rrerogative of King
Solved Big Problem

An ancient royal prerogative, once
so oppressive that If a man killed
the kings deer he was put to death
for it, was revived and put in force
for the directly opposite purpose of
relieving the English sovereign's sub
Jects of grievOus burden.
Early in November, 1927, a herd of
whales, the like of which had not
been seen in British waters for six
ty years, eagerly pursuing a shoal of
herring into shallow water in Dor
nOch firth, on the Sutherland coast
of Scotland, were unable to make an
ofling into deep water. They rolled
and ilurried this way and that, and
when they finally gave up the ghost
their carcasses were streWn for thir-
ty miles along the shore and up an
estuary near Bonar bridge. The dis
poSa of the huge creatures offered
a serious problem to the town. Once
before a whale had gone ashore there
and it had cost 500 to bury it. Now
lHtTe were l-U W De SOl Ilu VI anu
neither the town nor the local laird
saw where they were to get hold Of
the $4,000 or so to pay for putting
them underground. Should the town
issue bonds, saddle itself with what,
to such community, amounted to a
war debt, merely to remove nui-
sance, when so many works of beau
ty and utility were crying to be I'M
dertaken?
In their anxiety the town appealed
to the British board of health, and
one of its members happily thought
of an act of King Edward II, which
had been in allegiance for six hundred
years, wherein surgeons and whales
thrown ashore were declared to be
the property of the sovereign "on
account of their superior excellence"
Surgeons went to the king entire
but, as it was difficult to transport
an entire whale from the coast to
Windsor, the law permitted the send
ing of the whales head to the king
and its tail to the queen. Neither
King George nor Queen Mary felt dis
posed to insist upon their rights and
have buckingham palace Uttered up
with the CORY heads and tails of 100
whales, and the board of trade in
terpreted the royal wish to be that
the bodies should be removed by the
kings coast guard.
This Solomon-like judgment was at
once put into effect, much to the re-
lief of the people of Bonar bridge
who, as the days passed, were be-
ing uncomfortable conscious that
none of the whales had brought any
ambergris with them

auspices of the National United
Committee for Law Enforcement on
Sunday afternoon, January Is, to eel
citrate the eighth anniversary of the
adoption of the Eighteenth Amend

We have laws enough, regulations
enough, money enough, and men
enough to enforce the Eighteenth
Amendment-if they had a strong
purpose behind them. Only determi-

There is but one man who can sup

BED is THE PLACE FOR
THOSE CONTRACTING FLU
Doctor Should Be Called and His
Instructions Followed


eff you feel an attack of influenza
coming on, go to bed; send for your
doctor; follow his instructions and
stay in bed until the attack is over"
is the advice of DR.. R. H. Riley, direc
tor of the State Department of
Health, to all sufferers from "colds"
or grippe" or influenza" or what
ever may be the name by which this
seasons outbreak is described.
''You may think that you can't
take the day, or several days off from
your work just now," he continued,
"but you will save time in the end,
get back to work more quickly and
probably prevent serious complica-
lions, by going to bed at once, no
matter how mild the attack may
seem to be Some of the most ser
ious after effects-pneumonia and
weakened hearts, follow neglect of
what seems to be only an ordinary
cold
''In an outbreak such as we are
having this winter Influenza and
grippe are interchangeable titles for
the same thing. The former comes
from a word signifying influence
and was first used by the Italians in
connection with an epidemic in 1743,
when the outbreak was believed to be
caused by an influence of unknown
origin. Grippe comes from a French
word meaning to attack. Studies
that have been made by the U. S.
Public Health Service, during great
outbreaks have shown that influenza
by itself is rarely fatal. 1t is when
it is accompanied by complications
that it becomes so serious. On that
account, the Importance of prompt
care cannot be emphasized too
strongly.
"The disease is believed to be
transmitter from person to person
through the secretions from the nose
and throat, Some of the precau-
tons that are effective in warding off
the flu have been summarized by
the U. S. Public Health Service. Here
they are:
l. Avoid needless crowds.
2. Take advantage of as much open
air and sunshine as you can.
- G1oo,, Nth
be sure your homes are we'll venti-
lated.
4. Avoid people who are coughing,
sneezing or snuffling, and do not
cough or sneeze yourself without US
ing a handkerchief
5. Wash your hands Immediately
before eating and do not put your
fingers in your mouth or nose. By
shaking hands or handling objects
touched by others you may infect
yourself by carrying your hand to
your mouth or nose.
g. Do not use a napkin, towel,
spoon, fork, knife, glass, dish, or
cup that has been used by another
person unless such articles have eth
er been washed or sterilized. Avoid
the common drinking cup.
Z, Keep up your general health
first, by using inside and outside
plenty Of clean water; second, by
eating clean, wholesome food; third,
by sleeping at least seven hours out
Of the "a; and fourth, by keeping the
bowels regulated.
8. Keep away from houses where
there is influenza.
9. Avoid chilling.
10. Avoid overheated rooms, And
finally:
II. In case the disease develops, go
to bed Immediately and remain there
until recovery. A physician should
be called at once.
