SPANISH INF[UFNzA--- ---WHAT T IS
 AND HOW II SHOULD BE TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip La Grippe That Was Epidemic in l8S9-90, Only Then It Came
 From Russia by Way of France and
 This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck, as the heat of the body liberates the inp gredients in the form of vaporS These vapors, inhaled with each breaths carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time YapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting tho blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
 HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
 Evidence seems to prove that this ie 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 Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri- tate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs.
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
 Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first ci oF noId hna6 apIl mali e little VapoRub In spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use yap0. Rub in benzoin steam kettle. If this, is not available, use an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa. ter, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale' the steam arising.
 Note-Vick's vapoRub is the dis covery of a North Carolina druggist who found how to combine, in salve form. Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme Gu bebs, etc. so that when tn, salve is ap- piled to the body heat, these ingredi. ents are liberated in the form of vaS DOTS.
 VapoRub Is comparatively new iu New York State and New England and few Western states where it is jus, now being introduced, but in other seq tions of the country it is the standard home remedy in more than million homes for all forms of cold troubles Over six million jars were sold laS year. VapoRub can be had in thre( sizes at all druggists. It is particular ly recommended for chiIdren's crOun and colds, since 1t Is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely ss desired without the slightest harmful effects.

AUSTRIA WILLING
 ID TALK PEACE
ASKS IMMEDIATE NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE AND AN
 ARMISTiCE.
AUSTRIA TELLS OF REFORMS
Washington Officials Show An Inten- tion To Resist Apparent Intent of Both German and Austrian
 Neootators.

Washington. While Germany's latest note to President Wilson was delivered to the State Department through the Swiss legation, cable dis patches from Europe brought informa- tion that the Austro- Hungarian gov ernment has sent another message to the president asking that immediate negotiations for peace and an armis- tice be entered into without awaiting the results of the exchanges with Germany
 The Vienna government said that it adheres to the point of view ex- pressed by the president in his last communication upon the rights of the Austro-Hungarian peoples, especially those of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo- Slavs, and requested that he begin overtures with the allied governments with a view to ending immediately hostilities on all Austria Hungarian fronts.
 The official text Of the German note did not differ materially from the un official version as received by cable. There was no official comment. but it is known that no response will be made at present to the note, which is believed to have been sent to satisfy tho German people that their govern ment is not emitting any opportunity tice and peace. Regarding the renew ed assurance in the German note that the constitutional structure of the German government has been and g being changed to these lines, it is said that the truth of this statement and the scope of the changes already made or planned are matters to be dealt with in connection with peace and not in arranging an armistice. or ficials show an intention to resist the apparent intent of both German and Austrian negotiations to continue these two different functions in one phase of the negotiations.
 In the Austrian communication now supposed to be on its way to Wash ington through the medium of the Swedish government, an effort Is made to show that Austria has com piled with the presidents demand for the recognition of the rights of the Czecho- Slovaks and JuE)-Slavs and other oppressed peoples of Austria. It does not appear that the complete in dependence of these people has been guaranteed and probably sufficient as- surance must be had on that point be fore the Austrian proposals will be transmitted to the entente powers for submission to the military experts.

SANITATION IN THE HOG LOT
Important as Preventive of Cholera and Other Diseases-Cleanlines

 The greatest drawbacks to the hog industry that breeders in this country have to contend with are the losses through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and the infestation of the animals, especial ly young pigs, by parasites. Were 1t not for the fecundity of swine their profitable production in the presence of these serious diseases would be out of the question. In the following re- marks on sanitation no attempt is made to go into the details of the dis eases affecting hogs or their treatment. The object is merely to call attention to the simple measures which may be used by any farmer to avoid, to q large extent. the decimation of his herd by epizootics. Cleanliness and rational methods of management are relied up- on by thousands of farmers to keep their herds in health and vigor. They are the marks of the good farmer and successful hog breeder.
 Hog cholera and swine plague both highly fatal diseases characterized by fever and heavy mortality, are so very similar that the breeder may regard them as identical so far as his practi- cal management of the herd Is con cerned. Positive differentiation be-

GIVING LAMB A GOOD START
Ewes Hanks and Udder Should Be Sheared to Prevent Wool Getting
 Into Lambs Eyes.

Before the lamb is given the teat the ewes Hanks and udder should be sheared. If this is not done the lamb Is likely to injure its eyes with the wool or perhaps get the wool in it's mouth and then refuse to take the teat.
 Shepherds do not all agree as to the best time to do this. But it will gen orally he found best to wait till the eve drops her lamb, but before she recovers strength to resist the shear ing. Care is always necessary not to cut the udder or serious injury may result.

Within ten minutes after an appli. cation of Danderine you can not find single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 X little Danderine immediately dou. bles the beauty of your hair. No diff. ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan- derine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect Is amazing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an in- comparable lustre. softness and luxu- siance.
 Get small bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine for few cents at any drug store or toilet counter. and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any -that 1t has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that'S all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of 1t if you will just try little Dan- derine.-Adv.

Pigs Kept Under Sanitary Conditions

tween the two diseases can only be made by the most careful bacterlolog ical tests, and by employing the assist ance offered by Il fully equipped lab oratory. However, sanitary preventive methods which are found beneficial with one of these diseases will prove equally ctfcaciouS with the other
 There are few fundamental facts which the breeder must remember if he is to avoid losses through hog chol era or swine plague. The first is that they are specific diseases caused by germs, and the contagion cannot be spread from one animal to another or from one herd to another except through the agency of these minute or ganismS. They may be carried in multitude of ways-by the hogs them- selves, on the clothing of persons, on vehicles, in feed, by birds, dogs, and other animals, or by streams. The breeding or feed of hog cannot cause either disease, although bad methods may so weaken the constitution and vi- tality that the animal becomes moro susceptible to them than would other wise be the case. Since these diseases can only arise from the presence of their specific causative agents, it can readily be seen that dentititon and the presence of supernumerary teeth or black tusks cannot, as has been sug- gested by many, play any part in their development. A second fact to be borne in mind is that diseases caused by germs may be best prevented or con trolled by thorough disinfection and scrupulous cleanliness.

Go to Bed and Stay Quiet -- Take a Laxative Eat Plenty of Nourishing Food-Keep
 Up your Strength - Ma
 ture Is the Only Cure"
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NO oNSAS1OiN FSFi TttNiS
 Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appearances of grip, or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. HippOc- rates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C., which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1881 this country has had five epidem- ics, the last in 1SS9-90.
 There is no occasion for panic-influ enZa itself has very low percentage of fatalitieS-not over one death out of every 400 cases, according to the N. C. board of health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attack ing principally patients in rundown condition-those who don't go to bed soon enough or those who get up too early.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grip, or influenza, as 1t Is now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness, and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature 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 passages. nose, throat and bronchial tubes; there is usually hard cough, especially bad at night; oftentimes sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold.
 THE TREATMENT
 Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others-take purgative. eat plenty of nourishing food. remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powders, etc, may be administered by the physicians directions to relieve the aching But there is no cure or spe- citic for infiuenza-the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneu- nCnia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear. or heart affections. For these ca sons 1t is very important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns-Stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or If you are over 30 or not strong stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack.
