by Way of Spain.
over so, or not strong, stay in bed
four days or more, according to the
severity of the attack.

over 50, or not strong, stay IN pea
four days or more, according to the
severity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS e
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 pas
sages 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 lib
crates the ingredients in the form
Of vapors. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medicsa
ton directly to the parts affected
At the same time, VapoRub is ABB
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood to the SURF
face, and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this
Is a germ disease, spread principal.
ty by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc4
Keep up your bodily strength by
plenty Of exercise in the open air,
and good food. Above all, keep free
from colds, as colds irritate the lin
ing Of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places
for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of cold. For head cold,
melt little VapoRub in a spoon
and inhale the vapors, or better still,
use VapoRub in benzoin steam
kettle. If this is not available, use
an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half
full of boiling water, 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 drug
gist, who found how to combine, in
salve form, Menthol and Camphor
with such volatile oils as Eucalyp-
tus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc, SO that
when the salve is applied to the
body heat, these ingredients are lib
Grated in the form of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new
in New York State and New Eng
land and a few Western states,
where it is just now being intro
duced, but in the other sections Of
the country it is the standard home
remedy in over million homes for
all forms Of cold troubles. Over
six million jars were sold last year.
1t is particularly recommended for
children's Group or colds, since it is
externally applied and therefore
can be used as freely as desired
without the slightest harmful eff
fects. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists.-Adv.

Strength Up-Na-
ture Is the
"Cure."
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

Spanish influenza, which APP
peared in Spain in May, has all the
appearance 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. G., which
is regarded by many to have been
influenza. Every century 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
influenza itself has very low per-
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out Of every four hundred
cases, according to the N. C. Board
Of Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking
principally, patients in a rundown
condition-those who don't 60 to
bed soon enough, or those who get
up too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza, as it is now
called, usually begins with chill
followed by aching. feverishness
and sometimes nausea and dizzi-
ness, and general feeling Of weak
ness and depression. The tempera-
ture is from 100 to 104, and the
fever usually lasts from three to five
days. The germs attack the mu-
cous membrane, or lining of the air
passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually hard
cough, especially bad at night, often
lines sore throat or tonsilitis, 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 perfect
ly quiet and don't worry. Quinine,
aspirin or Dover's powder, etc, may
be administered by the physician
directions to relieve the aching. But
there is no cure or specific for in
fluenza-the disease must run its
course, but Nature 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 re-
sistance that there is danger of
pneumonia or bronchitis developing,
and sometimes inflammation Of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons, it 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

GERMAN VIEW OF CHRIS
TIANITY.

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzehe was
one of the most noted of PAL, {. =
man philosophers. How much has his
philosophy affected the views and
character of the Germans of today?
Is not the answer written in the blood
of the women and children, the old
men Of occupied France and Belgium?
Are not the Lusitania victims witness
'es to German adoption of Nietzche's
faith?
Here is his indictment of Christian
ity:
with this / conclude and pronounce
my sentence: / condemn Christianity.
To me it is the greatest of all in1agi-
nable corruptions. The church is the
great parasite; with its anetnic idea
of holiness it drains the life of all its
strength, its love, and its hope. The
other world is the motive for the
denial of every reality. call Chris
tianity the one great curse, the enc
great intrinsic depravity, the one
great intrinsic depravity, the ono
great instinct of revenge, for w1lich
no expedient is sufficiently poisonous,
secret, underhand, to gain its ends.

SAFEGUARDING UNCLE SANS
MONEY.
(By ]. E. Jones.)

A statement recently issued by the
War Finance corporation makes it
clear that practically no loans or ad-
vances are being made by the govern
ment to borrowers under the 'excep-
tional cases clause of the act which
created the War Finance corporation.
The policy Of the corporation is to
furnish assistance to the war indus
tries through local banks. The gov
elnment corporation declares that the
public utility companies should have
the cooperation of the communities in
which they operate, and emphasis is
laid upon the fact that it is the duty
of the communities to aid in the re-
adjustment of these enterprises and
institutions, in order that they may
re-establish themselves in harmony
With the changed conditions brought
about by the war.

camps in this country and across 8 200
miles of ocean to the battle front is
great evidence of American efficiency.
We have not only surprised our enc
mics; we have surprised our friends
and ourselves.
The British controller of shipping,
Sir Joseph Maclay, speaks of this
movement across the sea as ga trans
port miracle We have been inclined
to attribute this achievement solely to
our navy and our shipping, but the
British controller speaks in high
praise of the share the American rail-
roads had N the work He says:
"If the American railroads had not
been operated with success the whole
transport movement might have fail
ed, because it was essential to quick
transporta ion that the troops should
be ready for the ships.'
Director General McAdoo seems JUS
titled in his statement that while the
development of the policy of the rail-
road administration requires time,
progress has been made toward the
goal.

HOW LANGUAGE CHANGES

Language, like dress, seems to
change. Some years ago learned
.Hollander called on woman Of Dutch
descent in Albany, New York. She
spoke Dutch easily, but it was not the
same as that OF. her caller-hers. was
the language of two hundred years
ago.
in the meantime the language in
Holland had undergone many changes
while here in America it had remained
the same, having only been used by a
few persons of Dutch descent.
