REPORT OF COMMITTEE.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
To the Generous Public:
The draftees'. committee desires to
express it's appreciation of the loyalty
and liberality shown in the donations
for the draftees' reception at Union
Hall last Wednesday evening.
These men are to represent us on
the battlefields overseas and give us
a greater claim for our rights as
American citizens. Although their
services have been acquired by con-
scription we can proudly say, that this
would not have been necessary had
there been a general call for volun-
teers regardless of color.
We are pleased to report total
collection of $3.50 and expenditures
amounting to $500 leaving a balance
of $21.30 on hand as a nucleus for a
draftees' reception fund, to which
other money collected will be added
for future entertainments for draftees.

Hammond Turner, Treasurer.

Returned Soldiers to
Be Kept in Service
Until Recovery Comes

Returned soldiers will be retained
in the military service until recovery
is as complete as possible, says a De-
partment of Labor bulletin. The
men will be grouped in three classes
those who can return to full mill
tary duty. those who can serve at
home in military or civil life. and
those who are no longer capable OF
military service. All three classes
will be treated according to the
most advanced methods, which will
include various forms of therapy
and gymnastic and mental occupa-
ton, in order that they may be
physically restored to a healthy and
happy frame of mind.
Most men will be able to return
to full military duty. For men in
the second class many occupations
are possible; they may take up agri-
culture, printing, woodworking OF
photography. or prepare themselves
for the civil service, teaching OF
work as statisticians. A great mum
ber of trades and occupations are in
cluded in the list, and additions are
constantly being made.
Men in the third group, so much
disabled that they can no longer be
given even limited military service
may receive the special additional
training offered by the Fedora
Board of Gocational Education. EN-.
ployers in private industries cannot
employ. except with the approval OF
the Army and Navy authorities, mer

and education service. Department

OF returned soldiers.

Upstairs Elizabeth Wade washed
her hands and face quickly. and, re-
moving her soiled dress, slipped hur-
riedly into a fresh one.
She was still fearfufly nervous and
wanted to get hack downstairs.
She did not even pause to comb her
hair, but smoothing the rough por-
tlons with her brush she pinned up
the loosened strands.
AS she did so she heard more plain
~ than before the mems voices raised
in alteration. The sound frightened
her, and she FASTENED to put the nm
lshing touches to her toilet.
In the kitchen Mrs. Chaplin trotted
back and forth from table to range,
making coffee and heating the mullins
that were to form part of the even
ing meal.
She in her turn was worried and
nervous. She had not had a pleas
ant afternoon with her husband, and
her thoughts were busy with what
he had said to her.
In the first place, he had told her
of his having discharged SLIov Ia

meadow back of the barn. his head

that time Amos was resting in the
livingroom, and she did not tell him
that the discharged farmland had re-

Instead she had waited until her
husband fell asleep. Then she had
crept out upon a tour of investiga-
ton. She was not afraid of the Pole.
She had always been kind i, to him,
and he had never been uncivfl to her.
Moreover. she felt quite able to pro-
tect herself.
Going into the dusky recesses of the

Ignorance of Law Brings
Rebuke to a Colonel

r "A few nights ago I witnessed 4
rather exciting episode in one of the
leading New York hotels" said
John F. Gilmore, of Manhattan, in
the Washington Post. "A young
man in the uniform of a lieutenant
in the Army. it seems. had exhibited
to a friend a paper showing that the
lieutenant had been honorably dis
charged from the military service
only a few days previous. An older
man in uniform, wearing the in
sigma showing him of higher rank,
was standing near and Immediately
took a part in the proceedings He
at once began to berate the young
men, saying the other. as a dis
charged soldier. had no right what
ever to be wearing uniform; tina;
it was gross presumption upon the
part of any one who had received
discharge, whether honorable or
not, and demanded the wearer to go
at once and array himself in civilian
clothing on the pain of being re-
ported and arrested.
THE young man, who was a fine
looking specimen of manhood, an
swered with great courtesy and
calmness, but insisted that he was
breaking no law or Army regulation
in keeping on his uniform for a lin
tied period after his discharge. His
senior got angry and excited and
looked as though he were prepared
to make a formal arrest. At this
juncture an elderly civilian, finely
dressed gentleman. who looked as
though he might be a Supreme Court
judge, took a hand in the contro-
versy, speaking with great dignity
and effect. The young officer he
said, is quite within his rights. BY
act of Congress he is entitled to

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NJ OISAS1ON EOH 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 epi-
demic in 4l2 b. c. which is regarded
by many TO have been influenza.
Every century has had its attacks.
Beginning with 1881, this country
has had five epidemics, the last in
1sS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic
influenza itself has very low per-
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out of every four hundred
cases, according to the y. c. Board
of Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking prin-
cipally, patients in run down con-
dition-those 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
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 mucuous men,
brane, or lining of the air passages
nose, throat and bronchial tubes
there is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night. often times
a sore throat or tonsilitis, and fire.
quently all the appearances of a
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 a purgative. eat plenty
of nourshing food, remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry. Quinine,
asprin or Dover's Powder, etc, may
be administered by the physicians
directions to relieve the aching.
But there is no cure or specific for
infiunza-.he disease must run its
course. Nature will throw off 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 dan
ger of pneumonia or bronchitis de-
yeiopfng, and sometimes infiamma-
ton of. the middle ear. or heart
affections. For these reasons. II 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 so or
not strong. stay in bed four days
or more, according to the severity OF
the attack.

makes her enjoy herself.
| Never under any circumstances
suggest to your daughter how timid

Appear at all times to be very

for their reception. Talk about the
good time YOU will have with them
beforehand. When the visitor
comes, have your daughter bring in

therefore is essential for you to be

Some mothers make the mistake

most significant points In Germany s

absolutely new phrase, and the omis-
sion of the word Imperial is -un-
precedented. Whether that means
catering to. President Wilson's views
or whether it means change in Ger
