SOUTH AMERICA
 ASKED ID JOIN
 WITH UNCLE SAM
Requested by Washington to Urge That Chile and Peru Lay Aside Their Quarrel and Have Amity
fRv Review Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-All South American countries have been asked by the United States to join in its sug- gestion to Chile and Peru that the in- terests of Pan-American unity demand and amicable settlement of their con troyersy over the provinces of Tacna and Africa Acting Secretary Polk of the state department, announced this today, explaining that it had been CT roneously reported that Argentina alone had been approached on the subject.
 Secretary Polk made it clear that the American government was not of fering its good offices to compose the trouble between the two South Amer ican republics, but at the same time let it be known that if such good of fices were requested they would ex- tend promptly This information was conveyed to all the South American republics with the suggestion that each make similar representations to both Chile and Peru.
 The American government was re- ported as being particularly desirous that conditions in the western hemi- sphere be. settled during the meeting of the peace conference at Paris. The Tacna and Africa dispute, it was said, is the only serious disagreement now existing in the western world.

HOW TO USE vICK'S VAP0RUB IN
 TREATING SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack the Lining of the Air Passages When VapoRub is Applied Over Throat and Chest the Medcated Vapors Loosen the Phleg, Open the Air Pas sages and Stimulate the Mucous Membrane to Throw Off the Germs

til 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 grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vicks VapoRub will be found effect i've. 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 covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapOr. These vapors, in haled with each breath. carry the medication directly to the parts at- fected. At the same time, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the sur face. 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 cough ing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid ing crowds common drinking cups roller towels, etc. Keep up your bod ily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air and good food.
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
 Above all. keep free from colds. as colds irritate the lining of the air pas sages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vicks VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold. melt lit tle VapoRub in a spoon and inhale the vapors. or better still. use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available. use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half full of boiling water. put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising NOTE: Vick's VapoRub is the discov- cry of a North Carolina druggist, Who found how to combine, in salve torm' Menthol and Camphor with such vola- tile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme. Gu bebs. etc. so that when the salye Is applied to the body heat, these ingre- dients are liberated in the form or vapors.
 VapoRub is comparatively new In New York state and New England and A few western states, where 1t Is just now being introduced, but in other sec tions of the country it is the standard home remedy in more than million homes for all forms Of cold troubles Over six million jars were sold last year lt is particularly recommenden for childrens cTOup or colds. since lt is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects Napo- Rub can be had in three sizes at all druggists.

purpose of serving efficiently the paramount needs of the war and at the same time furnishing the best pos sible service to the public, whether such operation tended to prove or disproye any theory of railroad con trol, no matter what 1t might be. have formed no opinion myself as to what is the best disposition of the railroad problem because the test has not been sufficient to prove conclu- sively the right solution of the prob lem. l believe that a five-year test will give the American people the right answer An ounce of expert ence is worth ton of theory.
 Doesn't Mean Ownership.
 There are those who may say that an extension of five years for such a test will mean government ownership. Personally, l do not believe it. But whether such a test would indicate that the ultimate solution shall be government ownership or a modified form of private ownership under eff fective federal regulation, should not cause us to hesitate or refuse to act. ,"
 If congress does not extend the time for government control," said Mir. McAdoo, the railroads should at the earliest possible moment"
 Practical difficulties of continuing government operations under exist ing authority, he pointed out, are the growing conflicts of authority be- tween state and federal jurisdictions, inadequacy of the half billion dollar revolving fund for financing improve ments, inability to force railroads to pay for cars and locomotives without litigation. and to require terminal improvements.
 Prosperity in Balance.
 Upon the efficiency of the trans portation machine in America said MT McAdoo, depends in great meas ure the future prosperity of the na- tion. Involved in this property is the extension of our foreign trade. We produce so much more than we con sume that markets must be found for that surplus. Those markets are the competitive markets of the world. We must be able to enter them upon equal terms with any other nation. Our transportation system. both on land and water must, therefore. func- tion at the highest point of efficiency and at the lowest possible cost, if we are to get our reasonable and fair share of the worlds trade and in turn be able to keep a prosperous, con

 Competition Is Hurtful.
 ITO attempt to continue federal control under the inadequate provi- sions of the present federal control act and for the very brief period it authorizes, would be to multiply our difficulties and invite failure. On the other hand, l am convinced from the experience of the past year, that the return of the railroads to the old competitive standard would be hurt ful alike to the public interest and to the railroads themselves. This course, however, will bring fewer evils in its train than the unsatisfac- tory if not impotent federal control provided for by the present act. The railroads were taken over as a war measure. They have been operated mount purpose of winning the war. think it will be generally admitted that the war service has been sue cessfully rendered and I am sure that experience of great value and benefit has been gained, not only for the public but for the railroads them selves during this brief test"
 Conference Called Today.
 A conference of representatives of interests, affected by transportation will be held here tomorrow and Fri day at the call of the United Chamber of commerce to formulate a statement of principles which may serve as the basis for popular discussion of the nations future attitude toward rail roads and other transportation agen- cies. The conference will be informal and development of a definite pro gram is not expected at this time.
 President Is Puzzled.
 President Wilson in bis recent ad- dress to congress said he was unable to decide what should be done with the railroads, and asked congress to take up the question for discussion He declared that unless action was forthcoming he would be forced to turn back the railroads to private management.
 Acting under this plan, the railroad administration had been preparing to

CALL A PHYSICIAN-GO TO BED-STAY QUIET
 DON'T WORRY

There is no Occasion for Panic-Influ-
 enza Itself Has a Very Low Per
 eentage of Fatalities, Not Over One
 Death Out of Every Four Hundred
 Cases, According to the N. C. Board
 of Health. The Chief Danger Lies
 in Complications Arising, Attacking
 Principally Patients in a Run Down
 Condition-Those Who Don't Go to
 Bed Soon Enough, or Those Who
 Get Up Too Early
 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 epidemics 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. Beginning with 1881, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1SS9-90.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grip, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with chill, fol lowed by aching. feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a 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 mucous membrane, or lin ing of the air passages-nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is usually hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a soar throat or tonsilitis and frequently all the appearances of 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 purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food. remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, Aspirin or Doyer's Powder. etc, may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza-the disease must run it's course. Nature herself | will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chiel danger lies in the complications which may arise.

PRESIDENT ASKS HELP FOR NEEDY
 OF NEAR EAST
Issues Proclamation Request ing Country to Give Gener- ously for These Sufferers of War
CBy Review Leased wire)

NEW YORK, Dec. IA prOclama- tion, by President Wilson, calling upon the people of the United States to contribute money to sustain the Ar menian, Syrian, Greek and other war sufferers in the near east, during the winter, was made public here to- day by the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief. This committee, with the American com mittee for relief in the near east, will conduct a campaign to raise a minimum of $3O,O0O.00O from January 12 to 19. to finance this relief pro ject, which is approved also by the French government. The presidents proclamation, dated at the White House on November %, in part, reads:
 'Tt is estimated that about 100000 Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other war sufferers in the near east will require outside help to sustain them through the winter. Many of them are now hundreds of miles from their home lands. The vast majority of them are helpless women and chil- dren. including 100000 orphans.
 'I therefore again call upon the people of the United States to make even more generous contributions than they have made here tofore to sustain through the winter months, those, who through no fault of their own, have been left in a starving, condition, and to help re- establish these ancient and sorelY op- pressed people in their former homes on a self-supporting basis"

ASK FOR EXPLANATION

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 1.-The Chil- can government has sent a message to the government of Argentina, asking the latter to explain its offer of media tion in the controversy between Peru and Chile. The message inquiries whether mediation would be confined to clearing the present crisis, which grew out of the disturbances at Iqui- que, or whether it would contemplate a settlement of the old question of the provinces of Tacna and Africa.
 The Chilean newspapers assert that the government of Chile would accept intervention with the object of set ting the lquique trouble, but would re- ject it in the Tacna-Arica dispute.
