FLU" RULES LAID
DOWN BY PHYSICIANS

Flu" is prevalent here. physicians
of the Minnesota State Medical Asso-
citation warn Minnesotans today.
Three rules of conduct are accord
ingly urged by association represen-
tatives upon everybody who wants to
avoid flu, or if he can't avoid it
to suffer as little trouble as possible
at the time with no bad after effects.
The first rule cited in the bulletin
is: Avoid people who complain of
colds or sore Threats or sniffles or
any other suggestive symptom. The
first days after onset of the disease
are undoubtedly the most infectious.
Keep away, yourself, from people who
say they are coming down with some
thing and keep the children away
from them.
THE unfortunate flu suspect in the
home should be masked when he is
obliged to associate with other men,
bers of the family. That is, he should
wear a pad of several thicknesses of
muslin or gauze over his mouth and
nose to protect others from mouth
spray when he is talking or coughing
and sneeZing. He should keep his
hands scrupulously washed SO as not
to transfer infection to objects used
by Others"
The second rule is for people who
have contracted flu themselves. You
can't help doing it, the doctors point
out, so long as others with whom you
come into unavoidable contact, have
no conscience about whom they in
feet. To these people, the doctor says:
Go to bed at once and stay there until
fever, sore throat and all acute symp-
toms are gone.
DO not wait to go to bed until you
are forced there" says the bulletin
REST in bed is the best known treat
ment for flu or any of its allied all
ments But it has lost much of its
effectiveness if it isn't used immed-
lately to conserve body forces before
the infection really gets underway
Call your family doctor. But go to
bed first and stay there! Do not
wait for him to tell you"
The third rule has taken on new
Importance of late since recent med
ical studies have shown how many
weakened hearts and general failures
in health could be traced to an attack
that failed to get proper after care
This rule is: do not go back ia
work or to school or to any active
pursuit too soon. Give yourself an
extra few quiet days at home after
all symptoms seem to have vanished
That few days may save weakened
heart and allow it to return to nor
NAL strength. 1t may save you from
many unexplained illnesses later on. y
Persons with already weakened or
damaged hearts are especially warned
to take care of themselves during and
after an attack of flu.

realize that other ages have been
even more troublously beset with
strife and anguish-and have pulled

Just now the war-debts crisis in

have the required soc membership

is new one; it has not done great
deal yet but it is a long way from
being dead. Strenuous efforts are
now being made to organize all the
northwestern states into solid unit
so that pressure can be made to bear
on both state and national lawmakers.
The speaker told of having been in
the picketing lines himself. He stated
that the only purpose behind the
movement is obtaining cost of produc-

the speaker-give them cost of pro-

Columbia Slipper
Asks for INDUCTION
To Break Shoe Strike

The Columbia Slipper Co. applied
for an injunction against the Shoe
and Leather Workers Industrial
Union, which is now carrying on a
strike at this shop for the last six
weeks.
Throughout this period of the
strike the firm was frantic in the
stubbornnesS of the entire crew to
bring the boss to terms. Having
failed to break the strike with the
few scabs, the firm is now resorting
to the last means by way of injunc-
ton. These attempts will fail, as
all other attempts have failed. The
crew is determined to fight until a
successful finish.
The union calls upon all shoe and
slipper workers to come on the picket
line Monday morning, 686 Broadway,
New York City.
Through mass picketing the work
ers will defeat any attempt of the
boss and all his strike breaking
schemes.

INDUCTION USED
TOBREAK STRIKE
Building Workers
Continue Picketing

NEW YORK.-The floor scrapers
on the job at 1888 Park Ave, near
126th St., who struck eight weeks ago
against wage-cut of 20 per cent,
are still militantly picketing the
shop.
In spite of the temporary injunc-
ton taken out by the boss, and in
the face of efforts to intimidate the
pickets on the part of hired thugs
and police, the floor scrapers, led
by the Construction Workers Indus
trial League, are battling determin-
eddy for victory.
Singled out because of his mih-
fancy, Mike Stark, organizer of the
Building and Construction Workers
Industrial League, was arrested on
a charge of disorderly conduct. The
trial comes up on Wednesday,
March 9.
All building trade workers are
called on to come to this shop strike
and help in the mass picketing. This
strike is very important because it is
the first strike against a wage-cut in
the building trade industry, led by
the Trade Union Unity League. The
picket line is held every morning at
7:3o.
