in many different sections of the
State, in some instances to such an
extent that all possible restrictive
measures had to be resorted to again.
The general celebration held in prac-
tically every community of the State

were still in force.

tion is one that lies in the hands of
the individual for solution. Influ-
enza is a crowd disease. It is spread
by "spit swapping" through the means
of the unmuzzled cough and sneeze,
or the use of drinking cups, eating
utensils, or towels that have been used
by an infected person. The preven-
tion of the disease depends upon each
individual avoiding crowds where in
fection is so easy, and refusing to
use the things that some one else has
used. Because of the nature of the
disease quarantine measures are not
considered practicable. The respon-
sibility for preventing the spread of
the disease rests upon the individual
directly.

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS


At the cost OF small jar OF ordl-
nary cold cream one can prepare full
quarter pint of the most wonderful
lemon skin softener and complexion
beautifier, by squeezing the juice Of
two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through fine cloth so no LEM
on pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and
is the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try t! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms, and
hands. 1t should naturally help to
whiten, soften, freshen and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. 1t
is truly marvellous to smoother rough,
red hands.

25 Days On a German U-Boat,

Lieut.. Julius H. Fulcher of Frisco,
N. c., who, with Lieut.. Frank L. Null
ler of Oakland, Cal, was taken on
board the German submarine Deutsch-
land from the torpedoed American
army cargo ship Ticonderoga Sept. 80
and was taken to Harwich, England,
Sunday by the U-boat, escaped on a
raft and was picked up by the
U-boat when the Ticonderoga went
down. He said he had to sleep with
no less than 35 German sailors who
lived in the forepeak dungeon, that
the first bath he had was when a
rain squall hit the submarine while
he was on deck, and that, though the
Germans treated him very we'll, he
thinks that if man can stand Is days
Imprisonment on a German U-boat he
can stand anything.

is no real difference between 'func-

Every organic disease is functional,
of course, and II the disease cannot
be recognized definitely at the begin

INFLUENZA DEATH TOLL
IN STATE APPALLING

During Month of October More Than
Five Thousand Deaths Occurred in
the State From Influenza and In
fluenza-PneumOnia.
State Board of Health Bulletin.
During the month of October the
epidemic of influenza levied a death
toll in North Carolina in excess of
even the highest estimates that were
made while the epidemic was at it's
height. More than five thousand peo-
pie in the State during October died
from either influenza or Influenza
pneumonia. The exact figures can
not be given yet because Of the in
completeness of reports from some of
the counties.
A tabulatoin Of the reports to the
Bureau of Vital Statistics of the
State Board of Health shows the total
number Of deaths reported as result
ing directly from the epidemic to be
4,805. 1t is known, however, that
several counties have not reported in
full, and that reports for October yet
to be made will run the total above
the five thousand mark. Included in
the incomplete reports are the city
of Raleigh; Camp Polk, near Raleigh;
Camp Greene, near Charlotte; Camp
Bragg, near Fayetteville. In many
cases physicians and undertakers were
so rushed with the care of the sick
and the dead that death certificates
were not made out promptly. These
will come in to the Bureau of Vital
Statistics along with the reports for
the month of November, so that COM
plete statistics for October will not
be available until about the middle
Of December.
CASTOR and Forsyth counties, ac-
cc~dins to the figures at hand, SUI
fered the heaviest losses, each hav-
ing total of 210 deaths. Wake was
a close second, with a total of 203,
with New Hanover third, it's total
being 164. Only one county in the
State, Allegheny, reported no deaths
from the epidemic during October.
Two counties, Alexander and Clay
each reported one death. Among the
other counties of the State the deaths
are very evenly distributed according
to population, showing that the en-
tire State was affected by the cpl
demic, all sections suffering alike in
the death toll levied.
The crest of the epidemic was ap-
parently reached during the fourth
weeg Of October, reports Of cases
and deaths both showing a decided
falling off during the last few days Of
that month and the beginning of No.
vember. AS a result the restrictive
1leasdres which were taken by near
ly every community in the State tt
prevent the spread Of the disease be
gan to be repealed during the secont
week of the presnt month. New out
breaks of the epidemic have resulted

First Soldiers From Overseas Ex-

First units of American expedition
ary forces to return from overseas are
expected to arrive in New York about
the end of the present week.

nounced Monday night that 332 officers
and 6,614 men Of the air service and
other detachments training in England
now are homeward bound on 3 British
liners. Two ships left Liverpool last
Friday and another sailed Saturday.
This announcement means that the
movement of the American troops now
in England, the majority of whom are
in air service detachments, will con-
tinue steadily until all of them, some
10000, have returned. There are no
regiments of other units Of line troops
