FIND CITY TRAFFIC PROBLEM
Authorities Have Hard Task Finding
Ways and Means Of Doing
Away With Congestion.

The busiest street traffic point In
the world is where an expert would
guess from map of the metropolis,
the New York World remarks. Central
park splits Manhattan; as the north
western section is larger than the
northeastern the busiest point neces-
sarily is Columbus circle, where Dep
uty Commissioner Harriss finds that
1920 vehicles passed in a ten-hour
day, as compared with 2S,7S5 at the
Ritz corner Of Piccadilly, London, in
II hours in 1914.
No other New York point quite
comes up to London'S maximum; but
the sum of II busy corners in each
city gives 2T4305 vehicles in II hours
in London. Several of these corners
give an impression of greater conges-
ton than Columbus circle, because
there is at that point room enough TO
use the circulating system of regulat-
Ing traffic, impossible at most cross
ings.
Up to certain point busy street
corners are a matter of pride. showing
business activity and wealth of pleas
ure cars. Then they become II prob
lem Since the city must grow, there
is hut one thing to do With congested
traffic: Scatter 1t.

Dr. William B. Mayo, candidate for
governor. named by proper officers
and elected at the primaries, is
worthy of support by every voter.
No party principle binders democrat
from voting for him; times have al
tered some views long held. Every
republican can vote for this candidate
lBho stands for an effective means to
obtain what that party sought by
forty years of state prohibition and
flts Sixteen years of local option.
E8ltysto party binds none to support
candidate who has observed no such
f-fealty and became the republican can
didate by means of some thousands Of
democratic votes.
William Barnabas Mayo was born
in Moretown in 1854 He attended
the schools of Moretown, graduated
from the Normal School, completed
/ the course at the Homeopathic Medi-
cal College Of New York, and began
practice at Mortified in 1877.
In 1884 Mortified made him its
{ representative. A member of the gen
eral committee and of the committee
for the revision OF bills, his first mo-
tion of record was a resolution grant
ing the Hall of Representatives to the
Teachers Association for a meeting
addressed by President Buckham.
Later he introduced bill, passed
without dissenting vote, granting a
college appropriation, the first.
In 1886, as chairman of the COM
mittee ON revision of bills and a
member of the committee on the in
sane he introduced the bill creating
the tate Board of Health, and shar-
ed in securing the Hospital for the
Insane In 1900 Dr. Mayo sought aid
for the Normal Schools and again in
1902.
His thought It was which led to the
= bill introduced in 1904 appropriating
TO the endowment of Norwich Univer.
sity money rembursing the State for
expense incurred in the st. Adams
raid. A substitute bill with appro
priations for ten years passed.
In 1910 he counseled school-man
in drafting a bill empowering the
Board of Health to act in venereal
contagious. Adversely reported, the
bill inaugurated the well ordered cam
paign Of education which, taken up by
the Women's Clubs. secured passage
OF similar bill in 1912. In 1915 DR.
Mayo, Chairman of the Health Com
mittee, secured amendment to this
: act of 1912 correcting defects.
In 1912 the Legislature was request

Qualities OF Leadership.

The real fulcrum OF life problems is
within the man himself. It's what
folks call ability. It's not glibncss, SUI
perfcial sickness or any power of
pull. It's just a definite consciousness
Of ability and that ability put to work.
With some folks habit plays an I'M
portant part. They learn 10 do things
by rote. AS long as requirements fol-
low the routine they make coed
showing. But when the unexpected
turns up they are ut sea. They rep
resent certain type of ability, but
not the best. Men seeking help OF the
highest grade want men OF brains, in
itlative and resources. They want men
that are unabashed before calamlties.
They want men that do not have TO
wait for orders, but who know what to
do in emergency and are not afraid to
assume the responsibility for their ac-
ton. Such men are conscious of being
leaders and ask only for opportunity
TO show what they can do.

Spanish influential %hieh appeared
in Spain in May, has all the appear
ance OF grip or la grippe, which mas
swept over the world in numerous
epidemics as far back as history runs.
Hippocrates refers 70 an epidemic in
412 B. c.. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza, Every cen
fury has had its attacks. Beginning
with 1881, this country has had hve
epiGemics, the last in 1SS9-9O.
There is no occasion for panlc-ln-
fluenza itself has a very low percent
age of fatalities mot over one death
out of every four hundred cases, ac-
cording TO the n. c. Board Of Health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising, attacking principally, patients
in a run down condition those who
don't go to bed soon enough, or those
who get up too early
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe. or influenza as it is now
called usually begins with a 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 to 10i, and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or
lining of the air passages nose,
throat. and bronchial tubes there is
usually a hard cough especially bad
at night, often times sore throat on
tonsilitis, and frequently all the ap-
pearance of severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to others
take a purgatiye, eat plenty OF
nourishing food. remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry Quinine, as
pirin or Dovers Powder, etc, may be
administered by the physicians dir
ections to relieve the aching. But
there is no cure or specific for IN
tiuenza the disease must run its
course, but Nature will throw of the
attack If only you keep up your
strength. The chief danger lies il
the complications which may arise
Influenza so weakens the bodily re
sistance that there is danger of pneu
monia or bronchitis developing, ant
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For thes,
reasons, it is very important that IN,

strength returns stay in bed a

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes cut poisons..

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache. backaehe, coated
tongue or a nasty breath. in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out,
Just try inside bathing every morning
for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it as q
harmless means of washing from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous day s indigestible waste, sour
bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweet
ening and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach. The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate on an
empty stomach is wonderfully invig-
Grating. 1t cleans out all the sour fer
mentasions, gases and aeidity and gives
one splendid appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that Just as soap and hot water cleans
es, sweetens and freshens the skin,
so hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the blood and internal organs
Those who are subject to constipation,
bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumat-
ic twinges, also those whose skin is
sallow and complexion palhd, are as
sured that one week of inside bathing
will have them both looking and feel
ing better in every way
