is SubSIDING IN
ARMY CAMPS
Contagion Has Reached Ev-
cry Part Of u. S.-Death
Toll High in Nation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Spanish
Influenza now has reached epidemic
proportions in practically every state
IN the country. and In only three has It
been reported as stationary, with some
Improvement in the situation In Mas
sachusetts. In spite Of all efforts by
Federal, state and local authorities,
the disease has spread rapidly and
the death toll has been high In most
parts OF the nation,
In army camps the epidemic Is sub
siding, further decrease in the num-
Der of new cases being noted today at
the Office OF the surgeon general OF the
army. The total Of cases reported
was 6,498, a decrease of 773 from yes
terday. Pneumonia cases were 1915
against 1888 the day before, but the
number OF deaths increased, being $50
against TIC yesterday.
Reports made public last night by
the public health service show that
outside of Massachusetts the epidemic
is severe throughout New England.
Not q single state east of the Missis-
sippi is clear of the disease and in
most of the coast states from Maine
to Florida conditions are serious.
War Work curtailed.
The number Of cases reported also
is increasing in Oregon, Washington
and California, while the malady has
appeared in all mountin states and is
epidemic in most Of them. Minnesota
is the only west central state report
ing the disease stationary, while in
fluenza is epidemic In Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois. 1t
also is epidemic in al 1.-The southern
states. as well as in Oklahoma and
Arkansas.
In war-crowned District of Column
bia the epidemic continues undated.
AS further precautionary measure
the Treasury and Interior Depart
ments today issued orders that no
new employees of those departments
be brought to Washington until fur
Their notice. Similar action is expect
ed by other government departments
which still are in need Of additional
help.
The fuel administration, at the sug-
gestion of the public health service,
also announced today that as far as
possible all engagement and appoint
ments for conferences with out-of-
town persons during the next two
weeks will be Cancelled. This alton, it
is hoped, will help to relieve the con-
gested general and local telephone
conditions and minimize the spread Of
influenza.

contents poison the blood, draw the
corners of the mouth, rob you of
sleep, give the face that hungry, bag

1t is not what you eat but the fault
of digestion that hurts. Eat anything

From Ten to Seventy-Five Years.
Nearly All Admit Guilt.

Police activity in the shopping dis
trict is keeping pace with the class OF
persons termed shopliftera Maj. Pull
man. superintendent Of police, has his
"shoplifter squad" on duty in all sec
tions where stores are catering to the
Christmas trade, female members of
the force being among them, and many
arrests already have been recorded at

tricts.

Without Phosphorus Nerves Of Steel
Weaken, Waste Away and Die
Dr. Reid Pescrihes


Inor concentrate his mind on his
work, and 1 advised him to eat less
Iard take two f1ve-grain tablets of
Iphosphorated malt after each meal.
In less than ten days he walked into
my office full of vim and vigor, his
leyes bright, his step firm and his
manner that of a man of twenty-five,
Though he was we'll past fifty"
The value of malt is well known to
all physicians. 1t is a remarkable
tonic and tissue builder. Combined
with phosphorus and phosphates. as
in phosphorated malt, it increases
mental stamina, balances the blood
and aids the system to convert food
into living tissue. The old liquid
forms of malt are inconvenient to
take; and most of them contain al
icohol. which produces a needless
Stimulation. always followed by q
depressing reaction. Phosphorated
| malt has the nutritive properties of
malt without the evil effects Of al
icohol. After a few days of it you
will wake in the morning vigorous
land refreshed, ready to begin the
days work with redoubled conf
idence. optimism and endurance.
| NOTE-The feeling of exhilaration often
noticeable after a few weeks use Of phos-
phorated malt is not due to stimulation. It
is the cheerfulness that comes of perfect
the nourishment the body needs and flushing
out the poisons of which the body needs to
be rid. The fine e1hilaration of perfect
health and faultness nourishment is 80 rare
| TO most people to be remarkable and
strange. Prosphorated malt is sold By all
I0'Donnells and Peoples drug stores.-A6-
