 Continued improvements in condi- tions in army camps was shown by reports reaching the office of the surgeon-general of the army up to noon yesterday. New cases of in fluenza in all camps during the 24- hour period up to that time totalled 4,454 as against 5,668 the day before. Pneumonia cases decreased from l. 895 to 1900 and the deaths were 6S4. a decrease from yesterdays total.
 Calls of Draftecs Undecided.
 In discussing the improved condl- tions in army camps today, Secretary Baker said no time mad been decided upon for beginning the induction of registrants into the camps. The mili- tary authorities now have the matter under consideration, he said, but they probably will fix no date until the epi- demic has further subsided.
 Reports on the influenza situation were received by the public health service today from states. Most of these dealt with conditions as they existed several days ago and added little to new dispatches previously sent out from the states affected.
 To provide additional funds for fighting the epidemic, Senator Lewis of Illinois, yesterday introduced bill in the Senate to appropriate $10,000,- 900 in addition to the $1,000 900 al-

 NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
 There is no occasion for panic -lnfuenza or grip has a very low percentage of fatalities-not over one death out of every 400 cases. according to the x. c. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally, patients in run ooWn condtion-those who don't go to bed soon enough, or these who get up to early. rs HOW TO AVOID THE D!sEAsE
 Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact. chiefly thru coughing, sneezin~ CT sp;'ting. So avoid persons having colds. which means avoiding crowds-common drinking cups roller towels. etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of ev- eTcise in the open air, and good food.
 Above all. avoid colds. as cold4 irritate the lining of the air pas sages and render them much bet ter breeding nlaces for the Ger:re.
 Use Nick'S NapORub at the yer first sign of cold. Fer 2 head cid, melt a little NapoRub in 2 spoon and inhaIe the vapors. or otter still. use VapoRuh in ben zoin steam kettle. If this is not available, usa an ordinary tea-ket- tla. Fill haif-fuil of boiling wa ter. nHt in half a teaspoonful of VapoRub from time to tire keep the kettle just slowly boiIi~g and inhale the steam arising.
 NOTE
 Vick's TapoRub is the disoov- cry of . North Carolina druggists. who found how to combine. in salve form, MenthoI and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucal- yptus, Thyme, Cubebs. etc, s0 that when the salve is applied to the hody hest. these ingredfant@ are liberated in the form of va DOTS. VapoRrb can be. had in three sizes at all druggists. WFTe comparatively new in certain parts of the North. it is he stard- ard home remedy in the South and West for all forms of cold troubles-over six million jars were sold last year. VapoRub is particularly recommended for children's crouD or colds, as it is externally applied and can, tthera- fore, be used freely and often without the slightest harmful ef- { fleets.
