and sometimes inflammation of the mid
die ear, or heart affections. For these
reasons, 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 if you are over SO or not
strong, stay in bed four days or more,
according to the severity of the at
tack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grip germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing easi-
er, Vick's VapoRub will be found eff
fective. Hot, wet towels should be
applied over the throat, chest and
back between the shoulder blades to
open the pores. Then VapoRub should
be rubbed in over the parts until the
skin is red, spread on thickly and COW
cred with two thicknesses of hot flan-
mel cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck as the heat of the
body liberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, in
hailed with each breath, carry the
medication directly to the parts af-
fected. 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 germ disease. spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty of
exercise in the open air, and good
food. Above all, keep free from colds
! air passages and render them much
better breeding places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of cold. For head cold,
melt little in a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If
this is not available, use an ordinary
tea-kettle. Fill half full of boiling
water, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo-
Rub from time to time-keep the
kettle just slowly boiling, and inhale
the steam arising.
i NOTE:-Vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine in salve
form Menthol and Camphor with such
essential oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme
!, Cubebs, ETC., so that when the salve
is applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form OF
vapOrs.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
, New York, New England and a few
!, western states, where it is just now
, being introduced. In other sections
, of the country, however, it is the
: standard home remedy in over a mil
, lion homes for all forms of cold trou-
bles-more than six million jars were
sold last year.
| 1t is particularly recommended for
, children's Group or colds, since it is
. externally applied and, therefore, can
7 be used as freely as desired without
the slightest harmful effects. Vapo.

Spanish Influenza which appeared
in Spain in May has all the appear
ance of grip or la grippe, which has
swept over the world in numerous cpl
denies as far back as history runs.
Hippoprates refers to an epidemic in
ALP B. c. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every cen
tury has had it's attacks. Beginning
with 1881, this country has had five
epidemics, the last in 1889-90.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as it is now call
ed, usually begins with a chill follow
ed by aching, feverishness and some
times nausea and dizziness, and a gen
eral feeling of weaksess and depres-
sion. The temperature is from 100 tc
104, and the fever usually lasts from
three to five days. The germs at
tack the mucous membrane, or lining
of the air passages-nose, throat anC
bronchial tubes-there is usually {
hard cough, especially bad at night
often times a sore throat or tonsili
tbs, and frequestly all the appearance:
of a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms, no
only for your own sake but to avoit
spreading the disease to others-tak'
purgative. eat plenty of nourishins
food, remain perfectly quiet and dom
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover'
Powder, etc., may be administered b.
the physicians direction to relieve th'
aching. But there is no cure OF spe
cific for influenza-the disease mus
run it's course, but nature herself will
throw off the attack if only you keel
up your strength. The chief DANCE
lies in the complications which ma,
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodi
ly resistance that there is danger o
pneumonia or bronchitis developin,

which has been running in these col
umns for the past three weeks, of the
st. Francois County Hereford Breed

ming at o'clock, at the Clardy farm,

The annual sale of this Association
last year, which was held at the same

Why Leave This
State for Iron Ore?

In recent issue of the st. Louis
Star appeared the following editorial
on a subject that, in the opinion Of
The Times, is of utmost Importance,
not only to this great State, but the
proper solution of which would 90 a
long way toward solving the congest-
ed condition of handling the freight
traffic of the country:
"Some anomalous facts develop
when the matter of transportation
and railroad congestion is looked into
and when local industrial conditions
are studied. One of these is the fact
that twenty cars of iron ore are
hauled to St. Louis daily from Du-
luth, 750 miles distant, while i'm
mense deposits of better quality of
ore lie right here in Missouri. This
looks like woeful waste Of car space
and fuel. Even if this ore came down
the Mississippi in barges there would
still be railroad haul from Duluth to
st. Paul and the fuel waste of the
towage.
''In the past Missouri ore was fam
Gus and in one year as many as q
582, 1894 tons of it were mined and put
through the furnace, chiefly in this
State. In view of the prospective
large increase in the iron and steel
industry in the St. Louis district, it
would seem as though this is a mat
ter which should interest the director
of railroads in its transportation as
pect, and the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce in it's local development
feature. The question we'll may be
asked why there is all this waste in
using Messaba ore insteSi of Missou-
ri ore and why the business interests
of st. Louis do not do something about
it"
In the proper handling of this prob
lem, it should be borne in mind that,
right here in st. Francois county,
there are still great deposits of iron
ore, of the best quality, the mining of
which would largely supply all home
consumption, without the long rail-
road haul from Minnesota, when the
cars that are thus employed could be
used so advantageously in other lines
of industry. This is an age when
economic measures of every descrip-
tion should be employed, and this sub
ject presents methods for the exer-
else of real economy.

Must Have One
Great Celebration

When the wires flashed forth the
eagerly awaited information that Ger
many had Internationally surrendered,
tears of rejoicing welled up in the
heart and burst forth from the eyes
of everyone. Pennington simply
went wild with joy and inexpressible
delight. The fire whistle, as well as
every other whistle in this vicinity
burst forth in expressions of cheering
delight, the bells also pealed forth the
gladsome news, and the rest of the day
was given over to firing anvils, guns
and tearing loose of everything that
would make big noise.
At Flat River the stores all closed
for the remainder Of the day, the
workers all came out of the mines,
and everyone combined in making it a
long to- aforementioned holiday.
Now is the time for all true Ameri-
cans to get together and fix date
for one great celebration. But in such
celebration no place should be given
to those who have shown yellow,
Stacking tendencies. This celebration
must be for Americans only.

TAXATION MEETING

A meeting of the National Tax AS
sociation, which had been fixed to be
held at the Planters Hotel, in St.
Louis, on Nov. 18th to 10th, inclusive,
has been indefinitely postponed, ow-
ing to the ban which has been placed
against all public meetings, owing to
the influenza epidemic.
A splendid program had been pre-
pared for each of the six days of the
proposed meeting, many prominent
men from all parts of the country
having places on the program, for the
treatment and discussion of the very
important question of Taxation, in
its different phases. A most profita-
BILE and instructive meeting was antic-
ipated, but it is the intention to carry
over practically the same program
when the meeting is held.
The name of C. l. Garrett, Presiding
Judge of the st. Francois County
Court, appears on the Reception Com
mittee for this proposed meeting.
