Ways To Ward Off Influenza

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. FORTUNATELY, we have learned much about Influenza since the severe epidemic in 191*. j which spread throughout the world and killed thousands upon thousands of people. Then, we knew almost nothing about what caused Influenza. Now. we have a great deal of evidence to show that the disease in caused by a virus, the smallest of all diseasoproducing organisms. We know that there are two strains of this virus. Influenza A and influenza B, and that either or both may produce the disease We have even developed a vaccine against it, which seems to give certain people protection for several months at least. However, many people will still contract influenza even after receiving the vaccine, to that we also know we cannot rely on it 109 per! cent. New Knowledge In the years since the last epidemic we have gained new knowl edge about treatment, too. and have better weapons to combat its worst effect than we ever had in the past. Influenza causes pain and aching of the muscles, somMime* cough and sore throat, headache and lose of appetite, and usually fever. When an attack occurs. It Is advisable that the patient go to ptfiy «|MB as stuck occurs is wtj

I It’s hay fevsr time and those annually afflicted with the ailment are seeking relief either through medical aid or u change of climate. About all that can be done to aid them Is fur every one tu keep the weeds out. - Attorney Dawsun of Indiana|m>lls who claims his tokens tor rides un the streetcars purchased before the price advanced are good, is having a lot of legal fun and getting no end of publicity. He has the support of many who happen to have on hand a good bunch of the old tokens which permit four rides for a quarter instead ot three. Q o — If you happen to be out Llniger Way Wednesday evening of this week don't be surprised to hear an Indian call or see a Red Skin dash across the road. It will be a convention of Red Men of this section with initiation services for twenty-five new members. You will be able to get close enough to sets but not to hear the program. o o The city will receive bids for a lo.uvo KW steam turbine and accessory equipment to bring the , local power and light plant up to requirements. The blds are to be filed by Sept. 12th and will be considered as soon as possible and the contract awarded. We are proud of Decatur Power and . Light and the public will appreciate the efforts to continue it as one of the finest small city plants in the midwest. . 1 o o The Tax Problem In view of mounting tax rates in nearly every unit of state ' government and the Gates administration's repeated threats ot i now forms of taxation to add more to the burden, it might be well ,for tho Indiana taxpayer to pause and study carefully the Indiana Democratic party's 1846 platform, pledge. That pledge was adopted after an exhaustive study of the state's fiscal condition by experts in tax I matters. As a result ot their study and investigation, this group saw an opportunity for the Democratic parly, as It has in the past, to offer a constructive program in the following words: "We advocate that the financial reserves ot the State of Indiana, largely accumulated under Democratic administrations, l>e carefully conserved. , "We are opposed to the creation of any new forms of taxation and we pledge ourselves to oppose with all vigor, the establishment of any tax In the nature of a sales tax. "We affirm our faith Ip the gross income tax law, which law has reduced property taxes, and pledge to resist any effort to weaken its provisions.” r

only in th<- interest of the patient, ■ but also helps to protect others who might catch the disease from < him. Often, the early symptoms may be so mild that the patient tries to • remain up and about. This may cause the disease to become more severe and lead to a prolonged Illness. Other measures should include the correction of constipation, drugs prescribed by the physician > to relieve headache, irritability and sleeplessness and nose drops ■ if there Is a great deal of nasal i congestion. Sometimes, a cough i medicine may also be required i since the cough la usually dry and eztremely irritating. Some patients find a hot drink helpful in 11 overcoming sleeplessness and the • feeling at tiredness which accom- > panies Influenza Infections. For sore throat. L>r. Gunn suggests the brewthing In of a mixture of equal parts of powdered aspirin and aulfaihiazole Lozenges containing one of the sulfonamide drugs or pencillin have also been found helpfulOne of the chief dangers of influenza Is that a secondary Infertlon with streptococci or pneumococci or other germs may occur. For this reason, penicillin and sulfonamide dregs are often administered during an influenzal attack to help ward trit complications. all pt these, of course are , taken only under a physician's j order. _ _ _ ...

Austria To Italy Flights Resumed Flying Fortress Is Put Into Operation I'dine. Italy, Aug. 26—(UP)— The U. 8. army reopened its Vienna-Udine airline today. Just a week after Yugoslav fighters shot down one of its transport planes, with a flying fortress fully armed except for a waist gun. The fortress flew here from Vienna without Incident. Aboard was a full heavy bomber crew skippered by Lt. N. M. Hutchins. The big warplane carried mail and four small pieces of freight, but no passengers. I'dine airport officials said no pa tigers would be carried on the reopened run until orders for their acceptance were issued by headquarters of the European air transport system of the army's air transport command. • Officials gave no indication how long the flying fortresses would be used on the run, or whether they were to replace the unarmed C-47 transport planes permanently. In addition to the C-47 shot down a week ago, the Yugoslavs forced down another transport of the same type 10 days earlier.

Shown are (L to r.)t Secretary Snyder; Robert V. Fleming, chairman of the American Bankers Asso> elation's committee on government borrowing, and C. W. Bailey, of ciarkevilte. Tenn- vice oreaident of the AJLA. (Jntematienal)

Tlie crew of the fortress which reopened lhe line received strict Instructions at Vienna Io avoid flying over Yugoslav territory Hutchins said the bomber remain ed meticulously on Its route and skirted around the northwest tip of Yugoslavia which juts out . serosa the most practical course | liet ween Vienna and I'dine. I The fortress was scheduled for , the return trip to Vienna later ! In the day. Airport officials pointed out i that the flying fuitress had much i more speed and capacity for altitude than the C-47’s previously I used un the run. In bad weather, they sail, lhe fortresses can climb higher in less time, and thus would be able to avoid heavy overcasts more easily than the C-47's. The Yugoslavs have charged repeated violations of their territory by American and British planes. U. H. officials have indicated that most If not all of the flights over Yugoslav territory were caused by bad weather. Direct Primary Is Pledge Os Townsend Candidate Pledges Direct Vote Return Bedford. Ind., Aug. 26 — (UP) — M. Clifford Townsend. Democratic candidate for I’. 8. senator, today was on record with a pledge to return the state to direct primary election balloting. "The Democratic party . . . Gave the voters the primary method,” he said, "but the Republicans later took that right away and set up the convention system.” "Last June the people saw how that system can be manipulated." Townsend told a rally In Wilson park here yesterday. If Democrats are returned to control this fall. Townsend said, "they will give the people a return to the state-wide primary system of naming candidates.” Townsend charged that "five men sat in a room anil selected the state and senate candidates." "Raymond E. Willis of Angola was the only Republican who made any effort to establish an organisation for world peace." he said, and he was the one "they took out of congress." The former governor urged a Democratic congress to help "Mr. Truman . . . secure the peace.” 0 Fresh Eggs Eggs stored in water giaai at home are satisfactory for cooking or baking, but fresh eggs are more satisfactory for frying, poaching and scrambling.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE I RETURNING from Flo's, Charie took off the new drew and hung it in a comer of the clothes closet. She had bought a copy of the Star on her way home. She opened it to Trent's story, her eyes lingering proudly on his name in the byline. A considerable part of her pride was In knowing more than the first itory revealed. Trent had been telling her something about it every evening; that Storer was a hundred per cent for exposing the crooks—he knew some things this Geiael had put over before that were pretty shady—but that they had to go ahead carefully, so as not to run Into a libel suit That Brisco was doing some good sleuthing asound Tony's. "And I’m getting close to what I want to know about the Queen City Realty Company!" On a sudden impulse she ran down the stairs to ths telephone and called her mother. "Mother, have you seen the Star?" "Darling, you sound breathless! No, I haven't seen tonight's—what's in it?” “An article by Trent—bis name's in a by-line!" “Is it Important enough to send Nettie out for a paper?" Mary Patten's tone was amused, tolerant "Mother, it is! It’s awfully important! It's going to be more so, for Trent’s going to write a lot more! You'll understand when you read this one." "Dear me, I must certainly get a paper," laughed Mary Patten. "Mother, I looked at one of those new apartments on Fairview this afternoon. It's sweet! There are only two In the building that haven't been rented—the superintendent said l*d have to take it right away, if I wanted it It's SBO a month, which isn't much, considering the location. . . "It is a nicealocation," affirmed Mary Patten. ’Eighty is reasonable for It." "I’ll tell Trent about !t, tonight," Charie hummed a little snatch of song as she prepared their supper, because, in her fancy, she was moving about that perfect love of a kitchen in the apartment she had Inspected. There wasn't room in her thoughts for the warning Flo had Rven her. Or for any concern over o's affairs, Trent came but tonight hs did not come running up jhe stairs as he usually did. Charie ran to meet him. "I've read it, Trent! 1 bought a paper, coming home. J called Mother Then she saw the curious set of his face—just hard, with no excitement tn IL Trent!

| stones starting:" Trent stripped off his eoat, went to the clothes closet with it. “It's a beginning,” he said enigmatically over his shoulder. Trent, do you know who It Is— I mean, who is paying the money?" If he knew, it should be his triumphant moment! “Looks like it." He crossed to the window, threw it open a little violently. "What's the idea of having It so stuffy in here?" Charie was hurt "Someone was cooking with garlic. I preferred to smother." She heard her tone cutting as Flo's so often was, but she was proud of achieving it. Trent did not notice it. He turned from the window, his jaw still hard. "Supper ready?” "As soon as I put it on." Trent ate in almost complete silence and Charie's hurt and resentment grew with each moment. But it had the effect of strengthening her determination to tell him about the apartment She put down her fork. Trent, 1 went through one of those new apartments on Fairview Avenue this afternoon. You know, the ones facing the park, a few blocks from Mother's. ..." "Did you?" He said it as if she’d said ahe’d gone through the Zoo! Two bright spots of color burned on Charie's cheeks. They're darling. The living room la about half the size of this room, the bedroom's big enough for twin beds. The kitchen Is positively perfect There’s a shower, of course—and the bathroom Ms one of those tricky shaving lights. And there's a balcony outside the living room big enough to set up a card table. We —anyone could eat out there!" "Bounds as If it had everything,” commented Trent "And I told the superintendent I'd let him know in a few days whether we wanted it.” Now Trent's whole attention was caught "You told the superintendent what?" “You said we eouid move, Trent. The other night, you promised. And one has to look around and if you find something you specially like, you have to grab it . . ." Trent laughed though then was no mirth in ft "Tea, I premised. But you're going a little too fast. We’ve got to do some figuring first, haven't we? For instance, what was the rent of this place you so specially like?" "Only SB9 a month." “Only eighty!" Trent laughed again. “Didn't you ever study arithmetic? What would that leave us to go on? Not much!” T have figured, Trent!" Charie made her voice confident over the little fear springing into her heart.
