Kidney disease is no respecter of persons. It attacks all classes, regard less of age. sex or conditions. A ma 5ority of the ills affiieting people to- day can be traced back to the kidney trouble.
 The kidneys are the most important organs of the body. They are the fil- terers, the purifiers. of your blood If the poisons which are swept from the tissues by the blood are not eliminated through the kidneys, disease of one form or another win claim you as a victim.
 Kidney disease is usually indicated by weariness, sleeplessness, nervous ness. despondency. baekache, stomach trouble, difficulty when urinating, pain in loins and lower abdomen. gall and luHbage.

 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS : In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's NapoRub will be found ef- fective. Hot. wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then YapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and GOV cred with two thieknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body iberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, in medication directly to the parts af fected. 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 cough ing, 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. ] KEEP FREE FROM COLDS. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds uritate the lining of the air passa ges and render them much l better breeding places for the germs. i Use Viclz's VapoRub at the very first ] sign of cold. Fiof a head cold melt l little in a spoon and fnhaie the va DOTS, or better still, use VGpoRub in l benzoin steam kettle. If this is not 1 available, use an ordinary tea kettle. 1 Eff half full of boiling water, put in l half a teaspoonful of VapoRuo from time to tlme-keep the kettle just slowly boiling, and ilhale the steam 1 arising.
 NOTE: vfck's vapoRub is the dis covery of North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine in salve form Menthol and Canphor with such essential oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, 1 Cubebs, etc. so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these in ingredients are liberated in the form
 of vapors.
 VapeRub is comparatively new in New York, New England and few
 western states, where it is just now
 being introduced. In other sections
 of the country, however, it. is the standard home remedy in over a mil lion homes for all forms of cold
 troubles-more than six million jars
 were sold last year.
 It is particularly recommended for
 children's croup or colds. since it is
 externally applied and, therefore. can l be used as freely as desired without I the slightest harmful effects. Vapo-
 Rub can be had in three sizes-Soc, soc, $1.20, at all druggists.

CALL A PHYSICIAN-GO TO BED-STAY QUIET
 DON'T WORRY

There is no Occasion for Panie-In.
 fIuenza itself Has a Very Low Per
 centage of Fatalities. Not Over One
 Death out of Every Four Hundred
 Cases, According to the N. c. Board
 of Health. The Chief Danger Lies
 in Complications Arising, Attacking
 Patients In a Run Down Condition
 Those Who Don't go to Bed Soon
 Enough, or Those Who Get up too
 Early.
 Spanish Influenza which appeared in Spain in May has all the appea rance of grip or La grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippo crates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. c. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1881, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1SS9-90.
 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 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 air passages-nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and ire quently 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 purgattve, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't werry, Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc, may be administered by the physicians directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure oi specific for influenza = the disease must run it's course, but nature herself will throw off the attack if only yoJ keep up your strength. The chic danger lies in the complications whicf 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 actions. Fol these reasons, it is very important that the patient remain in bed unti his strength returns-stay in bed al

AN INFANT INDUSTRY.

A new chapter may be added soor
to the romance of modern engineer
ing a story already replete with thrill
ing tales of mans triumph over the
clements. An investigation conducted
| under the observation of the Elmer
geucy Fleet corporation, involving
construction of a large cargo carrying
concrete ship, opens up a new field
that has possibilities of the most far
reaching Importance. Success may
mean a marked step toward victory
over the German submarine.
In a shipyard at San Francisco there
has been launched the first large con-
crete vessel ever built in America, and
in fact, the largest ship of that con-
struction ever built anywhere, This
ship is an experiment. in SO far as its
size is concerned. There have been
concrete ships built abroad, notably
in Norway, but they were not so large
The vessel at San Francisco is of 45OO
tons.
Il this ship be able to resist the
strain of ocean traffic, which, it ap-
pears, is the big factor of doubt con-
nected with the experiment, experts
say that it will be the forerunner OF
many more concrete ships.
1t is confidently predicted that, with
concrete shipbuilding an established,
practical and economical ACCOMPLISH
Hlent, the fleet corporation will be
able to build many such vessels and
that they will go far to solve the prob
lem of establishing American pres
tige on the high seas.

Another concrete vessel. smaller
than the one in the San Francisco
yard, is being constructed by the cor
poration in a private yard at Bruins
wick, Fla. The fleet corporation
rented one of the shipways in the yard
and began building a 3,5so-ton con-
crete ship.
If the concrete ship prove to be a
success, the saving in time, labor and
money expended in ship building will

THE NEW BONDS.

The campaign for the sale of bonds
of the third liberty loan is now open
and early indications are that the sum
called for by the government will be
speedily subscribed. Altho wide pub
licity has been given to the terms of
the new loan there still appears to be
doubt in the minds of some persons
regarding the relation of the new
bonds to taxation.
These bonds are exempt both as to
principal and interest from all taxes
imposed by the United States or any
state or local taxing authority except
estate or inheritance taxes, graduated
additional income taxes commonly
o. war profits of corporations, part
nerships or associations. The interest
on an amount of bonds not in excess
of $1,000 owned by one person is ex-
empt from taxes of any kind. These
bonds are free from all local taxation
nor can local assessor or tax collector
assess them as personal property.
They may be used at their face value
plus accrued interest in payment of
United States inheritance taxes.
1t has been suggested that the de-
pressed price at which earlier issues
of liberty loan bonds have been selling
in the market is due to the action of
persons, who desiring to invest in the
third loan and not having available
cash for the purpose. part with their
present holdings. If this has been go
ing on it is bad business. 1t would be
much better to borrow from the banks.

of every good citizen to join earnestly
and unreservedly in the effort to make
it a success. The amount is not more
than one-half of what had been looked
