THE INFLUENZA SITUATION.
Physicians and Nurses Making Hero
ic Efforts to Control Disease.

The influenza epidemic is not alarm
ing, but there has been little de-
crease in the number of cases in the
last few days. So far there have been
no deaths and the physicians and
trained nurses are working night
and day to hold the disease in check.
Trained nurses are carried from
house to house in automobiles and
close watch is being kept on the more
serious cases. The SCHOOLS have been
closed and public gatherings are pro-
hibited. A good feature of the dis
ease or any epidemic has good fea-
tures) is that it does not last very
long. The patient is out after about
70 hours confinement, except in ex-
treme cases where they are kept in
doors d day or two longer. The most
dangerous feature of the disease is
the likelihood of pneumonia, but this
can be avoided if good cure is taken
OF the patient. The only deaths
reported throughout the country SO
far are due to pneumonia which fol-
lowed the disease. The physicians rec
onmend weak solution o. So da and
water as preventative. The soiu-
ton can be gargled in the throat,
but better results can be obtained if
an atomizer is used in spraying the
throat and nose. The first symptor. :

From John ID. ALLEN to His Mother
Mrs. ID. s. Allen.

Dear Mother:-Well, I have arriv-
ed at last in France and the long
Journey is over. 1t has been a tire
some trip, though a pleasant one in
a way. If the censorship rules did
not limit what I am allowed to say
l think l could write for a week and
still have something to tell. But if
you have received the letter wrote
on shipboard then you know how
limited we are. The trip was perfect
ly safe and uneventful as far as subs
are concerned. Anyway l never saw
any. l wasn't very sorry either. AT
present l am at a base port in France.
The country is very beautiful and the
climate reminds me great deal of
home. But the people interest me
more. France deserves all of the cred
that has been given her, and more,
How a country as small as this has
stood four years of war against such
overwhelming odds is beyond me.
And they still smile. On the faces of
some Of those who have lost relatives
/ have seen an expression Of patient
recognition that thrills me with pity
and admiration. They are very brave
people, and they can't be whipped 1
think they were a little doubtful of
our fighting ability before the first
American victory but now they know
that to make noise is not all an Amer
lean can do.
suppose you have received the
card announcing my safe arrival and
also the other letter. My proper ad-
dress is on the envelope OF this letter,
so If there was any doubt write to me
at once. And please send ME several
late copies of The Herald. AS soon
as l find out will give you direction
for mailing my sweater and other
ARTICLES that 1 may need. l forgot to
melton that l don't know Davids ad-
dress or he mine. Please give IT to me
in your reply. shall write again very
soon but must close now

cloaks. coat suits, wooden dresses,
caps. hats, shoes, underwear, mems
coats and piece goods of warm me-
terials to make garments.
The auxiliaries at Hamer, Floy-
dale and Minturn contributed gener-
ously and several Of the Dry Goods
merchants in town gave substantial
contributions.
The committee making TIE house to
house canvas was Mrs. A. ]. Evans
and Mrs. p. B. Sellers and Misses
Misses We've Higgins, Francis Fass
and Lillian Powell canvassed down
town among the merchants
1t should be considered a privilege
to have such an opportunity to help
these brave people of Belgium, ten
million of whom are dependent upon
the people of our country for food
and clothing this winter.
The surgical dressings work has
been progressing nicely this week and
the first allotment of 1850 gauze

TRAIN CRASHES INTO WARE
HOUSE.
Shifting Engine Drives Two Box Cars
Through Freight Warehouse.

There was railroad accident out
of the ordinary Sunday night when
two box cars We're driven far into
the southern end of the Atlantic
Coast Line warehouse 1t is not known
how the accident occurred, but the
strange sight of box cars driven far
up into the warehouse caused many
down town pedestrians to stop and
wonder Monday morning. An engine
was kicking box cars into a siding,
1t is claimed and string of heavy
coal cars torn away the abutments
on spur track. The end OF the ware
house was just beyond the abutment
and the forward cars crashed into
the building with terrific force. The
outer wall of the warehouse caught
the car right in the middle and spit
it in half, one half going inside and
the other half goins outside Of the
building. The wrecking crew came up
from Florence early Monday morning
and removed the wreckage
