 Calling attention to the fact that under the existing law the telephone and telegraph properties will auto matically revert to the private owners upon proclamation by the president of state of peace, the letter says that many of the independent tele- phone companies could not take back the properties without serious loss to the investors and great determination to the service. Many Of these com panies. the letter says, were operat- ing at loss, owing to waste incident to competition and diversity of state regulation and as proper deprecia- tion funds have not been set aside, the properties were drifting into a condition where proper public serv- ice could not be rendered.

with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of yapor. These vapors. in- haled with each breath. carry the medication directly to the parts af- fected. At the same time, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the sur face. and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
 NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
 There is no occasion for panic-in- fluenza or grippe has a 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 com plications arising, attacking principal ly patients in a run down condition those who don't go 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 ing crowds-common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bod fly strength by plenty of exercise in the open air and good food.
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
 Above all, keep free from colds. as colds irritate the lining of the air pas sages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vicks VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For head cold. melt a lit tie VapoRub in g spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use YapoRub in benZoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon 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 North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such yola- tile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme. Gu bebs, etc, so that when the salve is applied to the body heat. these ingre- dients are liberated in the form of vapors.
 VapoRub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. While compara- lively new in certain parts of the North, it is the standard honae 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 croup or colds, as it is externally ap- piled and can, therefore, be used free ly and Ofteu-WithOut the slightest harmful effect

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. Hippocrates re fers to an epidemic in 412 B. C. which is regarded by many to have been in fluenza. Every century has had it's at- tacks. Beginning with 1881, this coun- try has had five epidemics, the last in 18S9-90.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grip, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill, fol lowed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and c general feeling of weakness and de pression The temperature is from 100 to 104. and the fever usually lasts from three to five days The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lin ing of the air passages-nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a soar throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of 6 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 purgative. eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine. Aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc, may be administered by the physician's directions 10 relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza-the disease must run it's course. Nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis develop ing, and sometimes inflammation or the middle ear. or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very import ant that the patient remain in bed un- til his strength returns-stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 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, Vick's VapoRub will be found effect i've. Hot, wet towels should be ap- nlied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open Inc pores. Then VapoRub should be ribbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered

BURLESON SAYS OWNERSHIP NOW
 IS IMPERATIVE
By Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Owner- ship by the government of the tele- graph and telephone systems of the nation was characterized as ''impera- tive" by Postmaster General Burleson today, in letter to Representative Moon- chairman of the house commit tee on postoffices and postroads. MT. Burleson said the systems can be ac- Quired without the appropriation of a dollar from the public treasury" by applying to an amortization fund for 9 years the savings made under gov ernment ownership through elimina- ton of Implications in plants and op- erating expenses.
 In support of the government own ership resolution. introduced in the house last week by Representative Moon, the postmaster general quoted from the recent letter of Theodore N. Vail, president of the American Tele- phone & Telegraph company and from the annual reports of the postmaster generals since the Civil War. all of whom agreed, he said, that govern ment control or ownership would greatly contribute to the efficiency of service.
 'The economic importance of the proposition to acquire the properties by the government is very great" Mr Burleson wrote. Private capital is invested in public service enterprises with the exception of seven to eight per cent and often a greater return upon the investment This. of course, the public expected to pay, while the government can borrow money at Az per cent. The public however. pays the charge in either event. The diff ference between Az per cent and S per cent for the money invested in the wire systems. of the United States would maintain and pay for the prop erty in IS years and nine months. The government, as owner, would no more expect to charge for interest on the investment that it would for money invested in postal facilities, navy yards or other public property"
 As justification for the permanent taking over of the wire systems. Mir BurlesOn said:
 ITO establish and maintain means of communication is as much the function of the government as is the provision for national defense. s moreover, it is essential to the devel- opment of the country and to the progress and prosperity of its people. It IS a defense of the national inter- ests as much in peace as in war extension of the wire serv- ice should be determined by public needs, not the opportunity for private gain"
 The postmaster general said he be- lieved that an effective plan could be worked out, by which the waste of
