ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
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 412
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 1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panfc-inf1u-
enza itself has very low percentage
of fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
n. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in a rundown
condition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it 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 1O4,
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 tcnsillitis, and frequently
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
purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc., may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for influenZa-the disease must
run it's course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack If only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so veakens 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 rea-
sons 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
If YOU are over SO or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity Of the attack.

SPANISH INFLUENZA WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1SS9-90, Only Then It Came
From Russia by Way of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loOsening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should be applied 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 cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberates the in
gradients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, 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
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty OF
exercise in the open air, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irrt-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick'S VapoRub at the very first
sign Of a cold. For head cold, melt
little VapORub in a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vap0-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter, 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 dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form, MenthOl and CamphOr with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu-
bebs, ETC., so that when the salve is APP
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pOrs.
VapoRub is comparatively new i'm
New York State and New England and
a few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other Sec
tons of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than a million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
Over six million Jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. It is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

Germans Drive Civilians Into Terri
tory Under Shell Fire.
Washington, Oct. 25-While Presi-
dent Wilson considered his reply to
the Teuton peace moves, additional
proof of German atrocities in territory
being evacuated by the kaisers troops
reached here.
One of these was a tale of horror
dispatched from the British front tell
ing how the Germans drove civilians
into territory under Allied shell fire,
many being killed and MANNED.
This and other outrages reported are
regarded here as giving the lie to the
latest German cry that such crimes
were not being committed by their
soldiers and that orders had gone out
to prevent them and punish those
guilty.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 25.-Nothing
but the unconditional surrender of
Germany ought to be considered, the
United Mine Workers of America said
in a telegram to President Wilson,
made public here. The message was
signed by William Green, secretary
and treasurer of the organization.
The message said that the Germany
now denying guilt of cruelty and wan
ton destruction is the same Germany
which destroyed hospital ships, and, in
bombing raids on London and Paris,
killed innocent women and children.

The adornment of the neck is one of
the fashionable phases of the moment.
There is quite a vogue for the fiat bead
necklaces made by the wounded sol
diers. Probably good deal of senti-
ment is connected with the wearing of
them, but they have a distinctly deco
rative value, too, and make vivid
splashes of color on our dark gowns.
We are beginning to realize the impor-
lance of neck adornments-their scope
and their limitations-in the domain of
dress. Smartness may be achieved or
alienated by the little finishing touch
at the throat. There is nothing, after
ALL more becoming than the time
honored string of pearls, which, hack
neyed though 1t is, hardly ever seems
to look amiss and seems suitable at
practically any age. Only in the hey
day of youth are brilliantly colored
beads appropriate. After forty they
should be absolutely taboo, supplanted
by the soft fold of cream or flesh col
ored tulle, or, better STILL the black
velvet band with diamond clasp. Jade
is, of course, the most popular of all
stones and colors for necklaces a. pres
ent. though corals moonstones set in
silver and opals intermingled with
crystal run them close and are some
what less expensive.

Peter Anderson, a farmer of the
township of England, in Polk county,

which, even when loaded to normal ca
pacity, only carries about one-third of
his family. Another seven-passenger
car and four-seater are needed by
him if no one is TO be left at home.
Anderson is the father of 16 living
children. The youngest, a daughter,
arrived last week and has been christ
ened Marie. There have been IS chill
dren in all, but two are dead. The old
est, son, was twenty-one on June 30
last. There are no twins or triplets
in the family. The mother was forty
four years old on January %, 1913.
The father is forty-eight years old.
Anderson has 237 acres of land,

Popularity of Outfits for Children A.
ford New Departure for Grown
Ups-Requircs Careful Work.

Whole costumes of knitted material
have been popular for small children,
but 1t is new departure to offer them
for grown-ups. One has a rather short
sweater top, ribbed to fit snug around
the waist and going over the head.
The rolled collar, of white. ties with a
knitted cord ending in knitted balls of
green. The skirt has bands of green
on a white worsted foundation. OF
course. such a skirt must be narrow.
1t would be horror of sagging lines
after a few times of wearing If it were
full But 1t must be a nice problem in
knitting to adjust it to the figure so
that it shall not curve in in all the
wrong places.
Our skirts are again scanty and
straight, but so far they disguise rath-
er than reveal the lines of the figure.
When narrow skirts We're in before,
careless cutting and inexpert draping
often had results which were unfor-
tunate. to say the least. A skirt of
knitted wool might easily repeat these
indiscretions; so unless a woman has
graduated in the mysteries of knitting
and purling she had better not try to
solve one for herself.
