Health
lSnecial 10 The Calednnianl

Especial to The Caledonian)
Burlington, Oct. 16-The State
Board of Health have issued the fol-
lowing bulletin upon the care of in
fluenza and how to avoid it:
All attendants on patients suffering
from influenza should wear a mask.
This warning is sent out by the Yer

The masks may be made very simp-
ly as follows: Three layers of butter
cloth or five to seven layers of fine
mesh cheesecloth so fastened that it
will cover the nose and mouth They
should never be handled while being
worn. After using a mask at one
place it should be placed in a paper
bag and should not be used again un-
til it has been boiled at least five
minutes. Local chapter of the Red
Cross will supply these masks, or they
can be easily made at home.
Attendants should also wear an
apron o. gown over the ordinary
clothes and not remove this from the
sick-room except wrapped in a paper
and not use it for other purposes un-
til it. has been boiled at least five
minutes. The paper wrapped fol
both masks and apron should not be
carelessly left but Immediately burn
ed after use. These precautions are
especially important to those who
must necessarily attend to other
household duties.
II there is patient in your house
boil every article coming from the
sick-room. Keep all but authorized
attendants out of the sick-roo@n. II
one must come in contact with the
patient wash your hands thoroughly
with soap and water afterwards.
The Board gives a few simple pre-
cautions that must be constantly OBJ
served.
First is cleanliness. Shun public
towels, public drinking cups, keep out
of dirty restaurants and taboo dirty
bookstores. Keep away from soda
fountains unless they provide sani-
tary paper cups and wooden or other
spoons that are used only once. Boil
all dishes. Wash the hands before
handling food and before all meals.
Cover every cough and sneeze with
handkerchief OF cloth and either
boil or burn the same after use.
Keep away from crowds. Do youl
visiting in the open air.
Keep out OF doors as much as pos
sible. Dress warmly.
Keep your windows opened al
night; add bed clothes but do moi
subtract fresh air.
Get plenty of sleep. Don't worry
If you feel sick so to bed at once
and send for a physician. If the ply
sician cannot come at once take a
! laxative. Drink plenty of water anc
eat light simple food as milk, eggs
and toasts.
Don't try to get up untilsthe ply
sician gives you permission.

New York Cotton.

New York, April 16-There was re-
 newed excitement and further
 sensational break in prices at open. , ing of the market today. Liverpool
 cables reported the full maximum
 break of 100 points permitted for the
 day in the markets there before the local opening with sellers at the low
 prices, and there was further active Liverpool selling around the local
 ring as we'll as continued general li- quidation. The opening was 100 to ll3 points lower on old crop positions with May selling at 27.95 and July at 27.40 during the call. Late deliveries opened at a decline of A to 60 points with October selling at 26.00 and De-
 cember at 26.45 during the first few minutes. No fresh bearish feature
 was in evidence, but sentiment was ex- tremely nervous and unsettled and li-
 quidation was probably stimulated by i reports that the break in the futures had checked demand for both spot cotton and goods. The suspension of
 local floor broker was announced,
 but it was considered of little or no
 influence on the market.
 The heavy early offerings were ab- sorbed around 27.4O for July and 26OO for October or about 12O to 140 points
 under last nights closing figures. Lat
 CT the market seemed to have been
 pretty we'll liquidated and the cover
 ing movement started which became extremely active and excited during the middle of the day. Bullish spot advices and belief that the weekly weather report tomorrow would com ment unfavorably on recent low tenn. peratures stimulated the disposition to take profits on short cotton. Stop orders were uncovered and the ad- vance was almost as rapid as the ear Her decline with July selling up to 28.8S and October to 27.75. or 148 to 175 points above the low level of the
 morning and 28 to B points net higher.
 The covering movement seemed to have pretty we'll run its course before
 the end of the noon hour and the mar ket was quiet toward o'clock with prices sagging off from the best under renewed liquidation or realizing by
