GASOLINE CONSERVATION.

According to dispatches from Washington,
gasiess Sundays will soon be abandoned. w. c..
Robinson, chief of the fuel administrators oil
conservation division, has indicated that new
program would be carried out, but what this
program will be has not yet been made clear.
One thing which seems certain, however, is
that gasoline must and will be conserved. It is
probable that the restrictions will it's daily
use instead of being applied only one day in each
week.
In England, since that nation entered the war,
the use of motor cars has been discouraged, ex-
cept at time of necessity. The same should be
true in this country, where the reckless waste of
gasoline continues and the owner of car who
denies himself its use once week, considers that
he has done something more or less heroic.

DETROIT STREET CLEANING.

The end of the old and much-criticised system
of street cleaning has been announced by HI. H.
Esselstyn, new commissioner of public works of
Detroit. He is working out new method. I'm
der the present system each ward has a separate
appropriation, foreman and gang for it's street
cleaning, the amount of the appropriation usual
ly depending on the pull of the aldermen of
the ward It has resulted in practically FL sep
arate and unrelated street cleaning systems.
Each gang has had variety of problems to meet
as it's ward territory took in the variegated dis
tricts extending north from the river, in nearly
every instance covering slIns and unrestricted
residential neighborhoods. Under the new plan
the city will be divided into districts according to
kind and density of population. In congested
localities, inhabited chiefly by foreign elements,
the zones will be small and the gangs equipped
with special apparatus to meet special problems.
Other gangs will be assigned to residential dis
essary to procure the m ost efficient results
Through the change it is hoped to obtain cleaner
streets without extra outlay of money. The COM
missioner is striving too, and declared he would
keep Detroit streets in good condition the pres
ent appropriations, which would break the rec
ord, these funds usually being depleted before the
end of the fiscal year. Beside the gain in eff
cheney and cleanliness the change will rid the
street cleaning department Of the last vestige of
politics.

London, Oct. 15.-German raiding
operations-while the German was
strong enough in the air to make such
raids-consisted chiefly in attacks on
civilian centers-London, Paris-and
the Smelling of hospitals and hospital
trains.
Allied air strategy has had military
effectiveness rather than terrorism for
it's aim. Specific points where NUM-
tons were manufactured or stores
could be destroyed were the targets.
This is the difference between the
German air hooligans and the allied
soldiers Of the air.
In three months the Eablon rail-
way station at Metz has been raided
3s times. Thionvilie, under German
occupation. has received 81 attacks
from the air. Both were close to the
western front air bases. Each has
been a concentration point for German
supplies, the junction Of the strategic
railways Of the Lorraine front and
the whole of the lower Rhine BASIN
These raids on railway detectives
played a great part in May in the
checking of the German advance. OF
total of 55 raids in May alone. At
had their objective railway sta
tions, sidings or bridges.
The Bodische factory at Mannheim,
principal source Of Germanys poison
gas has been raided repeatedly, two
tons of bombs being dropped in one of
the attacks, Results, shown in col
umns of black smoke and later in pho
tographs revealing fallen roofs and
blackened Orders, have been very sat
isfactory.
Daimler Motor Works at Stuff
CART, where the famous Daimler en-
gines are built, has been a favored
point of attack. The Bocshe Magne-
to Works, whose world monopoly is
now destroyed, has had it's showers Of
bombs. Factories, stations, barracks
at Frankfort and Cologne and numer-
GUS aerodromes have been shefled
from the air.

Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in
Alp 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 cpl
denies, the last in 18Ss-s0.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill fol-
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 104. and the fever usually lasts

bronchial tubes--there is usually a
hard cough, especially bad at night,
often times a sore throat or tonsilitis.
and frequently all the appearances of
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 perfectly 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 spe-
cific for inf1uenza-the disease must
run its course, but nature herself will
throw of the attack IL only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the body
resistance that there is danger of
pneumonia or bronchitis developing
and sometimes 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

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this 1;
germ disease, spread principally BY
human contact, chiefly thru coughing
sneezing or splitting. So avoid per-
sons having colds-which means
avoiding crowds-common bringing
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 irrl.
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vicks VapoRub at the very
first sign of cold. For a head cold
melt a little 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 teaspoonful OF VapoRu5
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling, and inhale the
steam arising.
.Note-vick' VapoRub is the discoy-
cry of a North Carolina druggist, who
found how to ombine in salve form
Menthol and Camphor with such es-
sential oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme.
Cubebs, ETC., so that when the salye
is applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form OF
vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new IN
New York, New England and few
western states, where it is just nov
being introduced. In other sections
OF the country, however, it is the
standard home remedy in over a mil
lion homes for all forms OF cold trou
bIes-more than six million Jars were
sold last year.

TO FIGHT INFLUENZA.

The following practical, sensible expression
from the New York Sun has been sent to The
Journal with request for it's publication. While
It applies to New York particularly it's advice is
equally applicable to Pensacola:
1t is highly important that all citizens should
obey the directions of the Health Department in
its struggles to prevent the spread of influenza !;
and the first thing the Health Department ought
10 tell the citizens to do is to maintain their
usual mental equilibrium. A frightened nerv-
GUS, fearfllad population offers fertile field for
n1align germs
The influenza is neither new nor particularly
mysterious We have had other visitations SIM
liar in every respect to that which now afflicts u.s..
Personal cleanliness, a sensible diet abstention
from excuses of food and drink plenty of rest,
are recommended for all exposed to it; persons
VINO care for themselves properly are pretty sure
TO escape serious illness. The advice to avoid
crowds is excellent; all who can do so should
keep out of the crush, but who can live in New
FORK without getting into crowd? Yet even
in the most congested hours of the day, care
2oout sneezing, coughing and expectorating will
reduce the danger of transmitting or catching
New York has had no epidemic that has pro-
duced such agitation as we now endure since
the infantile paralysis fright of 1916. That I'M

sands of persons. It's lesson should not be for

hc Fortunately for the city, DR.. Copeland the
health commissioner, has not allowed himself to
be stampeded. He has taken the necessary pre-
cautions calmly and quietly, and has done every
thing that lies in his power to prevent avoidable
suffering. The regulations covering the OPEN
ing and closing of business places which went
into effect yesterday are being enforced through
the cheerful cooperation of the business COM
n'unity without excitement. Their observance
ought to do something to check the progress of

TRYING TO PREVENT
1918 COAL SHORTAGE

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Several
hundred of the country's leading min
ing engineers gathered here today for
the 10th meeting of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers. The
session opened with discussions of
coal production problems and meth
DDS designed to prevent a more ex-
tended coal famine next year were
proposed. This is only one of sever
al important mining war problems
which the engineers will take up dur
ing their four days convention.
Wasteful methods of operation in
the extraction of the country's coal
and the indifference of the miner in
these days of higher wages were al
legged as the chief shortcomings at the
sources of coal supply by George S..
Rice, of Washington. Mr.. Rice stated
that although the United States pro-
dueed about forty per cent. of the
worlds coal supply, the country has
never been very large factor in the
distribution. He attributed this to an
absence Of shipping and foreign dis
tribution facilities and a lack Of care
in preparing the coal for shipment,
especially in the matter of sizinfi.
In the course of the session on
coal the engineers were shown the
results of experiments which tended
to prove the economy of electricity ov-
er steam for power purposes in and
about mines.
Technical sessions were also held on
non-ferrous metallurgy, which includ'
ed such subjects for discussion as the
disadvantages of chrome brick in cop
per reverberatory furnaces, zinc rein
ing and bone ash cupels.
Later in the day the mining engi-
ncers inspected the most recently OPP
ened New York City subways, which
presented obstacles in mining that
have seldom been surmounted.
