ISFWTEHZA STATISTICS.

Number of cases reported to noon Saturday .53 Numbtr of death* reported to noon Saturday ......... 4

The Spanish influenza is on the wane in Terre Haute. Despite the fact of being under the closing ban, Terre Haute people arc adjusting themselves in a sane manner to the fact and realizing that no epidemic has ever existed in the city and that the few eases of actual iuQueiize were muck in the minority. •.

Reports from the city board of health call attention to the fact that the gain since the beginning has been "A very small one and that many who have been quarantined are being released. Mom will be released today.

The records show that starting on .October 3, at which time four cases yj/ero reported, the number of cases reported has been as follows

October 3- -Four cases. October 6—One case. October 7—Three cases. "ctober 8'—Eight cases, October 9, on which date the canvass of the city was taken—seventeen.

October 10—Eight cases. October 11—Twelve cases. The city board of health is of the Opinion that the epidemic is all over as far as Terre Haute is concerned and the reply to the letters sent yesterday by Tr. M. B. VanCleave to Dr. Hurty, state secretary, is awaited anxiously, for it is believed that the state board will see the advisability of opening up the city to ita regular routine.

CLOSE SATHOLIC CHURCHES."

First Timo- in Memory of Pastors It Has Ever Been Done. Tfie pastors of the Catholic churches Itere Saturday morning received letters from Bishop Chatrand at Indianapolis, urging all to observe the state I oard of'health yrder aad deter aU services tomorrow,

Rev. John Ryves, of St. Ann's said: "While it is an unprecedented thing •fo do, the Catholics will conform rigidly to the health rules and there will be no sort, of gatherings in the churches Bunday." U

WW Not Bo Changed.

INDIAN APOLJS, Oct. 12.—Fortytwo counties outside of Marion had reported to the state board of health Hp to ?ast night a total number of 1.293 cases of epidemic influenza and seventy deaths. Among the counties reporting a large number of cases are in Vermillion, with 100 cases Gibson, with 209 Henry, 125 Vigo, 95- Johneon, 116 Klkhart, 171 SteubeL 140 Grant, 168 Newton, ]00 Lakfli 508 Wabash, 322, and Union, 194.

Pleas continue to come to the hoard from various sectors of the state asking if the ban on meetings cannot be lifted within the next few days. These pleas probably will not be answered, as the official order setting the termination of the closing ban for midnight Oct. 20, is declared by the board to be absolute and will not be changed. In Indianapolis, including Ft- Harrison and army schools, there have been 165 deaths from influenza and •pneumonia reported since the outbreak of the epidemic and more than 3.500 are reported under treatment.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

®€0r®e Turn bull has sent to the Tribune his opinion on turning the Clock back, favoring the return to orii Cinal time, thereby giving the workingman and his family aji extra hour to sleep and prepare for the day. Mr.

V Turnbull points that he appreciates the effort being made by the paper in getting an expression from the public

On the matter of daylight saving and also declares that if the masses had their way the clock would be turned toack. "Remember the people who have to toil, who have to arise too early in the morning to get the proper amount vr of rest, necessary to stand a hard day's '•Work," says Mr. Turnbull and adds that the health and rest of the worklogman's family should be taken into consideration as well. "The man who does not have to arrive early and can

Im1bo when it pleases him, at which time he gets up to a good warm fire, does not take into consideration the inan who produces that heat and when he puts orv a fur lined overcoat on leaving the house to protect him from e? the cold and rain does not always retneraber the man who toils, not so'well v, protected."

Mr. Turnbull also is of the opinion that the hoar more of sleep would not *Jono promote better health but would do much to conserve fuel, and he points that the continuation of the present system of time will add to the already heavy load of the working man.

Andrew Porter, colored, claiming to be 46 but appearing several years younger, w.is arrested Saturday when found without a registration card. He will be held for a federal investigation.

ENEMY UNE IN COLLAPSE ALONG SUIPPE

Continued From P«ge One.

Its way northward yesterday to the vicinity of Landries-Et-St. Georges, which apparently marks at least a mile and a halfs progress beyond the famous Kriemhelde line.

Today the Americans were again attacking, against such a determined resistance as to indicate plainly the realization of the Germans that they are facing here a menace to the safety of their entire position in northern Franco through the threat to their vital communicating fanes In the Montemedy area.

French forces are reported to have reached the Retourne river between Houdilcourt and Sault-St. Remy. Houldilcourt is less than four miles east of Neufchatel, one of the principal German bases back of the Champagne front. This advance brings the French up to within two and one-half miles of the Aisne river and threatens the railroad line that parallels that stream. Further east, the French have not advanced so swiftly but have made good progress.

Gourand Sweeps Northward. Near the Argonne forest Gen. Gouraud's men have swept northward and are officially reported to be less than two miles from Vouxieres, an important railroad junction. They are near Sugny and have almost reached Macbault.

French and Italians have moved rapidly along the Chemin-Des-Dames and northward from the Aisne. They have reached the vicinity of Allies which is on the west of the ridge between the Ailette end the Aisne, southeast of Laon.

Blazing villages in the valley of the Oise are reported in the official statement of the French war office issued last evening.

This refers to the section in the vicinity of LaFere, where the first Ger-' man retirement was reported yesterday. These fires are looked upon as evidence that the enemy is preparing to abandon that region, as well as the high, wooded massif of St. Gobain, to the sooth.

Americans Going Ahead.

Bast of St. Quentin and Cambrai, the French, British and Americans are still moving eastward, but their advance is being retarded by German rear guards left for the purpose of covering the retreat of the main bodies of troops. The allied progress, however, appears to be rapid enough to threaten serious results to the German armies to the south, which are also menaced by the collapse of the enemy lines in the Champagne sector.

Between Lens and Douai, the British are sweeping forward over a wide front and have moved up to within striking distance of Douai and Lalle.

Prom the Argonne forest eastward to the high ground east of the Meuse the American army that has broken the Kriemhild line during the fighting of the past few days is continuing its blows at the enemy. New progress has been made near Grand Pre. Further east the village of Romagne is now close to the American line and fierce fighting has been going on there. German resistance here has been desperate and the fighting ea«t of the Metise has also been of the most strenuous.

Allied troops have been attacking the Austrian positions in the mountain sector of the Italian front. This fighting appear? to have been mferely a local operation but the combat has apparently been severe.

FOE QUICK DELIVERY.

Postmen to Deliver Night Telegraph Letters. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Postmen within a few days will assume the task of delivering telegraph messages classed as night letters, in cities and towns where postal deliveries are maintained.

Officials of the postoffice wire control committee who have worked out the system think such messages can be given quicker delivery by postmen in business sections, while even in residential sections the delivery will be quite as expeditiou.4

Delivery of telegrams other than night letters by telegraph messengers will continue for the present. The proposed consolidation of telegraph offices in cities will not be commenced until all compensation contracts have been closed.

JM IN PEACE TALK

Continued From Pags One.

the peace measures most seriously, it is considered certain that an answer will be given to President Wilson on all three points with the same rapidity as that in which he answered Germany.

It is believed from this that it Is the purpose of the Qerman government to pursue the conversations commenced on the possibilities .of a conclusion of peace.

BERLIN WANTS PEACE.

Newspapers With One Exception Take on Miid Tone. COPENHAGEN, Friday, Oct. 11.— With the exception of the incurably chauvenlstic Tages Zeitung of Berlin the German press generally, even the conservative organs, see in President Wilson's note an upright desire to judge the situation objectively and pave the way for peace if honorable peace shall appear possible.

The Tages Zeitung finds the note "utterly unacceptable" and hopes the German government "will give a fitting answer." It is, however, significantly symptomatic of the new order of affairs in Germ^y that the newspaper stands virtually isolated in its antipathy to peace.

Even Otto Hoetsch In the Kruz Zeitung and Max Lens in the Taeglische Rundschau recognize the seriousness of the situation. The latter says:

Will Not Obstruct.

"Wo Will not' obstruct those vho have taken the rudder, but rather help them bear their terrible burden of responsibility. L»et there be no more criminations and recriminations."

The semi-official North German Gazette reminds Its readers that "whatever decision may be reached, the German people must realize that men who with exact knowledge of all factors arrive at a verdict have no other interests to represent than the guaranty and security of Germany's future welfare.

The Vossiche Zeitung savs: "Following the wild ravings of the enemy press, the objectivety of the American note came almost as a joyful surprise."

The newspaper considers America's questions of absolutely honest intent and directed by a desire to wipe out removable obstacles.

The press Joins in declaring President Wilson's third question (whether the new German chancellor is speaking "merely for the constituted authorities of the empire who so far ha\'e conducted the war") as being quite superogatory. The question, they point out, was answered by the reichstag president, Herr Kehernbach, in his remarks following the chancellor's speech. It is assumed that the report of this speech had not reached Wilson in time. The Yorwaerts reiterates as to the first question that ''the German note, if rightly comprehended, has already answered this question."

Only Details Remain.

Continuing, the Yorwaerts says: "When one says that one accepts a program as the basis for negotiations it is equivalent to saying that he accepts this program in principle as his own and that only the details of its execution remain to be adjusted.'*

German newspapers generally abstain from a discussion of the question of invaded territories as being military and not a political question. Vorwaerts, however, says that from a political viewpoint the situation is this: "Since Germany declares that it does not intend to retain any occupied territory its evacuation is only a question of time and methods. It cannot be assumed that any insuperable obstacles to peace work already undertaken can come from this point."

Reply Reported Sent.

BERNE, Oct. 12.—The Wolff Bureau, the semi-official German news agency, has circulated a Frankfurter Zeitung dispatch from Berlin stating that the German reply to President Wilson's note was sent last night and that it is in a sense an acceptance.

Hopes For Durable Peace. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 12.—The North German Zeitung says that the German answer to President Wilson's note of ino.uirv is ready and believes that it was handed to the Swiss government today.

The newsrapemjnJer*tnnds that the 'answer will make farreachine advances and it is hoped that the discussion between Germany and President Wilson will bring forth a durable peace lor the whole world."

Go To Bed and Stay Quiet—Take a Laxative—Eat Plenty of Nourishing Food—Keep Your Strength —Nature Is The Only "Cure."

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC. Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appearance of grip or la grippe! which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C., which Is regarded by many to have been influenza. Ever/ century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90.

There is no occasion for pan!e—influenza itself has a very low percentage of fatalities—not over one deatn out of every four hundred cases, accord-* ing to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally, patients in a run-down condition—those who don't go to bed goon enough, or those wljo get up too early.

THE SYMPTOMS.

Grippe, or influenza, as it i» 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 Ave days. The germs attack the mucuous membrane, or lining of the air passage*.—nose, throat and bronchial tubes—there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsmties, and frequently all the appearances of a severe .head cold.

E E A E N

Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc., may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza—the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off 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 Of 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 least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong, stay

The coal committee turned an additional $8,250, and incidentally this committee is still far in the lead of all of the special committees. The banks took in $26,950, making the total for these Institutions $1,101,300.

Of further interest was a subscription of $7,000 from the Life Insurance Company of Virginia, white the Postal Telegraph company wired in a subscription Of $5,000.,

The women's committfiffs continued sorting cards and progressed so far that the members will have everything in shape for the recanvass of the school districts, which will start next Monday morning. The women who have made the best selling records will do the resoliciting.

EXPECT BIG RESULTS.

Liberty Day Hoped to Bring Outpouring of Subscriptions. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Set aside as Liberty Day in a proclamation issued by President Wilson, today was expected to be marked by a great outpouring of subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan. By virtue of being also Discovery Day, it was a legal holiday in many states and in others was observed in recognition of the president's proclamation.

Although plans for the holding of parades, mass meeting?, pageants and other celebrations largely were abandoned because of the influenza epidemic, house-to-house canvassing and personal appeals were

expected

by campaign officials to make today the high point in the drive toward the $6,000,000,000 goal.

Subscriptions to the loan reported on the eve of Liberty Day were $2,269.876,20ft, which is less in comparison

SATURDAY OCTOBER 12, 191».

SPANISH INFLUENZA-WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED

Nothing New—Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe,.^ That Was Epidemic In 1889-90, Only Then It Came From Russia by Way of France and This Time by Way of Spain

in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.

In order to stimulate the lining of the air passage to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air pas«agMS open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should 1$ applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades^ to open the pores. The VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as heat of the body liberate* 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, Vapo Rub 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 tiiat this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneering or spitting. So avoifl persons having colds—which means avoiding crowds—common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your, bodily strength by plenty of exerci* in the open air, and good food. Abo e all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better "breeding places for the germs.

Jjse Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt, a little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale th^ vapors, or better still, use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettldj If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettlie just alowly boiling and inhale the steam arising.

NOTE Vick's VapoRub Is the discovery of a North Carolina druggist who found how to combine, in salve form, Alenthol and Camphor 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.

VapoRub is comparatively hew to New York State and New England and a few western states where it is just now being introduced, but in other sections of the country it Is th» staniard home remedy in more than, a million homes for all forms of cold trouble^ "Over six million jars were sold last year. It is particularly recommended for children's

with the amount to be raised than at a similar period in any previous campaign. With the big jump in tot:il subscriptions expected to result from today's activities, treasury official# were optimistic.
