The swimmers were in | the water nine hours and had to pene. trate four barriers across the har- bor entrance, two of which were com- nosed of steel submarine nets. After |they had attached their bomb to the |side of the dreadnaught, they were captured and taken on board the ves- sel and were there when the warship was blown up. | They escaped without injury ana have returned to Rome to tell of theit jexploit which is characterized as one }of the most daring and successfur in the history of naval warfare. Only ; the fact that the Viribus Unitis had been destroyed by Italian naval forces previously had been made known but now the details have been given out | by the Italian Admiralty. The officers who thus sent to the bottom a 20,000-ton ship, one of the most powerful in the Austrian navy, were Lieutenant Raffaele Paolucci and Major Raffaele Rossetti. The attack was delivered on the morning of November 1, 1918. To tow the bombs into Pola har- bor, the two Italians invented small compressed air motors, to which were attached bombs. For six months the |two naval men practiced in long dis- fance swimming. The Italian Ad- miralty gave them the use of a mo- tor boat. Reaching the harbor entrance ar | nightfall, the two daring men started on their expedition swimming beside their little motors and steering them. To escape detection by sentries on a wooden pier across the harbor mouth, Paolucci and Rossetti had hats shap- ed like bottles, and the sentry saw nothing but a couple of bottles being tossed about by the waves, when the back of the sentry was turned they advanced and safely passed 'the first barrier. After infinite labor they fought their way through the steel nets and the Austrian fleet lay before them. Unitis, they attached the bomb to her jher deck and timed the bomb to ex plode at 6:30 a. m. By this time they were exhausted having been in the water more than nine hours As they were leaving, they were discovered and taken or. board the dreadnaught. At first they refused to answer the questions asked them by Admiral Voucovich. At 6:15 they had done and he gave the or- der to abandon ship. Paolucci asked the admiral if he and his friend might also try to save themselves and he shook hands saying, “You are brave men and deserve to live.” They thus plunged into the water and swam away but ten minutes later the ad- miral begun to suspect the bomb story and sent a launch to bring them back. They were made to walk uy, the ladder under which they had set the bomb which was due to explode in two minutes. The ladder was crowded with sailors returning to the ship.

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.

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 alr passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. 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 just slowly boiling and inhale’ the steam arising. NOTE—Vick’s VapoRub is the dis- covery of a North Carolina who found hew 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 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 p ly recommend. cn lor gee Wee ior colds, as. externally applied an there- fore, be used freely and tan
