TRAVEL ACCORDING TO MAP.
Airmen on Night Raids Have Course
Thoroughly Mapped Out Before
Beginning Their Journey.

Before leaving on n long-distanCe
night raid the airmen prepare their
maps with great care, marking on
them the detailed course from the mir.
drome to their objective.
BY means of a small balloon, whose
speed direction and height is recorded
by an instrument ON the ground, the
force and direction Of the wind at diff
ferent attitudes is discovered, and the
compass course, allowing for ind
drift, is marked beside the course -
the map. The compass course for the
return journey is also marked. The
speed of the machine Is calculated, and
on the line of the course Il series of
points is marked, showing where the
machine should be every ten minutes,
thus enabling the aiunan TO check his
progress and to know his approximate
position if he gets lost.
He watches the country below for
landmarks. He sees by his map that

utes. His watch shows that he has
been flying 40 minutes, and near the

SPANISH INFLUENzA.WHAT II IS AND HOW r SHOULD BE TREATED
Nothing Simply the Old Grip, or La Grippe That Was Epidemic in 1889 90 Only Then It Came From Russia By Way of France and
 This Time By Way of Spain
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 pasHages open thus making the breatheng easier, Vic's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied ever the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. The Vapo- Rub should be rubbed over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thick Eesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication direct ly to the parts affected. At the same time. VaporRub Es absorbed thru and stimulates the skin, attracting tine Blood on the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion with
 HOW TO AVOE9 THE DISEASE.
 Evidence seems to prove that this is :, germ disease, spread principal ly by human contact, chiefly thru coughing, sneezing or splitting. So uVtlli pCISOIS udVlHS GUluS, WIICH means avoiding crowds common Keep your bodily strength by plenty food. Above all, keep free from | colds, as colds irritates the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs.
 Use Vick's VaporRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt little VaporRub in Ia spoon anG inhale the vapors, or better ! still, use VaporRub in a benzOin steam kettle. If this is not available use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half fu!i of boiling water, put in half a | te"spoonful of BaporRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slow i ly boiling and inhJale the steam aris l inS.
 Note-Vick's VaporRub is the dis coyery of North Carolina druggist. i who found how to combine, in salve form. Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, i Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapOrs.
 VaporRub is comparatively new in New York State and New England and a few Western states where it is just now being introduced, but in the southern sections of the coun- try it is the standard home remedy in over million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jcrs were sold last year. It is parti- cularly recommended for children's c1cup or colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects. VaporRuh can be had in three sizes at all drIs- gists. adVt.

No Occasion for Panic.

No Occasion for Panic.
 Spanish influenza, which appeared iG spain ill May, has all the appear ancc of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous tpidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epi- demic in 4l2 E. C. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Ev- cry century has had it's attacks. Be- ginning With 1891, this country has had five epidenlcs, the last in 1SS9- SO
 There is no occasion for panic influenza itself has a very low per centage of fatalities-not over ono death out of every four hundred cas- es, according to the N. C. Board of Health. The clAief danger aies in complications arising, attacking prin- ciEally, patients in run down con- ditlcn--those who don't go to bed soon enough. or those who get up too e2rly.
 The Symptoms.
 Grippe, or influenza as it is nov called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness, and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to l04, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the musuous membrane, or lining of the air ssages-nose, threat and bronchial tubes--there is usually hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the 0c The Treatment.
 Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others take purgative, eat plenty of noulNshinIy food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry Qllfnine as- ),irin or Dover's Powder, etc, may ba administered by the physicians directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for in- fluelZa-the disease must run its course, but Nature will throw off the attack if only you keep up your ! strength. The chief danger lies in ! the complications which may arise ! IIfiuenza so weakens the bodily re" sistance that there is danger of pneus lnonia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes Inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very important that tho patient remain in bed until his strength returns-stay in bed al least two days or more after the ] fa,el has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong, stay in bed four days or more, according to the seve- rity of the attack.
