LOCAL MAN HAS
TEN MEMBERSHIPS

An added impetus was given to the
Waterville- Winslow Chamber of
Commerce drive with the increase
in the subscription Of one of the
members who has reconsidered his
original application and decided to
make it for ten memberships instead
Of for one, as IL was at first signed.
William ]. Lanigan had signed an
application for one membership a
few days ago, but viewing the move
ment as one which held possibilities
for great advancement for the COM
munity he has asked to have his
application increased to ten member
ships which will make his yearly con-
$3.50.
Another addition which occurred
during the day was the membership
of Charles W. Mathews who sub
scribed for one membership. This
brings the net total of membership
subscriptions up to 257. The men in
charge of the work see the goal of
900 getting closer each day and fell
very confident that within the next
few days the goal will be reached.
The present plans are to conclude
the drive for members as soon as 300
are secured and to begin at once the
orga 1ization work and to proceed
with the election of the new Board of
Directors.
The primary election will be held
at the earliest possible date so that
there will be no delay in getting the
new organization established. This
will be followed with the final cleo
ton Of directors and the board will
at once elect its officers and start Sc
curing a permanent secretary.

The epidemic of Spanish Influenza

already reported; Surgeon-General
Blue of the United States Public
Health Service having stated that
| Spanish Influenza will probably

Practically every ship which

ease.
Surgeon General Blue urges that
'the individual take all the precau-
lions he can against contracting the
disease by care and personal hy-
giene" Plenty of exercise should be
taken: the diet should be regulated,
etc.
Spanish Influenza affects most Sc
verely elderly persons and others

tally those who are run down" or
mot feeling up to the mark"
The really great danger from the
disease is not so much in the disease
itself, as that it often develops into
pneumonia.
What everyone needs now is a gen.
eral tonic like Fruit a tives." This
wonderful fruit medicine is not a
germ killer 1t is a body builder; a
strength maker: a blood purifier; a
power in protecting against the raw

which struck Waterville in due sea-

the conditions have not reached an
alarming pitch. The public schools.
which were ordered closed at the
time of the general closing orders,

In order to stimulate the lining a.
the air passages to throw off tho
grippe germs, to aid in loosenins ths
phlegm and keeping the air passage,
open. thus making the breathing
easier. Vick's VapoRub will be found
effective. Hot, wet towels should b.
applied over the throat. chest and
back between the shoulder blades II
open the pores. Then NapoRub
should be rubbed in over the parts
until the skin is red, spread on thick.
ly and covered with two thicknesses
of hot flannel cloths. Leave The
clothing loose around the neck as the
heat OF the body liberates the in.
gradients in the form Of vapors
These vapors, inhaled with each
breath. carry the medication directly
to the parts affected. 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 germ disease. spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, 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. Above all, keep free
from 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 NapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in benzoin steam kettle
If this is not availafJle, use an ordi.
nary tea-kett.e. Fill half full Of
boiling water. put in halt a teaspoon
of NapoRub from time to time-keep
the kettle just slowly boiling and in.
hale the steam arising.
NOTE. Vick's VapoRub Is the
discovery of n North Carolina drug.
"io Aohhu nv" ~ SolIlDlHt, IN
salve form. Menthol and Camphor
with such volatile oils as Eurayptus
Thyme, Cubebs. etc, so that when
the salve is applied to the body heat
these ingredients are liberated in the
form of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England
and a few Western Statas WHORE il In
just now being introduced, but in the
other sections of the country it is
the standard home remedy in over
million homes for all forms Of cold
troubles. Over six million jars were
sold last year. 1t is particularly
recommended for children's Group or
colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely
as desired without the slightest
harmful effects. VapoRub can be
had in three sizes at all druggists
