SPANISH INFLUENZA IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1889-9e, 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 loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub 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 be rubbed in
over the parts until the skin is red,
spreaL on thickly and cover with two
: thicknesses OF hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberates the in
gradients 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 AVON 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, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
D,,b Geo.
sign of cold. For head cold, melt
| little VapoRub in 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 wa
ter, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to t,me-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-Vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how TO combine. in salve
form, MenthOl ard Camphor With such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebs, ETC., so that when the salve is ap-
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England and
few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other sec
tons of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms of cold troubles
Over six million jars were sold last
yeaT. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all DRUGGISTS IT is Darticular-
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
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
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic in 412
B. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
hos had its attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-influ-
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 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 ii is now called,
usually begins with 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
IA 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 viii
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
OF more after the fever has left you, or
If you are over so or not strong stay
I'm bed four days or more, according to
the severity of the attack.

Why is II that the Teutonic pow
ers always start off with a lie in
every alleged peace move that they
have made? Evidently the answer
is that they still think they can
deceive the nations of the world by
the same lying diplomatic tricks that
they have perpetrated for such long
period. For instance. one of the re-

Although politics have been post
poned until after the Liberty loan is
n success, there are a few people who
will gather in the corridors and some
times on the street corners and talk
about the next presidential election,
which is more than two years distant.
AS general thing we hear ii stated
that Roosevelt seems to be about the
only man in sight for the Republican
nomination. although Senator Harding
Of Ohio comes In for frequent sec
ond mention. OF course II is quite
well understood that Senator Weeks of
Massachusetts and Senator Watson of
Indiana are both In the race and are
likely to have considerable follow
ing when the convention meets unless
there should be a general concentra-
tion upon some one candidate Tx
Colonel Roosevelt. 1t is also said that
in case Charles s. Whitman is elected
governor of New York for third
time he will be a very formidable fig.
ure In the next PRESIDENTIAL race. II
might be said that the Democrats dis
cuss only one man, but that is hardly
true, for they discuss other possibiH-
ties with an ''if." Generally the Dem
ocrats say that 'ff President Wilson is
not candidate to succeed HIMSELF
then Secretary McAdoo is likely to be
the Democratic choice. There is scarce
II any divergence of opinion among
Democrats on that line.

Politicians disputed for more than

We're made to create a merchant

were never large enough to cause

built In American yards, were about
the only addition to the American

subsidy. Then there was talk about
changing our navigation laws, but that
war with Germany is going to create
merchant marine. We have beaten
the subsidy plan all to pieces. The
government is building its own ships
and manning them and they will be
ready for peaceable commerce after
the war ends. Perhaps the government
won't continue in the ocean carrying
trade. but there ought to be common
sense enough In the management Of
governmental affairs to secure an or

We have to get all the good out of

pointed out that there is enough fuel
oil wasted In fits use by people TO sup
ply the needs of the government. in
Guiding the navy. at the present time.
Strange as 1t may seem, government
officials must go through the country
and teach people how not to
waste oil This waste before the
war extended to nearly everything.
People have learned to save and found
out that they have not injured them
selves thereby. The lessons of saw
Ing and thrift and stopping waste
