Dont's for
Grippe
By Brice Belden, M. D.

~ ONT take a light view OF in
fluenza or grippe and think
of it in the same light as
common cold.
Don't forget that in the course
OF such an infection various COM
plications may possibly occur. and
that therefore the case must be
properly watched from the begin
ming by the physician.
Don't postpone going to bed
when attacked. This necessary pre-
caution may make all the differ
cnce between complete recovery and
chronic invalidism or even between
life and death. BY keeping about
too long after the onset of this IN
fection the heart may suffer diia-
tion which may teopardize life or
greatly prouact convaIesence, not
to speak of the risk of permanent
cardiac disability.
Don't leave the bed too soon
after apparent recovery, as other
wise there Is danger OF relapse.
Generally speaking, one should re-
main in bed for at least four days
after the temperature has become
normal.
Don't fail to insure the free~t
ventilat1on OF the sick room
throughout the whole course Of the
illness, as lack OF fresh air has
much TO do with the long compli-
cations that so commonly occur
Don't fail to realize that the best
tried single measure in the treat
ment OF this disease Is practically
continuous rest in bed.
Don't lie on the back for long
hours. Change from side to side
frequently, as otherwise congestion
OF that portion of a lung which is
most dependent is likely to occur.
Failure to observe this precaution
is a frequent cause of fatal pull
monary complications such as
pneumonia.
Don't take strong purga tives. or
adopt other cxhausting measures,
as the malady itself is very de-
tilitating. Mild laxatives are neces-
sary and quite sufficient to elm
mate the toxins.
Don't fail TO take light but nour-
ishing food. including milk.
Don't forget to use paper hand
kerchiefs. which can be Immediately
destroyed.

Fritz Leiber Scores
Success In Hamlet

Fritz Leiber might well have been
pleased BY the large attendance and
the liberal applause which greeted
him at the Jefferson theatre last
night on the occasion Of his first APP
pearaneo in Birmingham as a star in
Shapespearean drama. Mr.. Leiber
was trained in a good school, having
played for years with Robert Man
tell, and established himself as an ac-
tor Of fine histrionic powers. He was
always conspicuous in Mr.. Mantell's
companies because Of his superior
ability, which made him close rival
Of that veteran in rather extensive
repertoire.
Mr.. Leiber's Hamlet, which he
played last night, is a worthy per.
Torrance of role which has engag
cd the sympathies and the skill OF
the greatest tragic artists. He por-
trays the prince with pronounced ef-
fectiveness, particularly in those
scenes which demand dramatic fervor
and intensity, although he was grace
full AMI distinguished in the quieter
passages. He invests the character
with human quality at times that
is particularly noticeable. His Ham
let is an Interesting and vivid char
acterization, which makes up in vigor
and naturalness what it may lack IN
spirituality. He succeeds in bringing
Hamlet close to his audience and
presenting him, not so much the
dreamer and swayed by conflicting
emotions, as man who smarts under
his wrongs.
Mr.. Leiber's company gave him
adequate support. Although Thomas
DonnelIy made little of the farewell
speech Of Polonius to Laertes, he re-
deemed himself later and brought out
the comic possibilities Of Polonius
with much success. Louis Leon Had
was above the average Claudius.
Olive Oliver as Gertrude, Virginia
Bronson as Ophelia, John Burke as.
Horatio and Philip d. Quinn as Laer-
ties were other members Of the COM
pany who deserve favorable mention.
The stage settings mark depar-
ture from the usual style of mount
ing a Shakespearean play, but their
simplicity and usefulness enhanced
the poetic beauty Of Hamlet.
Mr.. Leiber will appear at the JEFF
ferson for the remainder Of the week,
presenting "The Merchant of Veniee"
tonight. His engagement has begun
most auspiciously and promises to
rive lovers of the Shakespearean
drama series Of meritori6us per-
formances. Mr.. Leiber has climbed
to stardom by hard work, and de- \
serves the success he is meeting with
in relies which are rich in stage tradi- .

CORRECT USE
OF THE FLAG.
Daughters OF The American
Revolution EndeavOring To
Promote Reverence For
The Stars And Stripes.

AT the request Of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution of Col
umbus, the Dispatch this morning
publishes few suggestions as to the
correct use Of the American Flag.
The American Creed.
II believe in the United States Of
America as a government of the peo-
pic, by the people, for the people
whose just powers are derived from
the consent Of the governed; a Dem
ocracy in Republic; a sovereign ma
ton Of many sovereign states; a per-
feet union, one and inseparable, es-
tablished upon those principles Of
freedom, equality, justice and human
ity for which American patriots sacri-
feed their lives and fortunes. there
fore believe it is my duty to my coun-
try to love it; to support its constitu-
ton; to obey its laws; to respect its
Flag, and to defend it against all
enemies"
Correct Use OF The Flag.
First-The Flag should fly from 4
staff whenever possible.
Second-When the National Flag is
with other flags, it should
be placed at the right.
Third-When the Flag is used for
decorative purposes, it should always
be hung straight with the blue field to
the north or east. The Flag should
never be draped Bunting should al
ways be used or festoons or drap-
cries.
Fourth-In military circles, the
Flag is always raised at sunrise and
lowered at sunset. The Secretary Of
War advises that from private flag
poles the flag may fly at all hours,
day and night.
Fifth-When two American Flags
are crossed or hung together, the blue
fields should face each other.
Sixth When the national colors are
passing on parade or in review, the
spectator should (if walking) halt;
f sitting arise and stand at atten-
ion. Men and boys should remove
heir hats.
Seventh-Always stand when "The
Star Spangled Banner" is being play
ID or sung.
Eighth-When a Flag is place
,ver casket, the blue field should
,e at the head When the Flag is
Town at 'half-staff as a sign of mourn
ne or other calamity, it should be
aised to full-staff, then lowered to,
lalf-mast. 1t is always hoisted to the /
op before it is finally lowered.

for the next quarter Of a century"
The speaker called attention to
prediction he made when the Cum
Minis Esch bill was passed-that in
creases in rates would be based upon
the so-called book value" Of the rail-
roads, with all the stealing and
watered stock Of, crooked promoters
from the very beginning Of the rail-
road business"
my prediction proved true" said
the lawmaker. THE railroads were
PERMITTED to increase their rates upon
the basis of their book value of $18,-
100000. Upon that fraudulent
valuation they were permitted to earn
the per cent return.
"Yet today you can go upon the
stock exchanges of the United States
and buy every dollar of stock, of bonds
and other securities of all the railroads
of the United States for less than
sS,000,o 100000. Accepting the market
value of their stocks, bonds and other
securities as the true value of rail-
roads, they were given increases in
rates so as to raise their net. earnings
to IA per cent. Think Oft! No won
der business is strangled. No wonder
the people are crying out excessive
railroad charges.'

LESL|E'S OWNED
BY OIL COMBINE
Suspicion Entertained by Peo-
pie Proved True; Recently sold
to New York Publisher.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Bankruptcy
proceedings reveal that Leslie's
Weekly. one of the most reactionary
and vicious anti-union publications,
was secretly controlled by Standard
Oil In publishing the inside" story,
the New York World shows that Les
lies never made public its Standard
Oil connection, though the federal law
requires publication at least once a
year of the names of known holders
OF bonds and other securities of news
papers and other publications.
The dummy for Standard Oil in
it's control of Leslies was the City
Real Estate company. an inside" cor
poration of the Title Guarantee and
Trust company. A mortgage on Les
lies held by the latter company, was
declared fraudulent by Federal Judge
Manton. Standard Oil found itself
holding securities with an alleged
value of $4,000, purchased for
$578,000. William Green, a publisher
in this city. bought the stock for
100000 and Standard Oil recovered
"a per cent of its investment Green
personally bought the stock from
Standard Oil.
