HOTCHKISS WRITES THE 3IORNING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1918. irmL 4 isiT W - 1 Hut Forty Original Members of Old Company Are 'With Organi zation at Present. Former Company K, of the old Third Oregon, now part of the 162nd Infan try, represented the United States Army In the Lord Mayor's inaugural parade in London, November 9, and also served as escort to the Duke of Connaught, member of the English royal family, according to a letter re ceived by Mayor Baker from Captain Clarence P. Hotchkiss. The letter was written, honoring Fathers' day. "As I no longer have a father to write to, and as I am commanding: a company which had its origin in Port land, it seems altogether fitting that I should write to Portland's official city dad," write Captain Hotchkiss. "Of Company K which left Portland, August, 1917, only 40 original members Ftill belong to the organization but we still are in spirit the same old Com pany E. We have had several honors. Once the Duke of Connaught, uncle of Kinp Cteorge, visited the camp, and Company K furnished the escort, usu ally furnished by a crack English regi ment. But what was to us our most Interesting experience was our part In the inaugural parade of the Lord Mayor of London on November 9, when we represented the American Army, being the only American troops In the parade. . Inauguration Is elaborate "The inauguration of the Lord Mayor was the most splendid in history. Com ing during the consideration of the armistice by the German plenipotenti aries within the French lines under the white flag of surrender, it savored of a triumph or a victory of allied arms. At the banquet which followed the parade and at which I, as commander of American representation in the parade, was present, David Lleyd George, Prime Minister of Great Britain, made the first official announcement of the abdication of the Kaiser and the flight of the Crown Prince. "In the evening the usual Lord Mayor's Tiar.quet was given in the Art room of Guild HalL "I arrived a few minutes late and found the room filled with prominent men and women of the United King dom, and such an array of uniforms and resralia as I had never seen before, and until that time did not think could ex ist. My plain uniform as a Captain in the United States Army appeared like- that of a district messenger boy in comparison, but I realized a few minutes later that plain dress was more conspicuous than the contrary, for as the notables were being announced a very plain man in plain evening dress appeared amid this grand array of gold and lace. He turned out to be the Amer ican Charge d' Affaires representing our Ambassador.

"The courses being served, the speak ing commenced. As a finale, Lloyd George spoke for 45 -minutes. There must have been at least 2000 persons at the banquet, and as he arose, the room became absolutely silent and ev eryone listened with rapt attention while he spoke of the British Empire, of the war, and, as a climax, gave out to the world for the first- time that the Kaiser and the Crown Prince had abdicated." Company E was complimented by Its commanding-officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Curie Williams, on the splendid show it made In the inaugural parade.

Reassessments Where Assessor Is Believed to Have Made Inequi table Report Advocated. SALEM, Or.. Dec. 22. (Special.) Charles V. Galloway, State Tax Com missioner, is advocating for Oregon the adoption of a system such as is in ef fect In some other states, eiving" au thority to the State Tax Commissioner to make re-assessments in counties where it la believed the Assessor has not made an equitable report. In addi tion to offering a remedy for any dis crepancies that might occur, such a plan, it is argued, would serve as an incentive for Assessors to put forth more painstaking efforts in making assesments.

Spanish Influenza, which appeared In Spain in May, has all the appearance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over-the world in numerous epidemics an far back as history runs. Hippoc rates refers to an epidemic in 412 U. C. whioh is regarded by many to have been influenza. Kvery century hat had its attacks. Beginning with 1S31, this country has had five epidemics, the lat in 18S9-90. THE SYMPTOMS. Grip, or Influenza, as It is now called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, f everishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling 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 passages "nose, throat and bronchial tubes there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsililis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT. Go to bed at the first symptoms, not ronly 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 worrx. Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc., may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza the disease must run its course, but nature herself wiU. throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the. complications which m:.y 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 affections. For the,se 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 left you. or If you are over 50 or not strong, stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attuck. 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'a VapoKub will be found effective. Hot. wet towels ehould be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub ehould be rubbed In over the parts until the ekin Is red. spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These. vapors. Inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time. VapoKub 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 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 FIIOM COLDS. Above all. keep free from colds, as colds Irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Lee Vick'a Vapollub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or beter still, use VapoRub in a ben zoin steam kettle. If this is not avail able, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Kill half full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoKub from time to time keep the kettle just elowly boil ing, and inhale the steam arising. NOTEj Vlck'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 oils as Eucalyptus. Thyme. Cubebs. etc, so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these in gredients are liberated in the form of vapors. VapoRub Is comparatively new In New York. New England and .a few western states, where it is just now being introduced. In other sections of the country, however, it is the stand ard home remedy In over a million homes lor all forms of cold troubles more than six million jars were sold last year. It is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, eince it is externally applied and. therefore, can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects. Vapo Rub can be used in three sizes 30c, 60c. $1.20 at all druggists. Adv. i
