Flu this Year is Milder

The rules given above. recon-

Board of Health. are guides to
good health at all times. Particu-
larry should they be followed Just
now. when Influenza is again
abroad in the land. Authorities
agree. however, that the flu this
year is less severe than in the last
epidemic-the attacks are shorter

many sections are not flu at all, but
simply the old-fashioned grip.
Keep the Air Passages Healthy
While we know very little more
about the flu now than we did last
year-the germ itself has never
been positively identified-still most
authorities agree that the flu germs
are breathed in. II the system is
in good shape and the membrane
or lining of the air passages is In
healthy condition-these germs are
thrown off.
A good plan is to melt a. little

Use OF External Treatments for
Colds Increasing
Vick's VapoRub is the discovery
of p. North Carolina druggist who
found how to combine in salve
form the standard time-tested rem
edies, Camphor - MenthoI-Euca-
lyptus-Thyme, etc.-so that when
the salve is applied to the body
heat, these ingredients are liberated
in the form of vapors-
Vicks is particularly recommended
for children's Group or colds, since
it is externally applied and there
fore can be used freely and often
without the slightest harmful ef-
fects.
The best evidences of the value of
Vicks is the steadily increasing
number OF people who have. beer
converted to the use of this "out-
side" treatment
Beginning with the customers of
a small retail drug store, the use of
Vicks has grown year by year

+rantor 8. P. Smith, of Allen, Okla
holna, an old time driller with
twenty five years experience, in a
recent visit stated that ninety days
should bring production to the Ma
Mex operators. The well is now
down 500 feet.
On his way to Portales, Smith
stopped at Amarillo to look over
that region. He saw a confidential
report made on Roosevelt county
for one of the big Oil companies.
He stated that this report was one
of the most flattering he ever saw
regarding any field. II marked the
ridge on which the MI Mex well IS
now drilling as almost certain to
show big production.
The Roosevelt Oil company's
well in section I, township south,
range 81 east is also regarded as
particularly well located Supt.
Greenlee has a crew of driliers who
are making fine progress and a
race is on as to which well will be
the first to hit the oil sand.
The Mesa Oil and Gas with its
hole at $40 feet is awaiting the
arrival of the Ohio superintendent
and drillers who will take charge
for the new interests who have
bought control. 1t is thought that
the Mesa will likely show results
at shallow depths as a slight show
ing of oil was reported around 220
feet.
The Pittsburg interests who have
taken over the leases and we'll of
the Great Western Oil and Gas will
resume active work on April /. 1t
is significant that outside capital
has been alert to secure control of
no less than three wells stared by
the original companies. The com
ing into the field by the big
operators has caused heavy buying
of leases by people who have kept
track of the situation.
The rig and tools for the new
Montgomery well to be drilled by
Amarillo interests are ready for
shipment. Another well will be
started by John Dahl and associ-
ates, who drilled several wells in
the Electra field in Texas. The
equipment will be sent from Wich-
tia Falls.
People prominent in oildom are
visiting Portales in large numbers.
Harry S. Lewis, of Chicago, who
with ]. f. Hallwegen. also of that
city, have organized syndicate of
business men to finance the Nu-
Mex operations, has been in the
city for ten days. Lewis reports a
growing interest in New Mexico oil
matters among the general public
in the north and east.
An oil newspaper called the New
Mexico Oil Digest has just gotten
out its second issue. 1t is an eight
page full sized publication, de-
voted to the interests of the oil
fraternity operating in New Mexico
and the Texas panhandle. 1t is a
most ereditable journal and re-
fleets great credit on the publish
ers and will no doubt be read with
deep interest by investors and
operators in every section of the
country.
Every line of business is pros
pering from the influx of visitors.
The hotels and rooming houses are
filled to Overlooking, as is the
Harvey house at Clovis. Abstract
ors are working day and night in
au eudeavor to keep abreast of the
demand from lease buyers. 1t has
been surprising to note the orders
for leases coming in from distant
SECTIONS where the news of this new
'i has spread. As the wells go

-dses advancing.
