BRITISH SECRETARY
OF WAR SAYS COMPLETE
VICTORY IS IN SIGHT

I London, Oct. 17-(Canadian Press)
Lord Miner, British secretary of
war interviewed today by the Even
ing Standard said that complete vic
tory was in sight, namely the de-
struction of the Prussian military
machine. e.
1t was serious mistake, Lord Mil
ner declared. to imagine that the Ger
man people were in love with militar-
ism; when the German people saw
the complete ignominous defeat of
militarism and realized that that sys-
tenn had brought them. ruin, they
would be as eager to do away with
it as the Allies.
Lord Miner said that the utter
wreckage of the Prussian military
machine might be achieved either by
a complete and decisive victory lead
ing to unconditional surrender or by
an armistice under such conditions as
to guarantee that the military SUI
premacy of the allies should not be
weakened. He was inclined to think
that If the allies at the present time
attempt to dictate to Germany Ger
tain drasic changes in their own gov
eminent as regards the constitution
and personnel. the resistance Of the
German armies would be stifrened.
The war minister said that after
al there must be German govern
ment to negotiate an armistice with
and complete transformation was al
ready in progress. There should not
be too great hurry to denounce it as
Il sham. The present holders Of pow
er were responsible to the Reichstag
and the Reichstag is the only popular
elected national assembly in Ger
many. 1t was in the interests of the
allies to see that stable government
OF some sort was maintained in Ger
many. AS preparation had to be OBJ
tanned he did not wish to see Bolshe-
yikism and chaos rampant there.

VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting
the blood to the surface, and
thus aids in relieving the con-
geStiOn within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
There is no occasion for panic
influenza or grip has very
low percentage 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 principally,
patients in a run down condition
those who don't go to bed soon
enough, or those who get up too
early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that
this is germ disease, spread
principally by human contact,
chiefly through coughing. sneez-
ing or splitting. So avoid per-
, sons having colds, which means
avoiding crowds-comnon drink
ing 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, avoid colds, as
colds irritate 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 a
head cold, melt a little VapoRub
in spoon and inhale the vapors,
or better still, use VapoRub in
benzoin steam kettle. If this is
not available, use an ordinary
tea-kettle. Fiji half full of boil
ing water, put in half a teaspoon
Of VapoRub frOm time to time
keep the kettle just slowly boil
ing and inhale the steam arising
NoTE-Vick's VapoRub is the
discovery of a North Carolina
druggist, who found how to COM
bine, in salve form, Menthol and
Camphor with such volatile oils
as Eucalyptus. Thyme, Cubebs,
ETC., so that when the salve is ap-
piled to the body heat. these in
gradients are liberated in the
form Of vapors. VapoRub can
be had in three sizes at all drug
gists. While comparatively new
in corfain M RI ~ tho Nnrth -
is the STANDARD home remedy in
the South and West for all forms
Of cold troubles-over six mil
lion jars were sold last year.
VapoRub is particularly recon-
mended for children's Group or
colds, as it is externally applied
and can, therefore, be used free
ly and often without the slight
est harmful effects.-Adv.
