ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.


Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in NAV has ali the appearance OF
grip or la grippe, which has swept over
the world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history runs, Hippocratts re-
ietS 10 an epidemic in Az b. {. which
IS regarded by many to have been intlu-
enza. Every century has had its at
tack' Beginning with 1881 this eoun-
try has had five cpidemicS, the last in
lS8Q-9O.
There IL no occasion for panic-in-
iluen1a itself has a very low percent
age Of iatalitieS-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-ihoSe who
don't 90 10 bed soon enough or those
who get mp too early.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe, or influenza as II s now
called, usually begins with a chill iol.
lowed by aching, ieverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a
general feeling OF weakness and depres-
sion. The temperature is from 100 TO
lO4, and the fever usually lasts from
three to five days. The germs attack
the mucous membrane, or lining Of the
air passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes--thets Is USUALLY a hard
cough, especially bad at night otter
times a sore throat or tonsilitis. and
frequently all the appearances OF a Sc.
we're head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go TO bed at the first symptoms. mo-
only for your own sake but TO avoit
spreading the disease to others-take
purgatiye, eat plenty Of nourishinI
food, remain perfectly au,et and don
worry Quinine, aspirin or Dover
Powdet, etc, may be administered b,
the PHYSICIANS directions TO relieve IN,
aching But there Is no cure or specific
for infnenEa--the disease must run n

PROTECT THE GAME !
l.. r. Beauchamp Suggests Sports
men Get Together to Feed
Starving Birds.

Sporting Editor. Every Evening.
Dear Sir:
How many sportsmen Of Sthc city or
State have thought about the plight OF
the quail and rabbits this winter? With
snow storm following snow storm, until
the entire State is buried under
two feet of snow. the game, especially
tha Bob White, is having hard time Z"
exist. Reports from various sections are
TO the effect that they are dying every
where from starvation and unless some
systematic effort is made to get tood 10
them until the snow clears away, there Is
going to be little sport III Delaware Tor
some years to come.
We who get pleasure and find pasene
i'm poiny after game during the open
season with our gun and dog should make
every effort possible to save our game.
| have reports from few farmers who
arc feeding their game birds but this class
are too few. and those OF MS who live IN
the cities and towns should do our part
in poiny ont and sec the residents OF the
country side and solicit their aid and be
willing To nav them for their grain used
IN ie,siinp the birds. Vt IL all but impos-
sihle In hiring relief to all Of them but every
effort on the part Of tic gunner Will help.
So fellow sportsmen OF Delaware,
let's be up and doing il IT is not too late.
Let every individual do their part by
interesting some one to go out and care
for a covcy Of quail and much good will
he accomplished. Our game birds are
few enough as it has been in the past and
I fear after this severe winter, unless some
thing is done to protect them at once
covcvs Of quail will be few and far between
in Delaware fields.
