FLU CURE NO. $3.50
Put Sulphur in Your Shoes, AS
safoetida on Your Mustache

Every newspaper, these Gays, Is
publishing many recipes for the
prevention and cure of influenza.
EIf a fellow takes all of them, he is
sure not to have influenza, for the
|combination of remedies will kill
him before the ''fu" can get him.
But there are some absolutely
harmless remedies, which people
may try without fear of any evil
results. Amongst them is the fol-
lowing, which was clipped from a
newspaper and handed to The
Herald by an esteemed friend:
Put small amount of sulphur
lin each shoe every morning and
fgood-by influenza.
This is the remedy offered to
the people Of Atlanta by a Geor-
gia doctor who has been practic-
ing in Dixie for forty years and
who went through the yellow few
er epidemic in New Orleans in
1887 unscathed.
His account Of the successful
trials Of this remedy follows:
"In the early eighties | moved
to Louisiana to practice medicine,
and remained in the town where
| first located for nearly twenty
years. The town in which | To-
Gated was in the southwestern
portion of the state and had large
sugar and lumber industries,
therefore | met many travelling
men, and one in particular | re-
member from Memphis, Tenn,
who told me one evening that he
had nursed yellow fever and
cholera in all its stages, had as
sisted in burying the dead, and
that the only precaution he ever
took was to sprinkle sulphur in
his shoes every morning during
the epidemic and that he had nev-
er contracted the disease; further
more, every one he told about it
and who had tried it, not a single
one had had the disease.
- In 1897 we had an endemic
OF yellow fever, and remembering
what this gentleman had told me
tried it, Notwithstanding | had
very little confidence in it. I shall
never regret having tried it, for
escaped the fever, although
nursed it in all it's stages durinO
the entire epidemic. Now what
has this to do with influenza Il
has the same to do with it that il
had to do with yellow fever and
cholera-kill the germ. I believe
when the system is thoroughly
saturated with the sulphur. .,
suggested, it will prevent tbr
germs Of any disease from at.
Itaeking the system. Ther,. is n,
doubt that sulphur will penctrat(
the system readily, for when on,
takes sulphur in the system and
has a silver dollar in his pock,t
Ilt will be turned black, caused h,
the sulphuretted hydrogen IT,,
1T and see; Now it would be very
little trouble to have the boys II II
the camps carry out this snooos
ION and thus break up the lis
ease which is causing so mnn}
deaths. I" "i'ii'

Approval and Correction
Editor Herald. Punta Gorda .

1NAtOA lANt dAd, utibd 0OI0d
Dear Sir:-T There is very much
sound sense in your editorial last
week touching proposed econo-
mics In the way of our state and
county taxes. But are you not
IN error about the criminal court
of record in DeSoto county? /
have been here since 1911 and I
never heard of any criminal court
OF record nearer than Tampa.
And the next nearest at Orlando.
1t certainly does not sit at the
county court house at Arcadia.
Furthermore, while j have heard
several wild bits of legislation
suggested since / came here,
have never yet learned of any pro-
posed bill to create such court.
Really, you ought to correct that
part Of your editorial
Respectfully yours,
ARTHUR f. ODLIN.
NOTE. We thank Judge Cd
lin for the correction. The court
at Arcadia which we tried to des-
ignate, is some sort Of county
court whose legal or technical
kname we do not know. All we
know about it is that it has juris-
diction over criminal cases that
should be tried before district
justices of the peace, and that it
has capable presiding judge and
a capable prosecuting attorney,
who, we believe, are paid salaries.
1t is a needless expense, because
its work can be done by justices of
the peace and that, too, at much
less cost to the taxpayers. ED

This Large Sum Available Durlng
Next Two Years For Repairs,
Bridges, Links.
Over nine millions of dollars, or to
be exact, $9,460,000, will be avail
able for public roads in Maryland
during the next two years. This
large sum will be devoted to the con-
struction of links to join up main
lines. to the building of bridges over
Bohemia and Severn Rivers, and to
the repair of roads which are in bad
shape in different parts of the state
To the total available may be added
appropriations by the federal govern.
ment for the repair Of roads dam
aged by heavy army trucks.
The several sums and the pur.
poses to which they are to be de-
voted are:
$3,OO0,OOO bond issue (new con
struction).
$3,OOO,OO0 for repairs and main
tenance.
$1,6OO,OOO for state and count,
aided roads.
$360,000 for bridge fund.
100000 for federal fund.
100000 from auto fees for main
tenance.
Total, $9,460,00N.
No specific links were mentioned
in the General Roads Bill, which
passed the legislature, to be con
structed out of the funds to be de
rived from the sale of bonds. Thu
State Roads Commission has tn
power to select roads to be built
The commission will not, however
embark upon this enterprise if TIN
costs Of material and labor are eX
cessive. In fact, it is more thai
probable that new construction dur
ing the next two years, because o
conditions arising from the war, will
be limited. The funds for this worl
have, however, been authorized a
was the case with the Council o
Safety. There will be no expendi
lures on a large scale unless emer
gencies arise. This means tn
authorized bonds will not be sol
until their sale is imperative.
There will, however, be no della
in repairing the damaged roads
This work must be done at once t.
save them from humiliation. TIL
federal government is expected t
contribute a good-sized sum in re
pairing roads which have been cut t
pieces by heavy army trucks.
The sum of 100000, to be, de
rived from the federal government
is Maryland's share of the appropria
tions by Congress to the severa
states for public road purposes. l
possible a part Of this fund will b.
devoted to the Improvement of tn

(TO BE CONTINUED
CHILEAN GOLD RESERVE HERE
Peculiar Deal by Which 1t Was
Transferred From Germany to
the United States.

At the outbreak of the war, says
the London Economist, the Chilean
government owned large amount of
gold in Germany, which was destined
to form basis for its note issue, and
was held up by the blockade. So were
vast quantities of nitrateS, bought
from German producers in Chile for
export to Germany, and their stoppage
compelled the German nitrate pro-
ducers in Chile to cease working.
These producers too were in debt to
the Chilean government. That gov
eminent therefore bought the nitrate,
paying for it by drafts on Berlin
drawn against the gold which it could
not reach. 1t then sold the nitrate in
the United States to the Dupont Ex-
plosives company, receiving payment
in gold in New York. Thus it trans
ferred it's gold reserve from Germany
to the United States, and incidentally
added to the stock of raw material to
be converted into explosives where
with to defeat German troops. The
deal has naturally been interpreted in
France as a preliminary step toward
a breach with Germany, but it was
carried out with the sanction of the
German government. Partly, no doubt,
the latter desired to extricate it's SUBJ
jects in Chile and an important Ham
burg mercantile firm from their seri-
Gus pecuniary difficulties, but it must
also have been moved by an extreme
anxiety to keep on good terms with
Chile. which contains a large German
population and is al important field
for German trade.

Many VIII Claim spitzberoen.

More than 300 years ago, in 1914,
James I of England, formally claimed
Spitzbergen. The Muscovy company,
British concern, was ordered 'to up
hold the kings right to SpitZbergep"
by an order in council. That claim
was allowed to lapse in the same man.
ner in which the Russian claim lapsed,
the Britons interested in the country
say.
With the end of the war old data
will be dug up, with records of COM
paratively recent times, to bolster the
contentious of the various claimants,
as Spitzbergen is sure to occupy a
prominent place in north European af-
fairs. Uncle Sam is happily out of the
matter because of the sale by the Arc
tic Coal company, although judg-
ing by precedent it never was likely
that this country would go so far as
to desire. to exercise suzerainty over
the land. Such a course was urged
in America in 1912 and 1913.

CHAPTER VIIl.
The Spanish DoubIoon.

On the whole, Pancho Cueto's plans
had worked smoothly. After denounc-
ing the Varona twins as traitors he had
managed TO have himself appointed
trustee for the crown, for all their
properties, contamination for which he
had worked from the moment he read
that letter of ESteban's on the morn
ing after Donna Isabers death. That
there was a treasure Cueto had never
doubted, and, once the place was his
TO do with as he chose, he began his
search.
Commencing at the lower edge Of the
grounds, he ripped them up with a Sc
ries of deep trenches and croSs-cuts.
It was a task that required the labor
OF many men for several weeks, and
when it was finished there was scarce
" Il growing thing left upon the place.
Only a few of the larger trees re-
manned. Caeto was disappointed at
finding nothins. bat he was not dis
couraged. Next he tore down the old
slave barracocns and the eStbuildings,
