The Initial novelty of occupation having woru off, tho natives are paying virtually no attention to the Americans and appear almost to Ignore the presence of tho American Army. They are minding their own business In a quiet, orderly manner, but the Gorman horizon of the American area is bounded by politics. One notes in creasing political activity everywhere aa the elections for a constituent as sembly draw near. The American military authorities are permitting the natives the utmost political freedom and the Germans are taking tho fullest advantage of the American moderation. Large numbers of political meetings of all parties are being held throughout the area, the sole restriction being the presence of German-speaking American officers to see that nothing is said or done against the Interests of America or the allies. The Germans here are unfolding a tremendous home propaganda. Their activity is particaulrly directed toward the German women, whoso votes are expected. There is a strong fusion movement of the bourgeois elements of parties throughout the area in an at tempt to present a solid bourgeois front against Socialism on election day. Not only the political campaign, but the elections as well, will be under American military auspices here Americans will supervise at the polls as a police measure. Provision already has been made for elected members of the constituent assembly to obtain per mission from American authorities to leave the area, w title candidates and political speakers'from the outside can come Into the area for the campaign with the permission of American authorities. the employers if they see them in the streets or In surrounding houses and imprisoning them until they give what is asked. The employers have already made up a fund of 10. 000. Out) marks for the laborers, but this does not satisfy them, and the workmen ar now de manding 2.0 marks each. Tha reports say the men frequently spend the day parading tha streets with red flags and listening to agitators do- liver speeches. Agitators Parade Streets. The agitators are said to be spread ing the report that if the allies come they will act much as did the Germans re credited with having stolen so thoroughly that a Jew is quoted as saying: 'When the Russians were here I wanted to hang myself, but after the Germans came not even a rope was left." The waiters and Janitors of Warsaw, who are among the few having steady work and good pay, have gone on strike and the house servants are expected to follow their example. The domestics even now are only consenting to work If the mistress does her share of the labors of the household, especially the dishwashing and similar services. The waiters demand 15 per cent of the profits of the hotels and restau rants, while the cooks are asking 25 per cent. The janitors demand a 10-hour day, with the front doors closed at 9 o'clock In the evening. As the tenants have no keys to the front doors of the apartment-houses, they are obliged to stay indoors through fear of being compelled io pass tne nignt in tne streets, ine janitors, however, express willingness to concede permission for the tenants to o out after 9 o'clock and come in late If they puy a fine of one mark for each time they thus trouble the janitor. .Most of the evening engagements of apartment dwellers are being given up owing to this situation, and the streets are virtually deserted at night. years, died yesterday evening at her home in this city.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which Is very Injurious, as It'driea the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use ia just plain mulslfled cocoanut oil. for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You -can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for month. Simply moisten the hair with water nnd rub it in. about a teaspoonful Is all that Is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor oughly and rinses out easily. The hair, dries quickly and evenly, and Is soft. fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and aiy to handie. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv. LONDON, Jan. 7.

The reduction ranges from to 10 cents on the hundred pounds to (Copyright by the New York Published by arrangement.) LONDON, Jan. 1. (Special Cable.) The Daily Graphic takes exception to the recent attituda of Secretary Dan iels in urging that the United States create for itself the greatest navy in the world. In an editorial characteriz ing such utterances as "threats," the Graphic says: "The speeches of Secretary Daniels appear to have been framed almost as if it were his deliberate purpose to give offense to Great Britain. A few. davs ago he was insisting, that the United States must have a navy equal to that of any other country. He goes further now and declares, if the Ver sailles conference does not agree upon limitations of naval armaments, the United States must bend its energies toward the creation of the greatest navy in the world. "In plain language, that is meant ror this country, and between friends threats are out of place. It would be well if President Wilson were to cablo Mr. Daniels to put a little restraint upon his language. "In this country we have every de sire to reduce our naval expenditure to the lowest limit consistent with our neculiar needs as an island empue That is. indeed, our set purpose, but Mr. Daniels will not make that purpose easier of accomplishment by holding a Distol at our heads. In an editorial discussing the pros pects of peace, the Daily News says: It is useless to shut our eyes to the fact that all is not well. It has been notorious for weeks past that schemes of annexation based on secret treaties were being secretly pressed forward, and that' obscure designs jo Russia were taking vague and menac ing shape. Now we are confronted with Premier Clemenceau's declaration in favor of the restoration of the system of the balance of power. If this policy is insisted upon it means one thing and one thing only. It means that France repudiates tne idea of a League of Nations and that the world is not to be organized for peace, but reorganized for war. "If that policy is pursued the peace conference is doomed to failure. Amer ica will have no choice but to leave Europe to its own ways and its own fate. She will, of course, suffer the penalty which all will suffer. Since she has failed to induce the world to disarm she "will have to arm herself, and so the world will be started again on a race of competitive armaments leading certainly war." and unalterably to CORPORATIONS OUSTED Supreme Court Bars Protective As sociation From Washington.

Snanish Influenza, which appeared In Spain in May, has all the appearance of srriD or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippo crates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C, which Is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century lias naa its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this country has had five epidemics, the last In 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic In fluenza or grip has a very low per 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 principally patients in a run down, condition 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 purgative, eat plenty or nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Nature herself is the only cure" for influenza and will throw off the attack if only you conserve your strength. A little Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be given by the physician's directions to allay the ach ing. Always call a physician, since the chief danger of grip is i In its weakening effect on the system, which ilows complications to develop. These are chiefly pneumonia and bronchitis. sometimes inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these rea- ons. It is very Important - that the pa tient remain in, bed until bis I strength returns stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 60 or not strong, stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE. Evidence seems to prove that tills Is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through cough ing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid persons having coins wmcn means avoiding crowds common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air and pood food. KEEP FREE FHOM COLDS. Above all. avoid colds, as colds Irri tate the lining of the air passages ami render thein much better breeding, places for the germs. Use Vick's Vapo- Rub at tlie very first sisn of n com. For a head cold, melt a little VapolSib in a spoon and inhalo tho vapors, or better still, use Vapoliub in a benzoin steam kettle.
