THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1918. PAGE THREE SPANISH INFLUENZA JUST GRIP CAMOUFLAGED UNDER NEW HAM Most Authorities Now Agree That This Disease Is Simply The Old-Fashioned Grip, The Same That Has Swept Over The World Times Without Number. Since 1831 - The United States Has Had Fiv e Epidemics. Tha Last Epidemic In 1839-90 Came i spread on thickly and covered with From Russia by Way of France and 'two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Wag Given a French Name, LaGrippe. This Time It Comes by Way of Spain. ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE Spanish influenT-a, which appeared in Spain in May, has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far hack as history runs. Hippocrates re fers to an epidemic in 412 B. C. which is regarded by many to have been in fluenza. Every century has had its at taches. Beginning with 1831, this coun trr has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. THE SYMPTOMS Grip, or influenza as it s now called usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverishness and somotimes nausea and dizziness, and a general fooling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and tho fever usually lasts from three to five days. Tho gorms attack the mucous mcmbrano, or lining of the air passages) noso, throat and bronchial tubes there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a .sore throat or tonsilitis. and frequent ly all the appearances of a severe head eold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms take a purgative, and plenty of nour ishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Nature herself is the on ly "cure" for influenza and will throw ff tho attack if only ym conserve your strength. A little Quinine, Aspirin er Dover's Powder may be given by the physician's directions to allay the aching. Always call a doctoi, since the chief dangor of grip is in its weaken ing of feet on the system, which allows complications to develop. Those are hiofly pneumonia and bronchitis, some times inflammation of the middlo ear, er heart affections. For these reasons, it is very important, that the patient remain in bod until his strength re turnsstay 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 moro, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL AP'ICAHONS Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberate the ingredient, in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath. carry the medication directly to tM parts affected. At the same time, Va- poRub is absorbed through and stimu lates the skin, attracting the blood te the surface, and thus aids, in relieving the congestion within. NO OCCASION FOR PANIO There is no occasion for penle in- fluonza or grip has a very low percent age of fatalities not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ae cordinw 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 got 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, bo avoia per son, havinff colds which means avoid crowds common drinking cups, rouer towels, etc Keep your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS Above all. avoid colds, as colds irri tate tho lining of the air passages and render . them much better breeding places for the gorms. Use Viek's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub in j benzoin steam kettle. If tins is not availablo, use an ordyinary tea kettle. Fill half full of ooiling water, put in half a teaspoon o? VapoRub from time to time keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. MOTE Vick's VapoRub is the dis covery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combino, in salve form, Menthol end Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, thyme. Cubebs, etc., so that when tho salve is annlied to the body heat, these ingre dients are liberated in the form of va- CITY HAS LEGAL RlGaTiOVER-PjlOPUCTION NOT 10 M) CMTffi TO RE-ASSESS PROPERTY This Decision Is Given By Judge Mky In Case Against Silverton. A city has a legal right to amend its charter to re-assess, property . providing that in ease an assessment for the con struction of good roads is found to be invalid by anT higher authority. The decision is by Judge Percy Kelly in the case entitled J. M. Brown' and others against the City of Silverton. .'Judgo Kolly has entered an' order that le caso of Mr. Brown against Silverton be dismissed. , It was on April 27, 1914, that the City of Silverton passed an ordinance providing for a hard surface concrete pavement on McClaine street. Later it was claimed that tho city, in passing such an ordinance, ignored remonstran ces ana 'hat the improvements had boon forced on tho plaintiffs.' In the suit of Lais against the City of Silverton, the supreme court of Or gon handed down an opinion adverse to the. city. Then tho city passed an amondmont to the city charter provid ing for the reassessment of property. Council Passed Resolution. August 6, ' 1918, Silverton council passed a resolution declaring the dis trict especially benefitted by the street improvement. Sept. 4, 1917, te iut , orty adjoining tho paving was assessed causing a lien on the property. In the case on trial against tho city, the plaintiffs asked for a temporary in junction against the city to prevent the selling of property for assessments and cancelling tho assessments and remov ing tho cloud against tho title of land on McClaine street. As the council had submitted tho amendment to the city charter provid ing that should a higher legal authori ty dcclaro invalid tho first assessment that tho council could rc-assess, and tlint the people had voted in favor of the amendment 345 to 144 against, the decree was entered .that the rt-aw-- ment was valid and the case dismissed. CtAlltAiinu . j. v ....... i - , - . In order to stimulate tho lining of Ipors. VapoRub can be had in three , si the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening tne pniegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making tho breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder Wades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in ver the parts until the skin is red, es at all druggists. While eomparatave lv new in certain parts of the north, it is the standard home remedy in the south and wost "for all forms of cold troubles over six million jnra were sold last year. VapoRub is particularly rocommended for children's croup or cfnlila. as it is externally applied and can, therefore, be used freely and often without the sligMCBt narnnui uiiccm. SOUTHWESTERN PART OF STATE WILL HAVE MUCH PAVINGINI919 Work To Be Done Under Su pervision Of J. C. McLeod, Division Engineer.

THRFATEKiliG DAIRIES SAYS COpSION Oregon Has Gone "Over Top" In Dairy reriomances As . Ia Other Tilings., J. D. Mickle, state dairy and food commissioner, declares in his biennial report that there is no cause for fear that the dairy business will bo over done in this state from now on. Hit report says: " Thero has been some apprehension in some quarters lest the dairy business 6 overdone. In this direction our of fice has taken some pains to make care ful investigations, end our eoncusion that thero ig absolutely no danger of over-production from this on." His report, as it relates to the dairy industry, is very optimistic. He points out that fatmcrg and dairymen aro now using tho Babcock cream tester as means or weeding ou the "slacker" cows, and the result is that bettor dairy herds are being built up in this state "Formerly it was thought necessary to go east, or to Europe for well brci stock to build up and fortify our herds, but this is no longer necessary," ho says. "Oregon breeders are just as alert and just as expert as any ,and their stork is on a par with the best. ' ' 'The long distance records, the high milk records, the buttcrfat records, tho register of- merit cows, and all other commendable forms of competitive dai ry records are just as common in Ore gon as in New York, or Wisconsin or Holland or Now Zealand, or anywhere else on earth. Oregon may be said to have 'gone ovor the top' in dairy por formance as Bhe has done in so many other things." Commissioner Mickle points out that his chemist and also his chief doputy roeoiva. salaries of only $1200 a year, which is entirely inadequate. These salaries' are fixed by law, and ho rec ommends that tho law be amended so tho commissioner may allow them a rca sonable salary.

On two former occasions 1 have appealed to the Amcrlean people in behalf of these homeless sufferers, whom the vicissitudes of war and massacre had brought to the extremest need. The response bus been most generous, but now the period of rehabilitation Is at hand. Vastly larger sums will he required to restore these once prosperous, but now Impoverished, refugees to their former homes than were required merely to sustain llfo In their desert exile. It Is estimated that about 4,000,000 Armenian, Syrian, Greek nnd other war sufferers In the Near Enst will require outside help to sustain them through the winter. . Many of them are now hundreds of miles from their homeland. The vast majority of them are helpless women and children, Including 400,000 orphans. The American Committee for Relief In the Nenr East Is nppciiling for a minimum of $30,000,000 to be subscribed January 12-10, litli), with which to meet tbo most urgent needs of these people. I, therefore, again call upon the people of the United States to make even more generous contributions thnn they have runda heretofore to sustain through the winter months those, who, through no fault Hf their own, have been left In a starving, shelter less condition, and to help re-estnbllsh these ancient and sorely oppressed people In their former homes on a self-supporting basis.

"The President ha spoken several timet to the entire world In favor of sneh wise and henefleent reconstruction as will make the world safe for all people. The present appeal Is marie In the faee of the greatest tragedy of the war. It Is beyond Kurope, In the Near Knat that human wretchedness at present centers." About the authenticity of the reports of Turkish persecution. Dr. Mutton, said: i "Cruelties more diabolical thnn any In history have been perpetrated by the Ottoman government, and have been reported by absolutely trustworthy eye-witnesses at tha Amerlean Hmhnasy In Constantinople. Tlw nnreallty of such perseentlon to an Amerlenn, aa well as the thonsamle of miles between ns and this greatest crime of civilization, has kept manv Amerlenns, so far, from feelfntf this demand upon their humanity and Justice, keenly." WILL YOU PICK OUT THOSE WHO SHALL PERISH? RcR-ardlnR- the present actual state of the peoples of the Near East. Dr. Pntton said : "Htnrvntlon has become so common In these landa that one if our workers sent the following report, 'Heroic men and women who have strained every energy to save lives, now have the unthinkable task of picking out those who shall perish.' Thi Is the human preaeure baek of the slogan, 'They shall not perish' twlng used .In the campaign for thirty millions of dollars." . It. Dutton was asked If he believed the American people were tired of giving, fie said : "America's tnoni'y is going out of her pockets faaier than ever lu her history, because it la America's part In this frlglrtful world cataclysm. It Is to these people we owe In part the debt of our untouched homea, our unvlolated famlllea, and our almost normally conducted Industrie. For these things are thirty millions of dollars an Bdiijuote return? When the American people come to reallie the situation In th Near Kaat as It actually la, I think sot." In concluding hi comment upon the President's argent appeal Dr. Dottos said : "Aa the President la trying to lead the nations to a Just peace to he desires that Ameiiea shall lead the world in this supreme effort to save and rehabilitate tha Christian peoples who, because they have clung tn their faith and our faith, hart) been compelled to paua tbrouii'j the surpassing trt.&U ot tha war." . . 1
