NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish influenza, which appeared In
Spain in May, has all the appearances
of grip, or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic in Az
B. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had it's attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 18S9-90.
There Is no occasion for panic-infiu-
enza itself has a very low percentage
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, attack
ing principally patients in rundown
condition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as 1t Is now called,
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching, feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a general
feeling Of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 104,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to 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; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances Of a severe head
cold.
Tue 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 nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Doyer's
Powders, ETC., may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for infiuenza-the disease must
run its course. Nature herself will
throw of 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 pneu.
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these fea-
sons 1t 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 has left you, or
If you are over so or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity of the attack.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun.-In its first major
operation against the Germans, CON
sidering the clearing out of the St
Michel salient as local affair, the
American army in few days less
than month, has liberated more than
forty-five villages and advanced to
an average depth of ten miles, free
ing 165 square miles of territory. In
the offensive the Americans have cap
tured more than 10000 prisoners.
The Americans attacked on front
of twenty miles from the Argonne tt

made in the face of almost insur-
nountable difficulties, due particular
ly to the nature Of the ground which
is covered with hills, deep ravines
and woods. In addition the Ameri-
cans had fronting them four organ.

Velker position and the Kreimhilde
position. They have forced their way
through all these lines. Ahead OF
them lies the Ereya position which
has been reached at one point in the
region of the Bantheville woods. The
advance has been particularly din.

already is threatened and should the
Germans lose It, they will lose their
main line OF communication from
Germany into occupied France.
In addition to the prisoners, Gen.
Pershing's men have taken more than
1877 guns Of large calibre, numerous
machine guns and anti-tank guns, a
great store of ammunition and much
war material. including locomotives
and railway cars.
Since September 26th the Ameri-
cans have fired more than 100000
shells, the number at times reaching
as hig., as 10000 daily. The guns
used included a great number OF
heavy ones, and also some captured
from the enemy.
American aviators and anti-aircraft
guns in the period since September

adverse flying conditions and bad
weather at times. Bombing airplanes
dropped more than 10000 Kilograms
of explosives on railroad centers,
troop concentrations and other points

From the view of the engineer the
most difficult task has been the re-
pairing of roads and the movement of
supplies. men, ammunition and food
to the front. More than 10000 engi-
neer troops are employed day and
night rebuilding shell-shattered roads

SELECT SEED WITH CARE
State Board Warns Farmers

Repeated warnings have been
sent out by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture telling
farmers that they should be on the
look out for poor seeds of all kinds.
While prices are so high there is
always the temptation for the I'M
scrupulous seed dealer to work off
old seed, damaged seed and i'm
pure seed. Farmers should not
only demand from the dealer a
statement of purity and vitality of
the seed but should submit Samples
to the Delaware State Board of Ag-
riculture for testing.
Farmers should also be unusual
ly particular to look after the
analysis of the fertilizer that they
buy. Only standard grades should
be purchased and these should not
be purchased by the name of the
brand but by the acutal guaran-
teed analysis of available plant
food.

WHEN ONE is STRICKEN DEAF
Affection Accompanied by Depression
Strangely and intensely Over
towering, Says Writer.

The invariable depression that comes
with the beginning of deafness is
strangely and intensely overpowering
It exists sometimes indefinitely. The
word depression, as commonly used,
admits of varied shades of meaning
writes Margaret Baldwin, in the At
lantic. 1t all but carries with it
vague impression of lack of will-poWer,
more or less voluntary Indifference to
moral effect. But let no one suppose
that it's use here indicates any mere
dull, dispirited outlook on life, or any
other voluntary mental view of ones
self or ones future. There is nothing
voluntary about it.
1t is a feeling deeply physical as we'll
as mental-a mingled condition of woe
full sickness and sadness that beggars
description. The distress and shock
over what has happened to one and
the first experience of what it is like
is the initial factor. But considering
what it ought to be as compared with
the shock of blindness, which, it seems
to me, must be sufficient to produce
permanent blacklist despair, the de-
preston of deafness is out of all pro-
portion.

SKELETONS OF STONE AGE
Bones of Early People of Japan Show
They Were Six to Seven Feet
in Height

Fifteen human skeletons were IN
earthed in the province of Kawachi,
near Osaka. This is considered the
birthplace of Japanese civilization. Of
the relics of the Japanese stone age,
discovered by Professor Okushi, nine
of the skeletons were in perfect preser-.
Yati0n, all bones being intact, East and
West News says. It rarely happens,
according to scientific records, that SO
many perfect skeletons are discovered
in one place.
Among indications that people Of
that period lived on uncoOked food is
the fact that upper and lower teeth
are evenly worn down. Decayed teeth
are not found. The bony structure of
the skeletons are massive; shin bones,
in most cases, are somewhat fiat. Some
of these skeletons stand seven feet
high; even shorter ones are over six
feet! Skeletons were found in lying
position, with knees drawn up. With
out doubt. these people belonged to
the stone age in Japan-3O0 900 years
ago, at least.
While making the excavation, stone
implements, eartheslWare and two cop
per arrOWheads were found. Two white
jade earrings were discovered which
may be Of Chinese origin, and of a
much later period. 1t is thought this
find may establish link between the
stone and bronze ages in prehistoric
Japan. ArcheolOgists hold that it
surely indicates the early people of
Japan had intercourse with other parts
of Asia. The earthenWare patterns
are not necessarily Ainu; the bones
cannot possibly be those of Anus.
This discovery revolutionizes archeo-
logical theories of prehistoric Japan.

Marriage or a Career.

A woman writer, herself married
and tWenty-three years of age, states
that q woman who expects to follow
an intellectual life should marry young
This is sound view, for the woman
who fully appraises the value of her
intellectual life realizes that the best
years Of the mind are those that come
after the age of most efficient child
bearing. 1t is very different view
from that of the young women in pro-
fessiOns which serve only to bridge the
few brief years between school days
and marriage, and for whom marriage
closes for all time participation in the
worlds work outside Of the home.
Clearly we can never have an intel
1ectual emancipation in the worlds
work on a program that would confine
professional life to the remarriage
days or make it incompatible with
marriage. The first gives too brief
period and must subordinate woman
to inferior clerical labor, while the
second would win intellectually at the
sacrifice of normal life and cOnfine
participation in the worlds affairs to
a small and abnormal group of womnn.

Total ..----------

An important matter not mention
ed in the aforesaid resolutions
but closely related to the duties of
this Council is the employment prob
lem which in this community chiefly
concerns the farmer.
Beginning with last March and up
to the first of October, the neighbor-
hood Employment Exchange, which
was established by authority of the
Post Office Department at Post Of
fees and operated in cooperation
with the U. S. Employment Service,
located on farms in this vicinity
about 100 farm laborers and also
found employment for 100 additional
farm 1abrers without the co-opea-
ton of any organization.
In order that our citizens may at
all times know the whereabouts OF
our soldiers and sailors who call this
city his home town, list showing
the names and the address of each,
has been prepared, and such a re-
cord will be kept by this Council I'M
til each man returns to his home.
The large benefit derived to the
soldier and sailor as well as to this
community, by the recording of the
names and addresses in the local
press, was demonstrated at Christ
mas tide, each soldier and sailor be-
ing the recipient of a gift at the
hands of the Red Cross, the Wo-
mems Federation of Clubs and the
Ayataia Club.
