If nothing else can be said of it—it surely makes talk. You can't get away from it—no matter where you go— the conversation is flavored with the Flu. It is as bad as was the Boll' Weevil when it first appeared—and 1 am expecting almost any day to hear over the radio a song that might go something like this— “I got the Flu-s—you got the Flu-s— We’re all gwin hub dc Flu-s— j No matter whar yer run away to Can’t git away frum dat old Flus-' As to whether they will coll it the “Flu Blues’’—or the “Blue Flu-s” I guess it doesn't matter—as you feel the same way anyhow.

Another point of Franklin's philosophy was h's understanding of the values of hardship. As a boy. wrth an exceedingly limited income, he lived on vegetables in order that he might save money with which to He knew ;hat >aving for itself was without value. He knew that with out saving certain necessary objec tives in life could never be attained. In our day, inquiry often is made for a system or creed through the practices of which personal success will come. All such inquirers should turn to the writings of Benjamin Franklin. They need have no fear that the truths they learn from this source will prove obsolete. For the philosophy of Benjamin Franklin is of no period. It is of all rs, “Where, oh where?"
