How to Escape
FLU

Avoid SO far as possible the places where
flu germs are most likely to be spread;
over crowded cars and public meeting
places; overheated stuffy rooms.
Be careful of close contact with others
Z and beware of all coughers and sneezers;
breathe through the nose, get fresh air,
but avoid drafts or chilling.
Get lots OF rest. Eat plenty of citrus
"A fruits. Keep the bowels open. Take extra
precaution to keep in good physical con-
dition, so your system will have high re-
sistance against germs.
Above all, avoid catching colds. They
lower your resistance to the flu germ.
Ward them off. At the first sign of any
cold, take Bayer Aspirin and remain in
q doors if possible until your cold is gone.
If you have sore throat dissolve some
Bayer Aspirin tablets in water and gargIe;
this will relieve the soreness and reduce
the inflammation
z If you have any reason to suspect even q
touch of flu, call your doctor at once.

weird SUB TO
CARRY WILKINS
UNDER ICE CAP
Aim OF Polar Expedition Is
to Establish Thirty-tWO
Weather Stations.
BY T. ]. O'CONNELL,
United Press StaH Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-When
Sir Hubert wilkins, distinguished
Australian explorer first signified
his intention Of cruising from SpitZ-
bergen to tho Boring sea, under the
ice pack, in an American-b built sub
marine, there we're those who
doubted the Australians good sense
some, indeed, his sanity.
a chat with Sir Hubert about his
pet hobby, however, will show that
he is proceeding with his great
adventure in a manner which be-
speaks thorough knowledge of the
handicaps he expects to face and
a great faith in the actual success.
Expedition 10 Aid Science
Sir Huberts proposed expedition
rs for the purpose of studying ice
conditions in midsummer in the
Arctic with a view 10 establishing
probably thirty-two meteorological
stations from which observations of
weather conditions can be made
which may prove Of ineStimablc
value to the rest of the world.
The Nautilus. the submarine
which the United States government
has leased to Sir Hubert for his ex-
petition is being reconditioned at
the Philadelphia navy yard now
Already she is beginning to look
as strange as the dream of the man
who envisioned such cruise.
Great steel runners have been at
tachcd to her deck, on both sides
OF the coming tower. These run
ners arc somewhat similar to those
on a sled, upside down.
Drill Through Cap Ice
With these the explorer expects
the submarine to slip along beneath
the surface of the ice cap now and
then. if conditions warrant.
Work also is proceeding apace on
the great ice drill which will pro-
iect from the coming tower. This
is TO drill through the ice cap which
Is not expected to be more than
thirteen feet thick in most places
in midsummer.
Sir Hubert plans to cruise be-
meath the ice pack at speed of
approximately three knots per hour.
Stops will be made frequently to
bore throug the ice to make obser-
vations and plan for sites for the
meteorological stations.
He expects to encounter consider
able open water.
