IG Disturbers Cheer the Bolshevists and Show Contempt For Anthem Boston, Dec. 9. A free for all fight occurred last night in Faneuil Hall when policemen in answer to a riot call expelled about 100 disturbers from a meeting at which members of the Italian labor mission to America were the guests. The riot call was sent in when the disturbers cheered for the Bolshe viki, refused to stand when the Star Spangled Banner" was sung, and threatened an Italian band until it played the Italian "hymn of the laborer." The meeting was called to enable the Italian mission to extend the greetings of King Victor Emmanuel to Italian workmen here.

Poincare Raises Petain to Rank of War Marshal Dee. 9.

SPANISH INFLUENZA MORE DEADLY THAN WAR Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives Than American Loss in Battle. Danger Not Over. Great Care Necessary to Prevent Further Outbreak. The appalling ravages of Spanish i Influenza in tins country are pernaps best realized by the statement recently made, that more deaths have resulted in little more than a month from this disease than through our whole eighteen months participation in the battles of the Kuropean War.

Our greatest danger now, declare authorities, is the great American tendency to forget easily and to believe the peril is over. Competent authorities claim the coming of cold weather is very apt to bring a return of this disease and there should he no let up throughout the winter months of the following easily observed precautions, remembering that Influenza is far easier to prevent than cure. Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Influenza germs spread when ignorant or careless persons sneeze or cough without using a handkerchief.

Cover up each cough or sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, sidewalk, in street cars or public places. Avoid the use of common drinking cups and roller towels in public places. Breathe some reliable germicidal and antiseptic air to destroy the germs that do find lodgement in your nose and throat. Remember, no safer precaution against Influenza could be employed in this manner than to get from the nearest drug store a complete llyomei Outfit consisting of a bottle ui the Pure oil of llyomei and a little vest pocket hard rubber inhaling device, into which a few drops of the oil are poured, You should carry this Inhaler about with you during the day and each half hour or so put it in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure, healing germ killing air into the passages of your nose, throat and lungs.

By destroying germs before ihey actually begin work in your blood, you may make yourself practically immune to infection. All these suggestions about Spanish Influenza are equally true in the prevention of. colds, catarrh of nose and throat, bronchitis and even pneumonia. Don't become careless. Do your part.

Keep the germs away. You may save yourself a serious illness and the loss of several weeks work. On sale by II. C. Kennedy.

He says: "We are planning a real victory Christmas for the sick arid wounded ssdiers in this hospital to include also the men who with most unselfish devotion have cared for their comrades through the trying days of the epidemic of influenza. "Many of these are from your own locality, and we feel that you will wish to share in ths happy privilege of sending a cheery Christmas greeting to them. "The idea is that every patient and detached medical man shall receive a 'Victory Christmas Box' consisting of the following simple gifts: "One large for two small) packages of cigarets. "One package of chewing gum.

"One box safety matches. "One cake plain chocolate. "One stamped Christmas card. "One small cake toilet soap. "One fourth pound pure Christmas candy.
