Tho business section of the city will soon take on a holiday appearance with 17 blocks decorated with Christina trees, holly, decorated lamp posts and tho front of stores festooned in all sorts of holiday green. At a meeting last .evening of tho Business Men's league of the Com mercial club, representative business men agreed to go down in their pock ets and each contribute $5 towards giv ing Salem a really distinct holiday ap pearance. It was figured that about 200 would be necessary with which to purchase fir trees and have then planted in ce ment blocks along the shorts of the business district on Commercial street from Terry to Chenieketa, on Court from imneiciiil to Iliuh street, on Liberty between Stato and court ttni Ion State between Commercial and High j In addition to the fir trees that will adotfn the business section, business men agreed to do their utmost to dec orato their storo3 both outs-'de and in 'gida with holly and fir blanches. 1 A committee appointed by chairman 0. 8.

Indoor Golf Playing To Be New Sport In Salem Golf players who are anxious to keep in swing, vet not quite so anxious to play in the "soft" .Irish weather so common about this time of year, will now have a fine chance to Sfting their clubs safe from overhanging clouds and tho moisture of the Willamette valley. At the annual moating of the Coun try club last evening, held at the Com mercial club, it was decided to estab lish in door golf playing. This is done by securing a room in the business dis trict, putting in a sloping floor and with a canvas at one end, smash away at the balls, with the assiirauee that the balls will return to the plyor, thus eliminating the expense of an iu-door caddie. To create interest in golf a turkey tournament will be held next Sunday. The turkeys will be live and according to some low scores made last. Sunday, the player that wins one of the nation al birds will also have to be up mid a-eoiuing. Officers elected f..r the Country club last evening are as follow: Homer H. Smith, pn-ident. Curtis 11. Cross, vice president. W. 11. Tinrghardt. secretary. T. A. Livesley, director The links are said to be in fine shape and everything points to a most pros perous golf year. It was also voted to hold the regular New Year's dance. Caoffal Journal Vhzi Ads Will Get You Wki You Want Little Interest Manifest Today la Money Market New York.

It was suggested that if the home bakeries would, advertiso a little and let people know just what they arc do ing since tho flour restrictions bad been removed, that an outside, bakery would have p lot. of trouble breaking) into the city. It was also opiued that if the homo bakeries would talk to their customers through tho newspapers and tell of a lot of things they are doing, the good housewifo of Salem would not want to buy Portland bread. As It is, the housekeeper isn't quite Buro wheth er tho Salem or Portland bread is the best. On motion of Henry W. Meyers, tho Business Men's League unanimously voted that the city ahould support only Sulom mado bread. As to what tho women would do if they had some freo coupons for the Portland bread ,that was too deep a problem for discussion Theodore Both said he didn't intend to put in Portland bread and H. S. Poi sal told of his trouble once beforo when free bread coupons were distributed by an outsido firm trying to got on tho insido of the bread business in Salem.. Dan Fry thought if the Portland folks wanted to establish a bakery here it would be nil right to patronize them but he was opposed to anything iu the way of working up business by means of "peddlers and wagons. He thought "Eat Salem Bread" would be a fine slogan. ' Anyhow as the matter now stands the Business Men's League is on rec ord against any Portland firm coining in. But with the housekeepers not cs- some doubt of tho outcome, especially , pociallv informed as to what tho Salem if freo bread coupons wcro distributed' bakery interests nre doing, there was by the Portland bakorq. 1 HI TO IV!

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. Spanish Influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear ance of grip or la grippe, whicu las swept over the world in numerous epi demics as far back as history runs, Hippocrates refers to an epidcmiie in 412 B. C. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century jhns had its attacks. Beginning with is.il, tnis country has had live epidem ics, the last in 1SS9-90. THE SYMPTOMS Grip, or influenza, as it is now call ed, usually begins with a chill follow- i by aeliiug, fevenshness'and some times nausea and dizziness oud a gen- eral feeling of weakness and depres sion. The temperature is from lUO to lot, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack hc mucous membrane, or l:mng of the air psr-ago nose, thWiat and bronchial ! tubes theie is usually a 'earj cough, ! especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or toiu'ilitia, and frequently I all the appearances of a severe cold..

Ilot, wet towels should bo appLed over thoj throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Theuj Vapo-Iiub should bo rubbed in over the parts until tho skin i9 led, spread ) on thickly and covered with two thick-; nesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the j clothing loose mound the neck as tho v heat of - the body liborates tho ingre- f " dients in the form of vapors. Theao j vapors, inhaled with each breath, car- j ry the medication directly to tho parrs ! affected. At the same time, VapcRub i is absorbed through and stimulates tho skin, attracting tho blood to the sur 'face and thus aids in relieving tho con- r !gcstion within. t HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidcnco seems to prove that this in -a germ disease, spread principally by 'iiiTiiiuiL euni-atu, ciut'riy xurouyn cuugu- ing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid per- 'sons having colds which means avoid-1 ing crowus common drinking cups, j roller towels, etc. Keep up your bod;ly j strength by plenty of exercise in tho j open air, and good food. i KEEP FEEE FEOM COLDS j Abovo all, keep free from colds, ns colds irritate the lining of the, air pas-J sages ami render fliem much bMterJ breeding places for the genus.
