The unusual request for citizenship
papers for native OF Marshall county
caused some surprise Monday In tho
office Of the clerk OF courts. Harry IL.
Wolken. a native OF Dillon. was tho ar-
plicant. Mr.. wolken. once a citisen OF
the United states. surrendered his ciu-
zenshlp TO become subject Of King
George OF England. and has returned
TO his native town and wishes again
to enjoy the privileges 20 be derived
from American citizenship.
Misinterpretatlon Of legal advice
robs the applicant OF two years OF citi-
zenship, and altho he might today be
legally an American he must wait two
more rounds OF the months before he
can enjoy the franchise.
Mr.. Wolken lost citizenship when he
went to Canada and took up land, be-
coming a citizen OF that country to oh
tain title TO his holdings. Five years
ago he returned TO the United States.
On his return he consulted attorneys
and was told he must wait i've years
before he could again claim to be a le-
gal subject of,Uncle Sam. Wolken In
terpreted this to mean that he could
not make application until he had been
here Ave years.
The five-year period of residence ak
pired last week. and Monday Wolken
hurried to the clerk of tho courts. ex-
pecting to secure his papers without
long formalities. He discovered. how
ever. that 1t would require two years
to complete the work Of securing the
papers. His legal advisors had at
tempted to convey the Information that
1t would require Ave Year, rssidenoe
in the United States to become a citi-
zen but he could have applied for oiti-
zenship at any time after his arrival
and could have secured his papers at
the expiration Of the fivs-year period.

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

Spanish Influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, mas swept over the
world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history runs Hippocrates re-
fers to an epidemic in 412 b.. c., which
is regarded by many to have been in
f~luenza. Every century has had its
attacks. Beginning with 1881, this
country has had five epidemics, the
last in 1Ss9-90.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as 1t is now call
ed. usually begins with a chill follow
ed by aching, feverishness and some
times nausea and dizziness, and a
general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lin
ing OF the air passages-nose, throat
and bronchial tubes-there is usually
a hard cough, especially bad at night,
often times q sore throat or tonsils.
and frequently all the appearances of
a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative, cat 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 con-
serve your strength. A little Quinine,
Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call a doc
tor, since the chief danger of grip is
in its weakening effect on the system,
which allows complications to develop.
There are chiefly pneumonia and
bronchitis. sometimes Inflammation of
the middle ear, or heart affections.
For these reasons. 1t is very import
ant that the patient remain i'm bed un-
til his strength returns-stay in bed
at least two days or more after the fe-
yer has left you, or il you are owe so
or not strong, stay in bed o days
or more according to the severity OF
the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages TO throw off the grip
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open,
thus making the breathing easier,
Vick's VapoRub will be found effec-
tive. Hot. wet towels should be APP
Piled over the throat, chest and back
between the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then VapoRub should he
in over the parts until the skin
is red. spread on thickly and covered
with two thicknesses Of hot flannel

body liberates the ingredients in the
form OF vapors. These vapors, in
hailed with each breath. carry the
medication directly to the parts af-
fected. At the same time, VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates
the skin. attracting the blood to the
surface. and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
fluenza or grip 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, alta cking prin-
cipally patients In "A run down condi-
iion-those who don't go to bed soon
enough, or those who get up too
early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems 10 prove that this is
a germ disease. spread principally 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.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all. avoid colds. as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very.
first sign of n old For a head cold.
melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vapors. or better stfil, use
VapoRub in n benzoin steam kettle. II
iris is not available. use an ordinary
teakettie. Fill haIf-full of boiling wa
ter. put in half a teaspoon of Vapo-
Rub from time to time-keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhalei
the steam arising.
NOTE-Vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery OF a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salye
form, Menthol and Camphor with
such volatile oils as Eucalyptus,
Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when the
salve is applied to the body heat,
these ingredients are liberated in the
form of vapors. yapoRub can be had
in three sizes at all druggists. While
comparatively newgin certain parts of
the North, IL Is the standard home
remedy in the South and West for all
forms of cold troub1esAover six mill
lion jars were sold last year. VapoRub
is particularly recommended for chill
dren's Group or colds, as II is ex-
~ternally applied and can, therefore, be
freely and often without the
slightest harmful effects.
