At the urgent request of Hon. W.
G. McAdoo, Secretary. of the Treas
ury, the observance of Fire Preven-
ton Day has been postponed from it's
usual date of October 9Th to Novemb-
err End. Hon. P. P. Claxton, United
States Commissioner of Education,
has been instrumental in having sent
out to all teachers q copy of small
pamphlet entitled Safeguarding the
. Home Against Fire., which has been
prepared by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters for the Bureau of
Education. Other copies of this can
be had from the National Board of
Underwriters, 76 Williams St., New
York City, at the cost of printing.
With the pamphlet Commissioner
Claxton has also had sent out small
pamphlet in which is embodied sug-
gestions for brief program on Fire
Prevention Day. A due and proper
observance of this dav is of the ut
most Importance and all progressive
teachers will govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
The following ten "Don'ts" are
unique, interesting and instructive:
1. Don't play with matches Or
leave them where small children may
find them and set fire to themselves
and their homes.
2. Don't build bonfircs; they often
cause destruction.
3. Don't fill lamp or oil stove
while it is lighted, for there is dan
ger that it will explode and cause fire
and injury.
A. Don't if your clothing catches
fire, run and fan the flames, but stop,
drench them with water or smother
them with wooden rug or curtain.
5. Don't keep gasoline indoors;
don't uncover it anywhere near a
flame; for it is more dangerous than
dynamite.
6. Don't use kerosene to light a
fire in the kitchen stove or elsewhere,
for many have been burned to death
by doing so.
7. Don't throw water upon grease
or oil fire, but smother it with sand,
earth, salt, soda or by using chemi-
cal extinguisher.
o. Doi y loiSSt W uloCoiiiicCI al
electric flat-iron or electric cooking
utensil when leaving it for even mo-
ment, for thousands of fires have
been caused by these appliances.
9. Don't have lighted candles, cot
ton Snow, or infammable orna-
ments upon Christmas trees, for they
burn up many homes.
10. Don't fail to remind people who
smoke thatit is dangerous to throw
away lighted cigarettes and cigars;
they constitute one of our worst fire
causes.

Nature herself will throw off the at
tack if only you keep up your strength.
The chief danger lies in the complica-
tlons which may arise. Influenza so
Weakens the bodily resistance that
there is danger of pneumonia or bron-
chitis developing, and sometimes in
fiammation of the middle ear, or
heart affections. For these reasons
it is very important that the patient
remain in bed until his strength re-
tuns-stay in bed at least two DAYS,
or more after the fever has left YOU,
or If you are over so or not strong
stay in bed four days or more, ac-
cording to the severity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate tie lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid in loosening the
phelgm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing cas-
Ter, Viek's VapoRub will be found eff
fective. Hot, wet towels should be
applied over the throat, chest and
back between the shoulder blades to
open the pores. Then Vick,s should
be rubbed in over the parts until the
skin is red, spread on thickly and COW
er 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 inhaled
with each breath, carry the medical
ton directly to the parts effected. At
the same time VapoRub is absorbed
through and stimulates the skin, at
tracing 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. Keen
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 bet
ter breeding places for the germs.
Use. Vick's VapoRub at the very
flrst sign of cold. For head cold,
melt little VcpoRub in spoon and
lnhale the vapors, or better still. use
vapoRub in benzoin steam Kettle.
1t this is not available, use an ordi-
nary tea kettle. Fill half full of boil
ing water, put in half a teaspoon of
VapoRub from time to time-keep the
Kettle just slowly boiling and inhale
the steam arising.
Vick's VapoRub can be had in tbroa
sizes-Soc., co., $1.20--at all drug

WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
by County Agent Glenn S. Hensley.)

Defeat the Single Tax Amendment
There will appear on your ballot,
November 9Th, an amendment 10 the
Constitution of Missouri, numbered 8,
which if passed will be by far the most
radical tax measure that has ever
been enacted by any country. Any
radical change in the tax system of
a country requires all sorts of read
justments. A tax on sugar couses a
rise in price to the consumer, the con-
,sumer's cost of living is raised and
he wants higher wages. To raise his
wages will increase the cost of pro-
duction of what ever he may be pro-
ducing and so it continues, taking
quite while for everything to read
just itself. The theory of the single
tax is doubtless all right, but it is
foolish to believe that it can do all
that many of its advocates claim it
will. No State in our Union has ev-
er tried it out. We cannot afford to
experiment by such a radical step. If
it is a good thing let it come more
gradually.
Briefly, the single tax as embodied
in this amendment proposes to secure
all our public revenue from the I'M
improved value of land based upon as
sessments made on and after June 1,
1919 and from taxes upon the manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating Ii
quors and tobacco and on inheritances
and incomes. Thus exempting our
many great corporations and CONNER
cial enterprises. 1t means a much
higher tax on land. A tax which will
cause one of the worst reactions this
State has ever seen. Scratch Eyes" on
amendment number eight.

Spanish influenza, which appeared
In Spain in May, has all the appear
ances of grip, which has swept over
the world in numerous epidemics as
far back as history runs. Hippocra-
ties refers to an epidemic in 412 B. c.,
which is regarded by many to have
been influenza. Every century has
had its attacks. Beginning with 1881
this country has had five epidemics,
the last in 1889-1890.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it is now call
ed, usually begins with a chill, fol
lowed by aching, feverishness, and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane Of lin
ing of the air passages, nose, throat,
and bronchial tubes; there is usually
hard cough, especially bad at night /;
oftentimes a sore throat or tonsilitis,
and frequently all the appearances of
a severe head cold.
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, AS
pirin or Dover's Powders, ETC., may be
administered by the physicians d.
rections to relieve the aching. But
there is no cure or specific for infuen-
lathe disease must run its course.

ASK COMMISSIONERS
TO BRIDGE CANADIAN

A petition asking that the com
missioners of Grady county act in
conjunction with the Canadian coun-
ty commissioners, in constructing a
road brige across the South Canad-
ian river just east Of the railroad
north of Mico, is being circulated
in district one. The petition was
formulated by the county engineer
of Grady county, and viii require
the signatures of one hundred and
fifty taxpayers, it is said.
Those circulating the petition
point out that northwest of Minco,
the nearest bridge over the river is
located at Hinton, 20 miles distance.
The only route they say, is via Nor
man, and the Lexington-Purcell
bridge is more than fifty miles dis
tance, according to the men.
