FIGHTING THE FLU
ABERDEEN TAKES DRASTIC
STEPS TO STAMP OUT THE
EPIDEMIC.

Aberdeen, Dec. 10. - Stringent
measures have been taken by the
Brown county council of defense and
the Aberdeen board of health to fight
the second epidemic of influenza now
raging in the city and county. At
meetings held Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon regulations were
adopted requiring all residents in
the city to wear Influenza masks
while on the streets, in theaters,
churches, stores, schools or other
public places.
Theaters and churches are permit
ted to be open, with the provision
that they be kept in a strictly sani-
tary condition, well ventilated and
not overcrowded, and that any person
in the audience coughing or sneezing
must be at once removed. School pu-
pills coughing or sneezing will be
sent home.
Restaurants are required to be
particularly careful in the prepara-
ton and serving OF food, and to wash
all dishes, utensils and r~eceptacles in
scalding hot water before and after
use. Physicians are required to ex-
ercise special care in reporting all
cases of influenza daily, and families
neglecting to comply with all the reg
ulations will be quarantined.
While no city ordinance exists Civ
ing the city authorities legal right to
enforce the regulations adopted, the
county council of defense agreed to
see that the rules were enforced, and
the population is given until Tuesday
morning to don it's "flu masks" with
out a call from the defense council.
The second epidemic, while mild
at first, appears to be growing more
serious, there having been a number
of cases of deaths from pneumonia,
following influenza, within the last
two days. In many instances the vic
Tins have been young people or chill
dren.
The people are urged to be inocu-
lated with anti-influenza vaccine al
SO. 1t is estimated there are at least
1000 cases of the disease in Brown
county outside of Aberdeen. The
health authorities on Saturday re-
fused to make public the number OF
cases reported in Aberdeen.

at the disposal of the industrial chiefs.
Rehabilitation plans have been
given careful study, and, while the of
fetal report has not yet been issued,
1t is known that it provides for dis
banding by the needs of different
trades, and not by military units. Men
with large families will also be re-
leased early.
The ministry of reconstruction has
dwelt particularly on the possibility
of development of industries making
articles formerly imported from Ger
many-such as electrical apparatus,
hardware, stamped metal and tele-
phone apparatus.
And it is fatty stated that Britain
is going to make a lot more of these
things for herself after the war;"

Does The Brunswick
Cost More?

No. In spite of it's overwhelming
advantages, the price is comparable
with those lacking Brunswick ideas.
Model for model, the Brunswick has
been kept at the usual prices. Yet it
could easily command more.
This instrument is made by the
House of Brunswick, a leader for 73
years in the woodworking art. We
have long maintained a nationwide
organization, with branches and deal
ers everywhere.
And so the cost of distribution is
lessened. Thus we can afford to of

four MINUTE TALK
MADISON LADY DISCUSSES RED
CROSS In SIOUX CITY.

Miss Vera Beck, of Madison, teach
er in the Sioux City schools, has been
one of the team of four minute Red
Cross takers in hat city the past
several weeks. Following is n of
her talks on Red Cross membership
at a recent meeting which will be
read with interest by Madison
friends.
will you answer, Present? The
roll of the nation is being called.
Red Cross. Let us prove to the
world that America is not merely
content to join with her allies in vic
tory and peace, but that beyond this,
it is our great purpose to ~rededicate
our love. u sympathy, u intelli-
gence to the permanent service of
mankind, to answer the cry of need
from a world, broken, riven with
strife. but a world looking to us for
help.
Wherever our soldiers and sailors
may be the Red Cross will stay with
them until they are demobilized; it
will care for those who remain on
duty overseas, for those who return,
for those in camps and hospitals and
for their families who remain at
home for whom the d9Joted care of
the Red Cross home service with it's
$4,000 workers is at work. They
will care as always for the victims of
fire and flood and disaster. We will
wage increasing warfare upon the
dread tuberculosis and we will aid
with every means at our command in
the present influenza epidemic.
1T is the Christmas season-the
season of happiness. friendship and
good-fellowship. Will our conscience
allow us to enjoy the spirit if we fail
to respond to this call of brother
hood, to answer the cry Of a world in
need? Red Cross membership is the
Christmas spirit in terms of action.
1t isn't so much the money that you
give-a dollar is all that is asked of
any of you. 1t is the greater gift of
your faith and loyalty. You, all of
you, were left at home, the millions
of the great reserve. You are the
force behind the army, behind the
navy. You are your brothers. keep
er. You are the American Red Cross
and the whole world is listening for
the growing volume of your pledge.
Your name-the simple name of the
Red Cross-has come to be the syn-
onym for friendship, the surety of
relief. You are warmth to the froz-
en-, medicine to the suffering, food to
the hungry, comfort to the bereaved,
and you are the folks back home.
Your boys are coming back to you.
You've got to look them in the face.
You don't want to be ashamed.
Clearly before you lies your duty
and your privilege. If you haven't
already done so don't delay any long
err. Make yourself ready to enjoy to
the full this happy Christmas season.
Booths where you may renew your
membership have been provided
within easy reach of all. Every man,
every woman, every boy, every girl.

Does 1t Play
All Records?

: Or does it require you to limit your
selection to it's own make? Do you
want to own a photograph which will
keep you from hearing all your favor
ties?
Some artists sing for one record
maker, some for another.
The Brunswick plays all records,
and at their best. And it is the only
famous instrument with the Ultona,
n of the chief features of the
Brunswick Method of Reproduction.
The Ultona is a new conception, not
an attachment nor m%akeshift. 1t is a
universal player, instantly adaptable
to any make of record.
Just a turn of the hand presents
the proper diaphragm and needle.
And it is made slightly oversize so as
to develop the hitherto lost sound
waves.

What About
Tone?

In the Brunswick Am
plifier we use wood sole
ly-no metal castings, no
tin. We believe in the
violin principle.
The Brunswick Ampli-
fer is nodded of holly
wood, in a shape de-
manded by acoustic laws.
Thus tone is given ev-
cry opportunity to eX-
pand. Wood gives the
proper vibration which a
casting can not.
And so the Brunswick
Method of Reproduction,
heralded as the most adj
vanced of all, brings new
tonal values, new stand
ards.

Negligence OF Agent Dcmonstra-
Ting Car.-Where NJ, the owner of
motor car, left it with c., the
keeper of a garage, either as pros
pective buyer of the car or as I
factor or sale sagent, there was no
relation OF master and servant, or
any other relation justifying the i'm

their speed over such bridges, ex-

place they be set by means Of a
center punch.
Cleaning Brass-Some of the
brasswork of the car, because of its
position and the work it has to per
form, is apt to get into rough
state that makes it difficult to keep
clean. This applies to the brass strip
edging the running boards and the
foot plates on the doorsillS. 1t is
difficult to clean these with liquid
brass polish, which has the char
acteristic OF staining the surround
ing territory, including the rubber
footboard covering. 1t is better to
drop using the liquid here and to
polish the brass with the finest
grade of emery cloth. A piece OF
this cloth that has been used some
what elsewhere and so has lost some
of its cut is best for this work,

by getting a bite on the outside of
the head to turn it. Sometimes,
however, it is necessary to cut the
slot deeper with a small, narrow
edged cold chisel. When this can
be done the screwdriver may be en-
ployed afterward. If the screw head
is large, a sharp tap in a tangential
direction with a cold chisel and
hammer will many times tsart the
screw so that the screwdriver will
do the rest.
Lubricate the New Car-tI is not
safe to assume that all parts of the
car that has just been delivered to
the new owner have been properly
fabricated. 1t sometimes happens
that grease cups have been left un-
filled when the car was shipped and
that wheel bearings, universals,
steering gears, etc, have been over
looked. 1t is always we'll to go
carefully over the lubricating system
of the new car and see that it has
its due allotment of lubricant.
Latch Dogs-The latch dogs on
emergency brake levers are called
upon for pretty strenuous service
on occasion and they sometimes
break. 1t is good idea to have
spare latch dog in the tool box
against this chance
Binding Steering Gears-It some
times happens that lack OF lubri-
cant at the dash bracket will cause
an apparent binding of the steering
wheel. Sometimes dirt works its
way into this bearing and causes
the parts to cramp.
Securing Grease Cups-Grease
cups on the universals and in simi-
lar locations have tendency to
work loose under the influence of
centrifugal force. In cases where
this trouble has been frequently
encountered, it is recommended
that after the cups are screwed into

POINTS FOR MOTORISTS.
Some Hints of Value to the Car
Drivers as Well as to the Repair
Men on How Best to Keep Car.

Bearing Adjustment-After TAX
ing up lost motion in a bearing,
take care in making the final ad-
justment that the strain of the bolts
does not come on the journal, but
on the faces of the bearing lines
or bushings.
Emergency Pipe Repair-A salts
factory temporary repair can be
made on a leaking water pipe by
binding around it several layers OF
string soaked in heavy oil.
Radiator Leaks 49, A frequent
cause of leaks in radiators is that
the vents in the filling caps and
oyerflowS become choked, with the
result that steam accumulates in the
radiator and the pressure, seeking
an outlet forces an opening at the
weakest point. A little attention to
the vent will remove the cause Of
trouble.
Rubber to Metal-Rubber of any
sort, mating for instance, may be
secured to metal surfaces by using
a cement made by dissolving flake
shellac in alcohol to form thick
syrup. Several thin coats carefully
applied should be given to each sur
face and the first should not be al
lowed to dry before another is ap-
piled. Press the rubber carefully
upon the metal and by the use of a
piece Of board and heavy weights,
keep the two surfaces pressed to-
gether for at least twenty-four
hours.
Removing Broken Screw-When
the sides of the slot OF screw are
badly worn, it very often happens
that pair OF gas pliers will serve
