WILSON REJECTS ANY PEACE WITH KAISER Washington. D. C, Oct. 15-The text of President Wilson’s reply to Germany follows: . _ From the Secretary of State to the Charge d' Affaires of Switzerland, ad interim, in charge of Germany's niterrsts in the United States; “October 14. 1918. “Sir- In reply to the communication of the German government, dated the 12th instant, which you handed me today. I have the honor to request you to transmit the following answer: “The unqualified acceptance by the present German government and by a large majority of the German reichstag of the terms laid down by the president of the United States of America in his address to the congress of the United States on the eighth of January. 1918. and in his subsequent addresses, i .stifles the president in making a frank and direct statement of his decision with regard to the communications of the German government of the eighth and twelfth of October, 1918. “It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice are matters of which must be left to the judgment and advice of the military powers of the government of the United States and the allied governments, and the president feels it his duty to say that no arrangements can be accepted by the government of the United States wh.ch does not provide absolutely satisfactory safeguards and guarantees of the maintenance of the present military supremacy of the armies of the United States and of the allies in the field. -He feels confident that he can safely assume that this will also be the judgment and decision of the allied governments. “The president feels that it is his duty to add that neither the government of the United States nor. he is quite sure, the governments with which the government of the United States is associated as belligerent will con. sent to consider an armistice so long as the armed forces of Germany continue the illegal and inhuman practices which they still persist in. “At the very time that the German government approaches the government of the United States with proposals of peace its submarines are engaged in sinking passenger ships at sea, and not the ships alone, but the very boats in which their passengers and crews seek to make their way to safety; and in their present enforced withdrawal from Flanders and France the German armies are pursuing a course of wanton destruction which has always been regarded as in direct violation of the rules and practices of civilized warfare.

“Cities and villages, if not destroyed, are being stripped of all they contain, but ofen their very inhabitants. The nations associated against Germany cannot be expected to agree to a cessation of arms while acts of inhumanity. spoliation and desolation are being continued which they justly look upon with horror and with burning hearts. “It is necessary, also, in order that there may be no possibility of misunderstanding, that the president should very solemnly call the attention of the government of Germany to the language and plain intent of one of the terms of peace which the German government has now accepted. It is contained in the address of the president delivered at Mt. Vernon on the Fourth of July last. It is as follows: "■The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotency.’ -The power which has hitherto controlled the German nation is of the sort here described. It is within the choice of the German nation to alter it. The president’s words just quoted naturally constitute a precedent to peace, if peace is to come by the action of the German people themselves. --The president feels bound to say that the whole process of peace will, in his judgment, depend upon the definiteness and satisfactory character of the guarantees which can be given in this fundamental matter. It is indispensable that the governments associated against Germany should know beyond a peradventure with whom they are dealing. ••The president will make a separate reply to the royal and imperial government of Austria-Hungary. “Accept sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration. t Signed* "ROBERT LANSING.”

I DlgllCU ) WORD FROM DR. SMITH Mrs. W. E. Smith at 12:30 today received a telegram from her husband, Dr. W. E. Smith who was called to the east to help light the Spanish influenza epidemic. He states that lie has been transferred from Barre. Vt. to Pittsfield. Mass. He has been working among the civilian population, where many cases have been re ! corded. A letter from him tells interestingly of the development there, which disease is practically new to Decatur people. Physicians go on duty from six in the morning to eleven at night, after which they are released for absolute rest for the night. A driver and conveyance are furnished them, together with a list of calls to be made, and the driver is educated so that he can take reports. All other vehicles give way to the doctor's conveyance. Ho great is the call for physicians, that orders for them are often listed five and six days ahead, it. being impossible to respond to the call within that time in many cases. In some instances patients are dead before a (physician can even get the opportunity to call.

They wear special masks and. gowns made by the Red Cross, the disease being very virulent and very contagious. o MR. LAUGHREY’S STATEMENT I am informed that the reixirt Is being circulated that I am in favor of a centralized township school. That is a mistake and I believe is being done for the purpose of injuring my candidacy for township trustee. I am not in favor of the centralized township school under any circumstances and particularly so in Blue Creek township where we have two new SIO,OOO school houses arid two more under construction. I am for good schools in the township out not for the centralized school and take tsLs methou of denying the circulated report. ' W. H. LAUGHREY. i Democratic candidate for trustee if Blue Creek township. ■O ' . SENT TO MASSACHUSETTS Mrs. J M. Miller received a telegram from her husband, Dr. Miller at ■ noon, stating that he and Dr. Smith

iiave been ordered to Pittsfield, Mass, for service among influenza patients. The following letter was also received today: Barre. Vt.. Oct. 10 Dear Folk.- : Dr. W. E. Smith and myself are at Barre, doing work for the government by treating Spanish influenza which is in a very virulent form. We ■ are treating from forty to eighty cases : each per day and we find it very much J different from any cases we ever saw in Decatur. In many cases they get . the fever one day and within 24 hours ' develope pneumonia. We received ! instructions as to treatment, in Bost- . on under government teachers who , have been fighting it for weeks and were then sent here to take charge. . We are getting control of the epil demic. There have been about 2.000 r cases here, 240 deaths, there are 900 , cases now and several deaths each , day, but getting less. Only 20 new , cases today against 75 last Monday , so things look much brighter than when we came. t DR. J. M. MILLER. - - - n

SPANISH influenza -what it is ANO HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED Nothing New— Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe Thai Was Epidemic in 1889-90— Only Then it Came from Russia by Way of France and This Time by Way of Spain. Go to Bed and Stay Quiet-Take a Laxative—Eat Plenty o( Nourishing Food— Keep up Your StrengthNature is the Only tire.’ ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR.

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC Spanish influenza, which apix-arcd in Spain in May. has all the appearance of grip or 1:1 PriPPe. *' hk h ha ; swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back a# history run, Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C. which is regarded by rnanv to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks, lieginni'i" with 1831, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic tnfluenza itself has a very low percentage of fatalities-not over one death, out of every four hundred cases, according to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally, patient in a run down condition—those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early. THE SYMPTOMS Grippe, or influenza as it is nowcalled, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and j depression. The temperature Ls from, 100 to 104. and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucuous membrane, or lining of the air passages—nose, throat and bronchial tubes—there Is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances rs a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the. first symptoms, not only for your own sake but co avoid spreading the disease to others —take a purgative, eat plenty rs nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Puwdtf, etc., may be administered by the physisiuu's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for Influenza —the disease must run Hsi course. Nature, herself, will throwoff the attack if only you keep up] your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes inflammation of-the middle ear. or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns—stay in bed at lea-st two days or more after the fever has left you. or if you are over 50 or not strong stay in bed four days cr more, according to the severity rs the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air pasages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm

and keeping tho air passages I thus making the breathing egsi r . Vick's Vapoßub will be found ej../ . live. Hot. wet towels should be . plied over tho throat, chest and btii between the shoulder blades to op.-n , the pores. Thon Vapoßub should .« , rubbed in over the parts until the . skin is red. spread on thickly and . ered with two thicknesses of hot . flannel cloths. Leave the c-lotiiing loose around the neck as the heat u s the body liberates the ingredients in . the form of vapors. These vspon, j!inhaled with each breath, carry the . medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time, Vapoßub i' is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving . the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid jtersons having colds—which means avoiding crowds — common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise In the open air, anl good food. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render th“ra much better breeding places fur the germs. Use Vick's Vapoßub at the very first sign of a cold, melt a little VapoPath in a spoon and inhale the va|o;. or better still, use Vapoßub in a h”i..oin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half fall of boiling water, put in h.-ff a teaspoon of Vapoßub from time to time —keep the kettle Just slowly boiling and inhale the steam aris:n;. NOTE—Vick's Vapoßub is the discufery o' a North Carolina drnggis who found how to JOitibliis, in II form, Mepthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalypti. ' Thyme. Cubebs, etc., so that when the ■ salve is applied to the body heat. these ingredients are lilierated in th’ form of vapors. Vapoßub is comparatively new :n New York State and New England ‘ and a few Western states where it is just now being introduced, hut is .other sections of the eouatry it 3 the standard home remedy in more than a million homes for all forms nt cold troubles. Over six million j»» ' were sold last year. It is particularly recommended for children’s croup >r colds, since it is externally applM and therefore can be used as freelv as desired without the slight’ ■ .harmful effects. Vapoßub can tw > had in three sizes at all druggists. i - ail’t
