YV. H. Davis this after noon. In any event no one in Albany is courting "Spanish Influenza in U'lH any more than they were court l ititr Ue same disease under the name rity Health Officer Myers has is sued an order preventing the two dances which were advertised for Fri day and Saturday at the armory, and it is possible that County Health Of ficer Ir. Davis i.id Dr. Myers mav later take more drastic measures. There are several cases of grip in Albany but as far as could be ascer tained none of the patients are in a serious condition. It could hardly be called an epidemic, for there were doubtless an etjuat number of cases during the same months last winter. Both Dr. Davis ar.d Dr. Myers have j been instructed by the state board of health to close all places o amuse ment and prevent public gatherings of every kind in the event that the situation appears to warrant meas ures of this i.ind. There are said to be 440 cases of in- 1 fluenza in Corvallis. The authorities , have closed the public schools in that .-ity and all public gatherings have been discontinued. The order includes ictu show theater5, churches. Sun. (.ul)s pooIrooms. Jancehalls. public schools and publi icetings of all kinds. The following signed statement wa i issu today by Mayor Curl and Citv Health Officer Myers Statement At a meeting last evening under th auspices of the Red Cross it was agreed that n word of caution might not cme amiss to the citizens of Al bany and vicinity to guard against th now piwailisu contagious 'disease, Spanish Influenza. It is requested that homes be kept well ventilated and hygienic and san itary conditions receive close atten tion; also m u-h mingling in public gatherings should be avoided. The prol le-n of prevention is extremely difficult to solve. The onlv preventive measure that we can adopt Is the resisting power, to the greatest possible extent. People should pav close attention to proper clothing and avoid exposure in all ways possible. L. M. CURL, Mayor. JOSEPH MYERS, City Health Officer.

WHITE TURNS DOWN SEATTLE OFFER Im-al Pastor Invited to De liver Address in Coorjer Union, New York An increase of $100 per month in salary naturally looked trood to Ir. W. P. White of the United Presbyte rian church but it did not look good enough to induce him to accept the $3,000 per year offer which'came last week from Lir. Matthews of Seattle. Dr. White yesterday sent a teleirram to Dr. Matthews in which he declinrd the offer. Speaking of the matter this morn in. Dr. White said: "My work ia unfinished in Albanv and I therefore do not feel that I could properly accept the Seattle offer just at this time. There are some things in this world of greater value than salary and in this case I have sub ordinated material gain to what I consider to be my duty to Albany. Dr. White yesterday received an in vitation to make an address in Cooper Union. New York, on November -JB. He will be unable to make the trio and therefore declined the invitation. COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL NOT CLOSE Secretary Will Be Employed and Organization Kept Going during War The Commercial club will not be : "scrapped." This was decided at a called meeting of the club held last night. The meeting was called to order bv . President Eastburn and after taking an inventory of the financial affair ' of the organization it was found that enough funds were on hand to pay off all indebtedness and leave in the treas : ury after such payments are made th? sum of $22.23. ! Upon motion of I. A. McDowell a j committee of three appointed. with instructions to call upon Mrs. Tom Hopkins and offer her the posi j tion of secretary of the club and in th I event that she does not accept, to se cure the services of someone who will. It seemed to be the concensus of thes ; present that the club should be con ducted with as little expense as pos sible during the war but that the or ganization should be maintained. Portland Dental society, commission ed by its organization to investigate Spanish Influenza, its symptoms and treatment, has issued a statement con cerning the malady. The committee report their findings as follows: The Spanish influenza is an epidemic disease, very much like the trip, only more severe, and pro ducing quicker prostration. It is also more dangerous because of thee great er liability to complications with oth er diseases. How shall we best guard ourselves against it? First Keep the general health ud to tb,e highest possible standard. Second Keep the mouth, nose and throat as clean as possible, to prevent the growth of disease germs. Third Do not scatter the germs bv careless sneezing, coughting'and spot ting. General healthAnything which maintains good health makes us that much more resistant to disease. Our first duty, therefore, is to the general health of body and mind. Watch the diet. Make it careful and moderate. Take plenty of exercise. Be outdoors all you can. Get all the fresh air you enn, especially in the homes and of fices. See that tly bowels move free ly and rgularly. Keep th body clean hy frequent bathing. Do not live In fear of the disease, but use every pre. ventive measure known, against it. Mouth, nose and throat The mouth, and the nose and throat, which are concerned directly with it, is the har bor and breeding place of germs of rll the diseases of the respiratory tract, such as colds, grip, bronchitis, Spanisi influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis and tuberculosis. The cleaner we keep the mouth, nose and throat, the fewer germs of these diseases will we carry (Continued on Pag Poor) E All Enemy Tositions in Three Mile Front near St. Que.itin are Taken RESISTANCE STIFFENS NEAR ST.

GIRLS' DOUGHNUT SHOP BOMBARDED By Miss Irene Mclntyre, Salvation Army Canteen Girl at the Front WITH THE AMERICANS, Oct. 9. A few nights ago we had another taste of war. We had been lulled into a false sense of security by an un usually quiet week, very little artil lery, no barrages, and very little air fighting. In fact, the pans in our kitchen had not been rattled for days, and we were ready to forget that we were at the front, except for soldiers and the ne cessity for keeping out of observation of German lookout posts on the hills opposite us.
