Music

The Philharmonic Society's concert
yesterday afternoon at Carnegie Hall
presented programme of unusual
variety. 1t opened with the Bach
major concerto for orchestra, and COM
prised compositions by Saint -Saens
Gounod, Chopin, Puccini and Rimsky-
Korsakof. Mr.. Stransky's reading of
the SaintSaens Second Symphony was
the least successful; it was heavy and
lacked incisiveness of outline. He was
more effective in Glozounowa's ar
rangement Of the four Chopin pieces
especially in the Polonaise, which he
gave with considerable spirit. Owing
to the illness Of Miss Anna Case, Nine.
Marie Rappold was called on at the
last moment Her singing of the
Faust Jewel Song lacked in style, but
she gave "Vissi d'Artc" most effectively.
The upper regions OF her voice were of
great power and beauty, but her me-
dlum did not have the smooth quality
winch might have been desired.
1 ne largest audience that ever at
tended the Hippodrome was present last
nlGht at the concert given by John Nc
Cormack More than 1000 persons were
present, the audience being banked up
oehlnd the singer on the stage and
every seat IN the auditorium proper be-
ing taken. 1t is estimated that in ad-
dltlon between 5000 and 1000 persons
We're turned away from the doors. Mr
mccormack was in excellent voice. A
speclal word OF praise should be given
TO ms singing of Martini's "plaisi r
dAmour,' which has rarely been given
more effectively than it was last Mont
Mr; VI McCormack was assisted by Andre
ro!ah, vlollnIst, and Edwin Schneider
pianist. Mr. Mccormack will leave New
ofK IN lew days on his transconti-
aen'a! Tour IN the interests of the
american Red Cross. He has alreadv
raised $4,000 for this cause.
When his obligation to tho Rod

OTHER VIEW POINTS

No business enterprise has been so sorefy tried during the war as the king business. It is insoIVent and oa the verge of bankruptcy y-New Haven Journal- Courier.
 The unanimity of the press of the country in demanding decsiive reply to Germany reflects the feeAng of the people. But the same unaninl1ty in the senate is even more significant, for it reflects the political situation, of which Washington stands in much more dread than of mere popular out bursts of feeling.-W Waterbury Anleri- can.
 When this weary war is over news papers may have an opportunity to get back on their job Now the space is very largely taken up with matters that pertain to the great struggle There is pressing need that all lovers of a home paper lend it their most earnest support. This is no time to l drop the home paper. It is having | troubles of it's own. with the cutting out of advertisements and high cost o paper and increase in postage rates | More than 1,2a0 local papers in the | United States have been compelled tC go out of business.

of the Mississippi have kept their machines in the garages one day in the week that it has not met the sit uation. Much has been accomplished but apparently much more needs to be done to prevent a shortage in necessary lines.
 The impression therefore grows that the new regulations which are to be put forward will call for some curtaii- ment in the use of gasolene during every day in the week. The possibil- ity of this has been repeatedly pointed out from time to time since the gas- less Sunday idea was promoted and apparently the time has arrived when those suggestions or other methods must be followed. It is recognized that the war needs must be met and there is every reason for believing that whatever is asked for in the way of curtailed operation of motor cars every day will be fully complied with The better the compliance the quick CT the restriction can be lifted.

PRINCE MAX.

When Prince Maximilian was called to the chanceilorship of Ger many there were good reasons for be- lleving that the kaiser labored under the impression that his selection would give the allied nation greater confidence in the imperial German government. that they would place greater reliance in whatever he had to say and that they would believe him sincere in whatever appeal he might put forth at this critical time.
 There were things which warranted this idea and Ambassador Gerard had in print given him pretty good rat ing, but now comes a despatch to the London Daily Mail from it's cor respondent at BeFne which brings to light letter written by the chancellor some time ago and written as the result of the impression which was created by the Sermon on the Mount speech which he made, wherein hs declared The sword cannot overcome the moral opposition of our. roes."
 Tn the letter to his cousin he wrote "The kaiser--thls is entre nous-sent me a telegram congratulating me and calling my speech high feat" Or the one hand. the Psn-Germans fal upon me, utterly failing to perceive in their wrath that with my inter pretation of Christianity l am reall, endowing their German swords with ; German spirit by means of which they can conquer the world to their hearts content On the other. that hatefu paper, the Frankfurter Zeitung, be smears me with it's laudations. al though I clearly enough held up t scorn in my speech the popular out cry for democracy"
 This plainly shows the duplicity o the man and shows how much relianc can be placed in any statement whicl he makes today. Even as the rep resentative of the people he canno stand high.

USING PRISON LABOR.

Tn connection with making the best use of prison labor many ideas have been advanced and some have been put into operation. In most instances where such labor has been used in farming, roadbuilding or other outdoor work it has proved highly successful. In fact it has accomplished just what was expected and the commonwealth as well as the prisoners has been tha Sainer thereby.
 But new ideas in this direction are always followed with keen interest and it is therefore not surprising that special attention is being lirected to the plan which has been adopted by the parole and pardon board of the state of Illinois which has parole q coo convicts for the purpose of allow ing them to go to work in the Rock Island intuition plans. They of course have the privileges which go with parole, amounting as long as they conduct themselves properly to full freedom and they work without guards
 They are not only getting higt wages such as go with war work but they are buying to the utmost of tht Liberty bonds. which means that they are not only contributing to the we.- fare of the nation through the pro. duction of important war material and to all indications giving good evi. dence that they are determined to fol low the straight and narrow path bu they are using their earnings for thu purpose of helping the country a! well as themselves.
 Unusual conditions may call fo unusual action. which this certainl! is but it is not improbable that i will furnish evidence which will ge serious consideration throughout tn nation in dealing with the problem of prison labor.

SHOW THE ENEMY.

No excuse can be offered in this country for any letup in the subscrip- tion Co the fourth Liberty loan be- cause Of reports which come by way of Switzerland Go the effect that the German war loan is not making de- sired progress. It can be appreciated that there is reason for a lack of in- terest in that country faced as it is with. the dropping out Of one of it's allies. with another heading that way uni with their own armies on the run Tor the Rhine after being driven back 3ver a much larger stretch of terri lory than they had gained through the rdensive of the spring which cost hem heavily in the sacrifice of some of their best troops. There can he no surprise that the German people are not anxious 10 sacrifice more of their funds for var purposes.
 Tn this country. however, the situa- uon is different The United States has furnished the men and materials which are turning the tide of the war Our troops are gaining marked sue cesses along the front and we are
 
 . tions which are fighting with us. Con- diuons are such here and with our armie= that they should serve as the best possible stimulus 10 the pushing of the loan far over the top. It is useless to imagine because of the peace talk put forward by the enemy that the money is not going to be needed The fact is that it is needed now and at the rate it is being re- quired, and with another large in crease in the army about to take place. it can be appreciated that it will be used by the time the pay mcnts are ail made.
 This is certainly no time for the American people to lay down. Ger many will get its loan because it will force it from the banks when sub scriptions Ing. but here the people should be anxious 10 nee that the ene- my IS not given the impression that we are not supporting our fighting forces Show the enemy.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The real patriot doesn't have to be solicited to get his Liberty bends
 In these days the central powers are not having very much time to de- vote to the situation in Russia.
 The man on the corner says: Among the ,follies of the day think of press- ing your glad rags with a sad iron.
 Now that they cannot take a pot shot at Rheims every day some Of those German gunners must feel lone some.
 Germany is taking up new positions these days but it is noticeable fact that a preference is being shown for rear ones.
 Of course everyone has a right to guess as much as he pleases as to what the answer of Prince Max to the inquiry of President Wilson is go- ing to be.
 Whether they are on foot or horse back, in motor cars or trains the rush of the retreating Huns must be music to the country through which they are fleeing.
 The idea of opening the public gathering places may be we'll advised but it would be better to keep then 1 closed a week too long than to open them a week too soon.
 lnasmuch as big guns are needed and 1t is planned to spend a billion tC get them, it is perfectly evident that every cent of the Liberty loan asked for is going to be required for impor- tant work.
 The influenza epidemic may inter. fere somewhat with programmes fol Liberty day, but this is a time cer- tainly when every day should be Lib erty day in fact the condition of tht loan demands it.
 Can the people of this country show their appreciation of the grea' work which their representatives a inc front ere doing in any more fit ting manner than by pushing thu Liberty loan way over the top?
 There is no wonder there is in quiry as to the. whereabouts of Gen eral Leonard Wood. for while he il unquestionably doing his dut! wherever he is he is nevertheless be ing penalized for having told the gov ernment that it should properly pre- psre for what 1t is actually engaged ] in today.

NO HOPE FOR TURKEY.

Just how Turkey is going to avoid throwing un it's hands and doing as Bulgaria has done is hard to under stand; in fact everything points in the other direction. Turkey was in a serious position from the advances which have been made by the allied armies but whatever hope 1t had that it would be able to overcome the sit uatCn must have been completely de- stroyed when It's neighbor on the west surrendered and made it possible for the allies Co cut or the communica- lions between Germany and Constan- tlnoplc. Turkey recently received scme financial aid from Germany but that win not last long and money or credit will amount to little or noth- ing f it cannot get the war supplies which are SO important. Turkey has been isolated as the result of the Macedonian offensive and 1t is being hard pressed on all fronts by the ar mics which are advancing through Mesapotamia and Palestine. It may sclalm that it is going to stick out to the end but that assertion has since been followed by important cabinet changes and by an appea. from smyrna for peace.
 Another danger which is faced at present Is the possibility Of Bulgaria taking up arms against it. They have been at swords points for some time over the question of territorial d. vision following the elimination of Ru- mania from the war. and if Bulgaria should now strike at Constantinople it would create a situation which would quickly bring 1t to it's knees But whether Bulgaria makes any move the conditions are such that Turkey must soon cease to fight fol it cannot fail to understand that il faces the Inevitable. Sticking to the end seems hopeless unless the other two Central powers are going to sur. render soon.

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

Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear ances of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. c. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every cen tury has had it's attacks. Beginning with 1881, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90.
 There is no occasion for panic-in- fuenza itself has very low percent age of fatalities-not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ac- cording to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally, patients in run down ,condition-those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grippe, or influenza as it is now called, usually begins with a chill fol- lowed by aching, |:verishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and de- precision. The temperature is from loo to l04. and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous rne4aSi,rane or Hnn9 of the air passages-nose, throat and hrolicnial tuDeS--ruere. 4a Us s,tu4iy | hard cough especially bad at night often times a sore throat or tonsilitis and frequently all the appearances oi 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 perfee,y quiet and don't worry, Quinine, aspirin or Doyer'i Powder. etc, may be administered bJ the physicians directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure ol specific for infuenza-the disease must run it's course, but Nature vii throw off the attack if only you keeT up your strength. The. chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bod fly resistance that there is danger ol pneumonia or bronchitis developing and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear or heart. actions. Fol | these reasons it is very important l that the patient remain in bed unti l his strength returns-stay in bed a least two days or more after the fevel

SAVING GASOLINE.

Just what the plan is for bringing about a greater increase in the
 amount of gasolene made available for war purposes by decreasing the con- sumption which cannot be considered necessary will probably be known within a short time. It is quite evil dent however, that in spite Of the general Compliance with the request for the observance of gasoleneless Sundays and the large quantities which have been saved thereby that 10 is not sufficient. There is no com plaint that the effort has not come rp to expectations for 1t is to be noted that the request has not been follow "a by an order.

 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
 In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs, to Aid in loosening the open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's Napo-Rub 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 Napo- Rub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thick ly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body iberates the insred- tents in the form of vapors. These vapers. inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time, Vapo-Rub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is germ disease, spread principally by human contact chiefly through coughing, sneezing or splitting. So i avoid persons having colds-which means avoiding crowds - common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of l exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, keep free from colds, i as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much bet 1 ter breeding places for the germs. Use Vick's Vapo-Rub at the very ] first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt little Nape-Rub in a spoon and inhale the vapors,- or better still, use Vapo-Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill haH-full of l boiling water. put in half a teaspoon of Vapo Rub from time to time-keep 1 the kettle just slowly boiling and in hale the steam arising.
 NoTE.-vick's Vapo-R Rub is the dis covery of a North Carolin-- druggist, i who found how to combine, in salEe form, Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, i Thyme, Cubebs- etc. so that when the 1 salVe is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors.
 i Vapo-Rub is comparatively new in l New York State and New England and a few Western States where it is just now being introduced, but in the other sections of the country it ip the standard home remedy in. over a mil lion homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jars were sold last year. It is particularly rec commended for children's croup or colds. since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as de- sired without the slightest harmful effects.
