specific for inf1uenza-the disease must run its course. Nature herself 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 resistance that there Is danger of pneu- monia 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 over 50 or not strong, stay in bed four days or more. according to the severity of the attack.
 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
 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 passages open, thus making the breathing cas- fer, Vick's VapoRub will be found ef- fective. Hot, wet towels should be ap- between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then Vick's 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 dEOuno tu0 LcCht dS lHS iSdL Oi NAtS body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, in- haled with each breath, carry the med- ication directly to the parts affected. At the same time, VapoRub Is ab- sorbed 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.

 Use Viok's vapoRue at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, malt a little in a spoon and inhale the va DOTS, or better still, use VapoRub In benxoin steam kettle. If this Is not available, use an ordinary tea-kett1e. Fi1 half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boling-inhale the steam arising.

The Gasoline Situation
vs.. German Propaganda

A variety of insidious German pro-
paganda has been directed against
the automobile industries of this
country. A number of alarming and
malicious stories have broken loose
simultaneously in a dozen of the
larger cities and while the stories
may vary in some unimportant de-
tails, the purpose of them all has
been the same, and that is to alarm
the motoring public and to create, if
possible, a state Of doubt and un-
certainty and panic regarding the fu-
ture Of the motor car.
One story which has been indus
circulated was that begin
ming July 1st, the government would
order the discontinuance of the use
Of passenger cars on Sundays, for
period of twelve cosecutive Sun
days. Another Hun lie was to the
effect that the government would
shortly issue gasoline cards for ra-
ton Of one gallon per day to all pas
senger cars and that in the very near
future it would be necessary to use
a mixture Of half gasoline and half
kerosene. All these and similar sto-
ries are as false as they are malic-
ious.
There is no shortage of gasoline as
yet in this country; there is no short
age of gasoline transportation. 1t is
not to be denied that there is a pos
sibility of a gasoline shortage in the
future and that it will be necessary
eventually to conserve and economiZe
on the use of gasoline, but at the
present time there is no shortage and
J the government is not contemplating
any action Of an alarming nature.
1t is necessary, however, to con-
serve fuel, oil and coal, and the recent
order of the government to this effect
was directed solely at the use of
pleasure yachts and it was explicitly
stated in the bulletin sent out by the
fuel commission that "this order does
not apply to gasoline"
Congress has passed the Oil Leas-
ing Bill, providing for the opening up
of over 100000 acres of oil land in
the west. Not more than 5000 acres
may be leased to a corporation and
+ $50 acres to an individual. The gov
ernment is to receive one-eighth of
all the oil obtained.
This is no time to be hysterical; (;
be sensible, sit tight and "don't rock
the boat" is good advice to every
motorist at this time. Pay no at
tention to wild and improbable ru-
mors affecting the use Of motor We
hicles. 1t is the patriotic duty of
every automobile owner to conserve
in service by cooperating with the
dealer and the service station in a
movement to close all service stations
at night and on Sundays.
Thirty thousand skilled mechanics
can be placed at the service Of the
national government if unnecessary
service be thus eliminated. Every
motorist should learn to operate and
care for his own car. Drive your
own machine, make your own repairs
and HELP WIN THE WAR. 1t
