EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid in loosening
the phlegm and keeping the air pas
sages open, thus making the
breathing easier, 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 until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
Leave the clothing loose around the
neck as the heat of the body lib
crates the ingredients in the form
of vapors. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medica-
ton directly to the parts affected.
At the same time, VapoRub is abb
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face, and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease, spread principal
ly by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-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 lin
ing 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 a head cold.
melt a little VapoRub in a spoon
and inhale the vapors, or better still.
use VapoRub. in benzoin steam
kettle. If this is 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 dis
covery of a North Carolina drug
gist, who found how to combine, in
salve form, Menthol and Camphor
with such volatile oils as Eucalyp-
tus, Thyme, Cubebs, ETC., so that
when the salve is applied to the
body heat, these ingredients are lib
Grated in the form of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new
in New York State and New Eng.
land and a few Western states
where it is just now being intro.
duced, but in the other sections Of
the country it is the standard home
remedy in over a million homes for
ell forms Of cold troubles. Over
six million jars were sold last year.
1t is particularly recommended for
children's Group or colds, since it is
externally applied and therefore
can be. used as freely as desired
without the slightest harmful eff
fects. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all>druggists.-Ady.

ALWAYS CALI A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NJ O\SASlON rON EANlS
Spanish influenza, which ap-
peared in Spain in May, has all the
appearance of grip or la grippe,
which has swept over the world in
numerous epidemics as far back as
history runs. Hippocrates refers
to an epidemic in 412 B. c., which
is regarded by many to have been
influenza. Every century has had
it's attacks. Beginning with 1881,
this country has had five epidemics,
the last in 18S9-90.
There is no occasion for panic
influenza itself 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
complications arising, attacking
principally, patients in a rundown
condition-those who don't 60 to
bed soon enough, or those who get
up too early.
HE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza, as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness
and sometimes nausea and dizzi-
ness, and a general feeling of weak
ness and depression. The tempera-
ture is from 100 to 104, and the
fever usually lasts from three to five
days. The germs attack the mu-
cous membrane, or lining of the air
passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually hard
cough, especially bad at night. often
lines a sore throat or tonsilitis, and
frequently all the appearances of a
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake, but to
avoid spreading the disease to
others-take purgative, eat plenty
Of nourishing food, remain perfect
ly quiet and don't worry. Quinine,
aspirin or Dover's powder, etc, may
be administered by the physicians
directions to relieve the aching. But
there is no cure or specific for in
fluenza-the disease must run its
course, but Nature 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 re-
sistance that there is danger of
pneumonia or bronchitis developing,
and sometimes inflammation of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons. it is very important
that the patient remain in bed until
his strength returns-stay in bed
at least two days or more after the
fever has left you, or if you are

thousands of volunteers have been

In Washington the importance OF
the day as stimulus to the loan
is considered so great that most
government departments will sus-

and officials to give all their energy
to the loan. President Wilson will

WAGE DEMANDS ARE
FIGURED BY LANE
Says Increases Asked BY Union
Men Alone Will Amount To
$82,OO0,0OO a Year

WASHINGTON, February l3-The
first official indication Of what pro-
posed railroad wage increases would
cost was given at today's hearing be-
fore the Railroad Wage Commission,
when j. A. Franklin presented the
claims of the railway employees de-
ipartnent of the American Federation
of Labor
Figuring an average of thirty-three
and a third percent increase, on the
flat increases asked, the additional cost
would be $50 100000 annually" Secre-
tary Lane, chairman of the commission,
computed.
Franklin said the estimate seemed
correct, based upon increases for ESQ.,.
600 organized men, but he suggested
also that any increases should apply to
unOrganiZed workers of the same
trades, numbering about 100000, who
were not figured in the rough calcula
ton.
The wage basis asked was Sc a day
for skilled men such as carmen, ma
chinists and blacksmiths, $3.50 day
for skilled men, such as carmen, fol
overtime, Sunday and holiday work.

The foregoing telegram addressed to
A. Lewis Jr, viee-prssidept and man
ager Of the Bank of Hawaii, besides
giving notice Of another issue Of short
term treasury certificates at an in
creased rate of interest and stating
that these may be used in paying sub
scriptions for the coming third Liber-
ty Loan, raises a number of questions
in connection with the third loan.
1t is apparent that the government
faces a number of serious problems in
connection with the new loan that is
soon to be foated.
The first Liberty Loan bonds car
ried a rate of three and a half percent
interest. They were exempt from oil
taxation and could be exchanged for
subsequent issues carrying a higher
rate.
The second issue of Liberty Loan
bonds saw the interest rate increased
to four percent with the result that
most Of the purchasers of the original
issue of three and a half percent bonds
exercised their privilege of turning in
these bonds with the lower rate for
the newer issue. The second issue was
also exempt from all tax save the sur
tax, which was imposed so that ex-
ceedingly wealthy persons might not
be able to invest great sums and thus
avoid taxation.
Due to scarcity of money, recent
weeks have seen the new Liberty Loan
AS fall off and the current price now
Is between 90 and 81. As these bonds
carry the same privilege of conversion
that applied to the original issue, it
is seem that If the third issue of Lib
erty Loan bonds comes out at the same
rate of four percent, the government
will find itself in the position of offer
ing at par bonds that can be bought
in the open market around 96. If the
new issue should be brought out with
higher interest rate, the man who
buys the second issue in the open mar
ket at 90 has the privilege of convert
ing the bonds he buys into the bonds
carrying the higher rate.
Another method, kfhieh IT has been
| suggested may be followed when the
new issue is brought out is that it will
carry four percent and be offered by
! the government at 90. What effect this
might have on the price of the bonds
in the open market is matter of con
| lecture.
1t goes without saying that the Ma
| ton will speedily absorb the next and
additional issues of Liberty Loan
bonds, but it is also sure that many
difficult and intricate problems will
have 70 be solved by the government
when the new bonds come out.
