N0 OCCASION FOR PANIC


 Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May. has all the appearance of grip or Ia grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemlcs < as far back as history runs. Hippoc- rates refers to an epidemic in 412 E. O.. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had it's attacks. Beginning with 1881, this country has had hve cpl deraics, the last in 1SS990.
 There is no occasion for panic--in- auenza itself has a very low percent age of fatalities-not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ac- cording to the N. C. board of health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally patients in a run down condition-those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early.
 THE SYMPTOMS.
 Grip, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 100 to 1O4, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lin s ing of the air passag ges-nose, throat V and bronchial tubes--there Is usually a. hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a 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 a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly uuiet and don't worry. Quinine, As pirin or Dovers Powder, etc, may he administered by the physicians di- rections to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for in1u- enza-tf1e disease must run it's course Nature herself will throw off the at A tack if only you keep up your strngth The chief danger lies in the complica tfons which may arise. Influenza SC weakens the bodily resistance tha there is danger of pneumonia ol bronchitis developing, and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear ol heart affections. For these reasons it is very important that the patien' remain in bed until his strength re- turns-stay in bed at least two day! or more after the fever has left you CT if you are over 50 or not strong @Say in bed four days or more, ac @srdiuE to the severity of the attack

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.

In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw of the grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing cas- fer, Vicks VapoRub will be foud ef~ 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 thick ly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth ing loose round the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts af- fected. At the same time VavoRub 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 a 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.
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
 Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passag ges and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vicks VapoRub at the very first sign of cold. For a head cold, melt little VapoRub i'll a spoon and in hale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordin- ary tea-kettle. Fill half full of boil Ing water put in half a teaspoon of
 IapoRub from time to time-keep { the kettle just slowly boiling and in hale the steam arising.
 NOTE: Vick's VapoRub is the dis covery of a North Carolina. druggist who found how to combine, in salve 1 form, Menthol and Can phor with such volatile oils as, Eucalyptus 1 Thyme, Cubebs etc., so shat when the ! salve is applied to the body heat
 these ingredients are liberated ill the l form of vapors.

IS IT LUST A COLD"?
New Britain People Should Ask Then,-
 selves This Question.


 Don't say: It's just a coId.' It may turn into backache. rheu. matic aches. or achy joints. Or other serious sickness that comes from weak kidneys.
 Colds are due to congestion. Congestion makes the kidneys overwork to filter the blood. Colds often leave the kidneys weak. First break the cold:
 Then use Doan's Kidney Pills to avert the kidney dangers.
 Let this New Britain resident tell you about them
 Mrs. J. Young, 95 Elm street, says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills for barkache which has come on when I have caught a, cold. They have al ways given me relief. I know Doana Kidney Pills are good and that is why I recommend them to others soc. at all dealers. Foster MiIburu Co. Mfgrs,. Buffalo, N. Y.

No Master Nation.
In all his conferences the presi-

that no one nation is entitled to as
sumo the role of master or dictate
the manner or the conditions of the

There is some indication that con-
siderable headway is being made in
this direction and that the members
of the American mission are now
seeing their way clearly. All express
the conviction that delegates will
enter the conference in 4 spirit OF
accommodation.
Some undercurrents are interpreted
as showing indications of regret be-
cause the acceptance Of President
Wilson's points in a general way
prevented some nations from achiev-
ing their own objects, which might
have been gained II Germany's COL
lapse had been made even more com

plain to those with whom the presi-

that victory would be incomplete
