SPANISH INFLUENZA
is EPIDEMIC HERE
Many cases develop into
deadly pneumonia. Easier
to prevent than cure.
How to avoid.

The constant daily increase OF
Spanish Influenza reported by local
physicians shows clearly that many
people are falling to take the simple
ordinary precautions necessary to
avoid injection For. while influenza,
after its development, is sometimes
difficult to cure. it is an easily pre-
ventable disease.
The best plan is to begin treatment
before the first symptom starts. For
no other disease will develop so
quickly or spread so rapidly. You
may feel fine today-be sick tomor-
row and lose a week or more OF work
You viii indeed be fortunate II pneu-
monia does not develop.
The air today is full OF Influenza
germs Every breath you take is like
~ to draw them into your nose and
by killing the germs before they
spread throughout your body. There
IS probably no safer or surer way to
do this than to 20 to the nearest drug
store and get one Of the famous HyO-
mel Inhaling Outfits consisting of a
bottle Of the pure OIL Of Hyomei and
little vestpocket, hard rubber inhal-
ing device into which a few drops of
the oil OF Hyomei are poured
Just breathe this Oil Of Hyomei
deep into your nose. throat and lungs
and every particle OF air that enters
your breathing organs will be
charged with an antiseptic. germ kill
ing balsam that will absolutely de-
stroy the germs OF Influenza that
have found Judgment there.
You can't do this too often. No or
binary night and morning gargling
or throat spraying will be sufficient
so long as during the day you come
in constant contact with infection.
The Hyomei inhaler Is small and can
he rOnEeUfenf1W rarrfad
bag or vestpocket. Every half hour or
SO throughout the day take II out and
draw a few breaths OF its pure heal
ing air into your nose and throat. By
doing this you can prevent infection
and check the further spread Of the
disease even though you are coming
in direct contact with it This is an
inexpensive treatment as the Inhaler
win last q lifetime and further sup
plies OF the Oil OF Hyomei can be had
at any drug store for a few cents.
NOTE: Oil Of Hyomei, so strongly
recommended above for the proven
ton OF Spanish Influenza is not a
new discovery but is the application
Of an old and time tried treatment to
a new disease. Hyomei has been a
standard in the treatment Of catarrh
and colds for almost twenty years
and is sold by druggists everywhere. |

keep a Hyomei outfit with
inhaler on the bath room shelf for
regular winter use. II you have one

Spurs for Mercury

II an army sculptor were doing a
statue of winged Mercury he would sure
ly add spurs to the equipment of this
ranking officer of the Olympian Esca-
drllle. Or, rather, he would have until
few months ago, when American army
avlators were expressly excused from
the obligation of wearing these essential
insignia of rank. We invite our readers
to smile at this episode but not too
brashly. They may be in the army them
selves any day and faced with the same
appalling problems of what and how
and when to wear In truth, this special
exemption for aviators shows gigantic
growth in the sense of humor appertan
ing to our War Department. An army
board that can see the joke in expecting
an aviator to clap spurs to an aeroplane
is capable of great things
Meantime, the business of changing
uniform regulations and remaking the
uniform entire still goes on merrily.
from the current A,my and Navv Jour-
nat we take some radical changes
now under consideration at that mystic
rlous spot which the censor still insists
must be concealed under its official title
represented by the initials G. II. O., A.

portant practical shift from standing
collar to rundown collar is the one
change not suggested Everything else
would be altered as thoroughly as the

In Flanders Fields
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l should like to send word of an
probation of the editorial in The Tribune
of Sunday,~October 6, entitled "In Flanders
Fields,' which refers to my brothers
poem. 1t makes little difference where the
poem was written, but you may be inter-
ested in knowing that it took form during
the second battle of Ypres. He was sur
geon to a brigade of Canadian artillery
that fought throughout the battle HIS
dressing dugout was on the back of the
bank of the canal and behind il many of
the men were buried, so that during seven
teen days that they were in action At the
one spot the number of crosses Just behind
them increased in number each day Some
of the words were altered afterward, bu'
practically the poem took form during the
battle
There are two OF three minor irsccu
racics IN the version which you give, and
lnclose correct one. I am sure you will
understand that | am not writing in any
spirit of criticism, but you may be inter
ested in having the exact text

caps will carry broad stripe of color
to show the branch of service. (These
changes are evidently suggested by Brit
ish cxample.) Also, the whole system
and design. and placing of officers in
sigma and non-commissioned chevrons
are radically revised The blouses are to
be heightened and f1ared below the waist
to admit of roomy pockets. These
changes have yet to pass before the War
Department, we understand.
Elsewhere in the same A,my and
Macy Journal is some correspondence
bewailing the shifting, conflicting orders
respecting overcoats. Camp headquar-
ters have advised the purchase of trench
coats. Then, when hard-put lieutenants
have dug down into their salaries to COM
ply, the use of trench coats (save as
raincoats) has been prohibited. In one
camp an officer, returning from overseas,
was summoned by the judge advocate
and informed that he would be confined
to camp if he did not have the officers
braid sewed on the sleeves of his trench
coat. Fortunately the provost marshal
of the District Of Columbia has seen his
duty and done it without flinching. He
has issued detailed regulations for his
district, SO that the war business of the
nation shall be hampered by no such
horrible blunders as unbuttoned over
coats and shirt collars folded outside the
blouse collar.
Evidently there is nothing so complex
as uniformity.

Neighborhood Service

It's a long-distancc call that the Coun-
Gil of National Defence makes to the peo-
pie of the United States when it sum-
mons them to get together in ncighbor-
hood units to create little autonomous
councils, but it is the final connection
that will make the national organization
effectual and thoroughgoing, from the
Washington office down to the last man
and woman in the country
State and county branches we have
had since the establishment of the coun-
Gil, but that network of organization was
still too wide-meshed to catch up the bulk
of the nations people. BY coming down
to neighborhoods and communities, how
ever, the council commands the interest
and energy of all people, and when that
happens functioning on high per cent
begins.
There is room for everybody in the
community councils as they are planned.
The schoolboy who collects tinfoil for his
country, the housewife who can mend or
pack a box, the girl with spare hours to
address envelopes, the man who can
make a speech or take charge of an Of
flee during evenings-all these and all
others can be made use of by their own
neighborhood councils. The councils work
through all the accredited war agencies
and merely serve as a labor distributing
bureau for their community.

Cleveland Letters
10 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I should be grateful if friends of
Mr.. Cleveland who possess published ad-
dresses or other critical comment of his
torlcal value concerning his policies or
character, letters to or from him, or
personal recolcctions Of incidents con-
nectcd with his life which would be of in
terest in the preparation Of biography,
would communicate as soon as practicable
with Mr.. William Gorham Rice, of Albany
Any such comment, letters and accounts of
incidents will be acknowledged and will be
carefully returned if the sender so desires.
1t is my hope that Mr.. Rice, aided bv
such material and by his own already exist
ing collection, may feel disposed to under
take biography of Mr.. Cleveland during
the ensuing year.
The assembled letters, comment, publ
cations and records now proposed to be
brought together will be deposited ulti-
mately in the State Library at Albany for
the use of DR.. John H. Finley, who some
time ago invited Mr.. Rice to collaborate
with him, or whoever finally may prepare
"a dehnitive and documented biography.
The collection thus deposited will also be
OF permanent value because of its accessi-
blllty to any one who in the future NAV
desire to obtain for historical or other pur
poses knowledge of Mr.. Cleveland's traits
and his opinions and administrative record
on public questions.
Mr.. Rice was secretary to Governor
Cleveland in Albany, and was later, by Pres
ldent Cleveland's appointment, United
States Civil Service Commissioner at Wash
lngton, and is now New York State Civil
Service Commissioner. He was associated
with Mr. Cleveland from 1882 onward. and
was always an esteemed and devoted friend
inquiries concerning the requests and
suggestions made in this letter may be ad
dressed to Mr.. Rice at his residence. 135

What Will Congress Do?

In the meantime what will Congress do
in regard to further Investigations to
the use of brewery and pro-German money
IN controlling or influencing newspaper and
political activities in this country? And
what will Congress do in regard to finding
out all of the facts which may now be
hidden away in grand jury reports in
Pittsburgh and Texas and elsewhere as to
the extent to which the brewery interests
sought by big contributions to control cleo
tions, and thus control the country at a
time when these brewery interests we're the
chief hackers of the German American
Alliance, which was actively and aggres-
sively seeking to weaken the moral forces
of America as TO the war and as to the
liquor traffic? Has Congress gone just far
enough to touch the bare edge, and are
there other sinks of infamy to be opened
up? If so, it would be recreant to its re-
sponsiblity if it failed to uncover the
entire situation, regardless Of who may be
helped or hurt by the exposure, which
some say would starte the country if the
testimony now carefully locked up as to the
contributions of pro German brewery in
terests in politics could be brought to
public gaze.
Possibly men in both parties will be hit
Perchance some of them may be high in
public estimation. 1t matters not who
will be helped who will be hurt, nor
whether this party or that party suffers in
public estimation. Ii there is rottenness
