Something Like a Gun.

British soldier met an American
soldier in the Strand and a conversa-
ton ensued, during which the absorb
ing topic of the day cropped up.
what do you think Of Fritz's big
gun that's Smelling Paris?" asked the
BritOn.
"Oh, not much" said the American.
"But, come" sand the Briton, its
a pretty tidy gun that can put shell
over 20 miles,"
"Oh, that's nothing" retorted the
American. 'Jest you wait bit. We're
making a gun in Chicago that can put
it in the shade. The first time we
fire it the gun crew are getting a fort

On one expedition that went to
France there were $4,000 soldiers. 1t
took quite a large fleet and an i'm
mense convoy. Those troops were EN-
barked, taken care Of en- route, pro-
tected by the navy and landed in
France without an accident. That is
a record of achievement which viii
probably attract attention when The
war is over. When it is considered
that the United States has landed
nearly 100000 men in France and
that there has been such a slight loss
on the way over it really points to
very effective work on the part OF the
navy of the United States.
Troop ships are commanded by navy
officers, the supply ships are handled
by navy officers. Naval vessels are
conveys and naval seamen man all the
ships.
If there could be any publicity about
the departure of troops or if facts
such as here related could be enlarged
upon and details given, the country
would be thrilled with the achieve
ments of the United States navy and
some of the men who are responsible
for this good work would be booked
for some of the medals and decora-
lions which are being rather lavishly
bestowed upon officers with the actual
fighting forces in France. Here is one
example. Take a troop ship carrying
5000 men. In case Of accident, such
as torpedo from a German subma-
rine, those 5000 men could be put into
the boats in six minutes. That must
be considered very effective drill work.

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
PapoRub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
SHOULDER blades to open the pores.
Ahen vapoRub should be rubbed in
over the parts until the skin is red,
spreaU 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 irri-
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 Vapo-
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 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 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 ap-
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form Of va
pors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
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. 1t is particular
ly recommended for chilcren's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

Hospital Discipline.

The discipline in base hospitals pre-
cludes social relations between nurses
and enlisted men. A certain nurse
was found ringing the doorbell of the
officers quarters early one morning.
When asked what she wanted, she re-
piled that the villa in which she and
the other nurses were quartered was
on fire. After the fire had been extin-
guished, she was asked why she didn't
give the alarm at once, instead of rum
ming the long distance to the officers
quarters. Her reply was: 1--WE aren't

NOT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF

WHEN WELL MEANT.
BIG FIGHT STILL TO COME
One Lesson We Are Learning From
the War Is to Be Less WastefuI-
Fugitive Discussions of the Next
Presidential Campaign.
BY ARTHUR DUNN.

Washington.-PossibIy the people
who discuss and publish articles
about the early ending of the war do
moi know that they are assisting in a
sort of German propaganda. To talk
about ending the war now or seeing
the end Immediately is not to the
lest interests of the government. Very
likely earnest people who want the
Germans well trounced are among
those who talk an early ending of the
war. Possibly they are nor pacifists,
but over-enthusiastic Americans who
think that the successes that have been
won on the western front and the col
lapse of Bulgaria means an early ca
piluati0n Of the Germans. Such per-
sons should take a reef In their i'm
agination.
Let us look back to Civil war days.
Grant captured Vicksburg in july
1868. which opened the Mississippi
and cut the Confederacy in half.
Meade defeated Lee at Gettysburg at
the same time, but it was April, 1865,
before the war ended. Between the
victories Of Vicksburg and Gettysburg
and the final end there were the great
battles of Chickamauga and Nashville,
ana Sherman's march to the sea, also
the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold
Harbor, Sheridan's Shenandoah cam
paign and the siege Of Petersburg.
Those who read the story Of those
days, or hear the people talk who
participated in the events. know that
II was assumed that the Union cause
would succeed after Vicksburg and
Gettysburg, but it took nearly two
years longer to accomplish the final de-
feat of the Confederacy.
1t must be remembered that Ger
many occupies nearly all of Belgium
and q large slice of France, and that
II will require some very severe bat
ties before the Huns are beaten as
they should be in order to make sue
cess of this war.

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 a chill, followed by
aching, feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a general
feehng 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
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 tonsillitis, and frequently
oil the appearances OF q 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
q 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 its course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack if only you keep
un your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger of pneu-
Eonia 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.
