According to the plan each company, regiment, division and corps commander may allot a certain number of students from his command to the schools. The demobolization plans for uni versity. profesional and technical courses in European institutions provide for the attendance of officers and men at a moderate personal cost. For this purpose leave of absence or furloughs will be granted to a limited number from each unit. To make new educational facilities available to men on duty at isolated posts courses will be ottered by cor respondence. As tne plan is now worked out. over 1.000 instructors from American schools and colleges would be brought to France to supplement the teachers available in the ranks of the army. SUGAR WILL BE SAVED. Approximately 200,000,000 pounds of sugar will be saved per year by a new ruling of the food administration which will prevent any one from obtaining more than two pounds of sugar per month. Many people were unconsciously breaking the regulation regarding the distribution of sugar by purchasing their sugar on the basis of one-haif pound per- capita per week. On this basis of four weeks to the month there would be only forty-eight weeks to the year, or three hundred and thirty-six days. This would leave twenty-nine days or practically another month during which sugar would be consumed on a basis of two pounds per capita. With a population of 100,000,000 people this would require about an additional 200.000,000 pounds of sugar. The new regulation which became effective October 15. requires the con sinner to purchase his allotment of sugar every fifteen days, or semimonthly, rather than every week. "may pack substitutes. In order to facilitate the. sale of substitutes with wheat flour the food administration will permit the trade to pack cornmeal, corn Hour, barley Hour and oat flour in packages of 6 and 12 pounds and rye flour in packages of 16 and 32 pounds. This is an amendment to the rule which requires them to be packed in 1.1%, 3. 5. Id, 25, 50 and 100 pound packages. This amendment applies only as long as the present regulation which requires one pound of substitute to be sold with every four pounds of wheat flour, is in effect. A 6-pound package of the first-nam-ed substitute may be sold with 244di pounds of wheat flour, or, if rye flour is sold as a substitute, a 16-pound package of rye flour may be sold with the 24%-pound bag of wheat flour. In order to avoid the waste of cartons the food administrator in a few special cases Iras authorized the use of odd-sized cartons already on hand. Jobbers and reailers may continue to sell such packages not packed by themselves without special permits, but in all cases a special permit must be obtained for packing or repacking odd-sized containers except as outlined in the rule as amended. ELKS WILL ATTEND. All brother Elks who have automobiles and those who wish to attend the funeral of Ralph Miller Thursday afternoon should be at the hail promptly at one o'clock and then drive or be taken to the Miller home. A short service will be held at the grave.

' The United Stales Food Administration bulletin on "Nuts for Nutri1 tion" says: "Bright, crisp October . mornings, and tune to put on the children’s warm, brown sweaters and red tarn o'shanters, and go out into the country, nutting. In the old days , We went because it was a picnic. , Those were days when we thought of nuts as merely something to nibble if we had time to linger and talk together after the Sunday dinner. Then we did not think so much about calories and food values and conservation. Now we know that the incidental nut of the bygone Sunday dinner is a highly important food. Delicious soups may he made of chest , nuts or peanuts, and these two are' good in sandwiches, croquettes, salads and cakes. Peanut butter is wholesome and makes a good filling for sandwiches for the children's school lunch box. The combination of nuts and fruit is excellent in food values and patriotism, too. because these are articles that we are not asked to save, that are locally grown, and that we are not sending to our army abroad. Nuts and raisins are an ideal war dessert. In the summer fruit was sufficient, but now that winter is coming, and more heat-giv-ing food is needed in our diet, just add nuts and serve, and there you are, — well-fed and patriotic.—and you have saved more sugar for Sammy's sugar bowl. And the best part of it is that now in the days when we are learning not to waste anything, a use has been found even for the shells of the nuts. They make them into carbon for gas masks for soldiers. So the children who had such fun gathering the nuts and eating them, can have the plea sure of saving all the shells and taking them to the Red Cross wheie they will be packed into bags and sent away for their last stage of usefulness. For this purpose, however, only the shells of walnuts, butternuts and hickory nuts are used. So pack the lunch boxes, get off to the woods and come heme at the end of the autumn afternoon with baskets of beautiful shiney pecans, hard little hickory nuts, ripe brown chestnuts, and big. fat walnuts.” Mr. and Mrs. Arch Colter and daughters') Mary.

SPANISH INFLUENZA— A NEW NAME FOR AN OLD FAMILIAR DISEASE

Simply the Same Old Grip That Has Swept Over the World Time and Again. The Last Epidemic in the United States Was in 1889-90.

THE SYMPTOMS Grip, or influenza as it is now called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness. and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs at tack the mumous 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 of a severe head cold THE TREATMENT Go to lied at the first symptoms —take a purgative, eat plenty ol nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don’t worry. Nature hetself is tlie only “cure" for infill enza and will throw off the attack if only you conserve your strength, A little quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powders may be given by the physician's directions to allay' the aching. Always call a doctor, since the chief danger of grip is in its weakening effect on the system. which allows complications to develop. These are chiefly pneumonia, and bronchitis, 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 least two days or more after the fever has left you. or if you are over 50 or not strong, stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's Vapoßub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back betw-een the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then Vapoßub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red. spread quickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time, Vapoßub is ab-

sorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the I surface, and thus aids in relieving i the congestion within. NO OCCASION FOR PANIC f There is no occasion for panic—--8 influenza or grip has a very low , percentage of fatalities—not over a one death out of every four huni dred cases, according to the N. C. r Board of Health. The chief dan5, ger lies in complications arising, e attacking principally, patients in y a rundown condition—those who e don’t go to bed soon enough, or y those who get up too early. ■e HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread is principally by human contact, >f chiefly through coughing, sneezy ing or spitting. So avoid persons r- having colds, which means avoid- -- ing crowds —common drinking k cups, rollers, towels, etc. Keep 1. up your bodily strength by plenty s of exercise in the open air, and f- good food. e KEEP FREE FROM COLDS r, Above all. avoid colds, as colds s irritate the lining of the air pass’ sages and render them much bets ter breeding places for the germs, y Use Vick’s Vapoßub at the very '■ first sign of a cold. For a head b cold, melt a little Vapoßub in a e< spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vapoßub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary teakettle. Fill half ful of boiling water, out in half a teaspoon of Vapoßub from time to time—keep the kettle ■ust slowly boiling and inhale the .team arising. Note —Vick's Vapoßub is the discovery of a North Carolina drugjist. who found how- to combine, ; in salve form, Menthol and Cam- - phor. with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme. Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors. Vapoßub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. While comparatively new in certain parts of the north, it is the standard home remedy in the south and west for all forms of cold troubles—oxer six million jars were sold last year. Vapoßub is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, as it is externally applied and can, therefore. be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects.
