I frained from participating in the contrary by the statement which is made by Secretary McAdoo to the effect that whether there is peace or not the entire amount of this loan is going to be required and it is prob- able that there will be a fifth and a sixth loan. This doesn't indicate that there is any reason whatsoever for the belief that the money sought is not going to be needed, but on the other hand it makes it anparent that it is needed now and more is going to be required. Because the allied nations have ob- tained an advantage does not mean that the end is near at hand and it does not mean that the expenses of the government for war purposes are going to immediately stop. The fact is that there can be no letting up in the war activities. They must go for- ward with more determination than ever.

UP THE ADVANTAGE Every day is sending allied forces far ahead along Phe iRt part of the western front and putting ROLLING em into possession not only of ter- ory which has been held by the nemy since the early days of the war, but of some of the strong defense pointa which the German high com- mand had figured on holding against the assaults of the Dritish, French, Americans and Belgians. The abandonment of the western end of Belgium has been forecasted for some time by the strategic moves which have been made by General Foch. Each day has seen appreciable advances but by the capture of the fortress of Lille and the clearing of the region to the north of that point of the enemy means that the German retirement being pushed with marked rapidity. Just where the enemy is planning to stop, or whether it is daring to ar- range for a definite holding of any particular Uine, is a question which even he must be uncertain about. The present movement of the allies is such that the Huns cannot plan on stopping before the Scheldt is reached and the sending of the German vessels at Ant- werp to Holland vorts for internment, and the statement which has been made that it will not be many planned on an extensive scale. Genera! Foch intends to keep them going, inflicting what damage he can upon the war machine as it is being moved in its broken condition and no small help has been given to this re- treat by the success which has been the American drive up the Meuse. That has broken defenses which make it decidedly dangerous for the Germans to think of holding their maln forces to the west of that river. chbtained by UNFOUNDED CHARGES. After what appears 1o be a thorough sxamination the charges which were made against Wilson & Co., ment for the use of the army, have as entirely unfounded by the federal trade commission, which has not been inclined to deal lenjently. with such an industry. Inasmuch as it was the agents of brought the bo wnchlcd that the the utmost importance, | letting the allies get at these German this commission charges it can who there are those who have re- the fourth Liberty loan because they'have gotten the idea that peace is not far away and the money asked for it is not going to be needed, they ought to get much valuable enlightenment to days before Brussels is evacuated give the impression that the retreat is being that they were either Mm.; at without due Mmvestigation put forth with a driven back over ‘a wide'stretch of territory badly out of condition. No opportunity is being allowed to repair it and none will be, The forced re- treat is shortening the line which must be défended but that is operat- ing equally as favorably to the allies as to the enemy. Strong . defensive pointg are being lost in rapid succes- sion while the confusion that is being caused by the hurried pulling up of stakes and the conditiors not amyl back of the lines but at home are In creasing the discouragement. Added to this is the uncertainty among its allies. Orie has gone and the others are wobbling badly. Everything points to the fact that Germany has run its course! The military reasons for ac- cepting Wilson's terms are increasing at a rapid rate, too fast in fact for German comfort. COAL CONSERVATION. While it was to be expected that the fuel administrator would state as he has that he has made no iron clad ruling which would prevent the uce of fuel in case of sickness or a rea- sonable use of it in heating the homes to a proper degree that mecessary pro- tection against eolds and the epidemic migth be obtaines it cannot heip be- ing realized that every possible effort should be made to overcome waste. There have been handicaps of one ind or another which have continued to cut down the production of coal, but the mining of. anthracite coal is at the present time being seriously af- fected by the inflyenza, -as can be readily understood when jt is claimed that it is causing a decregse of 50,000 tons a day in the output. ‘This means a weekly drop of 300,000 tons, —or enough to furmish 30.000 families with their winter requirements, With the mines working at their full capacity it will require a long time to make up for the loss, and there is no telling when it will be possible to gzet them back to such a basis for coak miners dre no more im- mune from influenza than other peo- vle. ¢ It is therefore incumbent upon the people to exercise good judgment, to save coal wherever it is possibie and to overcome waste on every occasion. And what is true of hard coal pro- duetion iy likewise true of bitumtnous. | When sicknéss knocks out labor the situation is one which it is decidedly difficult to overcome.

Spanish Infiuer Spain in May which appeared in I the appearance , which has swept the world in numerous epidemics back as h v runs. Hippo- refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C. which is rega many to have been influenza. Every century hashad its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1855-90. THE SYMPTOMS nfiuenza as it is now called, with a chill followed ishness and sometimes or begins nausea ness, and a general ng of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lining of the air sages—nose, throat and bronchial here is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night; often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and fre- all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms, not y for your own sake but to aveid spreading the disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don’t worry. Quinine, in or Dover's Powder ete., administered by the physician’s directions to relieve But there is no cure or influenze — the disease it nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up yvour strength. The chief specific for | danger lies in the complicatlons which imay arise Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear or heart actions. For these reasons, it is very impertant fective. that the patient remain in bed umtil his strength returns—stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 30 or not strong, .stay in bed 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 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 ef- Het. wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to epen the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and cov- ered with two thicknesses ‘of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose ardwnd the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, in- haled with each breath, jcarry ~the medication directly to the ’parts af- fected. At the same time, VapoRub is absorbed through and 'stimulates the skin, attracting the blood ta the surface and thus aids in relieving the congestion within, HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE “Evidence seems to prove that this {8 a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through cough- ing .sneezing or spitting. persons having colds —which means avo'dinz crowds—common drinking cups Toller towels, ete. -Keep up your bodily sirength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food, Above all, keep free from colds, as colds ir- ritate the lining gt the air es and render them much better g places for tHe germs. Use Vick’s VapoRub at the first sign of a cold. or a head cold, melt a lite tle in a spoon and inhale the vapers, or better still. use VapoRub in a ben- zoin steam kettle. If this is not “available, use an ordinary tea-kettle, Fill half full of beiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle just slowly beiling, and inhale the steam arising.
