Static Sparks
Cause of Fires
in Cotton Gins

washington Nov 29.-SparkS IRON
static electricity, generated by cotton
ginning machinery, is believed to be
one of the chief causes of fires wnfca
are destroying cotton gins in the
south Specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture made TINS
announcement today.
Representatives of the Bureau of
Chemistry and the Bureau of Markets
of the Department of Agriculture, and
of the Texas Experiment Station, the
fire marshal and insurance companies
are cooperating in an investigation
to learn the exact cause of these fires,
and, if possible, to introduce devices
and methods to. prevent them. The
specialists advise that machinery be
grounded as a partial preventive.
More than $50 fires have occurred
in cotton gins in Texas during the
resent cotton ginning season, accord
ing to specialists of the Bureau Of
Chemistry. Some of the first have
totally destroyed the cotton gins and
burned up large quantities of cotton.
The insurance companies report that
there We're 400 cotton gin fires last
season in Texas alone. 1t is esti-
mated that more than 100000 was
paid in insurance last year IN that
state, winch WOULD cover only part
of the actual property loss.
Static electricity has been found to
cause fires and dust explosions in
threshing machines, flour mills. eleva-
tors and other mills where large guam
titles of dust accumulate. Tests have
shown that large quantities of static
electricity are generated in parts of
the ginning machinery. Wnl.- the in
vestigations have not proceeded far
enough to draw positive conclusions,
the specialists are led to believe that
static electricity is probably a cause
of the majority of the fires. The in
dicationS are that matches cause a
very small proportion of the fires in
cotton gins.
The machinery has been grounded
in twenty gins in order to lead off
any static electricity that might be
generated. No fires have occurred in
any of the gins that have been ground
ed. This is merely preliminary
recommendation, as the Investigations
have not proceeded far enough to de-
termine what proportion of the fires
may be caused by static electricity.
Detailed information as to methods of
grounding machinery will be furnish
ed upon application to the representa-
tive of the Bureau of Chemistry, Dr..
H. II. Brown, 1908 Southwestern Life
Building, Dallas, Texas Fires report
ed will be investigated by the special
lists at the earliest opportunity.

TO TREAT IT AND To AVOID IT

| in bed at least two days or more after
| the fever has left you or If you are
| over SO or not strong. stay in bed four
days or more, according to the Sc
verify of the attack
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing sueezing Or splitting, So avoid per-
sons having coIcS-which means
avoiding crowds-common drinking
cups. roller towels, etc. Keep up your
bodily strength by plenty Of exercise 10
the open air, and good food.
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 VickB VapoRub at the very first
Sign Of a cold For a head cold, melt a
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale the
vapors, or better still, use VapORub
in benzoin steam kettle. II this is
not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half full Of boiling water,
put in half a teaspoonful Of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling, and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-vick's vapoRub is the discov-
cry of a North Carolina druggist, VIII,
found how to combine in salve form
Menthol and Camphor with such vo-
iatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs. etc, so that when the salve
is applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form OF
vapors. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. While COM
paratively new in certain parts of the
North, it is the standard home remedy
in the South and West for all forms
of cold troubleS-over six million jars
were sold last year. VapoRub is par
ticularly recommended for children's
Group or colds, as it is externally APP
piled and can, therefore, be used free
ly and often without the s1ightest
harmful effectS.-adv.

Simply the Old Fashioned Grip
disappearing Under a
New Name.

Spanish influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May. has swept over
the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hip
pocrates refers to an epidemic in
412 B. c., which Is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every century
has had it's attacks Beginning with
1881, this country has had five cpl
denies, the last in 18S9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
fluenza or grip has very low per-
centage of fatalities-nOt over one
death out of every four hundred cases
according to the N. C. Board of
Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising. attacking prin-
cipally patients in a run down con-
dition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough. or those who get up
too early.
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 purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
ing 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 conserve
your strength. A little Quinine, As
pirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
aIlay the aching. Always call ply
sician, since the chief danger OF grip
is in it's weakening effect on the sys-
tenn, which allows complications to
develop. These are chiefly pneumonia
and bronchitis, sometimes inflamma-
ton of the middle ear. or heart affec-
tions. For these reasons, it 3 very
