This is the opinion of Pr. Karl F.
M-yer. of the Hooper Institute "f Med

ifornia, who t aiding Ir. Sommer in

Tesla Made With Masks.
Ir. Meyer took an Important part In
the influenza campaign waged In San
Krinnico, in addition to his experience
rpldruologiM. Careful tests with
masks have been made under his di
rection, which he cites to show that
the proper use of masks produces the
xesl safeguard against influenza.
Jn order to really find out if masks
were of value, we held a test, using
Ui employees of the Southern Pacific
Company in fcan Francisco !n connec
tion with the experiment. Five hun
dred of these employees were masked
under our direction, that Is compelled
to mask when entering paces of gath
rrir and removing; the mask when
lhev reached the street and open air.
"Five hundred were allowed to-.co
and come unmasked and the other five
hundred were permitted to mask as
they dcirrd. wearing the masks on the
streets or at any place they lelt it
necessary.
Fraarlar Ordiaaaee Failed.
"Tne prevalence of Influenza among
the unmasked was II per cent, among
lhi.-r who wore masks a they chose
J2 per - cent, and among those who
wore masks under our direction only
2 per cent. This test was absolute
j'fcKif by proper masking the preval
ence of the disease could be reduced
from 11 per cent to 3 per cent.
It. Meyer slated that an attempt to
compel masking In San Francisco by
ordinance failed, because the statute
required masking oil the streets and
the people wore the masks only when
the police officials wefe around, where
as as auickly as the people reached
their homes the masks were removed.
'Of what use are masks on the
streets? As little as we know about in
fluenza, we are sure that the germ Is
killed in the fresh air. and that fresh
fcir arid space furnish Immunity from
tlie disease. It Is whin one comes
' home, sitting around eating dinner, or
plalnc cards that precautions should
be taken."
Latreme care should be taken In the
construction of masks, according to ir.
Meyer. Masks, he states, should he
made with four layers of double cloth
r ! layers of ordinary gauze, with
ample room for air. Samples of the
irw.iks whtrb. he recommends have been
' .ven to tr. Sommer.

You have no idea of how really and
truly helpless we are. As an example,
take the advice given us by public
health men when we asked what
should be done if the epidemic struck
the west. They said 'organize your hoi

true. Hospital ipace was the thing tliat
we needed, and nurses. It was the lack

material is of general interest to. the

THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as it is now
called,, usually begins with a chill fol
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a
general feeling of weakness and de
pression. 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 bron

times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the grip
germs, to aid in loosening me pniegm
and keeping the air passages open,
hus making the breathing easier,
Vick's VapoRub will be found effective.
Hot, wet towels should be applied over

VapoRub should be rubbed in over t:ie
parts until the rkin is red, spread on
thickly and covered with tv- thick
nesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave tire
clothing loose arouiMi the neck as the
heat of the body liberates the in
gredients in the form of vapors. These
vapors, inhaled wittueach breath, carry
the medication directly to the parts
affected. At the same time, VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face, and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within. ,
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.
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 U the N. C. Board of Health.
The chief Sanger 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.
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 tow da common drinking
cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your
bodily strength try 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 air passages and
render them much better breeding
plaoes for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt
a litle VapoRub in a spoon and in
hale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If
this is not available, use an ordinary
tea-kettle. Fill half - full of boiling
water, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo
Rub from time to time keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and Inhale
the steam arising.
NOTE Vick's VapoRub is the dis

volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
