Surgeon General Blue Issues Warning for People to
Take Proper Precautions

DR.. Rupert Blue, surgeon general of
the United States public health serv-
ice, wants the public and the authori-
ties to be on guard against the recur-
renee this fall of the influenza cpl
demic. In a statement issued last
week, he says that the most promising
way to deal with this situation is ex-
pressed in the word preparedness,
"and NOW is the time to prepare" the
surgean general added
DIR. Otto Feier of Cincinnati, Secre-
tary Of the American Medical Associa-
ton, says, "if you hope to keep your
health this autumn, get yourself in the
pink of physical condition, and take
all possible precautions to avoid infec-
ton. The Flu is going to hit us again
and the amount of damage it will do
depends largely upon how we'll we
prepare for it. In the face of this GER
tainty that we will have to combat in
fiuenza this fall, we are totally unpre-
pared to do So"
Doctors are agreed that precautlon-
airy measures are more necessary than
ever before. The secret of avoiding
influenza is to keep the germs from
lodging and developing in the respir-
atory organs-the mouth, nose and
throat. The utmost cold, for colds
weaken the resistance to influenza
germs. No one should be allowed to

A frame residence owned by Attor-

1t is thought that the fire originated
from an overheated stove In the build

entire TRAIN IS
STOLEN SUNDAY
AT AILLSBORO, 0.
Theft Of Entire Railroad Train at
Hillsboro Sunday Is or Equaleb
by Theft Of Steamboat Here
Years Ago.

Hillsboro, Ohio, November 17.-An
entire Baltimore and Ohio passenger
train engine, baggage car and
coaches-was stolen" Sunday by a
former soldier, believed to be insane,
who took a ride down the branch line
toward Manchester until the steam
pressure was exhausted and the train
stopped near Russells Station, where
the "wild" engineer was captured.
Efforts are being made to Identify
the prisoner, who is said to be John
or Adam Barnes, of this vicinity. Ac-
cording to reliable reports Barnes
first was seen seated in the smoking
car about noon. The train had ar
rived from Manchester and the crew
was at dinner. Hillsboro Is the end
of the branch line and the train at 3
o'clock.
The Waterman states that shortly
after he saw Barnes, in the coach his
duties took him to the depot and a
few minutes later, he says, he was as
tonished to hear whistle from the
engine. Rushing to the door he saw
the train pulling out. The unusual
occurrence attracted instant attention.
crowd took up the pursuit in auto
mobiles, the train crew in the lead.

ing at tremendous speed, with the
whistle apparently tied down, as its
steady shrieking alarmed the country
side. Near Russells Station the steam
pressure was exhausted
Pursuers soon arrived on hand
car from a nearby section and invited
the wild engineer to take ride. He
agreed and rode a handcar into Lynch
burg, where he was detained until the
arrival of Sheriff Erwin, of Hillsboro,
who confined Barnes in Jail. The train
was not damaged and was brought
back to Hillsboro and lett on its regu
lar schedule, although somewhat de-
layed. The prisoner tells confusing
tales, also claiming to be John Barnes,
of Akron.
His excuse for stealing" the train
is that he had an engagement in New
ark and could not wait. Had he wait
ed an hour a number Of passengers
would have been aboard the train. AS
1t was, Barnes had his wild" ride
alone.

b'eathe in your face because the
germs are often q transmitted in this

LIQUID be used frequently. Physicians
endorse the use Of the antiseptics to
Protect the air passages. Turpo Is an
effective antiseptic, combining the old
fashioned remedies of turpentine, cam
phor and menthol in a pure mineral
base. These ingredients have long
been recognized as effective antisep-
tics, as well as having really wonder
full qualities in relieving colds and
congestion. AS preventive for Flu,
snuff a little Turpo up the nostrils
several times day, and the Flu germs
will have little chance Of getting a
lodging and breeding place. Many
physicians and hospitals use and rec
ommend Turpo.
The fact that for the week, there
were nine hundred cases of influenza
reported to the United Health Service
makes 1t important that you prepare
now. Buy a thirty cent lar Of Turpo

supply on hand, and use as directed

SeG-Determinadon
Principle Recognized
by Labor Commission

Paris, March 23.-Announcement
was made by the peace conference
commission in international labor
legislation that the only thing re-
naming for the commission to do
it to draw up its final report to the
peace conference.
In recognition of the principles of
self-determination in labor ques-
tions the labor commission intro
duced clause into its report pro-
viding that no recommendation or
draft convention shall in any case
be accepted or applied so as to
diminish the protection already ac-
corded to workers by the existing
laws of any of the high contracting
parties"
The intention of the clause is to
safeguard legislation already in
effect in any country which might
be regarded by that country as bet
ter tor the workers than that recon-
mended by the labor bureau. The
report was largely a discussion of
the seamen's act in the United
States and recognition of the pos
sibility that the bureau might make
recommendations on that subject
which, while improving the condi.
ton of seamen generally, would not
measure up to the standard fixed
by the United States.
The labor commission has def
Eitely decided that the findings of
the bureau must be supported by
moral suasion in countries where
special problems exist, rather than
by invoking any force the league of
nations might offer.

State of Wisconsin
Reports Big Profits
From Boxing Coates D

Milwaukee, Wis, March 23.-
Wisconsin profited to the extent of
approximately $4,000 from its 5 per
cent share of the receipts from box
ing bouts in the last two years, &C
cording to the biennial report of the
boxing board.
The report shows that the state
collected $37,98932 since the sport
was legalized. The expenses Of the
commission have been $2l,587.61,
leaving a balance of more than $lo,-
600 in favor of the state.
In addition to the war, the cpl
demic of influenza cut into the re-
ceipts of the commission as the
sport was just getting back on its
feet when the "flu" ban gave it an
other setback.
Walter H. Linginger, chairman of
the commission, said interest in the
sport was growing as the soldiers
returned from camp and abroad and
that number of clubs in different
parts of the state are negotiating
for licenses.
One thing emphasized in the re-
port is the increase in amateur box
ing.

Omaha and Council Bluffs wrest-
ling fans will have an opportunity to
i judge whether Jack Reynolds, well
terweight champion is very much
better than the little local star, Yer
non Breedlove, featherweight cham
pion, when the latter wrestles Jack
Finn at the Bluffs Auditorium
Wednesday night. Breedlove lost to
Reynolds in a Cedar Rapids, Ia,
match a couple of weeks ago. To-
night Finn meets Reynolds in Cedar
Rapids in a finish match and
Wednesday night will take Breed
love on The weller champion will
have a great advantage in the
weights, as Finn is considerably
under the welter limit and will
weigh $50 pounds or less for the
Breedlove match. If Vernon can do
better than Reynolds against Finn it
is likely that another bout will be
arranged between the two cham
pions.
Business men of Gordon, Neb., are
anxious to see whether John Pesek
is of championship calibre or not,
and they have dubbed together and
raised a purse of $4,000 for match
between the Shelton farmer boy and
Joe Stecher, each of the wrestlers to
get $4,000 for the bout. Pesek's man.
ager, Mart Slattery, has already &C
cepted for his man and it only re-
mains for Stecher to announce his
willingness. Slattery says this fig
ure is greater than Stecher ever re-
ceived for any one match and if he
refuses the match it will only prove
that Joe really fears a meeting with
Pesek. The Gordon people want
finish match, best two out of three
falls and they state that they will
give the men their money before
they 60 on the mat. Looks like we'll
have a championship match of our
own, right here in the state before

Cuban Meets Greek IN
DeOro-Copulos Three
Cushion Title Match

Chicago, March 23.-Cuban and
Greek will clash when Champion
Alfredo DeOro defends the worlds
three cushion billiard title against
Gus Copulos at Detroit, March II
to %.
1t will be the first time in the his
tory of the three cushion classic
that two players born outside the
North American continent have met
in match for the championship.
DeOro, who, for quarter of a
century, has been one of the great
est figures in the billiard world, was
born in Cuba, Sc years ago. For
many years he was the premier
pocket billiard player of the world,
and then taking up three cushion
billiards, he became the leader at
that style of sport, gaining perma-
nent possession of the Jordan Lam
bert trophy, the original worlds
champion emblem, in 1914.
In succeeding years he won the
championship twice and then, when
it looked as if the younger masters
had finally passed him, he made a
wonderful comeback last month and
defeated Augie Kieckhefer, $50 to
14S, after the Chicago southpaw
had won eight straight matches
and seemed likely to win the en-
blem outright.
Copulos, who will make his first
essay for the title, was born in
Sparta, Greece, January p, 1894, but
came to this county when an in
FAINT. After leaving school he took
up pocket Billiards and went to work
in a grocery store. He practiced
shooting potatoes with a broom
until the boss caught him. Later
he travelled for confectionery firm
and had pocket games with some OF
the leading players in the country.
He took up three cushion billiards
in 1912. His latest success was Win
ming the Detroit city championship

SOLDIERS NEED
NO ATTORNEY IN
FILM CLAIMS
Payment of Fees Needless
Expense Army Men Are
Advised by War
Department.

Washington, March 23.-Officers
and enlisted men discharged from
the service will not expedite settle
nent of their claims for arrears in
pay by placing them in the hands
of attorneys or claim agents, said
a statement issued today by the
War department. 1t was explained
that adjustment of claims thus pre-
sented was delayed "by reason of
additional filing and handling of un-
necessary papers of the interme-
diary"
"The claims of the soldier is all
that is required,p said the statement,
"and such claims should be submit
ted directly by the discharged Off
Ger or soldier to the War depart
ment director of finance, who will
give them as prompt consideration
as possible. Any fee paid by the
soldier to all attorney or claim agent
is needless expense"
Claims for the 500 additional
bonus authorized in the war revenue
act, the department said, should be
sent to the zone finance officer at
Washington and the application
should be accompanied by certi-
fed copy of the discharge certih-
cate to be made by the nearest re-
cruiting officer, a statement of all
military service since the declara-
ton of war against Germany and
the address to which the check
should be sent.
Claims for arrears of pay due
officers and enlisted men at the time
of their death in the service should
be addressed to the zone finance
officer and all claims for insurance,
unpaid family allowances and COM
pensation for death or disability,
under the war risk insurance act,
should be made direct to the war
risk insurance, Treasury depart
ment and not to the War depart
ment. 1t was reiterated that it
also was unnecessary to employ at
torneys or other claim agents in
order to have these claims adjusted.

will lose all the credit marks that
he has gained thus far and all his
studying will have to be gone
through with again. Bill Jackson
points out that if he has to go
through his studies again. they will
come great deal easier to him
when he goes back to school and a
second course will be of great bene-
fit to him anyway. Mason could
finish his studies in time to join
the team early in June if he stayed
in the school till he graduated.
A number of letters have come to
the sport desk from managers and
boxers in New York and Chicago,
inquiring about the possibilities for
the passage of the boxing bill in
Nebraska and Boosting of the great
chances the bills in New York and
Illinois have of becoming laws.
While the eastern fans are enthu-
siastic over the measures in these
two states, they are anxious to know
how things turn out in Nebraska,
for they are figuring on Omaha be-
ing one of the greatest boxing
towns in the country if the Melady
bill is put across and they are all
anxious to get in on the ground
floor and secure early matches at
some of the Omaha clubs.
The proposed wrestling match be-
tween the Lincoln featherweight,
Erwin Carroll, and Jack Tolliver
the Omaha little old man. feather
has. not been fully arranged yet.
Tolliver says It's through no fault
of his and he is ready to try con-
illusions with the upstate man at
any time. He thinks Carroll is a
little afraid of the result of such a
match and is purposely holding the
deal up.
The featherweight champion box
er, Johnny Kilbane, was very much

against frankie Brown of New York

with them on the trip north, shortly
before the ball season gets under
