Many Cases Of
Grippe Reported
in Dougla.
Local People Urged to Use VigOr-
Gus Measures to Combat Further
Spread of Deep Grippy Colds.
PNEUMONIA CHIEF DANGER
Grippe Attacks Weaken BOdy's Re-
/. sistance to Germs of Pneumonia
All Colds Should be Treated
Promptly.

Deep grippy colds have been un-
usually prevalent here this winter
The situation is fairly general
throughout the states. In some Sec
tions these colds are called "Influen-
za," but the majority of health of.
ficers report that they are much
milder than the original epidemic
and resemble more closely the old
fashioned la grippe They are usu-
ally accompanied by a headache or
achy feeling over the body, running
of the nose,' sneezinS and frequently
by gastric and intestinal complca-
tions such as hiccoughs, nausea, diar4
rhea, etc.
Colds are too often neglected until
they have lowered the vitality suffi-
GENTLY to permit the lurking germs,
which cause pneumonia, bronchitis
and influenza to attack the body.
Don't Take Chances
The only safe plan is to attack a
cold right at the beginning. A hot
foot bath, a laxative, sweat and a
vigorous application of Vicks Vapo-
Rub at bedtime over throat and chest
will often break up cold over night.

Constant demands have been
made u on his time for work I'M
related to his office as pastor, and
he has met these demands willingly,
in holiday programs, clubs and
orders, serving for one year as
county secretary of the Y M. e. A,
and four years as local chairman of
the State Board of Charities and
Correction, with no compensation.
His big heart went out to the poor,
and he travelled many miles on his
errands of mercy. Yet these many
demands did not prevent him from
giving the community that spiritual

equipped
