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.

impression, it seems proper to ex
plain the manner in which the of-
vKciar figures are obtained and made
public. Every afternoon at 3 o'clock
Washington time, the 12 federal re-
. serve banks of the country report
to the Treasury department every
subscription made through incorpo
rated banks and trust companies,
on which deposits of 10 per cent
have been paid. These reports are
made public absolutely without
hange. Thjt figures; are taken di-
rectly from telegrams sent by the
governor of each federal reserve
1. bank and Incorporated into the
i press statement. No attempt is
mioe to create by those figures
either a goodor a bad impression
of the manner in which the loan is
progressing. The whole truth of the
situation is told by the figures and
they speak for themselves."

SPANISH INFLUENZA--WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
Vas Epidemic in 1889-90, Only Then It Came From
Russia by Way of France and This Time
by Way of Spain.

ture Is the
"Cure."
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.
