HOW TO AVOID THE
DISEASE

Evidence seems TO prove that
this is a germ disease, spread
principally by human contact,
chiefly thru 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 passages and render them
much better breeding places
for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the
very first sign Of a cold. For a
head cold. melt a little Vapo-
Rub in a spoon and inhale the
vapors, or better still. use Vapo-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle
II this Is not available. use an
ordinary tea-kettle. FIJI half
full OF boiling water, put IN
half a teaspoon Of vapoRub
from time 10 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 10
com bine, in salve form. Men
thol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus.
Thyme. CUbebs, etc, so that
when the salve is applied 20
the body hgat, these ingred-
tents are liberated IN the form
OF vapors. VapORub can be
rad IN three sizes at all drug
gists. While comparatively
new IN certain parts OF the
north. It is the standard home
remedy in the south and west
for all forms Of cold troubles
over six million jars were sold
last year. VaporRub IS par
ticularly recommended for
children's Group or colds. as II
is externally applied and can,
therefore. be used freely and
often without the slightest
harmful effects.

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
There Is no occasion for
panic-influenza or grip has q
very low percentage OF fatAli-
ties-not over one death out OF
every four hundred cases, &C
cording 10 the n. c. Board OF
Health. The chief danger lies
in complications arising, at
tacking principally. patients in
a run down condition-those
who don't go TO bed soon

That at last the Government is
finding out that the vicious charges
being brought against Negro soldiers
at the various environments is the re-
suit of carefully planned German
propaganda to prejudice the whites
against Negro troops and to prevent
their Kaiser's troops from catching
the hell they are going to get as soon
as u Negro boys get in action. If
two wouncded Negro soldiers can
whip and run t%wenty-four Huns, what
will that 10000 Negroes do when
they got in line of battle?

The vicious, libelous and I'M
warranted attack in the columns
of the Topeka Plaindealer on
Bishop H. B. Parks should pro-
woke not only the stern resent
ment of every loyal African
Methodist in the 5th Episcopal
District, but should cause those
of the faith who have lent aid
and counsel to this vile assault
on our beloved Bishop to hang
their heads in shame.
The reason the once useful
Plandealer has degenerated into
a mere handful is because its
editor has invariably attacked
those who are doing good and
constructive work for God and
the race, and it has brought him
to grief more than once.
Other reputable men attacked
have put him in Jail for just
such offenses and the Bishop
will only be doing his duty by
bringing suit for criminal libel
against that paper and also ask
ing 100000 damages, which
the editor has boastingly said he
possessed. Shame on the Plain
dealer and its editor.
