THE SYMPTOMS

THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
Followed by aching, feverishness,
and sometimes nausea and dizzi-
ness, and general feeling of weak
ness and depression. The temper
allure is from 100 to 104, and the
fever usually lasts from three to
five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane, or lining of the
air assages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usally a hard
cough, especially bad at night, Of
ten times sore throat or tonsili-
tbs. and frequently all the appear
ances OF a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take purgative, eat plenty Of
nourishing food, remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry. Nature her
self is the only "cure" for influenza
and will throw off the attack if only
you will conserve your strength
A little Ouinine, Asperin or
Dover's Powders may be given by
the physicians directions to allay
the aching. Always call a doctor.
since the chief danger of grip is in
it's weakening effects on the system,
which allows complications to de-
velep.- These are chiefly pneumonia
and bronchitis, sometimes inf1am-
nation of the middle ear, or heart
affections. For these reasons, it is
very important that the patient re-
main in bed until his strength re-
turns-stay in bed at least two
DAYS or more after the fever has
left YOU, or if you are over so or
not strong, stay in bed four days
or more, according to the severity
of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate the lining
OF the air passages to throw off the
grip germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air pass
ages open, thus making the breath
ing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be
found effective. Hot, wet towels
should be applied over the throat,
chest and back between the shoul-
der blades TO open the pores. Then
VapoRub should be rubbed in over
the parts until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and covered with
two thicknesses of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around neck as the heat of the body
liberates the ingredients in the form
of vapors. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medi-
cation directly to the parts affect
ed. At the same time, Vaporub is

/ absorbed through and stimulates
the skin, attracting the blood to the
surface, and thus aids in relieving
the congestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
There is no occasion for panic
influenza or grip has very low
percentage Of fatalities-not over
one death out Of every four humid
red cases, according to the n. C.
Board Of Health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, at
lacking principally, patients in a
rundown condition-those who
don't go to bed soon enough, or
those who get UP too early.
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, avoid colds, as colds
irritate the lining Of the air pass
ages and render them much better
breeding places for the germs.
Use Vicks Vaporub at the very
first sign of a cola. For a head
cold, melt a little vaporub in a
spoon and inhale the vapors, or
better still, use VapoRub in a ben
zoin steam kettle. If this is not
available, use an ordinary tea-ket-
tie. Fill half-full of boiling water.
put in half teaspoon of vapo-
Rub from time to time-keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhale
the steam arising.
NOTE
Vick's VapoRub is the discovery
of a North Carolina druggist, who
found how to combine, in salve
form. Menthol and Camphor with
such volatile oils as Eucalyptus.
Thyrne, Cubebs, ETC., so that when
the saIve is applied to the body
heat. these ingredients are liberated
in the form of vapors. VapoRub
can he had in three sizes at all
drupgists. While comparatively
new in certain parts Of the North.
- &c the standard home remedy in
the south and West for all forms
IF cold troubles-over six million
lars were sold last year. VapoRub
is particularly recommended for
cbildren,s Group or colds, as it is
externally applied and can, there
fore he used freely and often with
ont the slightest harmful effects.

IMPERIAL VALLEY FINANCIAL EXHIBIT FOR 1917 SHOWS THAT LARGE SUMS WERE SPENT
 DURING THE LAST YEAR.

The Calexico Chronicle of February gives tabulat ed statement of the financial condition of Imperial irrga on district which shows that the total spent during the year 1917 $25865464 with total and liabilities of $S2o4,45O
 The general impression has prevailed all along that the Mexican lands get their for nohing whereas the f- nancial report shows that last year Imperial Valley Cafor nia paid $58603563 while the lands the Mexican side actually paid $152 596 which would seem to be an exact proportion in view of the fact that the California side has about five times much land cultivation as has the Mexi- last meeting assessed the Mexican lands half mil lion dollars for the canals and other improvements made last year.
 The cost of the so-caled "Rockwood intake" and the Rockwood itnake canar put down as having already cost the Imperial district $5 O58o and $8 respec lively with neither of them yet completed The entire of new canals and other work for last year was S776 46865 while the protective work along the Colorado and at Volcano lake for the two years of 19167 cost $49O 36897.

Weak, Thin People
Made Strong and Fat

Weak thin peOple-men or women
are nearly always nervous wrecks; thus
conclusiVely proving that thinness'
weakness. debility and neurasthenia are
almost invariably due to nerve starva-
ton. Feed your nerves and all these
symptoms due to nerve starvation will
disappear Eminent specialists state
that the best nerve food is an organic
phosphate known among druggists as
Bitro Phosphate live.grain tablet of
which should be taken with each meal
Being a genuine nerve builder and not
q stimulant or habtformng drug,
GitroPhosphate can be safely taken by
the weakest and most delicate sufferer,
ald the results following its use are
often simply astonishing. Weak tired
people regain strength and vigOr; thin
nCss and angularity give way to plump
ness and curves, sleep returns TO the
sleepless, confidence and cheerfulness
replace debility and gloom, dun eyes
become bright, and pale, sunken checks
regain the pink glow Of health. Bitro-
! Phosphate, the use Of which is iueX
panslve, also wonderfully promotes the
assimilation of food, so much so &hat
many people report marked gains of
weight in a few weeks.
CAUTION: Although BitrOPhOsphate
is unsurpassed ioc relieving nervous
ness, sleeplessness and general weak
ness. il should not, owing to its re-
marlabe ilesh-grOwing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh. Ii is sold in this city by
