PORTTAND'S POPULATION
Is NOW ESTIMATED AT
311,00O BY OFFICIALS

PORTLAND. Dec. sO.-port-
land IS now n city OF S11.OOO
population. according to esti-
mates of city water bureau Off
cials.
The figure is arrived at by
taking the number of water SER
vices and multiplying this total
by five. Heretofore the esti-
mates of the water bureau have
been found to tally closely with
the decenial government census.
City officials regard the esti-
mate as being conservative.
At the close of the municipal
fiscal year, November 80, the to-
tai of water services in the city
was 62.242. an increase of 1881
over the total at the end of the
preceding year. If the estimate
is ? good criterion. Portland's
population has increased more
than so per cent since the last
census in 1910, when the fov-
ernment counted 100000 people
here.

But General Angeles sees in Am

troubles.
The general has been in confer,
ence with villa and other Mexican
leaders in movement to bring about
a peaceful solution to the troubles Of

Whether more fighting will follow,
with a request that the United States
keep hands off. or a coalition SO
strong as to force Carranza out of the
presidency without further combat
will be formed depends on the out
come OF these conferences.
Angeles favors the latter course and

The Last Epidemic in 1889
so Came From Russia by
Way of France and Was
Given a French Name, La
Grippe. This Time 1t
Comes By Way of Spain.
ORIGIN or THE DISEASE.

ORIGIN or THE DISEASE.
. Spanish Influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May has swept over the
world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history runs. Hippocrates re-
fers to an epidemic in 412 b. c., which
is regarded by many to have been in
fluenza. Every century has had its
lattacks. Beginning with 1881, this
country has had five epidemics, the
last in 1SS9-oO.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as IL is now call
ed, usually begins with n chill follow
ed by aching feverishness and some-
times nausea and dizziness. and n
general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 1O4. and the fever usually lasts
| from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous mem brane, or lin
ing Os the air passages-nose, throat
and bronchial tubes--there is usually
a hard cough, especially bad at night,
often times n sore throat or tonsils.
and frequently all the appearances OF
a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative. eat plenty of nour-
ishing food remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry. Nature herself is
the only "cure" for influenza and win
throw off the attack II only you con-
serve your strength. A little Qninine,
Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physician's directions tor
allay the aching. Always call a doe
tor. since the chief danger Of grip Is
in it's weakening effect on the system i
which allows complications to develop 1
There are chiefly pneumonia and /
bronchitis, sometimes inflammation of {
the middle ear. or heart affections.
For these reasons, 1t is very import I
ant that the patient remain in bed un-
til his strength returns--stay in bed /,
at least two days or more after the fe-
yer has left you, or If you are over so
or not strong, stay in bed four days l,
or more according to the severity of I
the attack IA

cloths Leave the clothing loose

hailed with each BREATH. carry the
medication directly to the parts af-
fected. At the same time, VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates
the skin, attracting the blood 90 the
surface and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC. q
/ There is no occasion for panic--in-
I 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 run down condi-
tion-those who don't go to bed soon
enough, or those who get up too
early.
HOW no AVOID 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-whlch
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, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much bettsr breeding
places for the. germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign OF a cold. For head cold.
melt little VapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vabors. or better still. use
vapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. IL
IFis is not available. use an ordinary
.eakcttie. irilI half-fuii Of boiling wa
ter, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo-
Rub from time to time--keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhale
he steam arising.

CHORUS ENTER
TAINMENT WAS SUCCESS

ut was the best musical enter
tainment ever given in that opera
house." is the emphatic declaration
of one of Abilenes prominent citi-
zens. Il could have listened to it
all evening"" he said.
Abilene's community chorus gave
its entertainment at the Seelye
theatre last evening to a well filled
house. The solos, readings and
chorus songs were fine and were APP
preciated by the audience. Much
credit is due to Mrs. Julia Short, di-
rector of the community chorus
When this chorus was first organized
few persons turned out but due to
Mrs. Shorts efforts a large number
was secured. She has given all her
services free and it is expected that
it will be made permanent institu-
ton of the city. An invitation has
been extended to the chorus to sing
at the Y. NJ G. A. at Camp Funston
next Tuesday evening and has been
accepted. Arrangements for trans
portation are being made.
The program last evening includ-
ed selections by the high school or
solos by b. d. Whitehead,
F. B. White, Alfred Schmutz, Mrs.
Bruce Hurd and Harry Fritz. Mrs
Ralph Lucier gave violin selection
and Mrs. c. H. Brooks, readings.
G. M. Harger made a short talk
urging prompt response to next
weeks drive Miss Florence Linn
was accompanist for the chorus. The
proceeds, about s275, go to the Red
Cross
1t is planned that the members of
the chorus be taken to Funston in
,ars. All car owners who will do
nate their cars for the evening,
should notify c. R. Baker at once |
This will give sufficient time for the |
committee to make arrangements.

If many more men are taken from
