Of Spanish Influenza in

New York, Dec. 5-The Spanish in
fuenza epidemic which swept this
country during the autumn stole
millions of the best years of life
from American manhood and wo-
manhood, Henry Moir, an insurance
authority of this city, declared here
today.
The average economic loss of ac-
tive life in each case of death from
the malady or it's aftermath was at
least % years, said Mr.. Moir, en-
phasizing the Popularity of the cpl
demie. which found most of its vic
Tins under 80 years of age, compared
with the average life of So and SO
years of persons insured in we'll es-
tablished companies.
Addressing the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents, Mr.. Moir, who
is president of the Acturial Society
of America, described how the cpl
demio had dislocated the standard
mortality experience of the insurance
companies in the past Is years. With
no pestilence taking toll of lives in
the United States and Canada during
that period, he said, the standards of
health Of persons under so were
found to be better than at any re-
corded time in the past. But the
influenza epidemic. causing s6,S2S
death in A large cities in eight
weeks, or an average Of four Of ev-

In any case it is clear that the

Reeapitulating the total American
casualties, a36,10s men as already
announced. Mr.. Baker said the
deaths due to battle alone were 49,
COO and that half of the wounded
reported probably suffered slight
injury" He adds that Federal bat
tie fatalities in the Civil War to-
tailed 10000; Japan lost $4,000 men
in the usso-Japanese war and
Germany lost 2S,600 in the Franco
Prussian war.

given a more hopeful aspect during the
past few days when shipments have
been resolved that have kept the local
dealers busy delivering the fuel to their

while stove coal is conspicuous by its
absence, the dealers being unable to OBJ,

The situation locally is much bright
err than it was year ago. when the

confident of being able to take care of
the fuel needs of a majority OF their

COLD WEATHER
BRINGS RETURN OF
INFLUENZA
Public Must. 30 Careful to Avoid A
Second Epidemic. Easier to Pre-.
vent Than Cure. What to Do

Encouraging reports of the fewer
cases of Influenza in this vicinity
should not allow us to relax our vigj-
lance or to become careless in the be-
lief that the danger is all over" says
a we'll known authority. With the
coming of cold weather there is apt
to be return of this frightful cpl
demic and ! seriousness will depend
on the extent Of the precautions,
taken by the public, to prevent infec-
ton.
When the air is full of influenza
germs, you may be constantly breath
ing them into your nose and throat.
But their danger may be avoided and
you may make yourself practically
imNune to infection if you destroy
the germ before it actually begins
work in your blood.
During the recent serious epidemic,
which hit Augusta SO hard, most sue
cessful results were obtained by many
through the simple breathing into the
nose, throat and lungs of the medical
ted air of oil of Hyomei. Probably no
pSltSAs SdACA vi NtOtS oSAStNAG III VNdu-
tons against Influenza. Grippe,

of the nose and throat could be EN-.
ployed than to 60 now to the nearest
drug store and get q complete Hyo-
mel outfit consisting of a bottle Of the
pure Oil of Hyomei and a little vest
pocket hard rubber inhaling device
into which few drops of the oil are
poured. ~
Carry this Inhaler with you during
the day and each halt hour or SO put
it in your mouth and draw deep
breaths Of its pure healing sermicidal
air into the passages Of your nose,
throat and lungs to destroy any germs
that may have found Judgement there.
This simple precaution may save you
a serious illness and the loss of sew
eral weeks work. 1t is pleasant to
use and not at all expensive as the
inhaler will last lifetime and further
supplies " the Oil OF Hyomei can be
had at any drug store for few cents.
Hundreds OF people in this vicinity
used Hyomei in this way during the
recent crisis and avoided danger.
They should not neglect it now for
the danger is by no means over.
