THE SYMPTOMS.

Grip, or influenza as it is now
called. usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, fevetishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling of weakness and
depression. The temperature is
from 100 to l04. and the fever usual
ly lasts from three 10 five days. The
germs attack the mucus membrane,
or lining of the air passages-nose,
throat and bronchial tubes-there
Is usually a hard cough. especially
bad at night, often times a sore
throat or tonsllitis, and frequently
all the appearances OF a severe head

THE TREATMENT.

Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative, eat plenty of nour-
ishing food, remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry. Nature herself is
the only cure" for influenza and
will throw off the attack IL only you
conserve your strength. A little
Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Powder
may be given by the physicians dl-
rections to allay the aching. Always
call a doctor. since the chief danger
OF grip is in its weakening effect on
the System, which allows complica-
tions to develop, These are chiefly
pneumonia and bronchitis, some
times inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections, For these
reasons. 1t 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 II you are over so
or not strong, stay in bed four days
or more, according to the severity OF
the attack.

THE PRESIDENT TO FIX
THE PRICE OF COTTON

Washingt on-President Wilson will
fix the price Of raw cotton by presi-
dental proclamation in the next few
days, according to tke Information of
Representative Lee Robinson. who Is
himself a big cotton farmer and in
close touch with developments here.
While there is strong opposition to
the proposed plan OF stabilzing cot.
ton prices by governmental action, Il
appears inevitable when the whole
situation is considered.
The crop for 1918 is estimated at
100000 bales. The war needs of
the allies, including the United
States, will reach 5000 900, leaving
only 100000 bales for civilian use.
Whenever the government becomes
the dominant buyer OF any commod.
lty, this in itself regulates the price
which civilian buyers must pay for
the same article, and that is the sit,
uation with respect to cotton. The
governments program of price
sterilization only contemplates that
the President will name a price for
the cotton which the government pur.
chases for itself and its allies.

The President in London.

President Wilson's welcome to Lon
don yesterday was vociferous and sim
cere. The British capital accorded the
American executive reception that
has never been exceeded for warmth,
noise and display on the occasion of
any European potentate's arrival.
The demonstration be6tted the occa-
sion. It was great moment when the
head of the American state entered the
capital of the country that originally
governed the colonies from which our
republic was formed. 1t was the con-
Guiding act of a union of spirit that
has been in progress during more than
four years, and it was doubtless so
recognized by the people of London.
With all the differences and issues
that have arisen from time to time
since the revolution, there has been
a community of interest between the
British and the American people. The
use of common tongue has held them
in real kinship. On the great scale of
world affairs their interests have been
virtually identical. Throughout this
war they have recognized the common
foe as a menace that had to be per-
manently checked, and they have
fought shoulder to shoulder in effective
harmony. In the Canadian forces,
serving under the British flag before
the United States entered the war, we're
many Americans, drawn into the con-
fict by sense of duty.
When the first American troops
passed through London months ago
King George received them and waxed
enthusiastic over them, and freely de-
clared his belief that they had come
as saviors of the situation. There is no
jealousy on the score of the perform
ances of the two armies. There was
certainly no friction in the co-opera-
ton of the two fleets.
President Wilson's presence in Lon
don is one Of the best results Of his
departure from American precedent in
leaving the territory of the United
States and the effect cannot fail to be
enduring and valuable.

The Popularity of the Navy.

New York yesterday greeted with
great warmth the warships returned
from European waters, where they had
rendered war service. Untoward
weather had no effect on the program.
The crowds we're enormous, and mani
festations of admiration and gratitude
abundant and convincing.
We're it possible to send these ships
the full length of the Hudson river,
yesterdays demonstration, for hearth
ness, would be repeated all the way.
Interior New York would respond, as
the great city by the sea did, to the
merits of the sea fighters. They would
everywhere receive assurance of ap-
probation Of their record, and of what
they signify in the nations fighting
equipment.
The same would be true if these ships
could ascend the Mississippi and the
Ohio rivers to their sources. All along
that journey the people would crowd to
the waterside to testify to their pleas
ure at beholding war craft so famous
and SO worthy.
And it is easy to imagine the scene
in this town if these ships dropped
anchor in the Potomac here; what their
reception would be, and what enthu-
Siasm would be shown If their crews

Transfer Points Proposed.

Publication of the intercompany
transfer points recommended by the
Public Utility Commissions traffic ex-
pert will enable the public to analyze
the matter thoroughly before the hear
ing is held on the eth of January, and
there should be a full expression of
opinion at that meeting as a guide to
the commission. At eight of the points
proposed the companies are willing to
exchange reciprocal transfers, though
at some of them the commissions ex-
pert urges a fuller privilege than the
companies now concede. He also
names eight additional transfer points.
Certain of these are obviously indi-
Gated as required by the public con-
venience.
This intercompany transfer privilege
is designed for two purposes, to give
the public access on a one-fare basis
to parts of the city now reached only
by the payment of two fares, and to
relieve the car congestion by permit
ting the transportation of the people
with less hauling than under the pres
emit arrangement. If by holding to the
cars of one company it is possible for
a passenger to reach his destination
approximately by a roundabout route
and transfer will carry him there by
a much shorter route gain not wholly
in the passengers interest will be eff
feeted by giving him the transfer
privilege. There are some parts of
the city which cannot be reached from
other parts save on a two-fare basis.
These should assuredly be covered by
the transfer arrangement.
The commission will doubtless have

we're paraded on Pennsylvania avenue.
Such exhibitions are denied the Navy.
There is not water enough in the
rivers for such a purpose. And so the
people in the interior Of the country
have to take the Navy on trust from
description. They do not become ac-
quainted with it, as with units of the
Army.
Nevertheless, the Navy is popular
throughout the country-in the in
terror, as on the coast. The people are
familiar with its exploits in all our
wars, and believe in the amplest pro-
vision for it.
In nothing it might do at this time,
when so much is under proposition and
consideration, could Congress win more
cordial popular approval than by vot-
ing all the supplies necessary to bring
the Navy up to the adequacy demanded
by to, new order of things. The
ships in being are of the best, and
capitally handled. But their number
should be materially increased. In
both of the great oceans the American
sea power should for size command
the attention and respect of the world.
Our obligations in both are heavy, and
we should not ask or expect assistance
in discharging them.
The naval program now before Con-
gress has the support of both the
President and Secretary Daniels, and
should be adopted.

German state-Making.

Suggestion of the composition Ct a
future German state, including group
of seven republics, is offered by an Off
cial at Dresden, who is evidently pro-
ceeding on the assumption that there
will be no territorial changes in the
map when peace is finally arranged.
He proposes, for instance, one organl-
cation comprising lower Saxony, Han
over, Lippe, Brunswick, Lubbock and
|Schleswig Holstein; again, Rhineland,
including Baden, Alsace, Pfalz, Rhe-
nisb Hesse, Rhine province. Hesse-
Nassau and Westphalia; also, Branden-
burg and Prussia, with Mecklenburg,
Pomerania, Posen and Silesia; and
German Austria with Viermark,
Kaeuntus and the Tyrol.
In the Encouragement of the map it
| is practically certain that Schleswig Gf
not Holstein) will be restored to Den
| mark. from which the territory was nm
justly taken in the course of Bis
narck's scheme of empire; that Alsace
(Which includes Lorrainel will be re-
turned to France, looted il 1871 in the
course of the same process; that the
provinces of Silesia and Pcsen will in
whole or in part 60 into the rev Polish
state, and that a large part of the
Austrian Tyrol will 60 to Italy, to
which it rightfully belongs.
Slater making in Germany is all sub
ject to a higher decision than that Of
he German people themselves. They
must wait for the official map-makers
ut Paris to run the lines before they
can determine just what areas are to
remain in Germany. No one should
have the least doubt about Schleswig,
Alsace- Lorraine, Poland and the south
ern .Tyrol, however. 1t is inconceiv-
able that the German flag should in
the future float over them.
