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 TALL
ing to take the simple ordinary precau-
tons necessary to avoid infection. For,
while Influenza, after its development, is
sometimes difficult to cure, 1t is an easily
preventable disease.
The best plan is to begin treatment be-
fore the first symptom starts. For no other
disease will develop so quickly or spread
so rapidly. You may feel fine today-be
sick tomorrow and lose a week or more Of
work. You will indeed be fortunate II
pneumonia does not develop.
The air today is full of Influenza germs.
Every breath you take is likely to draw
them into YOUR nose and throat You can
prevent the disease by killing the germs
before they spread throughout your body.
There is probably no safer or surer way to
do this than to go to the nearest drug
store and get one Of the famous hyon1ei
Iphaling Outfits consisting of q bottle of
the pure Oil of Hyomei and little vest
pocket, hard rubber inhaling device into
which 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
germ killing balsam that will absolutely de-
stroy the germs of Influenza that have
found Judgment there.
You can't do this too often. No ordi-
nary night and morning gargling or throat
spraying will be sufficient SO long as dur
ing the day you come in constant contact
with infection. The Hyomei inhaler Is
small and can be conveniently carried in
handbag or vestpocket. Every half hour or
so throughout the day take it out and draw
a few breaths of its pure healing 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 II. This is
an inexpensive treatment as the Inhaler
will last lifetime and further supplies OF
the Oil of Hyomei can be had at any drug
store for few cents.
NOTE. Oil of Hyomei. so strongly rec
commended above for the prevention OF
Spanish. Influenza. is not new discovery
but is the application Of an old and time
tried treatment to new disease. Hyomei
has been a standard in the treatment Of
catarrh and colds for almost twenty years
and Is sold by druggists everywhere. Hun
dreds Of people in Omaha and vicinity keep
Hyomei outfit with inhaler on the bath
room shelf for regular winter use. II you
have one get il out now and use 1t. II you
haven't one, go to the nearest drug store
and get one today. II Is the duty Of every
person, not only for his own sake but for
the community to do all IN his power to
prevent further spresd Of this epidemic
and to stamp 1t out.--Adv. ...

WILSON'S REPLY

resume the war that he expresses Il
three times.
"Now the allied governments in
Europe must consult with one an
other" the Temps concludes. Their
position is simple. They have not
taken part in the elaboration OF the
programs which President Wilson
has developed as regards future
peace nor in the exchange OF notes
which have passed between Ger
many and the United States. The
allies of Europe associated with the
United States face a purely military
problem. Germany asks for an
armistice. What are the guarantees
which must be expected"
Marcel Sembat, in L'Heure, says:
NO reply of the presidents, in our
opinion. has equalled the present
one in frankness. To the carpers
in the United States, who implored
him not to reply, he turned deaf
ear. No better warning
could be given Germany than that
she holds her fate in her own hands.
Will she uncrown the kaiser and
become a free people or will she re-
main infatuated with the military
imperialists? The choice is hers.
We will treat her accordingly"

Coal Conservation
Education Campaign
To Be Instituted

Chicago, Oct. pa national
campaign of education regarding the
conservation of coal, to be followed
by system of pledge cards is to
be instituted under governmental
supervision, according to speakers
at a conference today of manufac-
turers from Illinois and Wisconsin.
The greae danger of coal short
age is imminent unless a war saw
ing method be adopted in conserving
coal was a note of warning by w.
Chamberlain Robinson, director of
the bureau of oil conservation and
Osborn Monnett, assistant advisory
engineer, both of Washington.
That "gasless' Sundays are of the
past, if proper coal conservation be
observed, was the prediction of Mr..
Robinson, while Mr.. Monnett held
that if the coal were not conserved
dire results would ensue.

Germans Driven Back Almost

BY Associated Press.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 24.-In a local
attack east of the Mouse the Amer
leans today advanced about one kilo-
meter on hree-kilometer front
and the Bots Bultruy. the Bots De
Houppy and the Bots de Belleu are
within the American lines, as also is
part OF the Bots De Wavrille and
Plyon De Traye.
The advance was made after brief
artillery preparation. The enemy's
response was principally with ma
chine guns, but during the fighting
he shelled the back areas and threw
a few six inchers into Verdun. -
The artillery on both sides was
active over the entire American
front today. The Germans were un-
usually nervous owing to the ac-
tivity of the Americans on both
sides of the Meuse.
Early this morning the American
artillery laid down a barrage north

In the region of Grandpre the ex-

them. The Germans repeatedly
threw gas shells in the region of

much longer, it was said, there is
strong probability that the British
working eastward from Valencien-
mes will gather in prisoners, guns
and stores in large numbers later
on.
In view OF the existing military Sit
uation officers pointed out that every
day was seeing the allied tactical su-
periority increased even as their su-
peliority in man and gun-power is
increasing. Since President Wilson
has already pointed out to the Ger
man authorities that the safeguard
ing and guaranteeing of that supe-
riority must be the basis of any
armistice agreement proposition
the German leaders accepted with
the statement that standard of
military power in the field must OF
necessity govern such terms, lit is
clear that the conditions Of the
armistice to be formulated grow in
crcasingly hard on the enemy each
day The advantages in position de-
rived from the latest British thrust,
officers said, certainly will not be
overlooked in estimating the situa
ton of the opposing forces.
More than ever officers are con-
WINGED that new operations on a
large scale are impending on the
front and that General Pershings
two aggressive young armies soon
will try their mettle again. There
are many minor happenings that
seem to indicate to these observers
that a smashing blow is in prepara-
ton although the extent or object
of it is only matter of speculation
Added to the purely military con-
siderations that would seem to urge
some such renewed effort before
winter comes, there is now the in
centive presented by the fact that
armistice terms soon may be form
ulated. The readiness of the Ger
man authorities to accept those
terms will be greatly increased, it
is pointed out, if their line is fur
ther broken and the evacuation up
on which they are engaged rendered
increasingly difficult and full of
peril.

Senators Revise Taxes
Planned on InheritanceS

Washington, Oct. 24.-In lieu of
the taxes on estates proposed in the
house war revenue bill, the senate
finance committee in its revision to-
day adopted a plan of taxing inheri-
tances of $4,000 and more at rates
to be fixed later. The committee also
decided to reduce to 500 per gallon
the tax on distilled spirits used for
industrial, medicinal and other non
beverage purposes.
The new tax proposes that in
heritances received by heirs, instead
of estates left by deceased persons,
shall be the subjects of federal tax
alton, after state inheritance taxes
are imposed.
Returns from life insurance poll
cies under $4,000 would not be
taxed.
Reduction of the rate on nom
beverage distilled spirits and alcohol
to 500 per gallon ordered today by
the committee, was said to be in re-
spouse to interests urging it in order
to stimulate production of spiri s.
needed for munitions and also to
reduce the cost of medicines.

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this Is
a germ disease, spread principally by hui

having colds--whieh means avoiding
drinking cups, roller

by plenty OF exercise in the open air, and
good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irritats
the lining of the air passages and rendci
them much better breeding places for the
germs.
Use Vick's vapoRub at the very first
sign OF cold. For a head cold, melt a lit
