Memphis went over the top; but
it should, as that place sure is

dropped from $4,000 ft. to 1000

Celebrated Ahead Of Time.

There are many ways of max
ing a living" One, is to gather
all the news from certain terri
tory and sell it to the newspapers.
There are several associations or
corporations that do this kind of
business, and they perform a
very important service in the
placing Of the very latest events
before the eyes Of the reading
public. To merit the confidence
of the public and the patronage
of the newspapers, these reports
should be reliable, and as a rule,
they are. Once in awhile,
chances are taken, upon the as
sumption that a guess is as good
as anything else, when it hits.
How it works when a guess"
dosen'tmaterialize, was exem pill
fled last week, when on Thursday
the United States Press Associa-
ton sent out a dispatch from
Overseas that Germany had
signed the armistice; and, there
fore, the war was over" The
news spread like wild fire, and in
a few hours the whole Country
was in a state of hilarious jubila-
ton. From the largest city to
the smallest hamlet, bells were
rung, whistles blown, streets
were filled with men women and
childred, cheering. blowing
horns, shooting cannon crack
ers" and doing everything pos
sible to express their great joy.
In a very few hours it was
found that the rumor was a fake,
but that made little difference to
the majority of those who had
started out to celebrate, and the
racket was kept up half Thurs
day night.
Why, certainly McConnells-
burg was in it, and had as much
excitement as if the report had
been true. Fortunately, we
have no accidents to report for
Nc cConnellsbnrg, although there
was a reckless use of firearms
and cannon crackers on tn e
street. Up in our neighboring
town, of Bedford, some person or
persons took advantage of the up
roar on the streets and broke in
to the post office, blew open the
big iron safe, extracted $500 90
in cash, and carried away about
$40, 100000 worth of War Savings
Stamps. The same thing could
have happened in McConnells-
burg as far as noise and excite
ment were concerned.

DON'T TAKE CHANCES.
The State llealih Department Issues
Warning 10 Victims Conyalesciug
from Spanish Iniluebza.

Harrisburg, Nov. 1.-THE epi-
demic Of influenza has already
claimed more than 80, 600 lives in
the State of Pennsylvania alone.
The State Department Of
Health declares that unless
proper precautions are taken by
the thousands Of patients now
recovering from the ravages Of
this disease there will be a large
and gruesome addition to the
death list and many patients
who think they are on the road
to recovery will suffer serious re-
lapses which may rapidly de-
velop into fatal cases Of pneu-
monia.
In order that persons con-
valescing from Influenza may be
properly advised regarding the
necessary care to be taken un-
til full recovery is reached, DR..
B, Franklin Roger, Acting Com
missioner Of Health, has issued
the following statement.
"0ne half million Pennsylva-
mans are now convalescing from
influenza. All Of them feel for
a period of days or weeks the
weakness and depression so
commonly affecting the con-
valescent. Thousands of per-
sons will have no physician dur
ing the period Of recovery, hence
a word of warning to them.
From two to four days after
tn e average person recovers
from the fever accompanying in
iluenza getting up cautiously may
be allowed. Getting up and 60
ing about often leads to danger
Gus collapse of the heart be-
cause of its inability, due to
weakness, to send the blopd
hurrying to the remote extremi-
ties. The heart muscle in most
persons has been seriously dam
aged by the poison Of influenza
and the heart itself may sud-
denly dilate to a dangerous ex-
tent leading to fainting or sink
ing spells. To put undue strain
through exercise or work upon a
heart in such condition may lead
to permanent damage to the
heart itself. Further, person
in such a stage of weakness or
collapse very rapidly sickens
with pneumonia because of de-
fective lung circulation and hun
dreds of persons getting up and
going about too soon have thus
brought additional pneumonia or
heart disease upon themselves.
Take warning therefore. Get
up gradually, stop short of ia
tigue or on the slightest sign Of
weakness. Better lay up an
other week rather than attempt
to go beyond the strength of
tagged heart.
For the same reason it is in
advisable to attempt buoying up
ones strength by .circula-
ton. Dissipation Of any sort,
especially alcoholic dissipation, is
dangerous for both heart, kid
ney and lung in this stage of
convalescence. Simple nourish-
ing food taken to the limit Of
ones digestive ability, rest and
rest frequently in a reclining
position, probably offers the best
possible hope for complete re-
covery without permanent dam
age to vital organs"

HONOR ROLL.
Names Of New Subscribers and OH.
erS Who Have Paid Subscription
During the Past Four Weeks.

Because it was not very safe
to disobey, we were obedient to
the order of the Government,
and on the first of October ceased
to send the NEWS to any one in
arrears at that time.
Some OF those who did not get
paper, were back only a week
or more, but the line was drawn
by the War Industries Board,
and every person had to be treat
ed alike. Since that time many
of the Four Hundred have paid
what was due, and advanced
their subscription, and many
brand new subscribers have been
added to our list. SO, why
should we worry?
But REMEMBERl If our
friends want to continue to get
the News, it will be necessary
to keep an eye on the label; for
we are compelled to quit send
ing the paper when the time s
out. If you do not wish to miss
a copy, send in your remittance
so it reaches this Office a few
days before your subscription ex-
pires. A dollar pays for eight
months, and a two dollar bill,
for sixteen months, and fifty
cents will bring it into your
home for four months.
Look over the list below and
see whether you have been cred
tied up right for the last money
you paid; then, look at the label
on your paper and see that il
corresponds with the honor roll.
If you have renewed, watch
the label until the date is chang
ed, If the date is not changed
in two weeks, it would be better
that you notify the NEWS office,
as it may save a misunder erstand-
