tween the shoulder blades to open the
pores. Then VapoRub should be
rubbed In over the parts until the skin
is red, spreading on thlckly and covered
with two thtcknesses Of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose around

thus aids In relieving the congestion

patients In run down condition-those
who don't go to bed soon enough, ;or
those who get up too early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DIsEAsA.
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or splitting. SO avoid
persons having colds-which. means
avoiding crowds-cornnon drinking
cups. roller towels. etc Keep up your
bodily strength by plenty Of exercise
in the open air. and good food.
KEEP rRHn FHox COLDS.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds trri-
tate the lining Of the air passages and
render them much. better oreeolng

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

SpanIsh Influenza, which appeared In
Spain in May has swept over the, world
in numerous epIdemics as far back ms
history runs. Hippocrntes refers to
an epidemic In 412 B. c., which is re-
garded by many to have been influ-
cnza- Every century has had It's Mt
tacks. Beginning with 1881. this coun-
try has had five epidemics, the last III
1sS9-90.
TEE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as. 1t is now called,
usually begins with q chill followed
by aching fevcrishness and soHe-
times nausea and dizziness, and n gen.
ernl feeling Of weakness and depres-
sion. The temperature is from 100 to
104, and tho fever usually lasts from
three to five days. The germs attack
the mucous membrane or lining OF
tho air passa ges,-nose throat ana
bronchial tubes-thero Is usually
hard cough. especially bad Mt night
often times n sore throat or tonsiiitls.
and frequently all the appearances OF
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take n purgative. eat plenty OF nour-
fishing food, remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Nature herself is the
only cure" for influenza and will
throw off the attack If only you con-
serve your strength. 4 little Quinine,
Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call a doc
tor, since the chief danger Of grip Is
In it's weakening effect on the system.
which allows complications to develop.
These are chiefly pneumonia and oron-
chit!s, sometimes inflammation Of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons. 1t is very important
that the patient remain in bed until
his strength returns-stay in bed at
least two days or more after the fever
has left you. or II you are over 30 or
not strong. stay in bed four days or
more, according to the severity Of the
attack
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining OF
the air passages TO throw. off the grip
germs. to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open.
thus making the breathing easier,
vicks VapoRub will be found effective.
Hot, wet towels should be applied

 Some real spring weather has been making itself felt in these parts dur ing the past week or so. Farmers have been enabled to gather much of the cotton which still remained in the fields. Some days resembled au- tumn on the streets and about the gins because so much cotton was seen on wagons.
 Most of the people of Tuckerman and vicinity have taken advantage of the favorable weather during the past week and have planted much garden

DESCRIPTION OF THE DESTRUCTION OF A
 GERMAN U-BOAT.

"Got him." signalled the seaplane.
 %Thanks," replied the destroyer. "We1l give him five minutes to come up and breathe, but no longer" !" That time passed but still Fritz made no further move.
 At Jagged signal from the de- stroyer the port foremost trawler and the starboard after one clipped a small red tin of high explosive to the bar-taut wire, and allowed it to slide down till it touched the U-boat's hull It was the seaplane's turn to wave a flag, and immediately there followed the crashing of two fists upon two firing keys; the uprising of two grey mounds of water and a rumbling, muffled explosion.
 "The seaplane circled twice above the patch of rising oil, ascertained that Fritz had been destroyed, and notified the destroyer of the fact. Then, with her observer slipping a drum of cartridges into his machine gun, she sped on after those objects bobbing down the tide. A burst of rapid firing and the first of the devils eggs, it's buoyancy chamber punctured, sank with gurgle; the second gave better show for it ex- ploded grandly-and harmlessly-as the bullets reached it.

Smith, of Georgia, said to-day

Ask Free Passage for Cotton Shipped
to Europe.

Il
to Europe.
Washington, Nov. 20. "A petit
| ton from congressional delega-
tons of cotton growing States
for relaxation of the war trade
boards cotton export embargo
was sent to President Wilson to-
day by Senators Smith, of Geor-
gia, Sheppard, of Texas, and Nc
Kellar, of Tennessee, a commit
tee representing the congression-
al interests.
Cotton, in increasing quaint
ties, is already moving to the AL
lied countries. Because Of the
fact that midas cotton crop this
year was sufficient only for that
country's needs, Senator Smith
said, Japan has been anxious to
get cotton from the United States.
Japan's needs are estimated at
l, 600, 600 bales.
Stocks of cotton in the south
now are said to exceed 500. 600
bales, and it was because of this
fact that southern senators and
representatives, at a recent con-
ference, decided to ask the war
trade board and other govern
ment agencies to modify the re-
strictions on exports. The mat
ter also was brought to the atten-
ton of the president.
Senators say that countries de-
string to import American cotton
have indicated a readiness to
supply the tonnage necessary for
its movement overseas, and now
that the restrictions as to ship
ments to most countries have
been removed they expect the
movement to increase rapidly.
