People with colds should never Z

we're careful when suffering froI
colds, the grip or flu would neve
get such a hold on the people as

selves away from contact will

The latest news from the South is
that an epidemic of influenza is
coming from one State to another
along the Atlantic Coast - both
North and South Carolina, the peO-
pie are suffering greatly from this
dread disease. While we have many
cases of the grip here, remember
that a case of influenza is much
more severe and requires the atten-
tion of a physician at all times.
The people everywhere should be
careful. If the disease should come
with great force, then close the
churches and schools and moving
picture until the disease has abated.
Stop gatherings of all kinds until
the physicians of the State shall say
that II is safe to go ahead.
Relief Work
Many of our women have been en-
gagged the past week in making gar
ments Of different kinds which We
understand will be donated to the
poor as needed. They are supposed |
to employ only those who are in
need, such as widows and wives of
men out of employment, and pay 20
cents per hour and work eight
hours per day. Mrs. Isaac f. War
rem, Sr., is supervising the work.
This work has been brought to Ell
lendale and other towns through the
efforts of Landreth l.. Layton, a
member of the State Emergency Re-
lief Commission, who deserves great
credit in giving his time and talents
in helping the poor to pass through
the winter with very little suffering.
This work will be a big thing for
Glendale. How long 1t will last we
have been unable to learn, but wei
hope il will last until the winter is
over and then people who are now
engaged in this work will find some
thing else to do. Let us also hope
that the depression now existing
will soon be over and the people
will be once more employed in their /
usual occupations.
Fire
A fire broke out in an outbuilding
back of the Red Mems Hall. last
week which threatened at one time

Millman was passing along the
street and noticed the fire and gave
The alarm and as the fire house was
nearby. the truck was soon on the
scene, and with the aid of chemicals
soon subdued the flames. The origin
Of the fire is unknown. If it had

stables, and other buildings which
we're only few feet away from |
where the fire started, would have

Many fires are started
by those who use the pipe or ciga-
-ettes. Many of our forest fires are 7
started by hunters or wood choppers q
who earelessly drop their matches \
putting them out, after u.s. il

Jr cigarettes.
Many fires can be traced TO incen n
liary origin, and of late it has be- .
