TO AVOID AND RELIEVE lNFLU.
ENZA
CBy Or. Franklin Duane.)


Many people have been frightened
by what they lave read or heard o
influenza. Iha more you fear tht
disease the surer you are to get it
Go right about your business ana
forget it. As the disease is spread
principally by contact thru sneezing
coughing or splitting, many health
authorities have advised that every
one wear a gauze, which is daily
washed and saturated with a one
to five hundred solution Of zinc sui
phate in water, and then dried be-
fore wearing over the nose and
mouth You should avoid crowds,
common drinking cups and public
towels. Keep your strength up by
taking lots Of exercise in the open
air and plenty of nourishing food
If you have any Of such symptoms
as chilliness, nasal DISTINCTIONS
flushed face, headache, feverishness,
restlessness, weakness, or irritat-
ing cough, give up work at once and
20 to bed. This will save your
strength to help overcome the dis
ease. Put your feet in hot water for
fifteen minutes. Thoroughly loosen
the bowels with some such mild and
non-irritating physics as Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally
Of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty of clothes in bed so as
to get good sweat When sweat
ing is free and the fever reduced
take a dose Of two Anuric Tablets
every four hours followed by drink
ing at least a glass or two OF hot
water Anuric Tablets help quickly
to relieve the soreness Of the mus
cles and bones from which most pa
tients complain and help the kid
neys flush out the poisons.
TO relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
probably nothing is better than such
a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 1t will
give great relief Employed as a
gargle, in same strength as made up
for use in the nose, and as hot as can
be borne, it quickly arrests soreness
and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients re.
sistance to disease, so that there is
danger of bronchitis and pneumonia
developing. To combat this tenden.
cy and fortify the patients strength
Insist that he keep In bed at least
.wo days. Probably nothing will at
his stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an
tablet called "Irontic" or
hat well known herbal tonic, DR..
2ierces Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands in
he past two generations.

Jockey c. Peak
Suspended; Fink
Entries Barred
Belmont Park Stewards Hot
on Trail of Sponge
Culprit

The commendable hght for clean
racing which those in control Of the
sport in the East have given every
evidence Of pursuing relentlessly this
season took within the tolls two turf
luminaries yesterday. The stewards in
charge Of the meeting at Belmont Park
announced yesterday that Jockey
Charles Peak had been suspended for
the remainder of the meeting and that
the entries of Harry H. Fink would
De refused for the same period. This
was as far as the stewards could go
IN the matter of discipline, but it is
certain that the Jockey Club will not
let the cases rest so lightly if it is
proved serious offences were COM
mitted.
The suspicion directed against Peak
and Fink developed in the running Of
the fifth race Of Wednesday afternoon.
Peak had the mount on Judge Wing
field, four-year-old brown gelding be-
longing to H. H. Fink The boys ride
was anything but satisfactory. He did
rot seem to try in the stretch and ap-
peared to pull" the horse all the way.
Sponge Trail Warns Up
The stewards are now hot on tho
trail of the culprit who put sponge
in the nose of Brooks prior to Satur-
days steeplechase, as we'll as the
gambling clique that engineered this
bit Of sharp practice. 1t is said fur
ther that something startling is soon
to drop in connection with tho running
of the Suburban.
The stewards Of the Jamaica track
refused the entries Of E. G. Vivell as
result of a startling reversal Of form
on the part of Etruscan. Mr.. Vivell's
colors have not been prominent at Bel
mont Park-not so that anybody could
notice.
The sooner the East is rid of the
crooks and sharpers that seem to have
been attracted here with the closing Of
some of the minor racing circuits the
better it will be for the popularity Of
the sport. The public will stand behind
the racing officials In the most drastic
measures toward house cleaning that
may be necessary.
