j. d. Mickle, state dairy and food

that the dairy business will be over
done in this state from now on. His
report says:
"There has been some apprehension
in some quarters lest the dairy bushes,
be overdone. In this direction our Of
flee has taken some pains to make care
full investigations, and our conclusion
is that there is absolutely no danger
of over-production from this on
His report, as it relates to the dairy
industry, is very optimistic. He points
out that farmers and dairymen are now
using the Babcock cream tester MS a
means of wedding ou the Stacker

herds are being built up in this state
Formerly it was thought necessary
to go east, or to Europe for well bred

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. Hippccrates re-
fers to an epidemic in Alp B. G. which
is regarded by many to have been in
fuenza. Every century has had its at
tacks. Beginning with 1881, this coun-
try has had five epidemics, the last in
1SS9-90.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip or influenza as it is now called
usually begins with chill followed by
aching, feverishness and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 104,
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 a
q. sore throat or tonsilitis. AMI frequent
ly all the appearances Of severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative, and plenty of nour-
ishing food, remain perfectly quiet and
dom u worry. Nature herself is the on
~ "cure" for influenza and will throw
off the attack if only y,u conserve
your strength. A little Quinine, Aspirin
or Dover's Powder may bc given by
the physician s directions to allay the

CITY HAS LEGAL RIGHT.
TO AMEND CHARTER TO.
RE-ASSESS PROPERTY
This Decision Is Given By
Judge Kelley In Case
Against Silverton.

A city has legal right to amend its
charter to re-assess property providing
that in case an assessment for the con-
struction of good roads is found to be
invalid by any higher authority. The
decision is by Judge Percy Kelly in the
case entitled J. M. Brown and others
against the City of Silverton. Judge
Kelly has entered an order that tae
case of Mr.. Brown against Silverton be
dismissed.
1t was on April 81, 1914, that the
City Of Silverton passed an ordinance
providing for hard surface concrete
pavement on McClaine street. Later
it was claimed that the city. in passing
such an ordinance, ignored remonstran.
ces and that the Improvements had
been forced on the plaintiffs.
In the suit of Lais against the City
of Silverton, the supreme court of Ore
gon handed down an opinion adverse
to the city. Then the city passed an
amendment to the city charter provid'
ing for the re-assessment of property
Council Passed Resolution.
August 6, 1918, Silverton council
passed resolution declaring the dis
trict especially benefited by the street
improvement. Sept. A, 1917, Ire pA>
erty adjoining the paving was assessed
causing lien on the property.
In the case on trial against the city
the plaintiffs asked for temporary in
junction against the city to prevent thC
selling of property for assessments ant
cancelling the assessments and remov
ing the cloud against the title of lane
on McClaine street.
AS the council had submitted tn,
amendment to the city charter provid
ing that should higher legal authori
ty declare invalid the first assessmen
that the council could re-assess, ant
that the people had voted in favor o
the amendment 345 to 144 against, th
decree was entered that the re-ame-ss
ment was valid and the case dismissed

two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
Leave the clothing loose around the
neck as the heat of the body liberatee
the ingredients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected At the same time, Va
poRub is absorbed through and stimu-
lates the skin, attracting the blood to
the surface, and thus aids in relieving
the congestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
There is no occasion for panie-in-
fluenza or grip has very low percent
age of fatahties-not 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 eonditiOn-those who
don It 60 to bed soon enough, or those
who get up too early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid per
sons having colds-which means avoid
crowds-common drinking cups, roller
towels, ETC. Keep your bodily strength
by plenty of exercise in the open air,
and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all. avoid colds, as colds irri'
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Wick s vapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use VapoRut
! in i benzoin steam kettle. If this is
not available, use an ORDINARY tea
kettle. Fill half full of polling water
put in half a teaspoon OF VapoRut
from time to time-keep the kettle
Just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
NOTE-vick VapoRub is the dis
covery of North Carolina druggist
who found how to combine, in salv,
form, Menthol and Camphor with sucl
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme
Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve L
applied to the body heat, these ingre
dents are liberated in the form Of va
pors. VapoRub can be had in three siz
es at all druggists. While comparative
