A considerable improvement in the general heaith condition in Putnam seemed evident Wednesday, though there were some new cases of fll- ness. William Rafferty, who has been se- riously ill at his home here, has now improved to such an extent that his recovery in the not distant future is assyred. There was a session of the city court Wednesday morning, the first held this week. it is said that leave of abgence is not being allowed at Camp ens because it is feared they may con- | tract influenza if they visit at their With the temperature down to 35 Fred Bar- ber, and two of his workmen. The heat was so intense that the task was | sbandoned, and Mr. Rook was se- verely burned in the face and hands, and the other men were scorched, The motor trueck was not insured, the poi- having expired thin .a week, It s Mr. Rook’s intention to pluce the insurance with Charles A. Morgan, in a company he represented, but the delay was caused, he said, by the death of Mrs. Morgan and her burial in Chicago. Mr. Barber had no insur- ance on the contents of the building, but theré is insurance in the struc- ture. The alarm was sent in by Waiter C. Hiscox from Box 52, at Main and Union streets, and almost instantly thereafter the Old Biacksmith Shop was a mass of flames, the pile of lam- | ber next the burning building was aflame, the big garage and other buildings were smoking from the heat. The firemen soon had several straam: of high pressure in play and grad- {ualiy the well applied water conquered the blaze and eventually extinguished every spark of fire. The front of the big garage is cov- eved with corrugated iron, which saved it from destruction as the build- ing is within twenty feet of the old {shop and directly opposite. The heat was so intense, that every pane of class in the front of the garage was eracked or broken, and the paint was scorched on a touring car that stood well inside the garage before the door ceuld be closed. With the exception of a few holes in the roofs, and the scorched edges, there was no damage to the other buildings. The burned Jroperty was owned by J. Fred Ear- ber. The total loss, n including the Rook metor truck, will probably not exceed $2000. Two boats, a motor launch and a rowboat, hauled out and in winter quarters near the burned building, and owned by Mr. Barber, were burned be- yond repair. ‘At the iime of the fire there was no perceptible wind and this condition had mueh to do with the avoidance of what promistd to be Westerly's biggest fire. Westerly's civic centre is disfiguned by a row of three billboards on the library lawn and in front of the post office, all apparently for win the war work, while the largest would be am- ple for the purpese. This large board was erected about a year ago, in con- nection with a patriotic rally, whefl four artists from Providence as a spe- cial attraction, painted a scene in an HMalian village thereon. Time and J|weather have long since effaced the colors in the picture, and the board hus served well in that particular, and ought to be utilized for more active amnd up-to-date war service. Another board, just next, is used to announce the progress of pairiotic money rais- ing campaigns, which could just as well he annonnced on a section of the hig board. “These boards are artistic in design, hewever, and do not mar the beauty of the civic cemtre, mater- v, but that big board is adequate for all war purposes. ‘Tuesday, the third board, plain and unsightly, was erected on the sidewalk lawn in front of the pyst office, under authority granted by the treasury de- partment, and in irrezular line with the other two boards. This board is, 19 be used in connection with the gen- eral war chest campaign, but the Lib- erty loan hoard could have served the purpose. Rev. Francis Cyril Higgins has been appointed curate at the Ohurch of the Blessed ‘Sacrament, Bridgeport, and reported to the pastor there Tuesday ‘might. He is the son of Mrs Mary A. dhggins, of West Broad streef, and wils or@ained last Sunday in St Jo- seph’s cathedral by Rev. John J. Nilan, bisbop of the Catholic diocese of Hartford. Father Higgins said his first private mass in the Convent cha- pel of St. Michael's parish, Pawcatuck, Monday, and his many home friends hoped he would sing his first mass in St. Michael's church, next Sunday, it being the custom to permit new priests to celebrate their first mass on the meem® {in_loins and ”‘:j"‘%" inom filve{, rheumatism, seiatica especially bad at night, often times a and fre- 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 . ‘Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc., may be administered by the pbysiclan’s directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza — the must run its course, but nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strensth. § danger lies in the complicatiops which may 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 important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns—stay in bed at disease The chief least two days or more af has left yoy, or if you not strong. stay in bed fotir 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 thé grip germs, to aid in loosening the phiegm and keeping the air- passages open, thus making the breathing 3 Vick’s VapoRub will be ef- fective. Hot wet towels m{g be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shouider blades to -open 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 flanncl cloths. Leave the - clothing loose around the neek as the heat of the body liberlites the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, in- haled'with each breath, carry the medication directly fo the parts af- fected. At the same time, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through cough- ing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid having colds —which means avoiding crowds—common drinking cups roller towels, etc. Keep upyour bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open. air, and good-food. 1 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS. Above all, keep free from colds, 25 colds jmitate the liring of the air passages and render*ihem much hetter breeding places for tbe germs. Use Vick's VapoRub' at the very first sign of a cold. Fot a head cold melt a }little in 2 spoon and inkale the va- pors, or better still, use YepoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If thls is not avsilable, use an_ordinary tea kLettle. 1t balf full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoonfnl of VipoRub from time to time—keep the kettle just owly boiling, and iubale the steam 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 essential ofls as Eucalyptus, . Thyme, Cubebs, ete.. 80 that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these in- ingredients are liberated in-the form of Vapors. VapoRub is comparatively mew in New York, New England and a few western states, where it is just now being introduced. in other ~ sections of the country, howev it, is the standard home remedy in over a mil- lion homes for all forms of ‘cold troubles—more than six miilion 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 effects. Vapo- Rub can be had in three sizes—30c, 60c, $1.20, at all druggists. —eee e Sunday after ordination in their home church, At present, however, by reason of so many entering the military service, and others ill with the prevalent dis- euse, there is a scarcity of priests throughout the diocese, therefore it was necessary for the bishop to as- gn the young priests to churches where their service is immediately ne- cessary. In the military contingent, from the Eieventh district, which left New Lon. don for Fortress Monroe, on Tuesday morning, under the selective service law, were Leo Cella, Frank Collins and Robert Stewart of Pawcatuck. The latter was formerly a member of the Fifth company, Coast Artillery, Rhode Island National Guard, and dis- charged as peing physically unfit when the command was mustered into the federal service. Westerly dahlia growers, who de- pend in the main for profit in the bus- icess from the saje of bulbs, have had a tremendous sale the present season of blooms, which are ordinarily per- mitted to remain undisturbed until Jsilled by the frost. The unusually large number of deaths has heen the cause of a great many dahlias being uged in funeral work, due to ihe scar- city of the class of flowers usually used for funeral purposes. Westerly dahlias shave been furnished in im- mense numbe:s tp forists in Provi- dence, Norwich and New London, 2lso to local florists. Thomas J.

The public schools of Westerly. af- ter am enforced vacation by reason of the epidemic of Spanish influenza, resumed sessions Wednesday, but with 2 decreased attendanee on the first day, fue perhaps to a lack of infor- metion that the schools were to re- H cpen. ' Following ihe example of the schools, the reading room and juve- nile department of the Memorial and rary association closed for the same period and like cause, were alsp re- opened Tuesday. Aside from the school pupils, there was a light pat- ronage of the reading room during the first day_of openins. ) Billy Sunday, who is condueting an evangelistic campaign in_Providence, is coming to Westerly Friday noon and will speak in Bliven Opera heuse.
