For some reason the millinery of
midwfnter is more cOlorful and some
what more elaborate than that which
in the fall season, although
the simply trimmed hat cannot be
outclassed. But variety is the spice of
millinery as well as of life, and some
of the latest arrivals in the assemblies
of midwinter hats are far from simple.
The hat at the center of the picture
is an instance of this new departure.
In the face of a vogue for sedate COZ
ors and meager trimmings, its design
er has chosen to be audacious and has
INDICATED her choice by making a
beautiful hat. 1t is picturesque
model with a wide brim, faced with
rose-colored crepe and edged with n
double frill of velvet in that cool
brown called elephant" The brim is
wider at the left side than elsewhere
and has as many graceful turns and
curves as the edge Of a flower petal.
A whole company of small curling
ostrich heads-which is the millinery
name for little plumes-fnds a resting
place on it and they are of the same
shade of brown. The crown is rather
high and lifts at the left with a band
of tucked betting ribbon about 1t in
rose color.
Just to show that quite a lot of
trimming can be used successfully,
rather large brown beads are set at
wide intervals about the upper edge
of the ribbon, and even the lovely
little ostrich plumes are not left alone
in their glory-brown japanese al
grettes xpring up among them
Another lovely midwinter hat, at the
right of the picture, brings visions OF
thearer partfes-weddings and all
sorts of bright assemblies 1t il of

the regal wrap pictured. 1t covers Its
wearer from neck to shoe top, looks
warm and is warm, and it is really n
splendid achievement Of the cloth man
ufacturer and the designer.
One wonders where all the pelts
come from that go to make up ever
present furs. 1t seems as if many
species of animals must become ex-
tinct before long. In the meantime fur
fabrics are showing their ability TO
take the place of skins and may grad
ually replace them; at any rate they
are already joining forces in making
wraps that are everything we could
wish for.

colors, pale rose, blue and lavender,
in bands inside a border of taupe on
the underbrim. 1t is one of the few
very wide-brimmed hats that have
fourished in the midst Of much more
numerous small ones.
At the left a brown beaver hat with
a crushed collar of velvet about the
crown has only a fancy pompon of
uncurled ostrich for ornament There
is furore for beaver hats and there
fore 1t is sure of as much considera-
ton as its more trimmed rivals.

Go to Bed and Stay Quiet =

Up your Strength - Ma

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FoR PANIC

MI OSOASiON F0h FfAfNtS
Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearances
of grip, or la grippe, which has SWEEP
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history, runs. Hippo
rates refers to an epidemic in 412
b. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had its attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1SS9-9O.
There is no occasion for panic-inf1u-
enza itself has very low percentage
of fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
N. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in a rundown
condition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it is now called,
usually begins with a chill, followed by
aching, feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 104,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining of the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances of a 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
n purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinfne, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cif1c for inf1uenZa-the disease must
run its 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 pneu-
Eionia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons it is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
IL you are over so or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity of the attack.

Consumption of beans by the United
States army averages 621z tons a day.
Dried beans are q popular dish among
Uncle Sans soldiers, and they receive
the best that can be furnished. Beans
have a high value as food and are
especially suitable for men under in
tensive training, experts of the war
department have found.
All the beans required by the United
States and the allies for the coming
year will be obtained through one pur-
chaser, the food administration grain
corporation, which has made arrange
ments to inspect and pay cash for
beans in the producing fields. This
will eliminate delay in payments and
insure the purchase Of beans at a
lower figure.

Amiens for some time. Less than
two months has been required ia

NOTIFY WITNESSES FOR

nesesses for the state are being
summoned to appear on May 2S,
when j. Graham Hege will be placed

erick, cashier of a local bank here.
Since the preliminary hearing be-
fore Recorder j. II. Meyer, Hege has
made no attempt to secure bail and
has remained in Davidson county
jail. Interest here isa heightened
by speculation over whether the wife
OF the defendant, will testify in his
behalf. There have been rumors in
weeks past that she would not ap-
pear at the trial, Such rumors ap-
paraDtly hold no elements OF un-
easiness for counsel for the defense,
who expect her to be the strongest
ally OF her husband in his fight for
acquittal. The tentative date set for

The immediate result OF greatest
Importance probably is that the bat

Will be available to fill up other Brit
ish divisions to full strength for the
oraginZation of new British divis-
ions, as General Haig deems best To
that extent, the Americans are now
acting as reinforcements for the
British lines. If the course OF the
German offensive permits, the same
practice followed in training Gen
eral Pershing's original forces prob
ably will be carried out in Flanders.
In that case the divisions with which
American units have been brigaded
will be given front line duty in quiet
sectors for a time until the Ameri-
cans are seasoned to trench war
fare. Thereafter, the divisions un-
doubtedly will be used wherever the
course Of battle takes them. The
Americans are a part of the British
army until it shall deem wise to
withdraw them for service directly

Therefore. not one car produced this
year has in any way interfered with
the prosecution of the war. There
is crying need for steel" you say.
which is needed for ships, ordnance
and munition." Very true. but the
total amount of steel used by the en-
tire automobile industry OF the United
States is a very small fraction of per
cent of the total output, and even
this is of special quality which in it's
purpose does not compete with any of
that required by the government.

briefly. all the new automobiles pro-
duced this year have served to relieve
freight congestion more than they
have emphasized this condition. Few
automobiles are delivered by freight
driven away by the dealers from
