 siderable Anxiety
SECURED A POSITION

 Police were on duty in the strike area this morning but reported no further trouble. Strikers had been asked to appear at the mill gates early today but none arrived, prob ably because of the announcement that the plant would be closed indefi- nitely.

HOW TO FIGHT THE FLU

Plain common sense is the main ingred-
lent of advice offered by Surgeon General
Hugh S. Cumming, of the U. S. Health Ser
vice for the treatment and prevention of
influenza, which has assumed the proper
tons of mild epidemic in many parts of the
country.
He recommends plenty of sleep and rest;
simple diet, with large amounts of water,
fruit juices, milk and hot soups; warm cloth
ing; avoidance of contact with others who
have colds; keeping in the open air as much
as possible, and avoiding the use of alcohol
and stimulants of all sorts.
Most of the surgeon generals recon-
mendations are merely sound rules of health
which might well be observed at any time,
particularly in winter. He also advises
against the use of any so-called preventives,
such as sera, vaccines and other advertised
nostrums, which seem to have no value and
may be harmful in this disease A doctors
care and common sense health rules are the
only proper treatment.
Avoidance of alcohol and stimulants of
all kinds should include elimination of the
most common of all, tea and coffee. This ad-
vice is consistent with the rest of the ma
tional health officers suggestions for build
ing up the vital reserve power of the individ-
ual
Public health services perform one of
their most valuable functions by pointing out
to the public that there is no royal road to
health, only the road we build by schooling
ourselves to follow the laws of nature, which
are available to all of us.
