When the famous Madonna Of Al
bert falls from her strange position
atop the Albert church tower, the fall
Of Germany will have come"
That has been long the belief Of
every French poilu and of every viii
lager and peasant who has seen the
curious freak of shellire pictured
above.
Has the Madonna fallen during the
present battle? II not, will she not be
brought down during the counter Of
fensive?
1t would be one Of the strangest
condolences of the war IL this his
toric bronze image of the Virgin and
Child should fall at the precise turn
ing point Of the present battle and Of
the whole war.
In the early days of the war Hun
shells. aimed at their favorite mark,
the House of God, toppled the great
bronze statue over into its present
precarious pose. Ever since 1t has
clung there to the wonder of all
France, hanging by seeming miracle
in defiance of natural laws. The su-
perstition rapidly sprang up through
France that this image Of the Virgin
holding her babe out over the batter
ed town would never fall until the
doom Of Germany was sealed, until
the tide Of war definitely turned
against the Hun and the dawn Of
peace appeared.
The lines Of battle were forced fur
ther to the East, until Albert was no
longer under Boche shell fire. But
now the sea of war has whirled back
into and beyond Albert once more.
The city Is again under continual
bombardment by guns and planes.
This church Is the storm center Of the
most critical battle Of Armageddon.
The whole world win wait with inter
est to know, whether as the conflict
finally turns here against the Hun the
famous statue Il really hrouxht

SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE
FALLING OFF BADLY
Only $4,000 Added Yesterday-No
Big Celebration Planned for Sat
urday Because of Epidemic.

The Liberty Loan canvass dragged
badly during the last "a hours, and
only $16,55O in new subscriptions was
reported yesterday. This makes a to-
tai for New Britain of ST., 1854, 400.
There is a long ways to go to get that
$3,178,000.
Tonight there will be a meeting Of
the general committee at the New
Britain National Bank Building at
7:45 o'clock and the factory canvass
reports will be received. The COM
mittee will then be able to come pretty
near telling how New Britain is going
to come out on the Fourth Liberty
Loan. Every canvasser is urged to
get all returns possible in before to-
nights meeting. The factory cam
paigners have kept very quiet about
results, as they do not wish to let out
anything until they are through, but
such reports as are received are of q.
very encouraging nature.
The publicity committee met yester-
day Afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the
chamber Of commerce roms. 1t was
decided to call on the mayor to issue a
proclamation for everyone to hang out
flag Saturday, Liberty Day. Other
plans were discussed for promoting
the loan. Is was decided also to sus-
pend a banner across Main street
Owing to the epidemic, it was decided
not to arrange any public meetings,
but a vigorous house to house cam
paign will be conducted from now on.

THOSE NOT ILL MUST
REDOUBLE EFFORTS
Maj. Williams Calls For Normal Pro-
duction of Munitions Despite Infu-
enza Epidemic.
Especial to The Herald)

Bridgeport, Oct. 10.-An appeal to
the men and women in the munitions
factories of the Bridgeport district
who have not been affected by the in
fuenza outbreak to do their utmost
to make up for the loss of production
caused by the absence of comrades
who have been stricken with the dis
ease has been sent to every munitions
plant in this district, which includes
all OF Connecticut and the four west
ern counties of Massachusetts, by
Maj. Gen. G. c. Williams, Chief Of
Ordnance, IN Washington.
Many factories have been hard hit
by the epidemic, and the absence of
workers has been especially unfor-
tunate at this time, when eXtraordin-
airy efforts are being made to get
production from the factories, be-
cause Of conditions at the front. The
message from Gen. Williams is as
follows:
Influenza is interfering with our
munitions plants throughout the
country. It is UP to the men and wO-
men who are still on the job to make
good the loss of their com RAJ es.
Speed up. Your country needs every
bit of your energy today for the men

will be given an opportunity to in
spect the machines. There will also
be exhibition of fancy flying. 1t is ex-
pected that practically all of Wind
ham county will participate in this
big outdoor Liberty Loan celebration.
The other aviators will proceed west
over West Hartford, Farming, Can
ton, Collinsville, UnionVille, New
Hartford, Winsted and Torrilgton to
Litchfield, where they will alight at
Ripleys Field two miles west of
Litchfield. Plans are under the SUI
pervision of the Woman's committee
Of Litchfield and of George G. Wood
ruff, editor of the Litchfield Enquirer,
for the holding of a large Liberty
Loan fete, with the flyers as the CEN
trial figures. In discussing the flights
today, Mrs Bullleley said that it was
the idea of the Woman's committee
to substitute them for indoor Liberty
Loan rallies because of the presence
of Spanish, influenza everywhere. In
the outdoors the dangers of conta gion
are not so great. and Mrs. Buckley
believes that flights will prove even
more effective than rallies.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She made up a mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to bring back color,
gloss and yOuthfulness

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just
4 few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
0lesome. An easier way is to get q
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store ready
FOR use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other il
gradients.
White wispy, gray faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain onr
Youthful appearance and attrac tive-
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
40 one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
4 sponge or soft brush with it and
lraw this through your hair, taking
)ne small strand at time; by morn
ng all gray hairs have Disappeared
md, after another application or
wo, your hair becomes beautifully
lark, glossy, soft and luXuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
,oilet requisite and is not intended for
he cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

SPANISH INFLUENZA WHAT IT Isl
and HOWIT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New-Simply the Old Grip, la Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1SS99O, Only Then 1t Came
From Russia By Way of France and
This Time By Way of Spain.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.

In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, TO aid in loosenlng the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing
easier Vicl1'S NapORub will be found
effective. Hot, wet towels should be
applied over the throat, chest and
back between the shoulder blades to
open the pores. Then VapoRub
should De rubbed in over the parts
until the skin is red spread on thick
ly and covered with two thicknesses
Of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck as the
heat of the body liberates the ingred-
tents in the form of VapOrs. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time.
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that
this is a germ disease. spread
principally by human contact, chiefly
through coughing, sneezing or spit
ting. SO avoid persons having colds
which means avoiding crowds
common drinking cups, roller towe S,
etc. Keep up your bodily strength
by plenty of exercise in the open air,
and good food. Above all, keep free
from colds, as colds irritate the lin
ing of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places for
the germs.
Use Clicks VapoRub at the very
first sign of a cold. For a head cold,
melt a little VapoRub in Il spoon and
inhale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in d benzoin steam kettle.
If this is not available,
use an ordinary tea kettle.
Fill half full of boiling water put in
time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
NOTE.
Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of
a North Carolina druggist. who found
how to combine, in 'salve form, Men
thol and Camphor with such volatile
oils as Eucalytus, Thyme. Cubebs,
etc, so that when the salve. is APP
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of
vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England
and a few Western states where it is
just now being introduced, but in the
other sections of the country it is the
standard home remedy in over mil
lion homes for all forms of cold
troubles. Over six million jars were
sold last year It is particularly
recommended for chi1drens Group or
colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely
as desired without the slightest harm
full effects. VapoRub can be had in
three sizes at all druggists.

Washington, Oct. 10.-In answer to
the insistent question, how is the
Fourth Liberty loan really going, a
comparison today of records during
loan showed tl.cse lactS:
The Fourth campaign of three
weeks is half gone. and $1,791, 463,-
200 in subscriptions. OF 80 per cent.
of the $6,OOO,OO0,OO0 sought have
been reported. When the third cam
paign was half over, S1,371, 100000 or
SO per cent. of the total finally
reached, had been subscribed. This
record in the third loan drive. $780,
000,000 less than at the correspond
ing stage of the present drive, was
achieved in two weeks, as compared
with ten days which have passed i'll
the current campaign.
These facts seem to show that
progress in the Fourth loan is COM
parable to that of the third, which
was highly successful. Treasury Of
ficials point out, however, that the
$4,000 100000 credit which the peo-
pie now are trying to accumulate for
the governments use is twice as large
as that sought in the third campaign
and is nearly so per cent. greater than
the $4176.OO0, 1000 actually subscribed
to the third loan.
In the present campaign, a larger
inflow of subscriptions from big bus
mess interests ard individuals of
wealth is expected. To a large extent,
however, these already have been en-
tered and are included in the current
totals.
Hence the cautionary plea that
every individual should double his
third loan subscription.
More than $13, 100000 has been
subscribed in the navy toward the
Fourth loan Rear Admiral Cowie re-
ported today.
Remember the Tampa, rallying
crv originated by the United States
coast guard and used in boosting its
subscriptions from $4,000 to $780,
600, now is being sent to coast guard
stations everywhere.
w. A. Frazier, sovereign com mand-
er of the Woodmen of the World, to-
day notified Secretary McAdoo that
his organization had subscribed ST.
100000 to the loan.
The American Defense society,
through it's board Of trustees, is to
subscribe $4,000 in Fourth Liberty
Loan bonds as a nucleus of foun-
dation to secure continuance of the
society as Il permanent organization.
