Commenting on the day's show- review tonight Officer Who Told Huns to "Go to Hell" Not Swearing Man New York. Oct. 11. When Maj. Charles Whittlesley, commander of the now famous "Lost battalion" an swered the German demand for the surrender of his surrounded and starving battalion in the Argonne forest with an invitation to "go to hell," he was not swearing, but only giving the Germans "good advice," says Mrs. G. Sullivan, the proud landlady of a boarding house here in which the major lived for seven years before he joined the army. "He never was a swearing man," Mrs. Sullivan, said today. "Not a single oath did I hear out of him in the seven years he was here, and I've seen him looking for a collar button at that. But you would not call his remark to the Germans swearing exactly, would you? It was just what I would call very good advice."" According to Mrs. Sullivan, Major Whittlesley was "as quiet as a moHse and "not at all like a fighter." He is 35 years and was recently graduated from Willims college and the Harvard law school. He trained at Plattsburg and was commissioned a captain, later receiving his major's leaves overseas. Enemy Alien Arrested for Working Extortion Scheme San Francisco, Oct. 11.

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR NO OCCASION FOR PANIC Spanish influenza, which ap peared inJ5pain in May, has all the appearance of crip or la grippe, which has swepr 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 five epidemics, the lapt in 1889-90. -There is no occasion for panic influenza itself has a very low per centage of fatalities not over one death out of every four hundred "ca?ies, 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 eBrly. THE SYMPTOMS Grippe, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizzi ness, and a general feeling of weak ness and depression. The tempera ture is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mu cous membrane, or lining of the air passages nose, throat and bron chial tubes there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often ;imcs 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, but to avoid spreading the disease to others take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfect ly 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 in fluenza the disease must run its course, but Nature 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 re sistance 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 four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe erms, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air pas sages 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 nibbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body lib erates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each brettth, carry the medica tion directly to the parts affected. At tho same time, VapoRub is ab sorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the sur face, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principal ly 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, asVolds irritate the lin ing of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vjck'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.1 use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, usa 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 inhalehe steam arising, NOTE Vick's VapoRub is the dis covery of a North Carolina drug gist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyp tus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are lib erated in the form of vapors. VapoRub is comparatively new" in New York State and New Eng land and a few Western states, where it is just now being intro duced, but in the other sections -of the country it is the standard home remedy in over a million homes for nil 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 ef-' fects. VapoRub can be had in three sizes at alLdruggists. Adv. THE UNITED STATES FUEL ADMINISTRATION urges elcc tricity users to burn Mazda lamps to conserve coal.
