OKLAHOMA CITY
BEING CLEANED
NEW METHODS ARE BEGUN
YESTERDAY TO KILL
INFLUENZA.

Oklahoma City. Oct. 2l.-Nigor-
Gus cleanup methods were started
yesterday under direction of the
city health department in an effort
to check the spread OF Spanish FLU
which Mike Donnelly, city commis-
Sioner said last night is decreasing
in fatal effects.
Groups OF men under supervision
OF an inspector Of the health de
partment started work yesterday
cleaning the streets. Fire hose was
used and stream, OF water were
turned upon the pavement. Colored
laborerS swept the streets following
the first flushing alter which the
hose was again turned upon the
pavement.
Squads OF laborerS went to Pack
ington and Walnut Grove and began
an alley and yard cleanup campaign
Homes where the epidemic had eX-
acted heavy toll were inspected care
fully for unsanitary conditions. and
when the source OF trouble was To-
Gated men were instructed to remedy
the condition.
Lime was used in abundance in all
the alleys OF the suspected sections
of town. Commissioner Donnelly
said that the alleys and yards OF
Packingtown and Walnut Grove
were found to be hot beds of dis
ease germs. 1t is absolutely essen
tial he said that all these place be
cleaned up. Otherwise the epidemic
cannot be checked.

should be served in the plate or dish
from which it is eaten. The side
dish should be made superiluity
Service plates should be eliminated
There should be no more Silverware
on the table than is actually needed
to serve a meal"
These rules, and others OF SIMILAR
tenor, are meant to apply specifically
TO the serving OF food to the 9OO0-
900 Americans who eat in restaurants
and hotels. 1t will readily occur to
any intellient man or woman that
nearly all OF them may be applied
with equal pertinency in the service
OF food to the other 9OOOOOOO or
more Americans who eat in their
own homes. 1t is in the homes, in
fact, that the greatest saving OF food
and labor may be effected.

NINE ENLISTED MEN
SUBJECT THEMSELVES
TO INFLUENZA TEST

Washington, Oct. 20.-Nine en-
listed men of the navy who volun-
teered to be inoculated with influ-
enza serum TO enable medical OF
6cers OF the navy to learn specific
facts regarding the disease and pos
sible means OF its prevention, were
officially commended by Secretary
Daniels. The test was conducted in
Boston.
The men include Electrician Thos
F. Null. Little Rock. Ark.
The experiments took place early
in the spread OF the epidemic and
proved conclusively that the dis
ease is not due to a filterable virus.
None contracted the disease.

so that the Allied soldiers will be

He who horribly destroyeS his own

BLEASE BELLIES COWS SONS.
Record of Six Soldiers Who Have
Been Villified.

AS taken from the Charleston
American, which was twice excluded
from the mails because of disloyal
utterances, Cole L. Blease said in his
Branwood speech:
''The governor brags that he has
five sons in the army. 1t is so. Yet
all of them are strutting about in
pretty uniforms and holding com
missions and are in no more dan
ger of meeting bullets than this elec-
trio light under which I stand.'
That the public may know the
truth of the matter the following in
formation as to the standing and
whereabout of Governor Manning s
sons is published:
W. S. Manning is % years old. He
enlisted as private when the call
was made for soldiers to 60 to the
border. He went to the border, serv-
ed as private until the troops were
ordered home.
Upon the declaration of war with
Germany he again enlisted as a pri'
vate. Subsequently he went to train
ing camp and won a captains com
mission. He is now in active service
on the front in France.
Vivian Manning is 80 years old. He
was a successful business man in
Greenville. He closed up his business
and volunteered as private. He is
still a private and is at Camp Taylor
Louisville, Kentucky.
Bernard Manning is 29 years old
He enlisted as a private, and subse-
quently went through the training
school at Oglethrope where he won a
captains commission. If he is not
now on the seas or in France it will
not be long before he will be on tn>
western front in active service.
Wyndham NJ. Manning is 2S years
old. He graduated from West Poin'
in 1918. He served in Alaska, and
went to the border as captain of a
company of cavalry raised in Char
lesion. When he returned from the
border he was assigned as an instruc-
tor at Oglethrope and has been pro-
noted to be major. He too if not on
his way to the western front will not
be long in going.
Burwen Deas Manning is 19 years
old. He was at the University of Vir-
ginia when war was declared. He en-
listed as a private. He is now a cor
poral and is in France.
John Adger Manning is 1S years
old. He too was at school but volun-
teered as a private and is now SER
geant at Camp Jackson. So soon as
command is ordered to France he
will go, and whether or not he has
already gone is only for the authori-
fios tn know Or saw

Britain Destroyer Tanks.

In a naval sense, the usual tanks
or landships, whether they be Brit
ish, French or German, have here
tofore been of the battleship type,
that is to say, they have been slow
moving heavily armored and pow
erfully armed craft, meant rather to
stand up and fight to finish than to
dash out of combat and to depend
on quickness of movement as the
main weapon { But in breaking up
and pursuing Bands OF infantrymen
in the open there has been a distinct
call for destroyer type of tank-one
that could travel at comparatively
high rate of speed and that possess
ed a higher order of mobility in
general.
-. To the British, the originators OF
the tank idea, has remained the fur
ther honor of developing a tank OF
the fast, destroyer type. This type,
known as whippet, has already made
it's appearance on the battleields
in recent open fighting, and its de-
but has been crowned with success
The whippet has caterpillar treads
of the usual design, arranged on
either side of sort of fiat car is
mounted a single turret which houses
the crew and the several machine
guns with which the whippet is arm
ed. The fiat car body measures eigh-
teen feet in length, while the turret
is six feet in height. The engine is
placed at the rear of the gun turret
in a separate armored housing.
1t appears that the whippet tank
can readily make twelve miles an
hour, and a fully equipped Teuton
infantryman can hardly hope to
maintain that speed for prolonged
period.

COMING TO BAMBERG
The Associated Doctors

SPECIALISTS
Will Be At
MAYFLOWER INN SATURDAY,
AUGUST 10th
FOR ONE DAY ONLY.
Wonderful Results-Marvelous DEM
onStration in Chronic Disease
Cases by Their New Sys-
TEN Treatment.
OFFER SERVICE FREE OF
CHARGE.
Word has just been received that
the Associated Doctors, specialists,
licensed by the State of South Caro-
lima, and who have met with such
phenomenal success throughout the
entire southeast, will be in Bamberg
on Saturday, August 10th, for one
day only to demonstrate their ne"
system of treatment of chronic dis
ease cases.
This will indeed be good news to
those who find it inconvenient to visit
the central laboratories in Birming-
ham, located at Suite 311-12 Lyric
Theatre Building, where the organiza.
tion has Southern headquarters.
These regular, reputable physicians
believe that the combined skill of
several trained specialists in chronic
diseases can accomplish more than
one doctor alone-in other words,
in unity there is strength.
The offer to treat all who call on
this visit absolutely free, is their
original method Of getting their sys-
tenn of treatment before the public
quicker, and no one, rich or poor,
white or colored, should neglect to
take advantage of their very liberal
offer-ABSOLUTELY FREE (medi-
cine excepted.) No cutting-No knife.
1t makes, no difference how many
doctors you have consulted or how
many patent medicines you have
taken, you can not afford to miss this
opportunity of ascertaining your ex-
act condition and be honestly advised.
No one should require further evi-
dence of the skill of these specialists,
than the following letter recently re-
ceived from a we'll known Baptist
minister:
II can't thank you enough, Doc
tor" said the Rev. R. l.. Fletcher,
