THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER U, 191
BOARD WILL PAY
TEACHERS FOR
ALL IDLE TIME
I "Class Schedules Will Be Ar-
ranged to'Make Up the
1 Time Lost Through
Quarantine.
Will the school teachers of
Omaha set their salaries for the
weeks during which they are idle
because of the "flu" epidemic? This
is a. question that is- being asked
frequency. The teachers are 're
ceiving their pay and Superinten-
dent jsevendge says they will con
i tinue to receive it. Suspension of
the school ' sessions is no fault of
theirs and, besides, they will be
i called upon to work all the harder
when sessions start again, to make
" up for the idle weeks. Thirty teach
ers .have resigned since the schools
closed and have accepted better po
sitions. In fact, the teachers and princi
pals are working now on plans for
making up the lost time. The
schedules will be arranged so that
classes will be doubled up on the
- essential studies and some sf the
: less essential things will be omitted
until the classes are up to schedule
on those that are absolutely essen
tial. The principals of the various
' schools are now rearranging, the
classes in the different grades so
that this lost time may be made up.
The principals themselves will
teach extra classes in the halls un
til they have caught up.
It is stated also that there will be
only one week vacation at Christ-
mas instead of the usual two
weeks. V
Probably the annual meeting of
the "Nebraska State Teachers' asso
ciation will hf omitted this year or.
at any rate, postponed until later in
the winter. I his meeting is scnea
uled to be h.eld in Omaha the week
of November 4, which would be the
-first week when the schools reopen
if the quarantine is lifted from the
state at the earliest date mentioned
in the State Board of Health's or
der. An elaborate program has
.been prepared for the meeting and
national educators and entertainers
have, been engaged to come here.

" Six t)f the Enemy Put to
Rout by Lone Omaha Man
I It is not unusual for a khaki-clad
! Yank to charge a whole nest of
I German machine, guns or to si'ence
I a battery singU-handed, and bring
I his prisoner inta camp at the point
i of a bayonet, but it is rather un
t - usual to hear of sufh a feat being
pulled off in the streets of an
I American city.
Such was the case Wednesday
and-right here in Omaha, except
' that it was not a German battery
; that was silenced.
James Wicker, a. former yemploye
i at the U. P. headquarters, 'recently
received his notification to report
f lot service and was on his way to
I "the train when he was accosted by
a half dozen overgrown- Duuies at
the corner of Sixteenth and Jack-1
son streets. At hrst young wicKer
; was amazed, but finding that his as
sailants were inteni upon carrying
out their intent he finally set down
Tlis grips and took them on..
The boys had not exactly figured
out just the "exact amount oLtsrri
tory" they had taken in, for al
though Wicker is only of slight
build, he is thoroughly familiar with
the- proper methods of using his
fists and witnesses to the scene say
it was great sport to see how quick
ly he put his assailants to flight.
All who say the sport say that
Wicker will make a good soldier,
and when the "cop" found out what
had occurred, he merely shook
"Wicker's hand and wished him good
', luck.
, The rest of gang had beat it in
sufficient time to .make good their
get-away. Young Wicker could
give no reason for the attack and
was inclined to believe the fellows
. had mistaken him for another party.

ip ms many duties, including tne
issuing of burial permits, that he had
no time to devote to looking after
his interests in the coming election
should he have the inclinatien. His
friends, however, are working in his
behalf, as he is candidate for muni

to his country's needs.
Wheeler's conscientious work on
the draft board when election time is
drawing near, led his friends to in

a campaign for votes. Hig response
was that his Muty to his country as

more importance than his candidacy

Graduate of University of

Maj. P. C. Van Nostrand is the
new executive officer at the Fort
Omaha Balloon school, and is, prac
tically in charge of all the work at
the prfSt' He is an Ibwan and was
graduated from the Iowa State uni
versity in 1912. He enlisted in the
28th infantry at Galveston, Tex., in
1913, and went to Vera Cruz, Mex
ico in 1914, 'where he served as in
telligence officer on General Fun
ston's staff. He returned to Gal
veston and was there at the time
of the flood.
In 1915 Maj. Van Nostrand went
to the border, where he was sta
tioned until 1917, when he was trans
ferred to Kelly field, San Antonio,
Tex., where he was made adjutant.
When he arrived there, there were
only seven buildings and half a
dozen airplanes. When he. left the
last of May the place had grown
until half of all the flying done in
the United States last year was
done on Kelly field. Th three
buildings had grown to almost 400,
and the half dozen airplanes had
been increased to hundreds. Offi
cers say that much of the progress
of Kelly field is due to the pep and
push of the major.
Maj. Van Nostrand came to Oma

PHONOGRAPHS
SUGGESTED FOR
POLITICAL USE
Moorhead and Morehead Get
Heads Together; Bohemian
Voters Overlooked on
Democratic Ticket; v
Harley G. Moorhead and John H.
Morehead got their heads togethet
Tuerday in secret confab. , Moor
head owes his appointment as elec
tion commissioner to Mehead and
while the office is supposed to be
nonpolitical, the ex-governor is not
hesitating to call on the election
commissioner to reciprocate favors
for the interest of his friend and
senatorial aspirant.
Frank A. Shotwell, brother of
Abel V. Shotwell, republican candi
date for county attorney, believes
he has hit upon a novel idea which
candidates may adopt in lieu of
meetings. He proposes that candi
dates distribute phonograph jecords
containing four-minute talks, and
have the records passed along" after
the manner of circulating libraries.
"A man might make a great rec
ord for himself in that way," F. A.
S. remarked.
Bohemian voters are taking cog
nizance of the fact that they have
been recognized by the republicans
and ignored by the democrats, as
may be- observed by scanning the
list of nominees to be submitted on
November 5. The republican ticket
includes Louis Berka for state rep
resentative, Charles II. Kilbat for
police judge, and Charles F. Kunct
for county commissioner. When the
democrats were given an eleventh
hour opportunity to make amends
by naming A. A. Tenopir for police
judge in the phce of R. J. Madden,
resigned to enter military service,
Ray J. Abbott was named.

PAINS AND ACHES YIELD
QUICKLY TO SLOAN'S LINIMENT
Are you tormented by Neuralgia,
Lumbago, Sciatica or any of those
aches that require a counter-irritant?
Then let the soothing, warm
ing application of Sloan's Liniment
stop the pain by drawing the blood
away from the congested part.
It is the pressure on the nerves by
the blood rushing to the inflamed
muscle or joint that makes you ache.
So when SloVn's Liniment relieves
the swollen blood vessels by setting
up a counter-irritant on the sur
face, the circulation is equalized,
sympathetic nerves alNsoothed, and
soreness or lameness disappears.
Sloan's Liniment is probably the
counter-irritant most widely used
to overcome painful inflammation in
cases of neuralgia, sore muscles,
wrenched joints, 'strains, bruises,
gout. Rubbipg is not required. This
clear, clean liquid is easily applied
as it does not stain the skin.
Generous size bottles at your
druggists.
Eub this soothing, penetrating
liniment right into the sore, in
flamed nerves, and like magic neu
ralgia disappears. "St. Jacobs Lini
ment" conquers pain. It is a harm
less "neuralgia relief" which doesn't
burn or discolor the skin.
Don't suffer! It's so needless. Get
a small trial bottle from any drug
store and gently rub the "aching
nerves" and in just a moment you
will be absolutely free frpm pain
and suffering. V
No difference whether your pain
or neuralgia is in the face, head or
tiny part of the body, you get instant
relief with this old-time, honest pain
destroyer it can not injure. Adv.
It) DARKEN HAIR "
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur bring back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulnes.
Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added,
will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant. Just a few applications will
prove a revelation' if your hair is
fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get a bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients. ,
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeih's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound; no one can tell, because it
does-it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sp6nge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and, after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant.

-d denression. The temperature
is from 100 to 104, and the fever
Lwsually lasts from three to five
days, the germs attack the muc
ous membrane, or lining of the air
passages nose, throat and bron
chial 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. h
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative, eat plenty of nour
ishing 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 Trover's Powder
may be given by the physician's di
rections to allay the aching. Al
ways, 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 bronchi
tis, 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 alter the
fever has left you, or if you are over
50 or not strong, stay in bed four
days or more, according to the se
verity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
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 Ehoul
der 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
aroiwia the neck as the heat of the
! '
body liberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, In
haled with each breath, carry the
medication directly to the parts af
fected. At the same time, VapoRub
is absorbed througlf and stimulates
the skin, attracting4he blood to the -surface,
and thus aids in relieving v
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 whp 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 princi
pally by human contact, chiefly
through coughing, sneezing or spit
ting. So avoid persons having colds
which means avoiding crowds
common drinking cups, roller tow
els, etc. Keen 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 pas-
sages 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 and inhale the vapors, or bet- ,
ter still,' use VanoRub in a benzoin:
steam kettle. If this is not avail-
able, 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 inhale the steam
arising. y -
NOTE Vick's VapoRub is th
discovery 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 th form of vapors. Va
poRub canbe had in three sizes at V
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, there
fore, be used freely and often wit.
