Special Rates In
Clubs of Five Only

We will accept yearly subscriptions
to The Daily Sun in clubs of FIVE at
50 year. This special rate will not
last very long. People who stop to
think just what it means to receive
paper every day in the week are
reasonable enough to appreciate what
it costs to publish a paper every day
in the week, therefore the So year
rate on The Daily Sun is less than
one-half what other daily papers are
now demanding. The Daily Sun may
not be quite as large as some other
daily papers, but we give you the
gist Of the days news boiled down
and in brief way. Our war news
service is almost "a hours ahead of
other papers reaching Greeneville.

country is all right, but it wouldn't
suit me for home at all, for the
people are so different here than they

foodstuff here. The wagons are one

ing would not suit me, but every

Well, mamma, as | came through

"Epidemics of influenza have visited

was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis

Although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there Is no
reason to believe that 1t 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

There Is as yet no certain way IN
which a single case Of Spanish influ

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 nc
means as severe or as sudden in Their
onset as they are In influenza. Final.
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly OF
30 extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases q person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most Of the pa.
tients complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative.

"In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids

there may be some cough. These signs
Of a cold may not be marked; never

Vote New York Dry

William II. Anderson, state superin-

primary proves that the influence of
the liquor traffic is dead in the Re-
publican party, and he predicted that
the election will prove that it is dead
in the State of New York.

Mr.. Anderson.
Continuing, he said:
"There were four outstanding VETS

James A. Emerson, Senator Browns

Two Men May Die Follow
ing Attempted Hold-Up
of Liquor Store

Two men entered the Upgrade Wine
Company's store at 2085 Amsterdam
Avenue yesterday afternoon.
"How much is a case of whiskey?'
asked the taller of the strangers of
Arthur Plaut, the manager.
"Twenty four dollars" replied Plaut.
The man reached in his pocket and
brought out an automatic gun instead
of roll of bills
Put up your hands or I'll shoot" he
raped out. Plaut ducked behind the
bottle of olives in his fist. The man
with the pistol lodged and fired three
shots. Plaut dropped, seriously wound
ed. The other intruder, who had taken
no part i'll the atfsay, started to run.
"Quit on me, would you, you pup"
shouted the man with the gun and
planted a fourth bullet between the
fugitive's shoulder blades. He stag
gered, but continued to run. After a
moment the other, gun still in hand,
dartcd out of the store.
Plaut started after him, but dropped
across the doorsll The man ran to
into car driven by Benjamin Simms,
chauffeur for Samuel Cohen, a clothing
manufacturer.
"Drive like hell, until l tell you to
stop" he directed, and Simms did. He
got rid of his unwelcome passenger at
110tn Street and Eighth Avenue, and
then drove to the 123d Street Police
Station.
Meanwhile the shorter man had run
to the corner of 163d Street, where he
stopped a passing machine and asked
to be driven to a hospital. He and
Plaut reached St. Lawrence Hospital
at almost the same time. Both it is
believed will die. The short man said
that he was Charles Harrigan, of Alb
West FftysiXth Street. All he knows
about the affair, he said, was that the
other man stopped him on the street
and asked him to 90 to the wine store
