DIRECTIONS FOR
 MAKING MASKS TO
 PREVENT EPIDEMIC

Hartford, Oct. 11-Directions for the making of gauge face masks, which should be worn by all persons attending cases of influenza or pneu- monia, were announced today by the State Department of Health. The directions follow:
 For material use as fine gauge or cheese-cloth as possible. Fold the material to make five thicknesses, and cut an oblong 1-2 by 1-2 in ches. Make three half-inch pleats at each end, turn in edges and stitch. Cut four feet of tape into four lengths and sew one to each corner. Make box pleat 1 1-2 inches in width on one of the long edges of the mask; stitch down one inch.
 To adjust, place the mask over the face, tie the tapes from upper cor ner around the back of the head and the tape from the lower corners around the back of the neck. Place box pieat over the nose.
 These masks should be changed al two hour intervals and eftener if wet They should then be immediately boiled for five minutes, or burned, ol wrapped securely in paper bas i or newspaper until they can be boil l ed.

NEARLY MILLION TONS OF COAL A
 MONTH NEEDED
Pershing Sends Order For 9OO,O0O Tons Needs 5000 Locomotives and 60000
 Cars.

Philadelphia, Oct. 11.---Gen. Persh- ing has just cabled the government for 300, ,000 tons of coal a month. This means that 100000 tons must go to France in the next F months. Coal exports show for seven months, Jan' uary to July inclusive, 10,915,S37 tons shipped overseas.
 The new order, which must be met, calls for 5000 locomotives; 60,O00 rail- road cars and enough rails to build 2,40O miles of line. This order looks like a new route to Berlin and multi plies the government estimate on lo- comotives by four and adds 10000 to the car number. While filAng this de- nand, there can ibe no Quibbnng as war needs and necessities are the de- mands of the hour.
 The further the Allies penetrate into Hunland, more trackage and rails must be laid to bring up troops to the front and facilitate the movement Of army supplies. American engineers are doing this work, principally, on the other side. More coal---anthra- cite and bituminous---and more coke 1 is urgently needed for coke-ovens, blast furnaces, steel mills and loco- motive works on this side of the At lantio ocean.
 l Despite the fact that Lens, the French mining region, has fallen to the Allies, it Is not expected that the Huns left 1t in workable condition. With the falling off in production in the Welsh mines, every ounce of coal Is needed to carry the war to sue cessful conclusion.
 In the meantime, the cry for coal is as great in Europe as in this country with not enough labor to produce it in sufficient quantities to meet every need and condition.
 Not counting it's other vicissitudes, the anthracite industry is now con- tending with the ravages of the inf1u- enZa- From reports received yester- day from operating companies up- state. it is estimated that 10,000 mine workers are affected by the epidemic, either themselves or some member of their family. It visibly affects output with a daily loss of about 25,OoO tons. Some collieries are more affected than others throughout the anthracite re- | zion and depression results in general 1 work.
 Averaging 10 tons for a family winter supply of anthracite. this drop in output means a possible loss of coal to 2,500 families, as lost output now cannot very well be made up with a working force depleted s, ,0oO men.

REGENT EVENTS
 HAVE ENHANCED LOAN IMP PORTANCE
Wilson Says Failure to Reach Total Would Be
 Tragedy.

Washington, Oct. II With the declaration of President Wilson that "recent events have enhanced, not lessened, the importance of this loan" committees conducting campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan today ap- pealed to the American public not only to buy bonds, but to buy more bonds. Double your subscription" became a slogan in many communi- ties.
 Subscriptions to the loan today had reached only the one-third mark toward the goal of S6,O0o, ,000, 900. [ Total subscriptions as reported early ! today were slightly more than s2,- | 900, 900, 900 which means that pledges must average at least s6oo,0o0 each 1 day until the close of the campaign. ! Oct. 19.
 Over-subscrlptions of the loan is a matter of world importance at this
 time. President Wilson declared in a statement issued last night. "The best thing that could happen
 would be-" said the Presidents state ment that the loan should not only be fully subscribed, but very greatly over r-subscribed."

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has a11 the appear ance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs refers to an epidemic in 412 B: C.. which Is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every cen tury has had it's attacks. Beginning with 1891, this country has had five epideEnics, the last in 1S89-S0.
 There is no occasion for panic influenza itself has 8 very low per centage of fatalities-not over one death out of every 400 cases, accord ing to the NC Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications aris- ing, attacking princpally, patents in run dswn condition-those who don't go to bed soon enough, OF those who get up too early.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grippe, OF influenza as it is now called, usually begins with a chill fol- owed by aching, feverishness' and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a 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 mucueus membrane, or lin | ing of the air ages-nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, l often times a sore throat or tonsilitis and frequently all the appearances of a. severe head cold.
 THE TREATMENT
 1 Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake but to avoid spreading the disease to others-take a pur61tive, eat plenty of nourlshing floor, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry Quinine, aspirin or DoEer's Powder. etc., may be administered bJ the physicians directions to relieve the aching But there is no cure ol specific for influenza-the disease must run its course. but Nature vii throw off the attack if only you keeI up your strength. The chief danger lilies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bod lily resistance that there is danger O.
 pneumonia or bronchitis developing
 and sometimes inflammation of thu
 middle ear, or heart affections. Fol
 these reasons, it is very tmportan
 that the patient remain in bed unti his strength returns-stay in bed a least two days or more after tht
 fever has left you. or if you are ove l5o or not strong, stay in bed fou Adays or more according to the sever

than successful battle. The su- prene moment has come, no one can fail to see the importance of prompt action. Over-subscription at once will be an announcement to Germany that the American people stand back of the President, the government and the army and are ready to furnish the money necessary to win the war"

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE

Evidence seems to prove that this is germ disease, spread principally by human contact. cl'efy through coughing, sneezing or spitting So avoid persons having colds-whicb means avoiding crewds-common drinking cups, roller towels, etc Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, keep free from colds as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better, breeding places for the germs.
 Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For head cold, melt 8 little VapoRub in a spoon and jn- hale the vapers, OF better still. use VapoRub in benzoin steam kettle If this is not available. use an ordin- ary tea-kettie. Fill half-fuu of boil ling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to tiFae-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inf1ale

ity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs. to aid fin loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passa ges open. thus making the breathing cas- fer, Vick's VapoRub will be, found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts un- til the skin Is red, spread on thickIv and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths Leave the clothfng locse around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts af- fected. At the same time, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the | congestion within.

N0FEEick's VaPeRub is the dis covery of North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, ,Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu. bebs, etc, so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these IN, gradients are liberated in the form of vapors
 VapoRub is comparatively new Tn New York State and New England and a few Western States, where it is just now being introduced. but ip ths other sections of the country it is the standard home remedy in over a mil lion homes for all forms of cold trou- bles. Over six million jars were sold last year. It is particularly recom- menaed for children's croup or colds since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as de- sired without the slightest harmful effects. vapoRub can be had in three sizes at all drugsists.-AdT.

WARNING AGAINST HANDLING PICTURES OF ENEMY

The Committee on Public Infor- nation issues the following:
 The attention of the military cen sor has been directed to the fact that there are considerable stocks of still and motion pictures of enc my origin in the United States, and that their exploitation is being con stontlY attempted by certain inter- asts in this country.
 Publishers and editors, as well as motion-picture producers, dis triRuters and exhibitors, should realize that the object of such ex- proita ton is the furtherance of German propaganda here and that the sole intent is to influence pub lie opinion in America, or wherever such pictures are used, and that coust quently the military censor shiU will not approve such pictures, whether taken before or after our GAAll salsN G lAANO NLt VI ~44A CT they be prominently or other wise displayed, and regardless Of carticn matter or titles accompany inc them.
 The handling of these enemy pie tunes violates the Trading. with ths Enemy Act" Such pictures were taken solely for the glorifi- eaton of the German cause and German methods and their intro duction here is a part of subtle propaganda campaign which should be opposed wherever found.
 Violations of this request, and attempts to introduce such material, should be immediately reported to the Chief Military Intelligence Branch, Washington, D. C., where they will be promptly prosecuted

SCOUTS w. s. s. CAMPAIGN.

The year.long War Savings stamp campaign of the Boy Scouts of Ameri- ca is going along very merrily. Indeed the local War Savings stamp commit- tees throughout the country are en- thusiastic in reporting on the splendid spirit and effective cooperative work of the Boy Scouts of America.
 Many scouts have already earned the Achievement button given by the treas ury department when 25 sales are made to different people, and quite a few have the Ace medal for $25o in sales.
 Already 100000 red post cards have been printed by the government printing office and distributed, and S. 000,O00 more are now being printed, and If the demand keeps up as at pres- ent 1t will require at least 20,000.0O0 additional cards to take care of the needs of the scouts for the first four months.

APRopos SUGAR CONSERVATION

Some dissatisfaction has been caused by the late orders concern ing the consumption of sugar" says the Omaha World Herald, but the discontented must remember that the Food Administration is not to blame. They should direct their criticism at the German junkers and not at the administration. The shortage of sugar has been caused largely by the U-boats. There is plenty of sugar in the world, but tn lack of shipping and the sinking of sugar cargQes have caused all the trouble"
 Tn writer then goes on to say that the sacrifice the people are called on to mako is comparatively small and that in a few months the likelihood is that the need for it will pass.
 Meanwhile" he continues, let the grumblers think of the boys who are giving all for their coun- try who aer enduring cheerfully the sum of all hardships and danger and then look at himself in the mir TOT when he complains of being de priyed of the second spoonful of sursr for his coffee. One look should be enough"
