INFLUENZA ALONG COAST;
GERMANS RESPONSIBLE

Widespread appearance of Spanish
Influenza along the Atlantic coast re-
calls warnings of navy officials some
weeks ago that German submarines
may be responsible.
Lieut.. Col. p S. Doane, head of
the health section of the Shipping
Board, today reiterated the warning.
He declared "it is quite possible the
epidcmc was started by Huns sent
ashore by boche submarine comman-
ders. We know that men have been
sent ashore from German submarine
boats and it would be quite easy for
these agents to turn loose the germs
in thcaters and other places where
large numbers of people are assemb-
led"

The motorists Of Bemidji are sing
ularly fortunate in having q garage
progressive enough to appreciate the
advantage of owning such an instru-
ment and they should show their APP
probation in substantial way. [,
The garage plans to charge nom

which will probably Indicate the be
ginning of some trouble which can
be quickly corrected and save q big
expense later. AMBU not only tells
the location and kind of trouble but
also how to repair it. 5s ssi$. 7.
So car owners need not lay up
their cars or go to the trouble and
expense Of sending parts back to the
makers of the electrical equipment.
1t is said that serious derange-
ments of electric starting and light.
ing systems have been located and
repaired in 80 minutes through the
aid Of AMBU. s;; 81
The Letford garage people seem
very much interested in showing the
instrument to any one and it Is fas.
