@ FLU CAUSES SIX 9
q DEATHS IN CHICAGO 9
100000 G 9 G @ 9 G

The weekly bulletin Of the health
department issued yesterday, shows
that six persons died in Chicago last
week as result of Influenza DR.. w. A.
Evans, health authority and writer OF
Chicago, last week, predicted that the
world would again be sweupt by an
epidemic of Influenza far more severe
than last year, when thousands Of lives
were lost. One thing Is sure, that is,
the warm weather this fall has kept
the epidemic down, but as colder
weather approaches, Influenza Is IL
able to break out any time. DR.. Brady
says mo one has as yet discovered
a positive method Of diagnosing early
cases Of Influenza from alleged colds"
The utmost care should be taken,
therefore not to catch cold, for colds
weaken the resistance to Influenza
germs. =
Doctors seems to agree that it is
much easier to prevent Influenza than
to cure 1t. The secret Of preventing
Influenza is to keep the germs from
lodging and developing in the respir-
atory organs-the mouth, nose and
throat. No one should be allowed to
breathe in your face because the
germs are often transmitted in this
manner.
Influenza can be prevented, last
years results prove that. As a pre-
ventive for Flu, Turpo has been pro-
nounced success. Turpo is an ef-
fective germicide, combining the old
fashioned remedies of turpentine
(which has always been known as the
best home germicide), camphor and
menthol in pure mineral base. These
ingredients have long been recognized
as effective germicides, as we'll as hav'
ing really wonderful qualities in re-
lieying colds and COMPOSITIONS. Snufl
little Turpo up the nostrils several
times a day, and the Flu germs vii
have little chance of getting a lodg
ing and breeding place. Many physi
clans and hospitals use and recon-
mend Turpo.
Prepare now. Buy thirty cent jal
of Turpo, while your druggist has
supply on hand, and use as directed
Last year druggists could not suppl!

a preventive, not cure for Influenza

OF wires. Now by our multiplex me-
thod, we are enabled to obtain five
telephone circuits over one pair of
wires, that is, ten simultaneous
telephone conversations from the
two pair of wires which formerly
could be used for only three sim
ultaneous telephone conversations.
In telegraphy, as we'll as in tele-
phony, sensational results have been
attained by the new system.
The nature of these developments
is such that if desired wires may be
used partly for telephone and partly
for telegraph. A pair of wires is
available either for five simultane-
Gus telephone conversations or for
forty simultaneous telegraph mes
sages, or partly for one and partly
for the other.
From the nature of the appara-
tus and the methods employed the
system is not Particularly advan-
tageous on short lines, either tele-
phone or telegraph"

announcing the invention and de-

now possible to increase many fold

with this new SYSTEM" Mr.. Wallis
letter said, -four telephone CONVEX
sations over one pair of wires are
simultaneously carried on, in addit-
ion to the telephone conversation
provided by the ordinary methods.
Thus, over a single pair of wires
total of five telephone conversations
are simultaneously operated, each
giving service as good as that pro-
vided by the circuit working in the
ordinary way.

ABOUT GEN. JOHN PERSHING.
He Was Master Organizer and HaC
the Confidence of the Other
Generals.

The history of the war will be long
in writing. We have had, except for
summaries of general results, only
sketches of episodes in the war, usu-
ally written under the censor's eau
ton. With the lifting of the censor
ship We are getting the first definite
general description of the final work
of the Eighty-ninth Division, contain
ing Missouri troops. World interest
is absorbed in carrying out of the
armistice terms and the discussion of
peace terms and problems, but We
may expect, in a little while, long
withheld light on the various armies
and their leaders. We are confident
that in that light Americans will see
Gen. John PerShing of Missouri,
commanding an army of 100000
men, looming as one of the large
figures in our history. Missourians
are familiar with his early record
and his general character. His repu-
tation has been that of self-con-
tanned, patient, handwriting officer,
master of every situation, careful of
his men and winning success along
lines that did not magnify in a
spectacular fashion his own person
atty The country might never have
heard of him had not President
Roosevelt made him the subject Of
message mention in promoting him
over the heads of 800 or 400 other
officers. His direct command of the
punitive expedition in Mexico was
one of the most trying any soldier
could have had. 1t was his diplom-
acy in. dealing with Mexicans, his
control of men and his general capac-
ity which caused President Wilson
to place him in command of all the
American forces in France.
He never had opportunity to dis
tinguish himself in generalship az
did Marshal Foch, that lifelong stu
dent of Napoleon who upset th@
theories of the military critics, with
their obscession that trench warfare
was compulsory. But we know that
Gen. Pershing was master organ
izer, that he had the confidence OF
the other generals, as we'll as of his
subordinates and enlisted men, thai
he comported himself with tact and
discretion and that in direct COM
mand of the American fighting forces
he showed resourcefulness in
emergencies Enthusiastically Am
erican. You don't have to tell these
Americans how to do anything,
said a French officer after the first
trial of our soldiers in actual combat.
GUST tell them what you want done
and they'll find some way to do it. y
Pershing helped in finding ways. And
we doubt not that his counsel as to
larger policies was always appreciat-
ed and that it will receive full formal
recognition in due time.

Enforcement Comes Next.

There is a tendency among a GER
tain class of enthusiasts when they
have gained a triumph for a good
cause to Immediately dismiss, their
responsibility of maintaining it and
helping to put it into effect and rush
off to begin another crusade, that
may or may not be worthy. They
must enjoy the excitement of crusad-
ing and don't stop long enough to
see whether that which they advo-
cate is timely This is brought to
mind by the current report that the
w. C. T. U. is going to launch out on
a campaign against the use Of tobac-
co. Now there are a good many
points that can be made against the
use of nicotine, as there are against
the drinking of tea and especially
coffee. But up to date no one has
ever accused the man who smokes
or the woman who enjoys her cup or
coffee of killing anyone or running
homes or communities because OF it..
The greatest work that every tenn
perance organization-and every
citizen-has at the present time is
to back up and sustain the enforce
ment of the prohibition law which is
now a part of the statute books.
