GRIPPE MENACES PEOPLE jF COUNTY Owing to Present Weather Conditions, the Danger Is Very Great. t4 A LIST OF PRECAUTIONS

WAYNE COUNTY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT EAT VERY MUCH, AVOID ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AND KEEP THE FEET DRY. This is the pneumonia and grippe season. The rise in the temperature yesterday melted the snow and many who had occasion to use the streets went home with wet feet. Almost similar were conditions this morning when about 7:30 o'clock it began snowing after a hard rain, making it very wet under foot. Wot feet and over eating are fir6t aids to pneumonia and grippe. During the winter, there have been a large number of deaths from pneumonia, and grippe has been indirectly responsible for some. Pneumonia is a parasitical disease. The particular bacilli that cause it are Known to medicine as dipiococci, because they always travel in pairs. Generally they are transmitted from the sputum of a victim to the well person, and because of this it is of the highest importance that the sputum should be confined to vessels which may be emptied into boiling water. Heat alone will kill them. May be Caught Anywhere. It is a recoj?nized fact, physicians r-y, that the disease may be contracted anywhere by persons who move outside their own homes. The only protection of the individual lies in the power of resistance which his constitution may show to the disease. Persons who are in perfect health are more likely to be immune to the pneumonia becilli than the man whose system has become "run down." By the same course of reasoning it may be said that the person whose general condition is good more easily throws off the disease after it has been acquired than the person whose physical power of resistance is weak. While the cold and damp months constitute what is known as the ' pneumonia season," one of the best preventives against the disease is cold air and free ventilation. A physician stated today: Ventilate Your Home. ,' lt is during the period of low temperature that people huddle together indoors, close their windows and breathe vitiated air. This, taken into the luna;s. poisons the body, lowering its resistive powers, and in this way makes a fertile soil for the development of germs. "The remedy is good ventilation, breathing at all times pure air with its life-sustaining powers. Diseases of this character, sometimes brought about by; coming from an overheated building where large numbers of people have assembled, into the night air as a very low temperature are produced not so much from the sudden change of temperature as by the lowered resistive powers, the result of breathing foul air for a long time indoors. "A room should be well ventilated, especially bedrooms. Here the windows should be open all night, even at zero weather. There will not be as much danger to the normal individual of pneumonia, pulmonary diseases, or what is known as 'catching cold' in breathing cold air as there is in a room warmer but not ventilated. The night air in cities is purer than day air." Pure Air is Needed. While pure air is one of the most important preventives of the disease, the individual should not neglect any precaution which will tend to keep the physical self in good condition. Users of alcohol are more likely to contract, the disease than teetotalers. Physicians have a class of patients known as alcohol pneumonia victims. The history of these cases is "that r.iost of the sufferers contract pneumonia while under the influence of drink. A stimulant is a necessary part of the treatment of the malady, and to a person accustomed to alcohol the administration of such large doses is required that the stimulant itself frequently becomes a danger. Keep the Feet Dry. Another important precaution is to keep the feet dry. Wet feet cause colds and during the congestion from a cold, the bacilli find a safe lodging place. The neglect of colds and fatigue lessen the resistive power of the patient and predispose to the more serious malady. Do farmers est the proper sort of food? The farmer of today buys a mnch larger proportion of the food that goes on the table than he did ten years ago. It's a good thing that this is so because he has a peat variety to select from. He should, however, use great care in selecting for the best results in health and strength. The widespread tendency in the city to increase the amount of Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scientific men that the Quaker Oats fed man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor. Fanners should give this subject careful thought and should increase the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by themselves, their children and the farmhands.

At the Murray. A program of variety including comedy, -drama and vocal and instrumental music is attracting large crowds at the Murray theater this week. The Marimba Band, direct from the City of Mexico, upon an Instrument from the home land are presenting the best kind of music in an acceptable manner. The vocal selections by the Italian duo, Martelli and Rosi are fine. They are rendering a beautiful selection from II Trovatore in addition to the solos, all of which are sung in an artistic manner. The one act drama "The Cashier," by Romaine Fielding and Mabel Vann, cannot help but please all who desire to see such a drama put on in a clqver and convincing way. "The Previous Mr. Fresh" is presented by Barertt and Co., and in a comical manner bring out the temptations that beset the bargain hunter and the effect on the home life. "The Flight by Airship" as shown by the motion pictures indicate the possibilities of that mode of travel for those who are matrimonially inclined and desire a little novelty. Fluffy Ruffles. Tomorow night beautiful Florence Gear, in the merry musical comedy "Fluffy Ruffles," will hold forth at the Gennett theater. The part of "Fluffy Ruffles" is said to fit Miss Gear even better than did "Marrying Mary," and her success in that role was the talk of last season. A hint of the quality of the company that is supporting Miss Gear is conveyed by the statement that every part is taken by a specially chosen artist. As has always been her custom Miss Gear is displaying some stunning gowns and hats Arcade. Herbert G. Payne the well known entertainer and lecturer will appear at the Arcade Wednesday and Thursday In his illustrated lecture on "Andersonville Prison." The terrible rebel prison pen of the civil war. Fully illustrated this forms an entertainment both thrilling and instructive. Every school child should hear it. Together with the regular program it forms an hour's amusement seldom equalled. "Gentleman From Mississippi." This evening the stage of the Gennett will be given up to "A Gentleman From Mississippi," a comedy written by Harrison Rhodes and Thomas A. Wise, and presented by Wm. A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer. Theatergoers of this city are more or less familiar with the merits of the piece, which has been one of the most successful plays produced within the last year or two. The story is woven with a number of ludicrous adventures of a newly elected Southern senator in Washington, three or four little love romances, and considerable intrigue and political graft, making one of the most interesting plots imaginable. A simple cotton planter from Mississippi has been elected by the people of his native state to represent them in the senate and the play opens at the time of his arrival in Washington. Here he is met by a newspaper reporter, "Bud" Haines, who impresses him so favorably that he makes the reporter his secretary. Bud is well versed in all the trickery of life in the national capitol and saves the new senator from many pitfalls. A shady land deal is engineered by some politicians and the senator is compromised by his son and daughter being induced to invest in it. He finds a way, however, to defeat the schemers and save both his money and his honor. Eight Bells. All lovers of good, wholesome entertainment should visit the Gennett Tuesday, Feb. 22, matinee or night and witness the Brothers Byrne in their screamingly funny play the new "Eight Bells," an entirely original production of spectacular pantomimic comedy, written by John F. Byrne. He is

v.

also the inventor of the mechanical devices, pantomimic tricks, etc., and never claimed any loftier motive than to make an addition to the gayety of the nation, and he has succeeded beyond all shadow of a doubt. The new "Eight Bells' is a compound of farce comedy, pantomime and spectacle, and with the extraordinary physical agility of the Brothers Byrne, it has swung itself in the first rank of popular attractions. The effects produced are the most mystical and laughable ever conceived, and keeps the Byrnes and their associates continually on the go, showing no signs of flagging, and allowing the action of the play to proceed with a briskness that is refreshing in a stage production. The entire Byrne family, four in number, appear in the new "Eight Bells" and they are supported by a company of clever pantqmimists and comedians. In fact nothing has been left undone to make this Byrne production a leader in its class. COLDS. CAUSE HEADACHE. LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine, the world wide Cold and Grip remedy, removes cause.

Some years ago there was a trial for murder In Ireland in which the evidence was so palpably Insufficient that the Judge stopped the case and directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. A well known lawyer, however, who wished to do something for the fee be had received for the defense, claimed the privilege of addressing the court. "We'll hear you with pleasure, Mr. B.," said the judge, "but to prevent accident we'll first acquit the prisoner." Select. Once when passing through a cemetery In Lenox Eliot Gregory was surprised to see that the members of one old New England family had been buried in a circle, with their feet toward its center. He asked the reason for this arrangement, and a wit of that day, daughter of Mrs. Stowe, replied. "So that when they rise at the last day only members of their own family may face them!" WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD Lady Learned About Cardui, The Woman's Tonic and is Now Enthusiastic in its Praise. Mount Pleasant, Tenn. "Cardui is all you claim for it, and more," writes Mrs. M. E. Rail, of this place. "I was a great sufferer for 2 years and was very weak, but I learned about Cardui, and decided to try it Now I am in perfect health. "My daughter, when changing into womanhood, got in very bad health. I gave her Cardui and now she enjoys good health. "Cardui is worth its weight in gold. I recommend it for young and old." Being composed exclusively of harmless vegetable ingredients, with a mild and gentle medicinal action, Cardui is the best medicine for weak, sick girls and women. It has no harsh, powerful, near-poisonous action, like some of the strong minerals and drugs but helps nature to perform a cure in a natural easy way. Try Cardui. - N- K'rift J Advtewy Dept..

To Decide Republican State Committee

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. Its. It is probable that a meeting of the republican state committee will be held soon after March 1 for the purpose of considering the question of the state convention and the time of holding it. Headquarters will be opened at the Claypool probably on March 1. Republicans who have been in Indianapolis since the reorganization of the state committee declare that it is their belief that the state committee should waste little time in setting the date for the state convention. There is little disposition, however, to have the convention postponed until the new committee and its chairman has had time to get its bearings and a clear understanding of conditions all over the state. Should Waste No Time. "So far as platforms and principles are concerned," said one republican, "I believe that we shouldwaste any time in considering the time for a state convention. We know just where we are and we don't care whether the democrats hold their convention before we do or afterwards. We are not afraid to set forth our platform principles first, their idea being of course that they can set a standard which we cannot reach." However it is understood that State Chairman Lee will wish some time in which to look over conditions in the state. Mr. Lee is a student when it comes to political matters. When he was in Indianapolis last week on the occasion of the meeting of the republican editors he had several conferences. After he had had talks with a number of the workers from over the state he said: Conditions Are Good. "So far as I can judge now conditions are excellent all over the state and the reports which I have received are encouraging. Just now I am busy getting myself in touch with republican state affairs and after I have done this I hope to be able to talk intelligently on political conditions." Mr. Lee's attitude, that of the student has been the subject of much discussion among republicans since he was elected state chairman. The republicans like the new head of the committee because he does not assume to know it all. They believe this is a very good beginning and they feel much surer of their ground than they would if the state chairman thought he was the whole thing in state politics. The appointment of Dan Chapin of Rockville to take the place of Mr. Lee as a special revenue officer met with general approval from the republicans. Mr. Chapin did good work for the old state committee and his recent appointment was pleasing to all elements of the party. Mr. Chapin has never been known as an out and out Beveridge man, but his political services have been valuable and he is regarded as a good man for the place. Appointments Wise Ones. The appointments of postmasters which are being made just now on the recommendation of Senator Beveridge call to mind the fact -that Senator Beveridge has taken qualification and ability into consideration first In making his appointments. Since the list of appointments have been made public there has been criticism from some sources on the ground that the appointments would not be to the best political advantage, but there has never been any criticism to the effect that the most efficient man was not appointed. Take for example the appointment at Martinsville in the Fifth district. At that place Frank T. Singleton, formerly president of the Indiana republican editorial association was appointed postmaster. One Martinsville republican came to Indianapolis with the story that the appointment of Singleton would lose the party fifty votes in that county. Singleton Was Best. He said this was true because Singleton did not have such a large political following as some of the other men mentioned for the postniastership. However when this republican was asked who would make the best post master, and who was best qualified h waa compelled to answer that it warSingleton. It is said that never before in th appointment of postmasters in Indiana Villi Dave Two Car Loads of No. 1 Timothy Hay on Track This Week What do you know about my SCOTCH COLLIE DOG?

was the matter gone into any more thoroughly than it has been in this case and always with the end in view of getting efficient men. Senator Beveridge and his secretary and clerks were busy on the matter of appointments for weeks and each individual case was taken up and thrashed out thoroughly after each man concerned had had a hearing. Keep Out of Politics. Mayor Shank of Indianaiolis addressed the Indiana Retail Hardware association at the opening session of its annual convention yesterday afternoon and he told the hardware men to keep out of politics. "When I was in the heat of the campaign." said the mayor, "one of my speakers told an audience that he was sure that after I was elected the people would rise up and call me blessed. But I want to say to you that I have been called everything but blessed. I think if I had it to do over again I would not run for mayor. I would try to get into the hardware business or something of that kind. "People have said a good deal about me sending a saloon keeper to church. Well, 1 11 tell you how it was. That fellow told the policeman that he was not in hia saloon. He said he was at church. Then he came up and told me that he had not been to church for three years. So I thought I would send him. I may go to church myself some of tho-se das. 1 haven't been to church myself for three or four years and I believe that it would do me good. Wants Them to Come Back. "Now, you people come back here next year and if I haven't got my head shot off by that time I believe the people will be saying that I am a pretty good mayor. I want you to tome bat k next year and every year." The mayor made a hit with the hardware men when he said that the catalogue houses were the greatest Deep (Sold GLENN

evil with which they had to contend and that the catalogue goods were often misrepresented. He said If he could pa?s an ordinance in Indiana-; polis to end such business he would do so. The convention of the hardware men which began yesterday is regarded as the best in the history of the organization. It is expected that more than 1," men counected with the trade will be in the city between now and Friday when the convention will end. Fred Bartholomew of Michigan City president, in his address gave a number of pointers and told the dealers that they should cut the price on articles which are used by the catalogue houses as leaders. He said also that they should watch their bookkeeping carefully and should know Just how much their expenses were. A beautiful gavel was presented to Mr. Bartholomew. There is little doubt but that Sharon E. Jones of Richmond, will be elected association president. Now They Are Married.
