promise to be large this year. Food
production must go on, in spite OF
high prices of feed, and the state fair
gives producers an opportunity each
year and new impetus toward in
creasing the quality of their herds.
Notwithstanding present discourage
ments, owners of pure bred herds
generally realize that after the war is
over the demand for beef and milk as
well as breeding stock will be enorm-
Gus, and are not cutting down their
herds to any great extent.
Sheep Coming to the Front.
Shortage of wool and mutton has
given the sheep business a fresh i'm
petus in Nebraska. Last year the
Nebraska state fair increased its
premiums on sheep, making special
classihcations for Nebraska breeders.
This brought out a much larger and
better class of sheep than in former
years. and the enormous increase in
the number of sheep in Nebraska dur
ing the past year will no doubt b: re-
fiected in the sheep department at the
1918 fair. The general public would
be surprised to learn how many diff
ferent breeds OF sheep there are and
how different are the qualities OF the
various breeds. A trip through the
sheep department and visit with the
various exhibitors is a liberal educa-
ton to the averag- man.
Poultry In the back yard and poul-
try on the farm will meet and COM
pete at the fair. Both have been en-
couraged by the government this
year, as poultry is a valuable addition
to the available meat supplies. The
Nebraska fair has always had a
splendid exhibit OF high-class birds
and entries made this year promise
the poultry fans plenty Of fine fowls
to look at and admire.
In addition to the regular exhibits.
4 class for rabbits has been made. as
rabbit breeders believe that the pres
ent meat shortage Is giving them an
opportunity to demonstrate the value
OF this little animal as meat pro-
ducer. Belgian and Flemish hares and
white French rabbits will be shown
and the differences between the
various breeds demonstrated to inter
ested spectators.
Home Grown Horse Exhibit.
No live stock exhibit has suffered
from the war to the extent the horse
section has. Last year there was a
very small exhibit of horses of all
kinds, except the children's favorites,
the Shetlands, which were out in full
force. For years past the finest draft
horses have been imported from
France and Belgium, and few Ameri-
can breeders have competed, as there
was little chance for them. the French
ands Belgian breeders being experts in
the breeding and developing Of draft
colts. After the import,tions were
cut off, American breeders got their
chance and are demonstrating the
fact that fine draft horses can be
raised in this country. Numbers of
American breeders are expected to
enter the lists this year with home
bred and home grown colts as big and
handsome as those that used to be
brought across the water. The light
er breeds that had been practically
displaced by the automobiles have re-
gained their place in public estimation
through the war demand, and it is

production. There will be three main
features in this department. The
food training camp, carried on un-
der the direction Of the department
OF home economics at the university
farm, will demonstrate by concrete
example the use Of substitutes in
cooking. The domestic products ex-
hibit will show to housewives the
various materials obtainable for cook
ing and how to use them. The can
ming clubs, especially those organized
among the boys and girls of the
state, will have = splendid exhibit of
the products preserved by them dur
ing the last summer for winter use
and the methods used.
Plenty Of Space for Babies.
In connection with the ever popu-
lar better babies exhibit this yeag
there will be a section for defective
children. Such children may be
brought for private examination by
expert physicians. The advice given
will be such as people usually must
pay large fees to get. No war work
is more important than the conserva-
ton of our children, according to the
belief of the fair board, who are Civ
ing plenty of space to better babies
this year.
Heavy bookings have been received
for the machinery exhibit. Lack of
men and animals to produce crops
has resulted in a greatly increased
interest in machinery and the inven-
ton and perfection OF numbers Of new
machines.
The two most important features
Of this exhibit will be, as usual, the
automobile and truck display and the
tractor show. There are more kinds

hoped that the light horse display will
approximate those in the days of the
light horses popularity.
Food Production and Conservation.
In spite OF the hot winds and hail
storms, which have damaged the
crops in various sections OF Nebras-
ka this year, the agricultural display
will be an eye opener. The weather
damage has been Spotted" and the
various counties will be able to get

size and quality those of former
years, and that will surpass them in
many cases. The western part Of the
state in particular has notified the
board that the exhibit will be espe-
cially interesting, as this has been an
unusually favorable season for that
section.

NEWSPAPER CRITICISED.
The following is also quoted from
the Tampa Tribune of November 9th,
1918:
Have the high prices for farm pro-
duce been such temptation, and the
inmates made to Suffer for proper
food, while the proceeds Of the states
farm have been squandered or divert
ed to strange pocket?''
The insinuationS made in this item
are wholly false, and The Tribune
made them without any foundation
in fact. An effort to besmirch in the
underhand style OF this paragraph is
unworthy a great Newspaper like the
Tribune.
While the press of the state has
been harsh in its criticisms, due to
the fact that it was not fully informed,
this board cannot undertake to an
swer each in detail.
The method of accounting is the
same for all institutions and is upon
a sound business basis. Purchases are
made upon competitive bids. Only such
bills as are itemized and have the ap-
prevail Of those in charge of an insti-
tuition are passed by the board and
sent to the comptroller, where they
are again carefully audited and paid
by warrant. Once a year the state au-
ditor examines the books and accounts
of all institutions.
With an epidemic of influenza raging
throughout the nation, it would indeed
be remarkable if this institution, with
over 95 per cent of the inmates, Off
Gals and other help stricken with the
disease practically at one time and I'M
able to get assistance, could maintain
it's normal sanitary condition. Upon
reflection one must realize that half
OF the households of this country, at
least, were in denoralized state from
this same cause.
1t might be said in passing that
during the last few months, in an eff
fort to relieve the overcrowded con-
dition of this institution, at the re-
quest Of this board, about one hun
dred boys were paroled on the recon-

mendation Of the superintendent.
There are about ninety of these boys
still at the school for the reason that
they have no homes to go to.
The board does not hold the super
intendent responsible for the condi-
tons growing out of this epidemic,
because no human being could have
prevented it, but it does hold him
accountable for not giving timely
alarm and promptly removed him. The
board will disnlrss all employees found
to be negligent in any respect.
We, therefore, submit this statement
to the candid judgment OF the citizens
of this state.

There is no occasion for panic-in.
fluenza or grip has a very low per-
centage Of fatalities-not over one
death out Of every four hundred cases
according to the N. c. Board OF
Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking prin-
cipally patients in a run down con-
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it 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 1O4,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
air passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually a hard
cough, especially bad at night, often
times sore throat or tonsilitis, 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
purgative, eat plenty OF nourishing
food remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Nature herself is the only
"cure" for influenza and will throw
off the attack if only you conserve
your strength. A little Quinine, As
pirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call ply
stefan, since the chief danger of grip
is in it's weakening effect on the sys-
tenn, which allows complications to
develop. These are chiefly pneumonia
and bronchitis, sometimes inflamma-
ton of the middle ear, or heart affec-
tons. 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

Finally, did DR.. Klock, U. S. P. H. S.
visit this school when it was proStra-
ted by disease to help it or hurt it?
While conditions at the institution
as shown by the report of Doctors
they should be, they are by no means
as bad as the critics of the state Off
Gals would make them appear. The
mortality table shows an exception
ally low death rate among the in
mates. Out of 264 cases of influenza
among the boys there were only eleven
deaths. This, compared with other in
stitutions of like character, and with
communities throughout the country,
shows a very low per cent of fatal
cases, and disputes the exaggerated
report of DR.. Klock.
FUNDS THOUGHT AMPLE.
When making the appropriation for
this school, the legislature thought it
was providing ample funds to carry it
through to the next session, but every
body knows from actual experience
that all living expenses have increased
since then from 40 to 20 per cent, for
which no allowance seems to have
been made by those SO quick to criti-
else the management of this institu-
ton. It is a well-known fact that no
money in the state treasury can be
used for any purpose except as spe-
officially appropriated by the legisla-
ture. At .his time balance of only
$2,S60.94 stands to the credit of this
institution. with September and sub
sequent bills for the year to be paid,
which will more than consume this
amount.

the Tampa Tribune has this to say:

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate the lining o
the air passages to throw off tn
grip germs, to aid in loosening thu
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing cas-
Ter, Vick's VapoRub will be found eff
fective. Hot. wet towels should bt
applied over the throat. chest and back
betweens the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then VapoRub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the skin
is red, spread on thiclkly and covered
! with two thickneSses of hot flannel
I cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck as the heat of the
body liberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medica-
ton directly to the parts affected. At
the same time, VapoRub is absorbed
through and Stimulates the skin, at
tracing 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
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing sueezing Or splitting, So avoid per-
sons having colGs-which means
avoiding crowds-common drinking
cups. roller towels, etc. Keep up your

the open air, and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all avoid colds. as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use VickE VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. For head cold, MELT
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale the
vapors, or better still, use VapoRub
in a benzoin steam kettle. II this Is
not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half full of boiling water,
put in half teaspoonful of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling, and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-Vick's VapoRub is the discov-
cry of North Carolina druggist, who
found how to combine In salve form
Menthol and Camphor with such vo-

is applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form Of

VapoRub is comparatively. new in
New York State and New England and
a few western states, where it is just
now being introduced, but in other Sec
tions of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than a million
homes for all forms Of cold troubles.
Over six million jars were sold last
year. It is particularly recommended
for children's Group or colds, since it
