INFLUENZA MAY
COME HERE AGAIN
DR., Roger Warns People to
Take Precautions Against
Threatened Recurrence

The epidemic of influenza has al
ready claimed more than 5000 lives
in the State of Pennsylvania alone.
The State Department of Health de-
clares that unless proper precautions
are taken by the thousands of pa
ages of this disease there will be
large and gruesome addition TO the
death list and many patients who
think they are on the road to re-
covcry will suffer serious relapses
which may rapidly develop into IA
tai cases of pneumonia.
In order that persons convalescing
from influenza may be properly adj
vised regarding the necessary care
TO he taken until fun recovery is
reached DR.. b. Franklin Roger, act
ing commissioner of health, has is
sued the following statement:
"One half million Penn I'vanians
are now convalescing from influenza.
All OF them feel for a period of days
or weeks the weakness and depres-
sion so commonly affecting the con-
valescent. Thousands of persons will
have no physician during the period
of recovery, hence a word OF warn
ing TO them.
From two to four days after the
average person RECEIVERS from the
fever accompanying influenza gett-
ing up cautiously may be allowed.
Getting up and going about often
leads to dangerous collapse of the
heart because of its inability, due to
weakness, to send the blood hurry
ing to the remote eXtremities. The
heart muscle in most persons has
been seriously damaged by the poi
son Of influenza and the heart itself
may suddenly dilate to a dangerous
extent leading to fainting or sinking
spells. To put undue strain through
exercise or work upon a heart in
such condition may lead to perma-
nent damage to the heart itself. Fur
ther, person in such a stage of
weakness or collapse very readily
sickens with pneumonia because of
defective lung circulation and hun
dreds of persons getting up and GO
ing about too soon have thus brought
additional pneumonia or heart di-
sease upon themselves.
Take warning therefore. Get up
gradually, stop short of fatigue or
on the slightest sign of weakness.
Better lay up another week rather
than attempt to go beyond the
strength of a tagged heart.
For the same reason it is mad
visable to attempt buoying up ones
strength by over stimulation. Dissi-
patton of any sort, especially alco-
holic dissipation, is dangerous for
both heart, kidney and lung in this
stage of convalescence. Simple
nourishing food taken TO the limit
of ones digestive ability. rest and
rest frequently in reclining posi-
ton, pobabiy offers the best possible
hope for complete recovery with
out permanent damage to vital or
gans."

SOME PAPERS ARE STOPPED.

With this weeks issue we are
stopping a number of Republicans to
subscribers who have taken the pa
per for a good many years. This
we regret to do, but inasmuch as
the government has demanded that
we stop the paper to those who have
not paid in advance, we have been
compelled to do so. During the past
few weeks many of our readers have
renewed their subscription. Many
others have subscribed who have
not taken the paper before. This
has been very pleasing to the pub
Usher, and we want to thank them
for their promptness in complying
with the postal ruling.
There are a number of readers who
have not yet complied with the rul-
ing and their names will also be
taken from the list unless they re-
new within the next few days. We
do not want anyone to be without the
good old Republican, but we cannot
send the paper unless the subscrip-
ton has been paid in advance.
We wish that everyone of our sub
scribers would look at the label on
their paper or wrapper this week and
If he is not paid in advance we would
like to have him remit. The paper
is $50 year. No other newspaper
published in the state of Iowa gives
as much fresh reading matter as The
Republican. The paper is worth
twice what we ask for it. May we
not receive a remittance from all
those who are in arrears? We can
use the money to good advantage.

ATLANTIC MAN Is
AGAIN A CANDIDATE

Judge j. B. Rockafellow, of At
lantic, will be candidate for re-
election at the general election held
Nov. 5th. The people in this part
OF the district are quite anxious that
the judge be returned to his pres
ent position. In the first place he is
exceptionally well qualified to hold
the position. He is fair and i'm
partial and understands law. He re-
sides close to Audubon and it is
often important for attorneys to have
a judge close at hand in order that
necessary papers can be signed at
the earliest possible moment. With
Judge Rockafellow in Atlantic would
give the Audubon county people al
most as good service as though we
had a resident judge. From that
viewpoint alone. Audubon county
voters should support Judge Rocka-
fellow. He is a candidate on the
non-partisan ticket so that repub-
licans and democrats alike can sup
port him.
He has filled the office the past
two terms TO the entire satisfaction
% the bar and everyone of them
want him reelected. Personally he
is pleasant and agreeable gentle
man and is certainly entitled to the
support of his neighbors.

ALLIES MUST NOT
PERMIT ARMISTICE

PARIS, Oct. 9.--Presdent Will
sons reply to the German peace note
was published in the noon editions
of the newspapers today and was
greeted with general satisfaction and
expression OF approval throughout
Paris.
1.-The note could not be improved
upon; substitute Paris for Washing
ton as the date line and the reply
might have be endictated here" is an
epitOme of French opinion as indi-
Gated by the popular reception of the
presidential document.
The significant passage in the note
in which President Wilson refuses to
entertain the possibility of cessa-
ton of hostilities and demanding the
immediate withdrawal of the German
armies is interpreted in military cir
cles as meaning that the allies will
give the Germans no respite in their
retreat.
Commandant Miribel, one of the
best known military critics in
France expressed the view to the As
ISOLATED Press correspondent in this
connection that the Germans if they
were harrassed and pressed during
their retreat to the Mouse, would
lose one-third of their electives and
one-half of their material. On the
other hand, he declared. if they were
allowed to retreat to the powerfully
fortified lines OF the Eeuse with
their armies intact anG their line
shortened by nearly 800 Kilometres,
forty of their divisions would be
available for maneuvering.

AUDUBON TEAM WINS
FIRST GAME OF SEASON

The first football game ,of the
season was played in this city last
Friday afternoon when the Audubon
High School eleven competed for
honors with the eleven from the At
lantic High School And they were
victorious, the score being IA to 0.
Our boys under Coach Noble have
been doing some good work. They
have gone into the season with de-
termination to win and with SPLEEN
did team work were successful from
the start. The score was made in the
first half of the game, the touch
downs being made by Kelley and
Fullerton.
On account of injury to one of
the players Audubon failed to score
the last half. They were danger
ously near Atlantic's goal when the
game ended. The young men of the
home team are to be congratulated
for the manner in which they played.
If they continue to play as they did
last Friday they will bring honor to
the school. We want to see the boys
put plenty of pep into the game and
close the season with full share of
games to their credit.
Following is the Lineup of the Au-
