SPANISH FLU"
BREAKS OUT IN
YOUNGSTOWN

Youngstown, O.-Spanish influenza
has broken out among workmen living
In steel mills here naccount of the
steel strike according to announce
mentE Youngstown hospital officials
today, who said that six cases had
been taken to the hospital from the
Ohio works Of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, and three from the Brler Hill
Steel Company.
Doctors are agreed that precaution-
airy measures are more necessary than
ever before. The secret Of avoiding
Influenza is to keep the germs from
lodging and developing In the respira-
tory organs-the mouth, nose and
throat. The utmost care should be
taken not to catch cold, for colds
weaken the resistance to influenza
germs. No one should be allowed to
breathe In your face because the
germs are often transmitted in this
manner. Finally a good germicide
should be used frequently, such as
Turpo. which is a most effective ger
micide.
Snuff a little Turpo up the nostrils
several times day, and the flu germ
will have little chance of getting
lodging and breeding place. Man
physicians and hospitals used and re
.ommend Turpo.
Turpo is an effective germicidr
combining the old-fashloned remedie
of turpentine, camphor and mentht
in pure mineral base. The ingred'
ents have long been recognized as ef
fective germicides, as we'll as havir
really wonderful qualities in relievin
colds and COMPOSITIONS. AS prever
tive for flu, Turpo has been wide,
used and recommended. Last seas,
the druggists could not supply the d
mand for Turpo, so it is important I
buy thirty-cent jar of Turpo of yci
druggist now, while he has a suppl
on hand. and use as directed.
If in spite of all precautions, Span
ish influenza develops, go to bed ant
summflon physician. Influenza is
serious malady, and requires the hes
medical attention.
Leaflets on Prevention and Treat
ment of Influenza and Pneumonia can

Gregory Both Assu' Ell Him Of
Erepmfion Under Lerer Act

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-In an ad-
dress before the Central Labor Union
here tonight President Samuel
Gompcrs, of the American Federation
of Labor, reiterated his charge that Sc
curing an injunction ordering United
Mine Workers officials to cancel the
coal strike order was a direct violation
of a pledge given to labor by high gov
ernment officials at the time OF The
passage OF the Lever food contro! act.
He said labor officials were promised
the act would not be applied to workers
in the case Of strikes or walkouts. He
also quoted telephone conversations
between Secretary Wilson and himself
as recorded by his stenographer, and
from correspondence with Secretary
Wilson regarding the application Of
the Lever act.
Mr. Gompers read excerpts from the
Congressional Record quoting state
ments by Representative Lever, Demo
crat Of South Carolina, to the effect
that the Lever bill never was intended
to repeal or amend the labor provisions
of the Clayton antitrust act. He also
declared the Federation only withdrew
its opposition to the Lever act after
Secretary Wilson had assured him

measure and would not only have dis

charge that former Attorney General
