The destruction of wild life in na- ture is one of the tragedies attending the march of civilization, but the pre- servation of threatened species is among the great romanees.

BUSINESS DISTRICT TO

The business section of the city will
soon take on a holiday appearance with
II blocks decorated with Christmas
trees, holly, decorated lamp posts and

sorts of holiday green.
At meeting last evening of the
Business Mems League of the Com

men agreed to go down in their pock-
cts and each contribute $5 towards Civ

1t was figured that about 5000 would
be necessary with which to purchase

In regard to closing hcuSrs before

With this view the larger merchants
of the city will not remain open even
for the Monday and Tuesday nights

people favor early closing and will sup

life miserable for the groeers until they
consent to put in the foreign made
bread.
II was suggested that if the home
bakeries would advertise q little and
let people know just what they are do
ing since the flour restrictions had
been removed, that an outside bakery
would have q lot of trouble breaking
into the city. 1t was also opiued that
| if the home bakeries would talk to their
customers through the newspapers and
tell of lot of things they are doing,
the good housewife of Salem would not
want to buy Portland bread. As 1t Is,
the housekeeper isn't quite sure wheth-
er the Salem or Portland bread is the
best.
On motion of Henry W. Meyers, the
Business Mems League unanimously
voted that the city should support only
Salem made bread. AS to what the
women would do if they had some free
coupons for the Portland bread that
was too deep problem for discussion
Theodore Roth said he didn't intend to
put in Portland bread and H. S. Poi.
sal told Of his trouble once before when
free bread coupons were distributed by
an outside firm trying to get on the
inside of the bread business in Salem.
Dan Fry thought # the Portland
folks wanted to establish a bakery here
it would be all right to patronize them
but he was opposed to anything in the
way of working up business by means
of peddlers and wagons. He thought
q Eat Salem Broad" would be a fine
slogan.
Anyhow as the matter now stands

ord against any Portland firm coming

Be New Sport In Salem

in swing, yet not quite so anxious to
play in the "soft' Irish weather so
common about this time Of year, will
now have fine chance to swing their
clubs safe from overhanging clouds and
the moisture of the Willamette valley.
AT the annual meeting of the Coun-
try club last evening, held at the Com
mercial club, it was decided to estab-
lish indoor golf playing. This is done
by securing room in the business dis
triet, putting in slopng floor and
with canvas at one end, smash away
at the balls, with the assurance that
the balls will return 10 the plyer, thus
eliminating the expense Of an indoor
caddie.

The turkeys win be live and according
to some low scores nude last Sunday,

WORRY

There is no Occasion for Panic-Influ-
enza Itself Has Very Low Per
centage of Fatalities Not over One
Death Out of Every Four Hundred
Cases, According to the N. 9. 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.
Spanish Influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has all the appear
ance of grip or la grippe, whicn las
swept over the world in numerous cpl
denies as far back as history runs.
Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in
4l2 B. G. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every century
has had its attacks. Beginning with
1881, this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1SS990.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip. or influenza, as it is now call
ed, usually begins with a chill follow
ed by aching, feverishness and some
times nausea and dizziness and a gen
eral feeling Of weakness and depres-
sion. The temperature is from 100 to
lOl, and the fever usually lasts from
three to five days The germs attack
the mucous membrane, or lining of the
air pssages-nose, throat and bronchial
tubes-theIe is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night, often times a
sore throat or tonsiitis, and frequently
all the appearances Of severe cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to cthers-take
pusqative, eat plenty o. nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don t
worry. Quininc, Asperin or Dover 5
Powder. etc, may be administered by
the physicians, directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for inimenza-the disease must
run its course. but nature herself will
throw off the attack if only You keep
UP v0Ur strength The chief danger
lies In the compilations which may
arise. Influenza 50 woakcns the bodily
resistance 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 retRrHs-stay in bed at least
two days or more after tie fever has
left you. or il you are over 80 or not
strong stay IN bed four days or mere.

HOW TO USE v|CK'S vAPORUB IN
:. TREATING SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack The Lining OF The Air Pass
ages. When VapoRub Is Applied Over Throat And
Chest The Medicated VapOrs Loosen The Phlegm
Open The Air Passages And Stimulate The Mucous
Membrane To Throw Off The Germs
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 passgcs open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick 3
| 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
Vapo-Rub should be rubbed in over
the parts until the skin is red, spread
on thickly and covered with two thick
nesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck as tho
heat of the body liberates the ingre-
dents in the form of vapors. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath, car
ry the medication directly to the parts
affected. At the same time, VapoRub
lis absorbed through and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aids in relieving the con-
gestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
germ disease, spread principally by
human contact chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid per-
sons having colds-which means avoid
ing crowds-common drinking cups,
roller towels, etc Keep up your bodily
strength by plenty of exercise in the
Iopen air, and good food
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all, keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining of the air pas
sages 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 lit
tie in spoon and inhale the vapors,
or better still use YapoRub in a BEN
zoin steam kettle. If this is not avail
able, 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 boil
Ing, and inhale the steam arising
