At another place beneath the plctur® of a soldier digging in trenches they wrote, "Ma -be he isn't your brother or your son, but h« is digging Now you dig for the Liberty Loan."

DON'T BURN LEAVES
SPRING FIELD, 111., Oct. IS. "ft -^aves are a heritage to mother earth. Let them be used as God intended. Why burn them?"
With the foregoing as a coneUidinp sentiment, the state department of public welfare has just issued a statement announcing that the value of the crops from the 10,000 acres of land at state institutions for the calendar year 1?1S is estimated at 1780,000, the result of intensive agriculture, part of %hich has been the saving of leaves for fertiliser. "Burning leaves Is robbings the soli Of something that can be put back representing millions of dollars in value to tho people," says the statement.

ported the day as being very successful,. having subscribed *33,600 by tfce700 men employed in the shops there-.
A couple of days ago ths Vandalia railroad reported that their men on the St. Louis division had subscribed for $263,000. This amount ha3 been increased $30,000 within the last day and Superintendent Worthington reports} that the amount is still going up and will continue to do so until the close of the Liberty JUan campaign Satur I day night.
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 attack the mucous 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 bed at the first symptoms— take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Nature herself is the only "cure" for influenza, 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 alllay 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 tho lining of the air passages to throw otf tho grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses ol 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, Vapo Rub is 'absorbed through and stim
tions under the department of public welfare to save wherever possible and a strenuous effort has been made to increase the jield from their farms and gardens.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
What It It and How it Should Bo Treatod
This disease, authorities now agree, is simply the- old-fashioned grip that was epidemic in 1889 90. Then it came from Russia by way of France and was given the French name la grippe. This time it comes by

C., which is regarded by many to have been irt^uert*®, Every century has had it# attacks. Beginning with 1851, this country has had fiye epidemics, the last in 1889-90.
THE SYMPTOMS.

ulates the skin, attracting th® blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC. There is no occasion for panic— influenza or grip 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 patients in a run-down condition—those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early.
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 persons having colds, which nipa.ns avoiding crowds— common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS. Above all, avoid colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air paspages and render them much better breeding places for germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and Inhale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary teakettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put In half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle Just slowly boiling and inhalo the steam arising.
NOTE—Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when tho salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredients ar$ liberated in the form of vapors. VapoRub 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—over six million jars were sold last year. VapoRub is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds as it is externally applied and can, therefore, bo used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects.—Advertisement.

said that the main mistake of the central powers, was in underestimating America. He closed by expressing a desire for the creation .of an autonomous Hungary and requesting the abolition of tie common institution of monarchy.
Dr. Alexander Wekerle, the Hungarian premier in replying, justified tho conduct of the government and said that it had created in Germany a sentiment favorable to peace.
EPIDEMIC NOT GAINING.
Only Eight Case* Reported Thursday To Health Board. The merchants of Terre Haute are anxiously awaiting a further report from Dr. J. N. Hurty, state secretary of the board of health, today. That the ban on the city's activities has injured trade In all lines is evidenced by the

at once, however, no report from the state secretary is expected until *hq afternoon. .1
The city board of health reports only eight new cases for yesterday, three of which are confined in one family. One death of the day before was reported with two families released from quar•antine.
The city secretary, Dr. Maurice Van Cleve, wrote Dr. Hurty day before yesterday, stating that the disease was well under check here, and asking his will as to the extending or lifting the order after October 21. Today no reply has been sent the local board. The situation at Whitcomb Heights has assumed a better aspect and it is thought that the presence of the Red Cross nurses and the aid of physicians has put the situation under control which will lessen any danger from that quarter.
