POLICE DO HEROIC
WORK IN CRISIS
Care for Many of City's
Sick While Performing
Regular Duties
OFFICERS BREAK
UNDER STRAIN

With the influenza epidemic appar-
emily on the wane and twelve OF the
score or more officers who were i'll re-
turned 10 duty, the local police depart
ment is beginning 10 resume its regu-
lar routine. During the epidemic the
department served the citizens OF vii
mington twofold, both as guardians OF
! the peace and also as guardians or the
city's health
That this statement is true IS shown
by the records Of the police patrol
crew who carried influenza victims
from their homes to the various emer-
gency hospitals at all times Of the
night and day. The two crews OF this
machine worked steadily during the
three weeks that the disease ragged.
That the work performed by the po-
lice was no sinecure was shown by the
great number OF officers who fell vic
tins Of the disease. During the height
OF the epidemic one member Of the
force died from the ailment. He was
Patrolman John ]. Riley. one Of the
most popular members OF the depart
ment.
To add 10 the troubles OF the depart
ment the disease manifested itself In
the police stations and fifteen or more
men confined there on various offenses
were found 10 be III. In each OF these
cases the victims were carried out by
the patrol crews 20 the machines and
hurried TO the various hospitals.
At times the demands on the patrol

but he carried the disease to his own
family and one Of his children Is now

other officers were compelled 10
cease work after contracting the dis
ease and those who remained on duty,
feeling the effect Of the strain under
which they labored. co-operated with
the local Board Of Health in assisting
those who needed help. In this work
the police We're ably assisted by City
Physician Perkins one night, the police
kept the city physician on the move
until daylight attending victims whose
relatives or friends had called the
police for help.
While the rank and flle were doing
this work the office Of Chief OF Police
Black was besieged with kilograms and
phone calls from relatives Of those
stricken from other cities asking for
information about their loved ones.
Some idea OF this work was shown TO-
day when the kilograms were found TO
number a score or more. In many
cases those who died here had wives
or mothers in other cities and it rested
on the police department to get word
10 those who had been beresved TO
break the news to them.

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.
There is no occasion for panic
influenza or grip has a very
low percentage OF fataliiies-not
over one death out OF every four

n. C.. Board OF Health. The chief
danger lies in complications arls-
ing, attacking principally. pa
tients In a rundown condition
those who don't go 10 bed soon
enough, or those who get up too
early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems % prove that
this Is a germ disease, spread
principally by human contact
chiefly through coughing, sneez-
ing or splitting. So avoid per-
sons having colds. which means
avoiding crOwds-cOmmOn drink
ing cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plen-
ty 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 pass- 1
ages and render them much bet
ter breeding places for the germs.
Use Nick's NapoRub at the very
first sign Of a cold. For a head
cold, melt a little VapoRub in a
spoon and inhale the vapors, or
better stlll, use NapoRub in a
benzoin steam kettle. II this Is
not available, use an ordinary
tea-kettle. Fill half-full OF boil
ing water, put in half a teaspoon
OF VapoRub from time to time
keep the kettle just slowly boil
ing and inhale the steam arts

Note.-Vick's NapoRub Is the
discovery OF a North Carolina
druggist, who found how so COM
bine. in salve form, Menthol and
Camphor with such volatile oils
as Eucalyptus. Thyme, Cubebs.
etc, so that when the salve Is
applied TO the body heat these
ingredients are liberated in the

THE SYMPTOMS.

THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as IL Is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching. feverishness
and sometimes nausea and dizzi-
ness, and a general feeling OF
weakness and depression. The
temperature Is from 100 TO i0i,
and the fever usually lasts from
three 90 five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or
lining OF the air passages-nose,
throat and bronchial tubes -
there Is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night, often
times a sore throat or tonsilitis.
and frequently all the appear
ances OF a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go 10 bed at the first symptoms
take a purgatlve. eat plenty OF
nourlshing food, remain perfect
" quiet and don't worry. Ma
ture herself Is the only cure"
for influenza and will throw on
the attack II only you conserve
YOUR strength. A little QUlNlNE'
aspirin or Dover's Powders may
be given by the physicians d.
rcctions 30 allay the aching. Al
WAYS call a doctor. since the CHIEF
danger Of grip Is I'm its weaken
ing effect on the system, when
allows complications 10 develop.
These are chiefly pneumonia and
bronchitis, sometimes infiamma-
ton OF the middle ear, or heart
affections. For these reasons, 1t
IS very important that the pa
tient remain in bed until his
strength returns-stay in bed at
least two days or more after the
fever has left you. or II you are
over 80 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 grip germs, to aid in loosen
ing the phlegm and keeping the
air passages open, thus making
the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective.
Hot, wet towels should be ap-
piled 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 thickly and COW
er with two thicknesses Of hot
flannel cloths. Leave the CLOTH
ing loose around the neck as the
heat OF the body liberates the In
gradients in. the form Of yapors.

breath. carry the medication di-
rectly 20 the parts affected. Al

Be Able to Vote.

The year 1919 promises TO
usher in a bountiful crop of can
didates for the various offices
from governor down TO const-
able.
A campaign year is of the ut
most importance to the people. TOR
at this time they are called upon
to make selection of men TO make
and enforce the laws. Good men
must be chosen to make good
laws, and after these laws have
been made. equally good men
must be chosen to enforce them.
In this connection it is timely
10 stress the importance OF every
voter to look after the payment
of his taxes. You will want to
vote tor your friends next year
and cannot do 1T unless your
taxes are paid before February l,
1919. Be sure to pay your taxes
before that time.
Besides voting for your friends,
there are likely to be issues
which you ought to be able TO
pass upon with your vote.
This country has been at war;
peace is in sight; a reconstruction
from war to peace conditions
must take place; you ought TO be
in a position to pass upon these
questions that may be proposed,
if they should chance to be sub
to you.
In other words, be sure that
you are in a position to discharge
your full duty as a citizen. There
is no way under the sun that you
can do this better than TO be able
to vote.
