Cleveland O.. October 10-(SpeciaD-Tne Iron Trade Review today says: The American iron and steel trade looks upon the latest German peace drive with more or less academic interest for the mo- ment, but with all confidence in the valor. staunchness and resourcefulness of our troops on the firing lines to force more repentant state of mind upon the Teutonic powers than they yet nave eN- hibited. The industry has returned with redoubled vim to the production In even greater volume of iron and steel products for war use In pig iron and steel ingot production alone, new records nave Just been established. In fact the entire ln- dustry has just begun to attaln the oe- sired momentum of war activities for which plans have been maturing for months.
 With a most satisfactory and united eff ford, blast furnace interests in Septem- Der produced @ daily average Of HIS. l6o tons of pig iron, the highest average on record, but as it was S0-day month the total tonnage output did not quite reach that of October, 1916, which Is the record. The September output was JAP, ,955 tons, a considerable gam over August. To improved quality of coke and more favorable weather conditions are ascribed the more satisfactory increase. Several stacks went out of blast, but others are preparing to take their places. Allocations by the institute committee ap- pear to engage all attention of furnaces, and general trade inquiries, even for next years deliveries, receive Scant notice.

By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Talking about "influenza and who isn't these days?-an amusing experi- ence was related to me yesterday which gives an insight into just how rapid the progress of this dread disease is. When I use the word amusing" it is with an apology to all the doctors in town for they may look glum, and so did l at first, when 1 used it, but it has to do with an experience and not the disease-of peoples thoughtlessness and how other people are the innocent victims and whole lot of other things which you'll hear presently
 The woman who was telling me the story said:
 Dolly, had an adventure a few days ago and I believe you'd like to hear about it, wouldn't you?"
 "I would if it isn't about the influ- enza." 1 declared. I've heard and read and talked so much about it that I've almost got it-and why-even the jok- sters are making rhymes about it! Did you hear the one that goes like this: "I had little bird and it's name was Enzar,
 opened the window and-IN-FLU- ENZA?'
 "Well, this story is about the influ- enza, but it's worth hearing" she said quickly.
 "All right I replied. I'm listen- ing.'
 "It was like this," she went on to say q dropped in for luncheon few days ago at a nice, select little lunch place where there were just a few peo- ple it was early, and the crowd hadn't assembled. One of the women present, however, when she saw me come Tn, came rushing over to speak to me, and she shook hands violently with me; ana 1ust as she was about to say something, Ker-choo! Ker- choo,' she started like mad She sneezed So hard that 1t seemed as if the fountains of high heaven had turned loose and she had cornered them.
 Now of course we've all heard the expression." the woman continued, that So and Sos not to be 'sneezed at,' ana here I was being 'sneezed at in the

Go to Bed and Stay Quiet. Take Laxative-Eat Plen- ty of Nourishing Food. Keep Up Your Strength.
 N ature Is the
 Only "Cure"
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear ance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epi- demics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C., which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every cen tury has had its attacks. Beginnin s with 1881, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1SS9-90
 There is no occasion for panic-in- flucnza itself has very low percent age of fatalities-not over one death out of every 400 cases, according to the N. c. 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.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grippe, or influenza as it is now called, usually begins with chill, fol- lowed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucuous membrane or lining of the air ages-nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times sore throat or tonsil- its. and freouently all the appearances of a severe head cold.
 THE TREATMENT
 Go to bed at the first symptoms. not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others take a purgative. eat plenty of nour- ishing food remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Do- ver's powder, etc, may be admins tered by the physicians directions to relieve the aching. But there is TO cure or specific for influenza-the dis ease must run it's course. Nature her self 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 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 returns-stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever

Iron and Steel Reuieau

The production of finished steel has taken expected shifts and such lines as sheets, wire, etc, are continuing to give way to greater concentration upon the output of shell steel ship plates, etc.
 Sheet mills are becoming even worse pirched for bars. and some mill activi- ties appear to have declined as low as 30 per cent.
 Demand for steel rails, track fastenings, etc, for use by General Pershing's army has kept the mills going to high speed. Lake Superior iron ore shipments fell off slightly in September, but partly to less satisfactory car supply at lower lake ports.
 It is expected because of heavy com mitments of coal to the northwest and grain for our troops abroad October will witness the practical ending for the pres ent lake ore movement. Actual needs of customers have been pared down nearly coo tons and total lake movement is expected to run between 6l,000.000 and 62 000,0O0 tons for the season. This will insure an ample supply, however it is believed Steel corporation blast furnace operations are reported at/927 per cent Of capacity and ingot operation at 100 per cent.s

most outrageous manner. Usually think I'm something to be 'sneezed at,
 but not just at this particular time, be- cause of the Spanish influenza, and so I backed off-sort of cut short our so-
 cial amenities, as it were, and remarked Er-er-you seem er-er-to have a cold, I trust that it is not influenza Yes she replied, T have a cold; some horrid woman sat down by me in the street car the other day and sneezed at me-yes, sneezed at me like something crazy, and gave me her old cold, and and-'Ner- -ehoor Kerchoo!' she went on until fairly collapsed.
 "I saw myself" the woman continued, rolled up in bed with a cold-nflu- enza-maybe pneumonia-for you never
 know when you begin to sneeze how it is going to end. for cold is the concen- trated expression of the spirit of con-
 tradiction and petty annoyance. Just then one of my companions suggested to the woman with the cold that if she would prevent us from having the cold that the lady in the street car had wished on her'-no. 'sneezed on her
 wouldn't she please SNEEZE IN HER EANDKERCHIEF
 'The poor victim of the cold-or in- fluenza," the woman said, took the suggestion good naturedly and when she ulu duOIueT SIeeAlHS SlulllJ WllSD Loi- lowed in a very few minutes, she sneezed in her handkerchief, which Dr. Blue and all the other doctors tell us is the proper way to sneeze; and I'm passing it on to you-the story, not the sneeze- so that you may do the same.
 Of course I leased the woman by tell ing her that her main trouble was that this time she was the "sneezed at,'
 instead of the ''sneez- zee, - sort of 'more sneezed against than sneezing,' as 1t
 were, and if you knew who she was
 fwouldn't you most love to know? Blue Mousse you remember always started something and never would tell? Well, I'm a perfectly good Blue Mouse when
 it comes to telling names and tales), but anyway I diagnosed the case that way,
 and thought she was very amusing about it all.
 Aside from that, however, there's lot of real genuine good, old, hard horse
 sense in what the man said, because we all know that today, whether we are the ''sneezed at" or the "sneez-ee.'' a boys best friend is his-Handkerchief!

ECHOES OF BELGIAN
 CLOTHING DRIVE

Mrs. Charles Denegre and her' effi- cient committee have just shipped five more boxes of clothing for the Belgian refugees. This makes a total of 7S boxes of good, warm clothing sent to Belgium by the people of Birmingham and Jeff ferson county. The chapter can look upon this drive as a perfect success, and thanks all of those who gave and all or those who did the work in connection with the collection.
 Thanks are due Mr. E. w. Thompson, MT. H. c. White, Southern Motor Car company and Mir. Charles Denegre, who supplied and loaded the trucks, and Mr. J. H. Doughty for a special car placed for the boxes and supplied six helpers to load it, and to the owners of the building, who loaned the Red Cross the room at 1902 Third avenue. They have also generously donated the use of the same room for the linen shower.
 The Boy Scouts were splendid helpers, and proved themselves as valuable in this undertaking as they do in all others
 It may be of interest to know that Mrs. Denegre proved to be so fine a manager that her total expenses during the drive amounted to only $3.75.

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

All hh1[h AAO-NS
 In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off tae grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing eas- fer, Nick'S Vapo-Rub will be found ef- fective. 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 thicllly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body lib- crates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These yapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication di- rect1y to the parts affected. At the same time Vapo-Rub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, at tracting the blood to the surface and thus aids in relieving the congestion within
 HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
 Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through 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. Above all, keep free from colds. as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much bet ter breeding places for the germs.
 Use vick's Vapo-Rub at the very first sign of 9 cold. For a head cold, melt little Vapo-Rub in spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available use an ordi- nary teakettle. Fill half-full of ooii- ing water, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo-Rub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and fn- hale the steam arising.
 Note-Vick's Napo-Rub is the dis covery of North Carolina druggist. who found how to combine, in salve form. menthol and camphor with such volatile oils as eucalyptus, thyme, cu- applied to the body heat, these ngred- ients, are liberated in the form of va DOTS.
 Vapo-R Rub is comparatively new in New York state and New England and a few western states where it is just now being introduced, but in other sections of the country it is the stand ard home remedy in more than 1,0o0.- 00o homes for all forms of cold trou- bles. Over 6,00o,000 jars were sold last year. It is particularly recom- mended for children's croup or colds since it is externally applied and therefore can be used ,,s freely as de- sired without the slightest harmful ef- fleets Vapo-Rub can be had in three sizes at all druggists-Adv.

Influenza Epidemic
 Now in Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa, October 10.-(Special) Spanish influenza, which reached Tusca- loosa only few days ago, has reached the epidemic stage, especially at the University of Alabama, where in addi- tion to the 1000 students. 400 mechanical selectmen are stationed.
 One death has occurred at the univer- sity from pneumonia following influ- enza. Thomas G. Pennington, IS years old, of Wetumpka, Ala, succumbed Tues day night in the hospital. There is only one more case of pneumonia at the uni- Versity, and it is not severe. There is over 100 cases of influenza at the col lege, and it is spreading rapidly. The disease is also spreading over town. The cases at the university are being quar- antined as far as possible.
 There is serious lack of hospital room and equipment at the university. The Kappa Sigma and A. T. O. fraternity houses have been fitted up as hospitals, and with the Red Cross in charge and citizens and organizations generally CO., operating, beds, clothing and other neces- sary equipment is being gathered, and the. improvised hospitals will soon be in shape to care for all patients
 Physicians state that the disease here is mild in form, and there is little alarm over it's rapid spread. There is serious shortage of trained nurses and physicians, but with the volunteers from the Red Cross and city physicians all helping 1t is not thought the situation will be- come dangerous.
 A large number of boys from the Uni- versity of Alabama who attended the officers training camp at Fort Sherl- dan, entering last June, have been com missioned. Among the former students commissioned as second lieutenants are Walter Kennedy of Birmingham, Jack Steiner of Montgomery, John Cochran of Mobile. Fucker Agee of Birmingham, Fowler Dugger of Andalusia, Marvin Me- Cullough of Birmingham, and Hobart McNNhorter of Lineville.
