Saturday, October IL, 1918.

This is not an important day In
planetary direction, as the sway for
good or evil is not strong. Venus,
Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter are all
adverse.
1t is a time when disillusionment
concerning love affairs Is likely to
take place. Many troubles due to
impulsiVeness or seEtimentaIity are
prognosticated.
This is not a lucky day for meet
ing strangers or for starting new
friendships. 1t is tInfavorable for en-
gagements and unlucky for weddings.
There seems TO be leading toward
much marrying and in this, as IN all
other matters. extremes will be the
rule. Great happiness or extreme dis
content will result from the wide
spread increase in the number of
weddings. Medium conditions of con-
tentment will not prevail.
This is a sway unfavorable to avia-
ton and aviators, as accidents are
supposed to be more likely to occur
under this planetary government than
ordinarily.
Bankers and merchants should be
cautious. They will have extraordi-
nary problems to solve in the next
few months.
Mines are not under a fortunate
rule today Troubles are foreshad-
owed, but the stars appear to foretell
that the workers will not be to blame.
Labor continues under a government
of the stars that is most promising,
forecasting added dignity and bonors,
larger rewards and stronger organ.-
zation.
Today strikes and even riots are in
dicated in the West, but they will not
be serious.
One of the indications shat give as
surance of the dawning of the new
era is, the seers declare. the gradual
righting of the wrongs of the op-
pressed of every race.
Persons whose birthdate It is may
have an anxious year. Illness in the
domestic circle may cause uneasiness.
Children born on this day may be
careless and extTavagant. These sub
jects of Libra usually need guidance.

Facing Death, | Long for
Recognition Of My Deed.

Ny life had about the same value
as that of blind kitten. newly born.
to the pirates who held me. They
lifted me up, but drooped helplessly.
Not for nothing had l studied how to
faint artistically the winter my class
gave the college play. Bremen was
taking his time to shape his best
course to elude the pursuing destroyer.
He paid little attention to the havoc
I had wrought except to order the
men who held me:
Tie the woman! Then back to your
postsr'
Bring her round to the north" was
his next command, this order re-
ferring to the U-boat.
A faint hope stirred me. II he kept
to the north. the boat must approach
that coast of hundred harbors, above
one of which the mansion of mystery
perched! But much hope. now, would
any harbor hold for me!
At last Bremen surveyed the u
boats human freight Through the
mop Of hair which had fallen over my
face. I took account of the situation
with him.
One bullet had carved a diagonal
line across the brow OF that counter
felt crown prince. He was leaning
cCnfusedly against the steel shell of
the craft. Alone. he could not stanch
the red trickle which blinded him.
An officer. perhaps a surgeon, helped
him to his bunk room.
The fallen torpedo lieutenant was
picked up by two comrades. As they
followed the surgeon and captain, one
Of the bearers called to Bremen:
"He's alive. sir!"
And Immediately the shadow OF a
grave anxiety seemed lifted from that
crew. The muscles of the mems Jaws
relaxed.
"Superstitious!" thought. "They
are afraid to be shut up with a
corpse in the depths of the ocean.
That's why 1 wasn't killed at once!

Evidently. was reprieved until they
should successfully evade that venge-
full destroyer.
But could we escape her? I had
enough faith in the American navy to
doubt it
Bremen caused the periscope to be
lowered for minutes, then raised for
a second. trusting the morning fog TO
conceal it from the destroyer's keen
watch.
We could not hide in the depths
because one of my bullets had smash
ed that queer tube with the bubble
floating in it. I was glad that I had
missed Bremen. II ever We were to
ride on top of the waves again. it
would be through his ability.
An odd reason for living awoke IN
me. I wanted to tell Bob how I had
saved a L. S. transport! I wanted
my husband to be proud of me,
"Silly-silly-" 1 admonished myself.
What does your petty personal need
for praise matter in a world at war;
Nothing. of course, but from my
own need ! realized that every SOL
dier who goes west wants some
woman to know that he went bravely
on to the last remembering her-and
wanting her to know that he was
brave.

NO OCCASION FOR rANIC.

Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearance
/ of grip or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous spiden'os
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 Ger ury Eas
had its attacks Beginning with 1881.
this country has had five epidemics,
the last in 1880.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
huenza itself has a very low percen-
tage Of fatalities-not over one death
out Of every four hundred cases, ac-
cording to the n. c. Board Of Health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising. attacking principally patients
in a rundown cOndition-t hose who
don't go to bed soon enough, or those
who get up too early.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill. fol-
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from 100
to lO4. 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 hron-
chial tubes-there is usually a hard
cough, especially bad at night. often
times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and
frequently all the appearances Of a
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
.ss.V.z
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to others
take a purgative, eat plenty Of nour-
ishing food. remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Quinine. aspirin or Do
ver's Powder, etc, may be admins
tered by the physicians directions to
relieve the aching. But there is no
cure or specific for inhuenZa-the dis
ease must run its course. but Nature
will throw off the attack If only you
keep up your strength. The chief dan
ger lies in the complications which
may arise. Influenza so weakens the
bodily resistance that there is danger
of pneumonia or bronchitis develop
| ing, and sometimes Inflammation Of
the middle ear, or heart affections.
| For these reasons, it 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 il you are over 50 or
not strong stay in bed four days or
more. according 10 the severity Of the
attack.

III LOST WITH

Struggling Survivors Ap-
peal in Vain to Heartless
Germans.

Ten officers and men are survivors.
two officers having been taken pris-
oners and III officers and men are
reported missing from the crew of
the steamship Ticonderoga, which was
shelled and sunk by a U-boat on
the way to France. about 1,7o0 miles
from the United States coast, Sep
tember 30. according to announce
ment today by the Navy Depart
ment.
The statement by the Navy Depart
ment does not give the total Of the
crew. but accounts for a total Of
l29 officers and men. The ship was
the former German vessel, Camilla
Rickmers. The unoficial accounts
say that she got separated from the
rest of the convoy. fell behind be-
cause Of engine trouble, and became
prey to the lurking U-boat.
The press accounts of the manner
in which the Nfeboats Of the ship
were shelled at close range, in
which many were doubtless killed,
and the brutality of the commander
of the submarine to a survivor who

1t has been some time since a Ger
man submarine has had an oppor-
tunity to display the worst features
Of the ruthless style OF U-boat war
fare which brought about the dec
laration of war on Germany.
A similar case took place nearly
two years ago in the Mediterranean
when the sship Ancona was fired at
by an Austrian submarine and the
lifeboats in which there were men
| and women were mercilessly shelled.
For this act Austria was promptly
denounced by the State Department
and the diplomatic exchanges result
