Mo Cure for Influenza.

8 An article from the editorial col
umns Of the Journal of the American
Medical association says There are
no specific cures for so called Span
ish influenza. Most Of the "cures"
recommended are not only ridiculous
but are actually harmful. Hyper en-
thusiasm applied to moral and esthe-
tic ideals is a praiseworthy emotion,
but as related to medical science is
usually delusion and a snare. The
United States public health service,
having been besieged with inquiries
regarding this and that method of
treatment, has issued special bulletin
In which It is emphasized that there
is no specific cure for influenza yet
known and that the chief reliance
must be placed upon good hygiene,
good nursing, and symptomatic treat
ment. First of all employ physi-

Revolutionary StronghoIds on Manhat-
tan Island Hardly Desirable Places
of Residence, One Would Think.

At Its northern tip, yet hardly the
tip, either, for it is surely mile be-
low, the highest part of Manhattan
rises 270 feet above tidewater. Here.
in the early days of the revolution, the
Americans had established Fort George.
This stronghold was connected by roads
with two other forts, one called Fort
Tyron in the center of the island, and
the other Fort Washington, on the
banks of the Hudson. Fort George
was built on the high rocks near the
East river, and it is from this vantage
point that one looks across through a
break in the hills to the Hudson, to the
blue-black of the Palisades ON the op-
pOsite Jersey shore scowling in dismal
silhouette before the majesty of the
sunsets that appear to- be going on ev-
cry evening behind their backs, as it
were.
These three forts were captured by
the British in 1776 and Fort George
itself was occupied by the British and
Hessians until 1888 under the name of
Camp Laurel Hill. Recently, during a
period of excavating which was TAX
ing place so that New York could build
even more apartment houses, many IN
teresting relics Of those earlier resi-
dents were unearthed-muskets, coat
buttons, cooking utensils and even the
huts themselves were discovered, one
Of which was almost intact. Surely
shelter must have been an important
consideration when wintering ON that
windy spot.

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head.
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita.
BILE and maybe respondent; it makes
anyone SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to che kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing to thousands Of nervous,
oyer-worked women.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp. Root, the great kidney

Power Lights Up Cold Arctic.

The nights are six months long up
in Crocker land. but Donald B. Mac
MILAN and his party of explorers on
their latest expedition never had to
be afraid to go home in the dark
at least they were certain to have
plenty Of light once they got there.
Instead of sitting in the murky gloom
of a blubber lamp. they boosted cleo
trio lights.
Over the front door of their lodge
was a headlight that threw its beams
ten miles over the ice.
This state Of things was produced by
the foresight that prompted Mr.. Mac
MILAN to take with him a marine gen.
Grating set.
The plant was installed and run by
Ensign Jerome Lee Allen of the United
States navy. who was the radio opera
tor of the expedition.

NO ROOM FOR
PESS|M|SM
Canada as a Nation Builder.

With Canada's great task In the
war before the public, the burdens
that she so willingly took and so ably
carried, and her recent victory in sub
scribing $175,000,000 to the 9TH Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked,
he would be q skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deplores
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered, but even those akin to those
lost in battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there is no room in Cam
ada today for the pessimist. The ag-
ricultural production of the country
has doubled in four years. $14QD00.-
600 are the railway earnings today
or 81 times what they were ten years
ago, while the bank deposits are now
1,733, 100000 as compared with $780,
100000 thirty years ago.
There is a wonderful promise for
the future.
It is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era of peace. She has tri-
umphed over the soul-testing crisis OF
war; Before the war Canada was a
borrower, and expected to continue so
for many years. For the past year and
a half we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits t0 other nations
A recent article in the "Bostonl
Transcript says:
.sThe people atshome have not been
tagging behind the boys at the front In
courage, resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development of Canada's war In
dustry is an. industrial romance of
, front rank. American Government Of
ficials can testify to the efficiency Of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In De
partment after Department where they
found American industry failed them
they were able to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day."
The same paper says:
ut is a new Canada that energies
from the world war in 1918-a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1914.
"The war has taken from Canada a
cruel toll. More than $4,000 of her
bravest sons lie in soldiers graves in
Europe. Three times that number
have been more or less incapacitated
by wounds. The cost of the war in
money is estimated to be already
81, 100O00,O0O. These are not light
losses for a country of 100000 people.
Fortunately there is also credit side,
Canada has found herself in this. war.
She has discovered not merely the gal
lantry of her soldiers, but the brains
and capacity and efficiency of her
whole people. In every branch, in
arms, in industry, in finance, she has
had to measure her wits against the
world, and in no case has Canada rea-
son to be other than gratified. "-Ad-

First to Export oysters.

King" who. died recently at his Long
Island en- - home, was the first ex-
porter of oysters to Europe. and his
name came to be known in all markets
which the blue point oysters found in
foreign countries. His foreign ship
ments the first year amounted to only
1000 barrels. Later his export bust
ness became the largest of It's kind in
the United States. and amounted to
10000 barrels annually.

tenth century both those powers acted
with so much rigor toward ships of ev-

aIt Is considered most appropriate
that each state through which the Lin

planting of Victory" trees for the SOB
diers and sailors. of the community
who have died in the service Of their
country. 1t is conceded that the motor
truck and motor car have played a
mighty part in the winning of the war,
and that the Lincoln highway stands
first in the minds of the people as the
medium of their use in through, con-
nected transportation. For these rea-
sons the planting OF. memorial trees
along the Lincoln highway is particu-

1t is pointed out by the American
Forestry association that wood has

President And Other Members OF
American Delegation Discouraged
BY Procrastination IN Arrang-
ing PreIiminaries.

Paris.-President Wilson, it is said,
has virtually made UP his mind how
far he will support Italy's claims at
the peace table, and informed Premier
Orlando Of his decision, but that it is
probable his ideas will not be made
known publicly until the peace dele
gates have been advised of them.
It is asserted by persons close to the
President that he favors only partial
endorsement of Italy's ambition. The
expectation has been expressed that
President Wilson is agreeable to meet
ing the principal features of Italy's
claim to territory undeniably Italian
and essential to safeguard her SOW
ereignty, and at the same time to
recognize the territorial aspirations Of
the Jugo-Slavs.
1t is anticipated that the Presidents
leanings in favor of Italy do not go
so far as to warrant the suggestion
that he is in favor Of giving Italy con-
troll of the Adriatic, but that by prof.
ect of Observation-Disclosures he is will
ing to satisfy the Italians that there
will be no military threat to the east
of them, according to persons sup
posed to be well informed on the sub
ject.
The President is said to realize that
the italians are depending almost
solely on the United States for sup
port, but that he has felt from the
first that he could not indorse their
claims in full, though he is said to
entertain the warmest sympathy ios
