THURSDAY, DEC. 26, 1918 ITALIANS PRESS LETTERS FR RECOGNITION OF ANNEXATIONS IN PLEA TO WILSON Deputies in Austro Parliaments Pre- sent Case in Mem- orial to Wilson [By Associated Prens} PARIS, Dec. 26,—Italian deputies of the redeemed provinces, who rep. resented their districts in the Vienna and Budapest parliaments and came to Paris expressly for the purpose of submitting their case to the Ameri- can mission, have been received by Colonel House. Thru the House of Deputies they presented a memorial to Presiden Wilson, reciting that their country has been for two thousand years Ital- ian, that Trieste has suffered nndev Austrian oppression for five venturi and that Dalmatia since 1707 has stood persecutions to defend it; nationality. Regarding the annexation of Tren- tino, Trieste and Istria, the memo- rial says that there is no question that can be raised, but adds that Flume being a free city, similar to Bremen and Lubeck, has the right to decide its own government and any contrary decision will be against the principles proclaimed by Presi- dent Wilson.

Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C., which is regarded by many to have been influenza, Every century has had its attacks. Begin- ning with 1831, this country has had tive epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for pani influenza or grip has a very low pe centage 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 prin- cipally patients in a run down con- dition—those who don’t go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early, 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 perfectly quiet and don’t worry. Nature her- self is the only “cure” for influenza and will throw off the attack if only you conserve your strength. A lit- tle Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Pow- der may be given by the physician's directions to allay the aching. Al- ways call a physician, since the chief danger of grip is in its weakening effect on the system, which allows complications to develop. These are chiefly pneumonia and_ bronchitis, sometimes inflammation of the middle ar, 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 | - jrender them | left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong, stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the at- tack. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this 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. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri- tate the lining of the air passages and much better breeding places for the gern Use Vick’s Vapo-Rub 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, use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea- kettle. Fill halffull of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle boiling and inhale the ng. NOTE—Vick’s VapoRub is the dis- covery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor_ with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors, VapoRub can be had in three sizes at 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 recommend- or children’s croup or colds, as externally applied and can, there- just slo. steam a: Yore out the slightest harmful effect. —Adv.

Well, I intended ¢o tell you of this country, but I can’t do it for two reasons. First, the censor won’t let me, and second, I don’t know much yself. All I know is that in bex cars (when we can’t hike (and the cars are one-third as large as our cars and they put forty men to a car and they are crowded in worse than suffragetts at a ballot box, and you can neither sit or lie down, so all one can do is ad- mire the French girls or cuss the Kaiser. (I usually did both.) The engins are about the size of Henry Ford’s famous product, except Lizzie has it on them for speed.

The houses here are stone and generally all built of the family, |horses, cows and chickens all lies together. The villages are close tv- gether here, also, and the streets are very erooked and so narrow you < ua shake t:and= with the girls on the opposite side of the street. Sanitary nethods are almost unknown and I’ve heard that a Frenchman would rather face a machine gun than a bath tub. There is lots of wihe here and its very reasonable in localities where there arn’t many Yanks. I’ve bought Champagne for seven francs a bot- tle. (A franc is approximately en- teen and one-half cents.) Our doc ‘ors say this water in France is very unhealthy, so I’ve discontinued whe use of it altogether. Can yeu im- ie a “Buck Private” standing up ing Champagne like water? Yes, Mr, Howland, I know you peo- ple have done wonderfully back there in every way possible and I want you to know that the boys over here up- preciate it, too. The Americar pe ple as a whole went in this to wv und they have accomplished it too, and I am proud to say that I helped do it, too. This life is pretty h t times, especially, but the war on and I think everyone who par- dri | ticipated in it is justly proud of the fact. Now I didn’t play any importart rt for the game was in the first half of the ninth inning when we went to bat, but we were in time to see the home run made, anyway. Hin- denburg made a wild throw on Noy. 4th, and let Foch steal third and we knew then that it was only a few or maybe hours, until the end. rshal Foch had a strangle hold on him in this sector and all he had to do was squeeze a little. Well, this is afternoon and I had r, Colo. Oh Boy! I'm not certain, but from the ter- rible din and all the whistles and rocket signals that are going up all me, I’m inclined to think the is over. Something big is coming off behind, us, but we, up here in the “lines” haven’t any dope as yet—and we are still going for- ward, in fact, I am all packed, have my limber train in readiness and my doughboys ready for, Orders Orders, and I’m ordered “in” to- night, but I’m going, God only knows, with a light heart and Oh! so happy, for I'm of the opinion that it is my last move. I’ve gone this far thru this scrap with no accidents that I hope I am fortunate for the rest of the time. I cannot begin to describe to you, dear folks, how we have been raising H. With “Fritz,” all along our front, therefore I’m sending you some clippings for you to read—they will give you all of the dope. I can’t tonight, because I am so work- ed up by all that is taking place arourid me, By the way, better get that bath ready, and that Bridal Chamber, and a mess of good old hot cakes, and, oh, mother, just everything. I hon- estly believe I’m the happiest mortal on earth tonight, Poor old Kid Lew, he has done his bit nobly back there getting supplies to us—but he hasn’t seen or been in any of the “scraps’’ or met a Hun in his native haunts— or drove him out of his hole with grenades, smoke and flames, and I know that he is disappointed for he told me that since he had been in | France, the liveliest thing that he had seen was a crap game. appointed for him, too, for I would liked to have had him in one scrap —but with me where I could guide him over and around the machine gun nests, as that is an “art’’ believe me, and with Lew’s limited military training, it would be disastrous to go in. May it be all for the best that he didn’t get in as it is such a satisfaction to me tonight to know that my brother is safe and alive back there. I was the one whose duty it was to my family to take the chances I did. I always went “in” and “forward,” I have done as much as I could to make good for you dear folks at home. Now for some real live and inter- esting news that will interest you both, but mostly daddy Jack, as he is the one that wants some real hon- est souvenirs fresh from the battle- field. I have them for him, but the one that I added to my collection to- day, beats all of them. I have the rifle out of which several shots were fired at me this morning in my ad- vance. I headed my platoon and was only armed with that blessed Colts 45, that has shuffled so many off to hell—consequently being armed with a short range weapon, I had to get close to be effective. God, I did, I kept my men coming and at the same time had them heaving grenades id smoke bombs which hid us from sight for a time and as we marched up behind the smoke cloud, I was on top of that Son-of-a-B before he knew it, Bang! and Mr. Colts did the rest. I grabbed the rifle, and that’s what I have—a gun-that has been shot and at me, besides, I clip- ped several buttons off of this wreath- ing skunk, for he wasn’t quite dead ‘yet, and, lo and beholf, he was one better get busy and clean up here. | With my very best regards to Mrs_} Howland.
