ANTI-FLU TIPS
Increase of Grippe, Influenza Prompts Statement
From Health Commissioner-Nine Rules Sug-
gested for Protection

Because cases of influenza and
grippe have been on the increas'
for the past two weeks in Con-
necticut and because three
fourths of all cases have in the
past been reported in January
and February, DR.. Stanley H. Os-
born, state co:..:-:;...S;Sioner Of
health, today issued an emergen-
cy statement declaring that influ-
enza can be prevented and list
ing some simple rules for avoid
ing 1t.
Influenza and grippe are two
names for the same disease, DR..
Osborn said, the former name be-
ing applied when the illness Is
severe enough to cause a fever, a
feeling of weakness with aches
and pains about the back and
legs. To prevent 1t, he suggested
the following rules:
/. Secure adequate sleep and
rest (eight to 10 hours Sleep.
2. Eat a moderate, mixed diet
and drink water freely at regu-
lar periods (six to eight glasses
daily.
3. Wear clothing suitable fol
the occasion, particularly cloth
ing which prevents chilling of the
body surfaces and which keeps
the body dry.
4. Avoid people with colds, es-
pecially those who are sneezing
and coughing. There is more dan
ger from contact with those Just
beginning to feel sick than from
those Ill enough to be confined to
bed.
S. Keep out Of crowds as far as
possible. especially crowds in
closed places.
6. Avoid use of common towels,
wash basins, glasses, eating uten.
sis. and toilet articles.
Z. Wash the hands before eat
ing.
8. Avoid use Of any so-called
preventives. Vaccines, sera and
advertised preventives seem to
be of no value.
9. Avoid alcoholic beverages
and stimulants Of all sorts.
If use of such precautionary
measures should fail and you
should become Ill with symptoms
of influenza, even though mild,
go to bed at once and call your
physician, DR.. Osborn advised.
Going to bed will give you the
best chance to recover without a
complication such as pneumonia,
and 1t will also limit the chances
of spreading the disease to others.
There Is no specific "cure" for in
fluenza. The best road to recovery
is to build up your own resistance
to the infection and this can be
done by following the doctors in
structions.
The most serious complication
Of influenza Is pneumonia, the
commissioner stated. If, during
the course Of an attack Of mild
influenza or grippe, you should
have sudden rise In tempera-

NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRIES

The greatest material asset that North Carolina
has is its industrial plants And yet, it is surprs-
ing to note the attitude which many people take
in connection with industry in this state.
At practically every session of the legislature
there is to be found certain bloc which seems
DESTROYS of throttlng industry through oppressive
taxation and other forms of discrimination.
Without its Industries, North Carolina would be
in a bad fix, indeed. Imagine what our tax rate
would be if we tried to support an eight months
term of school, if we attempted to continue our
road building program or if we endeavored to keep
up our progress along many other lines without
the assistance of industry!
Instead of trying to throttle industry, we should
endeavor to give it every encouragement and CO.
operation in order that plants might be at
tracted here The more industries we get the
greater will be our progress and the lower will be-
come our tax rate.
That is point which many people apparently
fail to see They favor burdening industry with
every possible kind Of handicap and they lose sight
of the fact that such a course would prove equally
injurious to themselves.
In the advertising program which North Caro-
lima is carrying out at the present time, the great
est benefits to be accomplished lie in obtaining new
mills and factories for the state. We cannot obtain
them, however, by manifesting an unfriendly and
unfair atttude.-State Magazine.

Indebtedness of the United States had reached an
al-time high, sort of report coming frequently
from Washington as the debt mounts. That means
that there is a mortgage on every person IN the
United States who has property or income.
Recent new borrowing by the federal govern
ment of the United States raised its outright debt
to a new high total Somewhere around 81 billion
dollars, as we recall. Borrowing by government
agencies and acknowledgements corporations
whose repayment is guaranteed by the government
has created an additional contingent liability
which with the other debt runs the total up around
AZ billions of dollars.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BooTLEcGING AND ABc STORES

All indications are that it will be some time
before Haywood county will vote on the establish
ment of liquor stores in this county, and 1t Is only
guess to the outcome in the event such an
election is called.
In the meantime, it might be wise to look at
some of the problems confronting other counties
that have liquor stores. As we have said before
in this column, the establishment of liquor stores
in county does not solve the whisky problem
This is probably proven more in an editorial
which recently appeared in the Smithheld Herald
under the caption, "Bootlegging and ABC Stores.
The Herald is published in the county seat OF
Johnston county, which recently went wet, and the
editorial read as follows:
"Edgecombe county, with ABC stores now for
two years, has finally got around to cracking down
on the bootleggers, or else other attempts have
failed to exterminate them. Fifty-six warrants
were served Sunday on persons accused of viola
ton of the state liquor laws in and around Tar
boro.. How many more in other parts of Edge
combe left undisturbed is not known. Officers max
ing the SO arrests included special ABC officers
working under cover.
Either the Edgecombe officers have not tried to
get the bootleggers or they have failed mserably
in their attempts. One of the stock arguments in
the recent liquor election held in Johnston and
which went in favor of liquor stores, was that
ABC stores would put bootleggers out of business.
Obviously the ABC stores in Edgecombe have not
hurt bootegging or blind tigering, if after two
years So persons are found engaging in illicit
traffic.
Thine Johnston county ABC board is certainly
not waiting two years to crack down on offenders
of the law but it remains to be seen how effective
the recent raids will be in actually booming illegal
