Only Cure.
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
No Occasion for Panic

Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearance
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 epidemics, the
last in 1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-
f1uenza itself has a very low percent
age of fatalities-not over one death
out of every four hundred cases, ac-
cording to the n. C. Board of Health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising, attacking principally patients
in a run down 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 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
mucous membrane, or lining OF the
ar pdSSaSeS-HOSe, throat ana brOn-
chial tubes-there is usually a hard
cough, especially bad at night often
times a sore throat or tonsi1itis, 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
a purgative eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's
Powder, ETC., may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cif1c for infuenza-the disease must
run its 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 weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger of
pneumonia or bronchitis developing,
and sometimes Inflammation Of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons, 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,

GERMANS WERE HOLDING BALL
WHEN FRENCH TOOK COURTRARl

With the allied armies in Belgium,
Oct. 20.-German officers in Courtrari
were giving a ball on the night Of
Thursday, celebrating 'the return Of
peace when the French entered the
town and the Germans had to run for
their lives.
Letters and diaries taken from cap
tured soldiers make interesting read
ing. One man tells how his division,
"got it in the neck" Another wrote
there was the devil to pay" and adds
that only sixty men were left out OF
one entire regiment Not a single cap
tured order, document, letter or diary
displays a single note of optimism.
In the neighborhood of Turcoing and
Roubaix, more than 100000 civilians
have been liberated.

NOT GUILTY SAY
JURY IN EZELL
MURDER CASE

The larger part of the session of
the District Court was occupied by
the trial of the Ezell murder case.
The former hearing Of this case re-
suited in a mistrial and the defend.
ant was allowed bond. The facts
are familiar to the public. But
while the case was bitterly fought at
the first trial, the intimation that
new evidence would be introduced
and that additional council for the
prosecution would be employed
brought new interest in the case
and the courtroom was crowded and
overfowed into the hallway. Quite
number of ladies attended and the
picking of the jury exhausted the
regular venire and an extra panel OF
thirty jurors. The Jennie Doyle tes-
timony was one of the principa.
points of attack by the defense, as
in the first trial. the question being
as to whether Birch was shot inside
the room or out on the steps, and
the jury was taken to the scene OF
the murder, as in the first trial.
Physicians were examined Glossy a.
to whether such a wound as was re-
ceived by the murdered man would
cause an external flow of blood or
Withhold it in the cavity around the
lungs, as little blood was found in
the room or on the steps, short dis
tance from where the hody lay. 4
, verdict of not guilty was brought in
within fifteen minutes.

gan for the defense and Amos l..

star features of the trial. and while
these lawyers were speaking the
| crowd blocked the hallway.
| Attorney F. ]. Heintz presented
very forceful argument and one thai
was evidently very effective with the
jury. It was one of his best efforts
and caused general and favorable
comment.
The prosecution was represented
| by District Attorney J. Vol Brock
Amos L. Ponder and Judge T. M
Burns; the Defense by Lewis L. Nor
gan and F. ]. Heintz.
At the close of the trial, Mr.. E. G

VISITS BAKERS
INaCOVINGTON

Parish Food Administrator J. l..
Haller, and H. A. Mackie, commits
sioner for Covington, made the
rounds of the bakeries, Monday.
The object was to ascertain how far
the bakers were carrying out orders
regarding the 20 per cent substi-
tutes in the making Of bread. All
the bakers of Covington have been
observing this rule and are mostly
using 20 per cent Of corn flour with
the wheat flour. Other substitutes
have been tried, but this seems to
work up better and make better
bread than most substitutes.
Commissioner Haller has made the
following appointments in the par
ish of food commissioners for the
wards and towns named, and they
will see that the various orders OF
State Commissioner Parker are car
ried out:
Ward 1-P. A. Blanchard.
Ward 2-Hynes Fendlason.
