Enemy Nervous In Last Days.

marked by great nervousness on

MISS SHUMAN'S WILL GOOD
TODWELLERS IN LABRADOR

Natives of Labrador struggling
to maintain a very meagre exist

lands and rocky precipices SO ap-
pealed to the sympathies of Miss
Anna Shuman, SO, lately Of 100
Fifth street that she bequeathed
the bulk of her estate to mitigate
in a measure the harshness Of their
life.
They haven't very much in Lab
rador except scenery, and that is
very grand and impressive" she
was often heard to remark to her
friends.
Perhaps you think that filet de
sole and other fish dishes are very
nice-occasionally. But suppose
you had filet de sole for break
fast and then for lunch and still
again for dinner and repeated the
menu day after day. Well. the
people of Labrador eat very little
of anything but fish. The climate
is icy cold. the soil stark and stony.
refusing to yield anything but a
little moss and occasionally a
scrubby tree"
Interested by DR.. GrenfeII.
Miss Shuman became interested in
the hard life OF the inhabitants Of
Labrador through Dr. Wilfred Gren-
fell physician and missionary to
that country. He is well known in
Washington. having given many lee
lures here and written several books
on this, his favorite subject For his
work in Labrador he was decorated
by King Edward VII OF England. He
started the Grenville Association.

Miss Shuman hopes to do good with
her money. The money was be-
queathed to the Grenfell Association

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

Spanish Influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has swept over the
world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history runs. Hippocrates re-
fers to an epidemic in AZ B. c, which
is regarded by many to have been in
fiuenza Every century has had its
attacks. Beginning with 1881. this
country has had fve epidemics. the
last in lSs9-sO.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, OF influenza as it is now call
ed, usually begins with q chill fol-
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling OF weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 10 IO4. and the fever usually lasts
from three TO FIVE days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lin
ing Of the air pasSagcs-nose, throat
and bronchial tubes-there is usually
a hard cough. especially bad at night,
oftentimes A sore throat or tonsilitis.
and frequently all the appearances OF
a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a pUrgative. eat plenty OF nOUr-
ishing food remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry. Nature herself Is
the only ''cure" for influenza and will
throw of the attack II only YOU con-
serve your strength. A little Quinine.
Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physician's directions to
:tllay the aching Always call a doc
tor since the chief danger OF grip is
in its weakening effect on the system,
which allows complications TO devel-
Op. These are chiefly pneumonia and
bronchitis. sometimes Inflammation Of
the middle car. or heart affections.
For these reasons. II is very impoT-
tant that the patient remain in bed
until his strength retUrns-stay m bed
At least two days or more after the
fever has left you. or n you are over
- or not strong. stay in bed four days
or more. according to the severity Of
the attack

Belgium Terms Quoted.

Belgium's terms of peace can b..
given in d single sentence. occordinc
to the Belgian Otticial Information
Service here today. The sentence is
"Our country demands only what
the whole world has agreed she has a
right to expect"
In amplification of this. the words
of King Albert. used in his reply to
the Pope's peace message. are quoted
as follows:
THE integrity OF Belgium, the ter
ritory OF the mother country and COL
onies. political, economic and military
independence without condition of re-
striction, reparation for damage suf-
fered and the guarantees against a
renewal of the aggression of 1914
such remain the indispensable condi-
uons of a just peace so far as con-
Germs Belgium. Any settlement that
would not recognize them would
shake the very foundations of Justice
since it would forever more be estab-
lished that in international domains
the violation of right creates a claim
for its author and may become a.
source of profit" ~
The only remaining question: say
Belgian officials. lis that of the suffi-
cheney of Germany's guarantees
against further aggression"

 Last Tuesday an Apache In- dian brought lnto town the pelt of large mountain lion which had just been killed in the mountains in the southern part of the county.
 This lion had killed three horses belonging to the Indian who hunted it down and finally put a stop to it's further depre- dations. and 1t is thought much other stock belonging to the Apache Indians had been killed by this same lion.
 The Board of Supervisors of- fer $10.00 for all such pelts, as there is no other single wild animal that can be so disastrous to the stockmen, and when one of the lions is killed it always means general rejoicing for the owners of stock in the vicinity where the slayer IS trapped and killed,

Mining and Oil Industries

An unparaIled c e bra ii o T throughout the allied world marked the signing of the arm istice. Wildly enthusiastic, al most hystericaI. crowds thronged the streets of large and small cities and towns.
 Peace was ass red. and our nation. our allies, and even our enemies rejoiced. However, the declaration of world peace itself means no cessation of ef- fort in the mining and oil in- dustries.
 We can confidently expect gradual relaxation of govern ment regulations concerning non- war manufactures, and a general return to pre-war conditions in many lines of industry.
 But the demand for metallic and non-metallic products. and particularly petroleum. during the period of reconstruction, will exceed even the demands made by war conditions. Every oil producer, mine operator. miner and oil worker, will be called upon for a maximum of effort not even heretofore achiev- ed.
 Work heretofore confined to war channels will be diverted into countless directions, and the demands upon financial execu- tives. operating executives and workers, will be manifold for several years. before we can hope to return to normal con- ditions of pre-war years.
 Reconstructionists. not ob-| structionists are necessary.
 Should the demand for our products slacken temporarily. maximum production should be maintained to create and es- blish reserves. for no matter how large, they will be needed. Care ful. conservative, anticipatory, similar to that which surprised, startled and defeated the Hun, is more required today than during the war.
 The reconstruction work of the world depends upon the petro- Ieum and mining industries.

HOlbrOOk District to Join
 Chamber of Oil and Mines

The Chamber of Oil 6 Zines of Arizona has definitely arrang- ed with Hon. E. s. Clark of Prescott, to be present in Hol- brook on the 18th inst. for the purpose of organizing the Hol- brook Oil District and at which time District Rules will be form ulated. The local bar will coop crate with MT. Clark.
 1t is desired that all who are interested in the Holbrook Field become members of the Cham Der prior to the organization in order that they may participate or be represented in the delib- erations. Applications for mem bership may be obtained at the News office on request.
 Membership in this organiza- ton which is statewide in scope, will be of great advantage t. those interested in oil develop ment be they either operators or land owners. The News has consistently supported the idea of a District Branch of the Chamber of Oil 6 Mines and the adoption of District Rules fos this district. The experience of the past shows exclusively that organizations and rules of this character have proved effective and advantageous and have ma terially assisted in the c0-ordi- nation of effort which has re- suited in much individual as well as general benefit.
 We bespeak popular and gen erous support in this movement and without doubt everyone interests in this field will be- come active in support of this which is a practical ne cessity and will operate for the general good.
 Matters pertaining to the To- cal field will be under supervis- ion of the local branch of the organization.
