WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct 14.
Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, returned from the western front Sun day with the message that the Liberty Loan "must go over the top" whatever the result of peace proposals. This was the only comment the secretary would make on the peace overtures. Ilia own explanation of his trip shows that it was taken to pave the way for war on a greater scale. "The army has done and is doing all that a proud and grateful country could ask," Baker said on reaching Washington Sunday night, "and. the time has come for us to put in every ounce of our strength to assure us a complete victory. The people at home have a solemn responsibility for their share in the final result "The Liberty Loan must go over the top. Its success la both our message of gratitude to the boys who are braving war'a worst perils In defense of our liberty and a message to Germany that our people at home are as resolute as our soldiers are brave. "Whatever the result of the peace proposals, the War department must proceed at full speed with men and supplies and the people must supply the army until the boys are back with the fruits of victory safe and assured. If every American could have seen our boys in khaki as they stormed the German trenches, assailed with shrapnel, high explosive and machine-gun fire he would be eager to subscribe his all to the Liberty loan, the success of which, after all, is the measure of our support for the cause for which these boys are giving their lives. Attitude Cordial. "My trip abroad was principally for the purpose of arranging further cooperation in the mater of shipping for troops and supplies. It was entirely successful and a complete understanding was reached which assures the American army adequate tonnage for its support. The matter was taken up with the inter-allied Maritime Transphrt Council and the co-operation of the British. French and Italian governments was heartily given. "Many questions involving co-operation on the part of the several governments were taken up and satisfactorily settled." the secretary continued. "The attitude of both the governments and the people of the European allies toward America is cordial and every question is approached from the point of view of uniting our strength in the common cause and with the understandings which have been broached with regard to shipping, air c-nft, ordnance and other parts of the allied program, the contribution which
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.
Go to Bed and Stay Quiet Take A Laxative Eat Plenty of Nourishing Food Keep up Your Strenqth Nature Is The "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. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this country has had fiv. epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic influenza itself 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. THE SYMPTOMS Crlppe, or influenza a3 it is cow called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, .ind 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, oftentimes a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake Isut 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 it 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 or 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 in bed four days or
EATON, O., Oct 14. In the presence of a large number of friends and relatives, funeral services for Minor Deem, who died from the effects of an atack of Influenza at Camp Sherman, were conducted Sunday afternoon in Mound vim rpmotprv. where the remains were
buried. Rev. Shaw, of the Methodist, church, conducted the services, ine. decedent was 22 years of age, ana he entered Camp Sherman with a contingent of Preble county selects about eight weeks ago. He was the first Eaton boy to die at camp or in the service, so far as known at this time. He was a Bon of Mrs. Carrie Deem, and a brother of Harry W. Deem, both of this city. He was a fine young man and had hosts of friends. He was a graduate of the local public schools. DIES FROM PNEUMONIA. EATON, O.. Oct. 14. Pneumonia, resulting from an attack of typhoid fever caused the death of Miss Gertrude Biddlnger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Biddinger, at the family home, southeast of here, where it was expected funeral services would be held Monday. She was the only child and was about 23 years o fage. Recipe for a Mild Laxative Cough Syrup Made With Simple Sugar Syrup and Mentha-Laxene in About Five Miuntes. Make a syrup with a pint of sugar and a half pint of boiling water, cool and pour into a bottle or jar. Then add the contents of a 2 oz. bottle of Mentho-Laxene, shake well, and take a teaspoonful four to eight times a day for head or cliest colds, coughs, bronchitis, whooping cough or catarrh of head and threat. Actually, the very first dose will show you the wonderful virtues in Mentho-Laxene. It is penetrating, healing, soothing and curative to a greater extent than anything ever discovered. Children like it and adults use it from Maine to California. Physicians prescribe it, hospitals use it, any why should not you enjoy the benefits of a cheap, home-made remedy free from narcotic, sickening drugs? Ask your druggist for MenthoLaxene and insist on getting it, for it Is guaranteed to please every purchaser or money back by the Blackburn Products Co., Dayton, Ohio. Adv E' 1 S1 more, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw oft the grippe 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 of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the hrt 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, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aid3 in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that thi3 is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid persons having colds which means avoiding crowds common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air,; and good food. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds Irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon ana inhale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub In a benzoin steam kettle. 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 kettle just slowly 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, Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cufcebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors. VapoRub is. comparatively new in 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 the standard home remedy in more than a million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jars were sold last year. It is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects. VapoRub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. Adv. sS9 r4 ?1 t. an n
