LIBERAL NEW ENGLAND.

New Englanders have never Jagged
behind when there has been call to
patriotic duty. And now, when great
er demands than ever before are
made upon them they have stood 10y
ally to the test. In the three pre-
vious issues of Liberty bonds they
have bought literally; they have
bought generously Of War Savings
Stamps and have contributed largely
to the various forms of war relief and
now they are ready to subscribe to
the Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan, all,
and more. it is believed, than the
amount assigned them. They have
confidence in their Government; they
will literally bank on their boys Over
There and will pour out the millions
so long as there is need for them to
prosecute the war and bring 1t to a
speedy, victorious end.

TEN WAR COMMANDMENTS.

Ten war commandments have been
given to the people Of France by the
economic and social section of the
League of Patriots with headquarters
in Paris. They are to save, to econ

Reflect upon the sufferings of those
who are fighting for you, upon the

BREAK A CHILD'S
COLD BY GIVING
SYRUP OF FIGS
Cleanses the Little Liver and Bowels,
and They Get Well
Quick

When your child suffers from a cold,
don't wait; give the little stomach, liver
and bowels a gentle, thorough cleansing
at once. When cross, peevish, listless,
pale, doesn't sleep, eat or act naturally;
if breath is bad, stomach sour, give a
teaspoonful Of California Syrup Of
Figs" and in few hours all the clogged
up, constipated waste, sour bile and un-
digested food win gently move out of
the bowels, and you have a well, play
full child again.
If your child coughs, snuffes and has
caught cold or is feyerish or has sore
throat, give good dose of California
Syrup Of Figs" to evaeuate the bowels,
no difference what other treatment is
given.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to take
this harmless fruit laxative Millions
of mothers keep it handy because they
know its action on the stomach, liver
and bowels is prompt and sure. They
also know little given to-day saves a
sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for bottle of Gal
ifornia Syrup of Figs, which contains
directions for babies, children of all ages
and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle.
Beware of counterfeits sold here. Get
the genuine, made by California Fig
Syrup Company."-Adv.

Graduated.

What we were to do to help was the
thing which bothered all Of us some is
months ago when we entered the great
war "Tell us what to do" was the gen
eral cry
The United States food administration
was among the first of government or
carnations to set TO the task Of answer
ing that call, for it had many things for
everybody to do.
1t is not easy TO get a message across
to the millions throughout the length and
breadth Of country as great as America.
But the food administration in one year
has found that it can get returns from
it's people in a very short time. Practl-
eally everybody has co-operated and
therein is the secret Of national success.
There have been Especial drives" at
special times-certain periods when above
all things IL was necessary to send wheat
or sugar or meat or 10 60 without other
things at home Everyone knows the
splendid cooperation Of communities,
and individuals who volunteered to 90
wholly without wheat as long as the
shortage should last. 1t has been large.
" the same in regard TO meat Recently
E4htll tNb EohAAtLH VI sugar 90 q at'Na'N+ttJ
household ration, many people have not
purchased even that much
Now there comes somewhat OF
change. The crop of 1918 looks safe.
But since we are not likely TO have as
big harvest next year, because 80 many
of our men are going "oyer there" we
must keep on saving to provide for the
future. Each must do his part in send
ing across the Atlantic so per cent more
food than we sent last year.
If stringent saving last year was our
greatest proof that we were really in the
war, we have still more vital proof now,
with our big army in France. We are
not likely to forget that there must be
continuous rigid conservation for the
boys sake.
The time has come when the food adj
ministration must say to you, Use your
own judgment. The responsibility is
yours directly. Be careful everywhere,
You know there won't be-a great deal Of
sugar for anybody for some time to come,
You know that you should still continue
to eat cornbread, to save wheat and that
all baking would better be done with
mixed flours. You know that we must
ship 100000 tons of food this year
10000 more than we shipped last year,
half as much again--which means that
the consumption of all foods must be cut,
as far as consideration of health win per-
nit. You will not fail OF that the food
administration is certain, You have fin
ished your elementary course at the
school at food conservation. You have
entered the graduate school"

BOYS AND GIRLS
TO BUY BONDS

II is hoped that every school boy
and girl in New England will buy
Fighting Fourth" Liberty bond, each
one paying for II, out Of earnings. 1t
takes such a lot OF money % carry on
this great war every penny that can
be put into it is needed There is
plenty of money in the world The
thing is to get IT into the hands OF
Uncle Sam SO that he may turn it over
in one form or another to the soldiers.
There must be guns and bombs and
battleships. submarines and airplanes,
and there must be also things to wear
and things to eat. The soldiers must
be trained and they must be gotten
across. There are in fact, so many
things to spend money for 1t Is inn
possible to count them all.
The important thing for everybody
to do seems to be to get money to-
gether and then lend it to Uncle Sam.
This means that money must be saved
and that money must be earned. 1t
can be saved by taking care of our
clothes so as to make them last as
long as they possibly can, by furbish-
ing up the old instead of getting new
and by buying only what we positive
ly must have.
There are so many ways for boys
and girls to earn money these days
1t seems as though every one ought to
be able to earn 81 week for a $50
bond. There are things to be made
and sold, chores TO be done, errands to
run. II every boy and girl will stop
to think 1t seems to be .-lmost GER
tain that each one will find plenty OF
things to be done in his town, or his
neighborhood, or his home, to help
him earn all or nearly all the money
What he don't earn or save can per-
haps be supplemented from previous

LOYALTY OF
NEW AMERICANS

Response of Americans Of foreign
birth or immediate foreign extraction
to the support of the war in the Third
Liberty Loan has been estimated at
the national headquarters in Wash
ington as about half, or 41hgo OF the
entire number of persons subscrib-
ing to that loan. Their subscriptions
totaled $741,437 600 or 17% per cent
OF the whole amount subscribed. AS
most of these citizens are not of the
so-called possessing class but OF the
possessing mass this is regarded
as a gratifying amount indicating the
loyalty Of these persons to the land
of the Stars and Stripes.
BY taking at random detailed re-
ports of the 3s different nationalities
throughout the United States, about
10000 individual subscriptions estab-
llshed an average OF fraction over
Sl05 per person. Taking this aver
age as basis the number OF indi-
viduals of foreign birth or immediate
foreign extraction subscribing to the
loan was about 7,061,305.
The nationalities represented by
these subscribers included the Scot
fish, Albanian, Armenian, Assyrfan,
Belgian, Bohemian, Chinese, Bulga-
rian, Croatian, Danish, French, Fin
nish, German, English, Greek, Hol-
landish, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
Jewish, Jugoslays. Lithuanians, Let
fish, Norwegian, Polish, Roumanian,
Ruthenian, Portuguese, Russian, Ser
bian, Slovenian, Swedish, Swiss, Scan
dinavian, Syrian, Ukranian.
AS the war goes on and the need
seems greater there is no doubt that
these newer Americans will subscribe
as literally as the older ones to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. They appre-
ciate more than ever before the ideals
of the United States and have become
convinced that they are vastly more
substantial than dreams for is not
the country pouring out her youth, d.
viding her food even to the extent OF
pinching herself and turning over her
vast industries, all for the purpose OF
making those ideals real TO the rest

open, thus making the breathing east
er, Vick's VapoRub will be found eff
fectiye. Hot, wet towels should be APP
piled over the throat, chest and back
between the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then VapoRub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the
skin is red, spread on thickly and
covered with two thicknesses Of hot
flannel cloths. Leave the clothing
loose around the neck, as the heat of
the body liberates the ingredients in
the form of vapors. These vapors, in.
hailed with each breath, carry the
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
coughing, sneezing or splitting. Soavoid
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, keep free from colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of a cold. For head cold
melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vapors, or, better still, use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle.
If this is not available, use an ordi-
nary tea-kettle Fill half full of boil
ing water, put in half teaspoon of
VapoRub from time to time ~ keep
the kettle just slowly boiling, and in.

covery of North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs, etc. 80 that when the salve is
applied to the body heat, these ingre-
dents are liberated in the form of
vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York state and New England
and few western states, where it is
just now being introduced, but in the
other sections of the country it is the
standard home remedy in over a mil
lion homes for all forms Of cold trou-
bles. Over six million jars were sold
last year. 1t is particularly recon-
mended for children's Group or colds,
since it is externally applied and
therefore can be used as freely as de-
sired without the slightest harmful
effects. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists,

THE TREATMENT.

Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake. but to avoid
spreading the disease to others take
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
specific for influenza the disease must
run its course, but Nature 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 re-
sistance that there is danger of pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes inflammation of the mid !.
die 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 50 or not
strong, stay in bed four days or more.
