JOHN T. STEVENS ^ t(,r of the Estate of J. Anna Stevens, Deceased Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Cee McCee, Copyright, 1928. SIX DAY8 WITH THE FLU (THlrd Day) ..Sabbath morning arrived 011 tirno. 1 was very weak, slightly nervous, had a headuche, ^my mouth was so dry I coughed out dust, my eyes were watery, and my nose was out of commission for all purposes, including breathing and smelling. I never wanted to go to church so bad in alLmy life. Funny thing?a guy craves to attend church when ho can't, and neglects to go when he can. j ..A few folks began to phone in and ask about me. I suspected one or two of them were connected with the undertakers parlors and so forth, but, of course, 1 say that advisedly. The food that was brought me for breakfast had changed some In taste. Everything tasted exactly like pumpkin pie instead of Bplnach/ except cornI flakes; they tasted like pine shavings, as usual. [..My temperature -remained around 96 in the shade. Knots had begun to appear in my mattress. My pulse had increased from 78 to 102. (I slipped the watch off of my medicine table and counted 'em myself). 1 hadvonly 4 fever blisters and 2 gumboils the [night before, but these litters had increased to 7 and 5, respectively. The place where my vertabrea (?) became disconnected Saturday had evidently knitted itself back. J ..My nurse was the best in town. She was faithful, patient, strong and sympathetic, but she always looked like she meant exactly what she thought. I therefore behaved lamblike and din't even frown when I took my green medicine. When she started toward lne^ jvith a glass or a spoon or a tumbler, I simply shut my eyes, opened my mouth, and absorbed thru my goozler whatever she saw fit to pour therein. .. My doctor called twice during the day. The only thing he did was take my low temperature, count my pulse, listen at my liver, lights and gizzard, and move forward' the day when I would be allowed to flit up from Wednesday to Saturday, and this is Saturday. My wife is boss supreme now; the cut of her eye tells me when to sit and when to lie, so I take these ups and downs 16 minutes apart. . .1 tried to listen at the radio a while this morning, but after being informed over and over again that a certain cigarette would cure indigestion, and, nervousness and certain tablets wouTdf relieve the tummy of all ailments and certain toothpaste would keep one alive 15 years longer; and [certain other things, too numerous to | mention, would make life worth living if you would only buy a 50c bottle and send the wrapper and 25c to the station to which you are listening. Then I tuned all of them out. SIX DAY8 WITH THE FLU (Fourth Day) ..Blue Monday rolled around. I was already awake when.the furnace-boy turned up the heat. I was no worse and no better, according to my way of feeling. My chest ached in spots which showed that my heart was back-firing a little. My whiskers, all 6 of them, were pointing themselves at the celling. .. I was changed to white capsules and pink medicine. I always did like to change medicines and am especially fond of pink medicine, not that it does USE FAT LIGHTWOOD POSTS fence your fields, pastures and gardens'so, they will iy fenced.

For there ure a tew fine points in reutkurant dining that are easily discernible to his practiced eye. He watches, tor instances, the manner in which u woman comes into the dining-room. He knows that if she's accustomed to restaurant dining I she will follow him to a table, letting ' her dinner partner come behind her. And she won't stop to hold long conversations at tables she pusses?leaving behind her u group of disgusted ' men who have been obliged to stand 1 us long as she talks and innumerable plates of cold food abandoned tor the! sake of good manners. It is the woman's privilege to sit' where she wishes. She should always' have the choice seat?fucing the gar-' den, the river, the window or the' dance floor. If there's'a party of four,' the two women should face each oth-' or with their dinner partners to the ' right of them. (The lust isn't a hard ' and fast rule by any means. Hut it's ' something to tic to when there's any ' hesitation.) Two types of menus arc in use in restaurants today: tablo d'hote and Ji la xarte. ?, Meals ordered from an a la curto menu cost the sum total of the individual dishes. Meals ordered from a table.d'hote menu cost one set price. (There may be several prices for the table d'hote meal. Hut they depend j upon the main course?the "entree." I The meal may cost-more, for instance, If the main course consists of frogs' legs than if it is fillet of sole. Hut the type of dessert und appetizer doesn't affect the price of the meal.) Ordinarily the woman should give her order to the man with whom she's dining and let him relay it to the waiter. In some rosaurants, however, the waiter will ask her directly what she wants. Then she may give her order to him. When the woman is to foot the bill she 11 save double embarrassment If she arranges to pay in advance. (She may see the head waiter a clay or so ahead and make arrangements with him.) she should even try to avoid having to sign the check in the presence of her masculine friend?who won't feel obliged, then, to have a tip. Otherwise the man should call for the check when the meal is over, Jeaving^ a tip that amounts to about 10 per . cent of the total bill?or as high as 20 per cent In the more oxpensive r tsertnsaau.-h,... .o, hn'taoi pensive restaurants.

I trjed to read the morning paper while my oatmeal was coming up, but my eyes were so 'full of water, I was kept too busy wiping them to make out a single .word. -.Several business men wanted to (make appointments. I had the nurse ask each of them how much their bill was, and then had her tell them that I was too 111 to receive callers, that is?where a guy wanted over $2.00. I got a breath thru one of my nostrils about 11:30; that was Indeed a thrill. My headache had shifted southward into my neck and turned itself Into a crick, about 6 feet deep, I think. ..The doctor came on time and went thru his usual 4-dolIars-worth of calisthenics, but he listened a little further around on my anatomy than usual. I supposed that ho was trying to trace | what direction the flu-was taking. I was informed that it always settled in the weakest spot; that means if it settles In my head, I'll be in politics next summer. That's the only kind of work I'll be able to do if my head Is affected. I'd simply love to be a legislator. . * I ..My alcohol rub passed off without mishap, and nothing was split on the bed, which thing I was afraid of. My fever blisters were about normal to dull, but they were very painful. The flu fever blister differs from pork sausage, llvver-pudding or other types. The former pokes out on the Hps a distance of about an inch while the latter lies flat and Jooks white. The salve that the nurse put on these sores tasted rather bad. ..1 had lost my appetite completely, but food began to smell somewhat like food. I thought ham and eggs would suit me pretty well for breakfast the next morning, and ao told the nurse. She looked at me like I was a fool, and my %ife said she was exactly right. I had a hard time getttng a correct ^thermometer reading.

',r ALL HEADY now ' ? Like a railroad brakeman giving a sign i ?* . the engineer, the work/nan on this farmer-owned rural electric lir.a signals that his assembly is completed and is now rendy to take (dec- ^ tricity to farmers in historic Caroline and Hanover Counties, Virginia. During the past year and a half the Rural Electrification Administration in Washington has allotted a total of over $50,000,000 for rural electric lines like this one. A large part of this total will finance distribution systems owned and operated by the farmers-to be served. In addition, power companies are building thousands of miles of lines with ? private financing. Present-duy rural line construction is designed especially for rural use. Advantage is taken of every economy consistent with good engineering so that the lines may be built at the lowest possible cost, permitting farmers to use electric power ubunduntly at a price they can afford.
