gates at the peace table and that the United States will have three repre- sentatiyes at the conference.
 The original plans contemplated the conclusion of the conference in April or May. Although there have been many delays and some confusion in the preliminary work Of organization. some of the delegates, the Americans included, are optimistic that the la bors of the conference can be finished in that time.
 An outstanding development today was the Announcement by President Wilson of a published story that he had accepted plan formulated by the league to enforce peace.
 An official statement made it plain that the president believed that a league of nations was indispensable to the maintenance of peace, but that he had never directly or indirectly en- dorsed the particular plan of the league to enforce peace.

 When the boys from Arizona ar rived at the camp they were thought rough and hard-bOiled by the officers. Before leaving. however. they were congratulated as being the only real men in the camp.
 The treatment accorded the boys was excellent. and while a few milk fed privates complained of food. which was spoiled once or twice practically all of the boys of this state gained in flesh and brawn dur ing their short stay in the unit and the concensus of opinion was that they had had bully time" at camp.

RECIPROCAL FEELING HIGH.

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-President Wilson gave his personal impressions today at a meeting with the representatives of the American Press of his expert ences thus far in France. At the same time announcement was made that the members of the American com mission to negotiate peace would meet daily with the press. The president, in response to a suggestion. said
 -'I have been asked to say a few words in regard to my reception here. The reception was so tremendous that I do not know what to say. l was delighted with it, but l was delighted for a special reason, which is not per sonal.
 T wass aying to several of our French friends that l understood it because l saw in the eyes of the crowd just the feeling that l had for them and was aware that it was but a sort of reciprocal feeling But that moved me very much, because that, of course, meaut more than mere generous cordiality on the part of these delight ful people. It meant a thoughtful background 10 the thing which was very welcome and to come into that sort of i, cling in this wonderfully beautiful city made a combination Of emotions ttat one would not have more than once in a lifetime.

HOT WATER BOTTLES
 USED FOR BOOZE

PHOENIX, AriZ., Dec. 1S.-'Neces sity is the mother of invention"
 And so it is even in the practice oi illegal transportation of whisky into Arizona, and especially into Maricopa county. This much was uncovered by Plain Clothes Officers J. J. McGrath and F. c. Grove of the city police de pertinent this morning when they seized a trunk at the office of the Union stage line, consigned to Jones at Miami
 There is evidence that the Arizona bootleg fraternity employs special con- sulting board. This board is seeming gly composed of several men of genius, whose duty it is to evolve sane and safe' methods of transporting liquor into this state.
 During the four years of prohibition in Arizona it was thought that the fra ternity had about exhausted all means of transporting liquor. but an entirely new method was brought to light in the seizure today
 Hot water bottles are used in this new process. Rubber goods Of a good grade are purchased and filled with whisky. The rubber bottles are then placed in a trunk and carefully packed so that there will be no rattle.
 This method precludes the possibil- ity of breakage. It is through bottles of whisky breaking that a majority of the seizures have been made in this county. Likewise there is no rattle or clinking of glass.
 There were about one dozen hot water bottles in the trunk seized this morning. The size of the bottles varied from two to four quarts. It is esti- mated that there were at least 40 quarts of whisky in the shipment.
 The trunk was seized by Officers McGrath and Grove as it was being loaded on the Union stage bound for

 siderable headway is being made in this direction and that the members of the American mission are now see ing their way clearly All express the conviction that delegates will enter the conference in a spirit of accom- modation
 Some undercurrents are interpreted as showing indications of regret be- cause the acceptance of President Wilson's points in a general way pre- vented some nations from achieving their own objects which might have been gained if Germany's collapse had been made even more complete. In reply, it has been plain Co those with whom the president conferred that the United States government does not consider the war victory of arms alone, and that victory would be in- complete without an organization of nations to guarantee world peace
 President Wilson today paid his first visit to the headquarters of the American mission, conferring briefly with Col E. NJ. House, Secretary of State Lansing, Henry White and oth- CTS and inspecting the organization now taking shape.
 No decision has yet been reached as to the number of delegates which will represent each country, the ar rival of the British delegates being awaited. The claims of the British colonies to participation in the con gress is receiving serious considera- tion. At the same time it is feared that unless some limitation is placed on the number of delegates the con- ference will become too large to ac- complish results.
 It is understood that the British gov ernment proposes to have five dele

 the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin IS red, spread on thickly and covered 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 vapor. These vapors, in
 haled with each breath. carry the medication directly to the parts af l fected. At the same time. VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the sur. face. and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
 NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
 There is no occasion for panic-in- fluenza or grippe has a very low per centage of fatalities-not over one death out of every four hundred cases. according to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in com plications arising, attacking principal ly patients in run down condition those who don't go to. bed soon enough. or those who get up too early. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
 EVldence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through cough ing. sneezing or splitting. So avoid ing crowds-common drinking cups. roller towels, etc. Keep up your bod fly strength by plenty of exercise fin the open air and good food.
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
 Above all, keep free from colds. as colds irritate the lining of the air pas sages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vicks VapORub at the very first sign of cold. For a head cold. melt a lit tie VapoRub in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still. use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this S not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle Fill half full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. NOTE: Vick's VapoRub is the discov- cry of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such vola- tile oils as Eucalyptus. Thyme. Gu bebs, etc, so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingre- dients are liberated in the form of vapors
 VapoRub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. While compara- lively new in certain parts of the North. it is the standard home remedy in the South and West for all forms of cold troubles-over six million jars were sold last year. VapoRub is par ticularly recommended for childrens croup or colds, as it is externally ap- piled and can, therefore. be used free ly and often-without the slightest harmful effect.

SEES FATAL DELEGATE

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-The papal letter presented to President Wilson today by Monsignor Cerretti, papal under secretary of state, pleaded for assist ance on behalf of small oppressed nationalities, especially Armenia and Poland. The popes letter also ex- pressed the hope a just and durable peace being reached through enlight- ened action.
 Pope Benedict also spoke in behalf of the new countries arising from the partition of the dual monarchy, men tioning especially Bohemia. The pontiff asked President Wilson to help those countries to realize their ambi- tions regardless of race and religian.

FRENCH LEAGUE PLAN

PARIS, Dec. IS. - Senator Leon Bourgeois, president of the French So- ciety for a League of Nations. and Count d'Estounelles de Constant, also a delegate of the society, gave to the Associated Press today a brief account of conference they had had with Premier Clemenceau. A draft of the complete plan for the constitution of such league, they said, was submit ted to the premier, upon which an ex- change of views took place.
 The premier declared that the prin- ciple of league of nations would not fail to be inscribed in the preliminar- ies of a peace such as would be de- cided upon by the allies
 M. Clemenceau agreed that the al- lies must resolve upon a common plan of organization and be invited the delegates of the society for a league of nations to confer with the members of similar societies in the allied coun- tries with a view to preparing a com plete text which could give the govern ments concerned inspiration and ideas

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE


 Spanish Influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs Hippocrates re- fers to an epidemic in 412 B. c. which is regarded by many to have been in- huenZa. Every century has had it's at- tacks. Beginning with 1881, this coun- try has had five epidemics. the last in 1SS9-90.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grip, or influenza. as if is now called, usually begins with a chill. fol. lowed by aching. feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness. and 8 general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lin ing of the air passages-nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night. often times a soar throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold.
 THE TREATMENT
 Go to bed at the first symptoms. not OhAy 4Oi gOuI Ohu sake, put 10 avoid spreading the disease to others-take a purgative. eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine. Aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc, may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza-the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis develop ing, and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very import ant that the patient remain in bed un- til his strength returns-stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you. or if you are over 50 or not strong. stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack
 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
 In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open. Vick's VapoRub will be found effect i've. Hot, wet towels should be ap- piled over the throat, chest and back

THREE KILLED IN ., TRAIN COLLISION
 AT GRANGER, TEX.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 10-Three per- sons were killed and six were injur- ed early today in a rear-end collision between two sections of the Katy flier on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad in Granger, about 40 miles northeast of here. First reports pIac- ed the number of dead at 16, but this later was denied by officials after investigation.
 So far as has been ascertained the number injured was six. Although the extent of their injuries has not been determined, officials believe they will recover. The names of four of the injured who were brought here are W. H. Fairland, Chfca go; W. G. Tooley, New York; T. F. Brown, Dallas, and F. W. Hull, Philadelphia.
 According to information obtaina- ble at the dispatchers' office here the first section of the train stopped at a. water tank in Granger. While the en- zine was taking water the second sec ton ran into it. The two rear sleep CTS of the first section were telescop- ed. The dispatchers' office said the rear Pullman was damned half way through the car ahead. Those killed are said to have been asleep in the two sleepers.

Goethals, who enjoys the unique experience of having worked out at the Panama canal problems of transportation and supply of a magni- tude never until now approached in the history of our government.

 "A new view of the work of the council of national defense and of the war industry board is now possible. 'The council of national defense is, of course, an advisory body without executive power. Its members have severally the powers of their re- 1 spective departments The purpose of the council, however, was recon ciliation of conflict and survey of the national needs and resources, This purpose. it has served and is serving. The general intuition board and it's successor, the war industry board, with their committees, were organized by the council for the fol- lowing purposes:
 "1 Assign priorities among the several departments of the govern ments and the Allied governments in | their demands on the industries of the country.
