DON'T BE TOO HASTY.

Reports indicate that, except in
some isolated sections of the state. the
Spanish influenza situation is we'll
under control and that the epidemic
has reached its crest. However, there
are enough cases scattered here ana
there in every community to make a
warning. belated though it may be,
timely.
There is no Doubt that the epidemic
coming on suddenly as it did and the
people not understanding the serious
results which might follow an attack
of the disease, was treated rather
lightly in most instances Many in
stances have been cited where persons
who had been afflicted with Influenza
and recovered. as they thought, went
about their business too soon, suffered
relapse, developed pneumonia and
died.
Recently a noted eastern physician
issued statement in which he said:
1.-THE individual who is no longer sllf-
fering from fever or symptoms OF
acute disease should still regard him
self as requiring medical attention.
Unfortunately II is the history OF
an epidemic of this sort that various
diseases OF the nervous system. the
throat, the ear and the nose usually
follow The nervous complications
have been quite serious in some cpl
denies. In other instances there have
been diseases Of the throat, eac and
nose" -
1t is also claimed, and quite , a
turally, too, that tuberculosis is quite
likely to result after an attack OF in,
fluenza, if the patient has not fully
/ recovered before assuming his usua
activities. This is particularly true
with those who have suffered from
pneumonia following influenza.
There is no cause to be alarmed
over bad after effects from an attack
of Spanish flu but on the other hand
the disease should not be treated
| lightly. Use some common sense
Take care of yourself while the disease
is running its course and, above al
things, don't be TOO ANXIOUS to leave
the house

On the British Front. Nov S.-Va.
Tenderness has had its first freedom
since August, 1914, when the Ger
mans swept the British "old contemp-
Itibles" back in the mad race for Paris.
The famous town passed to the Ca
nadians after house to house fighting
and fierce bayonet encounters in the
main thoroughfares, while the tremb-
ling civilians peered through their
windows at the death struggles which
meant the rctrieval of their stricken
home
When | went into Valenciennes evil
dences still remained of the fighting
but flags proudly floated from the
war Scared houses, showing the peo7
pie We're in good heart. The centre
of the town was practically intact
but the outskirts were torn and bait
tered, and the German dead lay in
some OF the streets.
l saw children standing unconcern-
eddy on a sidewalk, a few feet from
where a dead German lay, near the
ridge belt. One was little girl, with
deep marks under her eyes. Indeed,
most of the townspeople are hollow
eyed, after the narrowing experiences
of the last few days.
Shipping was still in progress be-
yond the town, varied by occasional
outbursts of machine gun fire and of
artillery. Like the adults, the chill
dren gave little heed to such firing,
being absorbed in their glad recep-
ton of the newcomers Further down
the street lay a dead German, shot
| through the head, his feet within a
| doorway and his body sprawling out
to the sidewalk.
| No Church Bells Heard.
It was the first Sunday Valencien-
mes had enjoyed as a reclaimed
French town. but there was no ring
| ing of church bells. In one church
on the outskirts there will be no ring
ing, for the tower is gaping with
shell wounds and the facade is almost
! demolished.
Property damage was not extensive
| further within the town, but the war
faces of 5000 anaemic children and
of older people who remained behind
indicate the privations and suffering
to which they were subjected. The
Germans had sent 10000 civilians tt
! Mons Brussels and intervening places
within the last ten days.

with wars continued heavier demands.
In coal deliveries the fuel program
has been exceeded through loyal CO.
operation of the public, the mine oper-
ators and workers, the transportation,
and other agencies Of the government
American consumers now have in
their bins more domestic coal than at
any other corresponding period in the
nations history.
Cross hauling of coal has been elimi-
mated and distribution greatly facili-
tated through the zone system of dis
tribution established to supply the
people with coal from mines nearest
them.
There is an average supply of coal
in stock sufficient for eight weeks for
the country at large. Points farthest
from the mines have been supplied in
largest quantities. Upper Great Lakes
districts, where winter efs deeply
into transportation, has received the
greatest proportionate supply
Fewer mine workers than ever be-
fore have produced nearly 3S,OOo,OOO
tons more of coal in the first six
months OF the coal year than were
produced in the corresponding period
last year,
Present coal stocks would have been
seriously reduced had the less essen
tial industries been permitted to OPP
crate without curtailment
The oil and natural gas situation
will probably be somewhat acute be-
cause of the steadily increasing do
mestic and overseas demand for all
The oil problem, however, is largely
one of transportation.
Present coke supplies are slightly
less than the maximum demand OF
blast furnaces and war industries
Administrator Garfield pays warm
tribtue to the democratic spirit in
which Americans generally have met
the requests for conservation.
THE highest testimony to democ.
racy," Mr.. Garfield said, has beer
furnished by the way in which the
people of the United States have met
the request of the food and fuel ad-
ministrations, even when those re-
quests have meant personal sacrifices
and Inconvenience.
I'VE are ready for an unusually
severe winter, but we are still and
shall continue to be dependent upor
the cooperation of the people in con-
serving fuel and upon the several
agencies concerned in the production
and transportation of fuel to carry our
program through to the end of the
year. 1t may be inferred that veXing
economics are no longer necessary
But that is far from true. We have
been able to stock up because we have
saved as we'll as because we have pro-
duced moro coal than at any other
time The fuel administration has
made an estimated saving of 12,700,-
600 tons Of coal for the first half OF
tho coal year The saving is increasing
each month, and there will be much
greater saving during the next si1
months. During the entire year we
expect TO be able to report saving OF
50,0OO,000 tons"

MINES PATRIoTICALLY DO DUTY

Many mines are striving to get out
q creditable production of precious
metals absolutely necessary to the
success of the war: although it is
gene rally understood that there is
little money in mining now, in con-
parison with profits in 1915 and 1917.
Scarcity of labor and high wages;
scracity of machinery, powder and
other necessaries. and the uniquely
high prices for everything have made
for depriving many of the operating
mining companies of their normal
profits. This is seen in an indicated
reduction this year in dividends.
