a shortage. You see, one or the other, ft It into the cityfied habit of ordering things. from the store by telephone and having them delivered by the store team. It works very nicely in the good old summer time. But it is a system with disadvantages in a win- ter such as the present. “Oh, no,” sweetly said little Mrs. Doovery; “we nevep keep any stocks on hand. It is so much better to order what we want as we want it, and so have it fresh each time.” That was last fall. They have been wading to us through the Snow twice -already this February; once for kerosene to keep their lamp lighted - till the delivery man could bring- some, and once for a box of matches to light lamps and other things with. And-I know they've been to the meighbor on their other side at least once for something else. Now, | am willing to admit that pro- gress is a great thing and that we all ought to be progressive, if it takes a lez. And I'm also willing to admit that 1920 is sixty years ahead of 1860, in_the almanac anyway. But I do not believe that any of the farmers of this neighborhood in 1860 would have run any risk of having to go without candles or matches or ‘lard Jjust because a snow-storm kept them from getting to the = store. They'd have had such things on hand for such an emergency, Jjust as a matter of simple common sense, Nor do I believe that it is Progress with a big P to ignor common s#ise and the lessons of experience just for the sake of imitating the condust of REQUIRE EXPERIENCE’S SERVICES And now, as I look out from | ‘even we hill-farm chaps have fallen | HER BILL | other people, living under other condi- tions. The average .city housewife simiply has to depend on the daily visit of the-grocér's delivery clerk be- cause modern city apartments are not designed or constructed so as to fur- nish storage for much more than daily wants. Furthermore, in the city dis- tances are shorter and methods for pler. The system gof hand-to-hand living which is practically - universal in cities is, doubtless, the natural off- spring of city conditions. Whether it is equally applicable to rural -condi- tions, whether - its - adoption ~ in - the country has 'been progress, is quite another question, I, for one, don’t think so. otherwise most uncomfortable winter in the though that'its shutting in' of so many country homes will tend to though - for the’ future, “when "dnother winter sets in. 0 Experience is a dear teacher. But if, as has been sdid, there are.ihose ‘who will learn of no other, the rest of us need not, wol over her charges. .Let those who. require her service pay her bill. If the bill in- cludes, inconvenience and lack, p haps even loss and suffering, ‘it is sim- ply the natural consequence of their own conduct. And the sharper these charges may prick, the more -likely they are to teach greater wisdom for | the future. i Even if this winter had been as |snowless and balmy -s a Florida | autumn, -the fact would mnevertheless {have been clear to.a goed many of us farmers that we have got te return to the cld ways in some respects; in this matter of keeping the farm suf- { ficient unto its own needs for one, cer- ! tainy. : When the weather is finn and the i roads are smooth and the stores are ! well-stocked and the railroads aren't embargoed and the switchmen aren't istriking and everyching is lovely with | the goose hanging high—why, then we ;don’t seriously need big reserves in jcellars or barns. Unfortunately, that | combination of serviceable conveni- lences isn’t warranted to conting: | first-class working order, every day ;and all day, nights and Sundays, twelve months to the year. Hades | liable to break loose almost any min. iuie. Especially when you least ex- {pect it. When your engine is purring :along most contentedly and the road i seems extra smooth is just the time {for an axle to crack or a tube to blow out. Our experience during the last fow years with various uiterly inexcusable | strikes ‘ought to have been sufficient {to teach any man with two eyes in hig ! !head and brain behind them that f all manufacturing and the future of transportation industries is very un- certain. They are liable to sudden and ! practically complete interruptions on i the least occasion,—indeed, on no oc- casion at all. How city people are going to pre- pare ahead against such attatks on their welfare 1 don’'t pretend to eiuci- date. But for us farmers the sensible thing is as -clear as day. We must révert in some measure to the old f!tem under which, each farm was de pretty nearly fa self-supporting prinecipality. 4 . That this used to be done is proof | that it can be done again. When a1 fortress is beseiged the safety of its| garrison consists quite as much in the | adequacy of its supplies of food and ! ammunition ag in the strength of its! walls. It cannot expect luxuries, but it ought to be sure of an ample sup- DIy of necessitles. % If this furious winter leads some. of us to take steps along this line for the future, it may prove a real bless- ing in disguise.
