The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-10-25

Most authorities now agree that what
we call Spanish influenza is simply the
old fashioned grip, which was epidemic
here in lSS9.90. The influenza germs en-
ter through the nose and mouth and at
tack the lining of the air passages-nose,
throat and bronchial tubes.
There is no cure or specific for this
disease but Nature will throw of the at
tack, if only you conserve your strength.
A competent physician should always be
called. The use Of VapoRub does not in
terfere with any internal treatment and
it is now being used by predetermined ply
sioians everywhere, 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 passages
open, thus making the breathing easier.
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 thiekly and covered with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat Of the body liberates the ingre-
dents in the form of vapors. These va
pors, inhaled with each breath, carry
the medication directly to the parts af-
fected AT the same time, VapoRub 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 Spanish
influenza is germ disease, spread prinei-
pally by human contact, chiefly through

WATERBURY,
A. ]. Patterson Tenement and Two Shops
at Duxbury Corner Burned

Fire which evidently started from a
defective chimney in the A. j. Patterson
tenement at Duxbury Conn, occupied by
w. L, Eastman, destroyed that house
and two adjacent shops. The property
was built by the late Frank Wrisley,
sold to j. 0. Tilton and later to A. j.
Patterson. One shop had been fitted up
and used at times as a tenement, al
though it was Gn01cupied at that time.
The Wrisley red shop had been a
landmark for a number of years and
many nice pieces of furniture had been
made there. The other shop. more re-
Gently built, was owned by Harry Wris-
ley and was closely adjacent TO his resi-
dence. A large number gathered, coming
from the hills as we'll as nearer places,
while many came from the village and
from the tale mine to help out their
neighboring community. When it became
evident that this property could not be
saved, attention was given to the Wris-
ley home and big fight with water and
chemicals succeeded in saving this resi-
denee Furniture was moved from both
tenements in this house, one occupied by
Mr.. Wrisley and the other by Forrest
Harvey. 1t is understood that Mr.. Wris-
ley and Mr.. Patterson are both insured.
1t could not be learned as to whether
MIR. Eastman was insured or not. IL
was reported that he had one hundred
bushels of potatoes in his cellar, the CON
dition of which it was hard to determine
last night. A feature of the fire was the
pig which was wandering without a
home and fowls much disturbed over a
roosting place The buildings are Just
at the bottom of the so-called Foss hill.
The condition of Homer Freeman at
the Center was considered critical last
evening.
The news of the death of Miss Olive
Guernsey, who had been much in the
home of her cousin, Mrs. Julia Seabury,
was received with regret by many who
have met her here and former students
at Montpelier seminary.

State of Vermont
Horace F. Graham, Governor
A PROCLAMATION

This nation loses annually by
fire two hundred fifty million dol
lars, a sum nearly equal to the
interest on the fourth Liberty
loan. This vast amount means
the destruction Of immense guam
titles of foodstuffs, cotton, wool,
lumber and munitions, all vitality
necessary to the conduct of the
war. Production is crippled and
efficiency impaired by fire. The
adoption of proper measures and
the exercise of care would mate
rally reduce this enormous loss.
Fire prevention at all times, but
especially at this time, is a pa
triotic duty, therefore, /, Horace
+. Graham, governor, designate

Fire Prevention Day
and | urge the cooperation Of
newspapers, civic bodies, churches,
schools and homes, that every in
fuence may be used to promote
fire prevention. Every person in
the state Is called upon to empha
size the subject of lettering all
conditions that will reduce the
hazard of FIRE. We must have
wealth to win the war, and the
destruction of property by FIRE de-
lays our war endeavors. We are
straining every effort to bring the
war TO an early and successful
close. We may best secure an
early peace by continuing to pre-
pare for a long war We must
conserve all property for ourselves
and for our country, and one Of
the best means OF conserving prop
erty is safeguarding it from fire.

Several kinds of heavy scales needed

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 Yick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of cold. For head cold, melt a
little VapoRub in 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 of boiling water, put in half
teaspoon of YapoRub from time to
time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling
and inhale the steam arising.
NoTE-vick's vapoRub is the discov-
cry of North Carolina druggist, who
found how to combine, in salye form,
Menthol and Camphor with such volatile
oils at Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, ETC.,
so that when the salve is applied to the
body heat, these ingredients are liberated
in the form of vapors. VapoRub can be
had in three sizes Soc 60c, sl.20--at all
druggists. 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.
VapoRub is particularly recommended
for childranfs rrolIn mr. colds a II Is ay-
ternally applied and can, therefore, be
used freely and often without the
slightest harmful effeets.--Adv.
