Information in regard 10 what kind
OF oil or grease should be used in

Would a light oil work through the
rear axle? / now have them filled

Thanking you very much for this
information, / am G. S.
To lubricate the gears OF the gear
set and the differentiai II is usually
well TO use a lubricant that will
work into the bearings as well as
form a cushioning force between the
teeth OF the gears. While cup grease
will become channeled by the &C
ton II the revolving gears. oil will
reach all the points OF friction.
Light oil may be used IL the axle
housing is oil tight. but as IL does
not offer the same cushioning effect
that a heavy oil does II may cause
more noise. A fluid lubricant is al
ways recommended for units Of this
kind.

FLU SCARE IS
UNJUSTIFIED
Secretary of Health Board
Says Alarming Stories
are Unfounded.

Efforts on the part OF unthinking
or unknowing people to create a
feeling Of apprehension and fear
that she influenza situation in South
Bend has again reached an alarm
ing stage is entirely unjustihed. ac-
cording 70 Dr. F. G. Freyermuth.
secretary OF the local board OF
health last night.
"A statement was recently pub
lished" declared the health official
that would make IT appear that the
influenza is increasing in the city
and that there are now over 500
cases in South Bend. SO far as
have been able to learn from per-
sonal interviews with physicians,
public school teachers and scholars,
theater managers and proprietors
OF the larger stores OF the city,
find that there approximately 200
cases OF the disease in the city and
that the disease is on the wane and
that daily there are a fewer num-
Der Of new cases reported by the
physicians.
"I have even visited some OF the
public schools TO obtain frst-hand
information from the teachers and
scholars on the subject and 10 see
for myself that proper precautions
are being observed in the ventilation
Of school rooms, etc, and have
found that rules OF the health board
in that and other respects are being
carried out.
Il have investigated stories OF a
large number of children being alb
sent from certain school and
clerks from their work in a large
department store Of the city on &C
count Of being III with the influenza
and discovered that IN nearly every
instance the story had been eXag-
gerated and multiplied greatly. In
one case I understood that Il
clerks Of a certain department store
were at home III with the disease,
and upon consulting the proprietor
OF the store was told that not even
one Of his employees at that time was
of work on account Of illness"
