DR.. Kendall in
Radio Message on
Influenza and Colds

Portland. Me. Oct. 26-Dr. Clar-
ence F. Kendall of Augusta, State
commissioner of health, in the week
" health message broadcast TINS
evening from radio station WCSH,
discussed Influenza and the Com
mon Cold" and gave the following
rules to prevent their spread:
When grip is prevalent stay at
home as much as possible, par
ticularlv cut out unnecessary visits
to public places and unnecessary
travel. Walk when you can do so in
stead of taking the street car. The
exercise and the breathing of the
open air will tone up the system.
Increase the power of resistance OF
your body by regular and rational
habits of living as regards work,
sleep, play and food. Do not visit
persons who show symptoms of grip
or a cold if you can well avoid DO
ing so, and do not give cordial re-
ception to persons showing such sym
toms who unnecessarily obtrude their
presence upon you.
Eating and drinking utensils that
have not been scalded after they
have been used by others are a great
danger. In addition to the ordinary
washing, boiling water should be
poured over forks, spoons and cups
as a routine precaution particularly
when influenza or other infectious
diseases are around. Shun the soda
counter where the glasses are not
carefully cleansed and sterilized after
each use of them. Avoid uncleanly
restaurants.
Beware of finger borne infection.
Keep hands away from mouth and
nose. Wash your hands carefully
before eating and avoid things that
have been handled by the infected
fingers of other persons.
What has been said about in
fiuenza holds equally true in regard
to the so-called common cold.
When a member of a family shows
the first symptoms of a cold prompt
and intelligent care should be taken
to prevent the transmission to other
members of the family. This com
mon cold" may be the precursor of
bronchitis, pneumonia or other acute
respiratory disease, for a cold tends
to lower the resistance that one
may have against these more danger
Gus diseases, the germs of which are
present in the mouths, threats, nasal
passages of many persons in health.
They are lying in wait for the evil
preparatory work which may be done
by an attack of a cold of a mild in
fluenZa.
Influenza is very dangerous dis
ease due to its complications. When
taken with a so-called cold it is
better to consult a physician and put
yourself under his care. This is not
only for your own protection, but foi
the protection of others about you.
Be careful not to infect others and
thus help in preventing the spread
of this disease"

Do You Like
NV Hair?
By Edna Wallace Hopper

keep it ever-fuffy, ever-wavy, with
out ever a Marcel. do it by applying
Edna Wallace Hopper's Wave and
Sheen. Then, when l want my hair
fluffy, simply comb it backwards.
When l want lasting curl, use curl
ers, combs or my fingers. In any style
of hair dressing, my Wave and Sheen
keeps my hair as want it.
In Paris last summer I found that
most women liked sleek hair, like men.
But they used this same great formula
to get it without grease.
There was never a hair dress ever
created to delight you like my Wave
and Sheen. A hair dress like mine de-
mands it, to retain the wave, or curl or
fuffiness which makes my hair seem so
abundant.
But my Wave and Sheen is lust as
important in keeping hair in place. For
men and women who desire sleek hair.
my Wave and Sheen does it to perfec-
ton without grease. And for those who
nave permanent waves, my Wave and
Sheen will keep them in shape.
lh1s is the hair dress now used everv-
where by. men and women who want
beautiful hair. You can fluff it or curl
1t or bold it smooth. You can use it to
MAINTAIN permanent waves. But it serves
every purpose in the best way known.
Get a bottle at any toilet counter TO-
day. Note the beauty, the luster and
color. the endurance that it adds. You
will say, as all the world is saying. that
this is the greatest hair dress in exist
ence. The price is rs cents.

16 Deer Shot in

One of the hunters from the state
House reports that on the first day
of the open season 16 deer were shot
in the big field at Pittston Farm
above lockwood on the SeboomooK
Road.
"There were about So deer in the
field, and the men at the farm tried
their best to drive them out before
the hunters got at Them" goes the
report. "They fired their guns in the
air and shouted at them, but the
deer, which had been staying around
there all summer, refused to leave
the premises. When the hunters
opened fire, the deer fell in numbers
until a total of 16 had been Killed
off"

Australian Labor in
Fight for "A Hours

MELBOURNE (By Mail) I'm Jan
uary Of this year the labor govern

make A hours the maximum working
week in every industry. Some unions
are working under a federal award
The federal awards specify 4S-hour
week. The employers took the mat
ter to the high court, and the judges
decided that the workers under the
federal awards must work As hours a
week. The Metal Trades Employers
Association also said so. The work
ers said they would not-so the men
were locked out.
A struggle ensued, during which
the employers in the Motor Body
Building Trades locked their men out.
At the end of five weeks an agree
ment was reached with the Metal
Trades Employers Association that
the men work A hours for "A hours
pay. This was all that was demanded
in the first place-the establishment
Of the principle of the 44-hour week.
The employers in the motor indus
try also agreed to this, but failed to
keep the agreement, consequently the
fight is still on in that industry.

A NEW Russia, quite unlike the old,
"a is emerging from the brutal cen
turtles Of serfdom under the czars and
the nightmare of revolution by which
that era was terminated.
Nine-tenths of the people OF Rus
STA are farmers. Under the old auto
cratic regime they were kept in the
deepest ignorance and, for the greater
part, wholly illiterate. lest learning
make them dangerous to the estab-
lished order.
Their farming methods were of the
crudest nature; of steel plough shares,
harrows, discs. threshing machinery,
spraying implements, tractors, and
electricity they knew practically moth
ing. They did what they could with
the soil in very much the same man
ner as their forefathers centuries ago.
TODAY a new condition exists: Rus.
i sia has a public school system and
