ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FoR PANIC

= NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
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
SIS far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic in 412
3. 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 18S9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-infiu-
enZa itself has a very low percentage
OF fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases. according to the
n. c. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in q rundown
condition-thOse who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as 1t is now called,
Usually begins with a chill, followed by
aching, feveriShness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a 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. Quinine, aspirin or DoVer's
Powders, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for influenza-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-
nionia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation Of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
Suns it is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days
OF more after the fever has left you, or
If you are over so or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity of the attack.

have it-that they are so much loved.
This little wrap has pockets in the
ends at the front. A muh to wear
with it in cold weather is of Sealskin,
like it, but has no squirrel trimming.
In spite of the liking for old wraps,
nothing equals in popularity scarf and
muff sets. There is 8 great variety
in them and in capes with muffs to
match, and one need never question
their good style. Handsome furs do
not need to follow fashions whims-
they are too rich for that.

Braid trimmings from the narrow

Uneven FrInoe,

Fringe is still used with distinction.
This is a style that might easily have
been run to the. ground, but because of
the cleverness Of the designers it is
still good style and excellent results
are still obtained with fringe of many
sorts. Perhaps a mark OF the newer
usage OF fringe is this: Unevenness.
Fringe on the edges OF panels is so put
on that It hangs very often in irregular
or uneven lines. Some Of the new
frocks and blouses have frfnZed
sleeves, with uneven edges. Some
times, even, the fabric OF the frock IT
self is fringed out to give the right

Inspection of Ballots Gives Bar
Harbor Republican Representative.
An official inspection OF ballots at the
office of the secretary Of state in Augusta
yesterday shows that an error was made
in the returns of the vote for representa-
tive in Bar Harbor in the recent election.
The returns by the election officials
indicated the election of IL. l.. Graham,
democrat, over DR.. George A. Phillips,
repu blican, by vote of 1858 to 34S. The
inspection practically reverses these
returns, giving DR.. Phillips 1853 votes and
Mr.. Graham BAT.
Mr.. Graham was present at the in
spection, and stated that no doubt ap-
peared to exist of the election OF DR..
Phillips A certificate of election had al
ready been issued to him, but he said he
should return it.
DR.. Phillips will then petition for re-
opening AND review of the ballots by the
governor and council, and ask for GER
tificate OF election.
This change will make the House 1T

OBEY THE ORDERS.

We have heard of no grumbling or
attempts at evasion of the orders of
the Food Administration in our own
community but we frequently read
of the penalties being applied for
violations in other places.
There should he strict and cheer
full compliance with the law by ev-
cry one, and from what we hear of
it there has been an impartial ap-
plication of the penalties where vio-
lators are reported.
In some cases these penalties have
been severe, but the enormity of the
offense seems to usually determine
the penalty.
Below is the case Of Swift & Co.,
who are the largest food distributors
in New York City as reported by the
New York World:
1.-The power of the United States
Food administration was publicly ac-
l;nowledged late yesterday afternoon
by the largest corporation in this
country dealing in foodstuffs.
"a notice placed in the window of
the offices of Swift & Co., No. 80
Tenth Avenue, announced that, by
order of the Federal Food Board of
this city, the concern would not deal
in eggs in this city for the next thir-
ty days. This morning similar no
tees will go up in the windows of
the nine branches of the Swift con-
Germ in this city that handle eggs.
Part of the punishment for buy
ing and selling eggs at prices above
that fixed by the Food Administra-
ton has not yet been paid by Swift
& Co. The corporation must buy Lib
erty bonds with the $4,000 profit on
the offending transaction, give the
Liberty bonds to the New York Chap
ter of the Red Cross and present. the
receipt of the Red Cross to the Fed
eral Food Board in this city"
Certainly when the big offenders
are thus punished the law is being
impartially administered.
Obey the law yourself and do not
ask any one else to violate it to do
you a favor.
The Marietta journal and courier., 1918-04-19
HONOR AND CREDIT DUE
PATRIOTIC BANKERS

In summing up the patriotic work
done by the various citizens for the
causes of the war, very large share
of credit must be given those bank
ers of the county, who have so cheer
fully and freely given their time and
service to the work of the various
committees raising finances.
AS the government itself is, in a
way, in competition with the banks,
when it seeks to borrow money, as
through the THRIFT Stamps and Lib
erty Loans, nothing but pure un-
adulterated patriotism can be attri-
buted to those bankers who have
been so freely aiding in the work.
Much money must be withdrawn
from the banks for investment in
these loans and yet we see the bank
ers giving their time and service, and
even paying for advertising these
matters for the government.
Other business interests have also
been free helpers in these campaigns,
but what we wished to remind our
people of, is the fact that the bank
ers are competitors in finance, and
only the most patriotic motives could
command and secure such service Of
them.
