BUY WATCHES TO GET GOLD
to Increase Their Supply of the
Precious Metal.

It is an oddity of the world war that
the jewelry trade Is flourishing. A Sc
cret article In the Revue Suisse d'Ex-
portation of Geneva gives an interest
ing view of this situation and also sug-
gests a method by which the central
empires undoubtedly have increased
their gold supply-namely, the impOr-
tation Of gold jewelry to be melted in
to bullion.
In the course Of the crisis provoked
by the European war we pass from one
surprise to another, says the Revue.
The belligerent countries, one after an
other, have imposed measures forbid
ding the importation of luxuries and
watches. In spite of all these difficult
ties the orders, particularly for gold
watches Of medium price, are received
in increasing numbers by our watch
makers, while those for watches OF
high and low prices are few.
The jewelry trade has passed
through prosperous period, which is
height. Everything went we'll so long
as there were no abuses, but the time
came when jewelry, especially heavy
gold chains without much workman
ship, began to be exported to the ORR
ent. High prices were paid for these
articles. Gold (fne) in Switzerland is
valued at about $720 a kilo (2.2
pounds) and in the Orient, or al
Vienna, it is quoted at $2.4OO per kilo.
There is, therefore, a considerable
margin which allows large profit to
our manufacturers and their agents,
also to foreign merchants. These ar
ticles. however. are not all destined
for Turkey. A great many of them
find their way into the central EN-
pires.
When steps were taken to check this
trade numerous orders for watches
with cheap movements in heavy gold
cases came flowing into the watch
making centers. These orders were
destined for Constantinople. The
scheme was perfectly apparent, and
government authorities took prompt
measures to put stop to the proceed.

Italians Save Wood Ashes.

Increased wood-burning and scarcity
Of chemical fertilizers are reported by
Consul Haven of Turin to be turning
attention in Italy to the saving and
collection Of wood ashes. OF the many
constituents, the potash is of impor-
tance for fertilizing. The potash in
wood ash averages 6 to 10 per cent,
and the quantity per ton of wood
ranges from one pound from spruce to
S.31 from oak and S.6 from elm. A
ton of wormwood yields 1908 pounds
of potash in 241.73 of ash; fumaria,
174.16 pounds Of potash in 4S2.S1 of
ash.

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts Of the body and feeling of Sc
we're sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some Of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
Of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics of influen-
"a Of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
was another f1are-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
1 Although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
fall Of 1917"
How can Spanish Influenza" be rec
ognized?
There is as yet no certain way in
which single case of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9th
er hand, recognition Is easy where
there is group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics Of influenza
may occur at any season Of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely In Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
fever, pain, depresSiOn) are by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset as they are In influenza. Final
~. ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
I'm most cases a person taken sick
with Influenza feels sick rather sud-
1enly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over Many patients feel
lizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
ients complain of feeling chilly, and
With this comes a fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 1O4. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
y slow.
SIN appearance one Is struck by the
act tnat the patient looks sick. His
Eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or CON

here may be some cough. These signs
If a cold may not be marked; never

Do All You Gan To Prevent
 SPANISH INFLUENZA

Every precaution should be employed at this time to safeguard your family. You can't do too much. Gargles and sprays for the throat and nose are used, but do not overlook the proper disinfecting of your home keep all trash and rubbish burned. and every day go over the woodwork in the house with a suitable mop or broom moist ened with GERMO, this preparation is highly recommended by local doctors as a perfect germicide and should by all means be in every home in the city. Place little GERMO in cups or sauc- CTS and place in each room, nothing will help more than this to keep down the influenza epidemic. If any one in the family is already sick, by all means get this preparation and use it freely It may be the means of keeping the other members of your household from con- tracting the disease. Be sure and report any sickness at once to your doctor.
 GERMO is sold exclusively by Masons Pharmacy, Second street. and East Washington.

A Hare Grained Political Trick

The rawcst. most sonseless campaign move ord is that of the democratic political managers in addressing the proprctors of the moving picture houses of tho country. soliciting. rather. command ccrins their facilities publicity for democratic pgn purposes The propretors of the Phoenix houses or at least. two of them have been informed that series of slides has been prepared by the Democratic national committee to be forwarded to them to be used between the present and the end of the campaign. There set forth in these slides the why democratic congressman should be elected-because the president who is democrat wants them elected.
 The committee fails to take into account that all nropretors are not democrats; that their houses are not conducted for political purposes and further that they may not offend part their audiences by a display of partisanism.
 This is the insanest party trick we have ever heard of IL indicates crazy belief on the part of the committee that the people of the country with the possible exception of small groups of republicans here and there have been led by their loyalty to the con- -aander-in-chef of the army and navy to become and throw overheard all of those principles -hich have made them republicans

Mr. Daniels Navy

Our readers must have observed for the last year or more that when The Republican has had occasion to speak of Josephus Daniels it has done in com plimentary way. This has been to pleasing ance for having misjudged him in the beginning of his administration. That less excusable by of the fact that he is newspaperman. Clannish ness alone should have given a clearer view sf him. We should have known that he would rise to the occasion. has done
 While he was making those innovations in the navy. substituting grape juice for something exharating and abolishing old distinctions that humiating to enlisted men, he making for greater efficiency we have since seen, and not merely modelling to appear be doing something He was removing barnacles and a result of his work when found ourselves at the navy de- partment alone ready
 Mir Daniels evidently does not share with other statesmen this side the Atlantic (there none but dreamers the other side who share it) tion that disarmament and unreadness will guaranty a perpetual peece. He has just asked congress appropriation of s6OOOOO,OOO for another three years naval program and congress will be very shortsighed if it should wthohd the appropriation.
 There will be people in the world after the war, very much the kind of people inhabited it before the war. They will be somewhat shocked and weary of for time but they will be as selfish and ambitious the people before the war were. There may be a league for peace composed of the strongest and best ntenoned nations but Agreements more often than have to be enforced. It is for that in civil life that have sheriffs constabes. posses comatus and jais. If depended wholly upon good will would be into state of anarchy, the strong would triumph and might would rule. Force must prevail earth and it is better that it should be organized force.
 For the that MT. Daniels wants stronger this nation should want universal mil
 ry training service and readiness instead of dreams of peace which is to be maintained by universal acquiescence.

LUKE SENSAT|0NOF AMERICAN AVIATION
 PARIS HERALD SAYS

The many daring exploits of Lieu tenant Frank Luke, Jr, of Phoenix, the American aviator whose dashins and dare devil acts in destroying so many Hun balloons and airplanes have put him at the top of the list of aces, have made him equally famous in Europe and America. His exploits have been discussed and reviewed in all the great newspapers of both coun- tries.
 The Paris edition of the New York Herald on October 3, a copy of which has just been received by Mrs. Claude D. Jones from Captain Jones' gives to Lieutenant Luke preferred space, the top of the first column, first page This account, which says that Lieu tenant Like sailed away on Satur- day night and did not return, gives the impression that this famous avia- tor of Phoenix now is missing. But that is not correct Since the date of | the account in the Paris paper, October 3, Lieutenant Luke has been heard from. The account says:
 Lieutenant Luke, at once one of the mysteries and sensations of American aviation, sailed off Saturday night. did not return, was set down as missing | as he is known to be a dare devil. playing lone hand and taking chances few fliers ever take many times. "On Monday evening the following note was- dropped by an aeroplane passing over a balloon observation post; Watch for burning Boche bal loons.-Luke. The observer was told
 to keep his eyes open. In ten minutes he counted three Boche balloons which came down in flames.
 Lieutenant Luke frequently lands
 in field and passes the night sleep ing in a blanket. He flies off in the
 morning, getting gasoline in any
 field he happens to approach He is
 mere boy and comes from Phoenix. | Arizona"

FINE COMPLIMENT
 ID JUDGE FRANKLIN

The appointment yesterday by Presi- dent Wilson of Judge Alfred Franklin, chief justice of the supreme court of Arizona, as collector of internal revenue for the district composed of Arizona and New Mexico, confirms the rumOr that could not be substantiated because of the absence of Judge Franklin from the city.
 It is regarded by government off cials here, however, as a fine appre- citation of his character and services. Judge Franklins term will expire Jan urary 1, at which time if he does not resign before, he will take up the du- ties of the position recently vacated by Lewis T. Carpenter. The new appointee is in Washington at present.
 His selection came as a surprise to his friends, as well as to several men in Arizona and New Mexico, who had aspirations in that direction. It was generally believed that New Mexico, man would be named, owing to the fact that Arizona had the last appointment.
