Clanging of church and fire bells, with the shriek of whistles from the industrial plifnts, proclaimed to the people of Mechanicsburg that the town had again responded to the country's call and had gone "oer the top" in the Fourth Liberty Loan, on Saturday evening about 8 o'clock.

Although the town was shut tight, and there was no place in which people could congregate to discuss the good news, yet in all directions were little knots of men and women eagerly talking of the splendid re suit. Mechanicsburg's quota was 500, and although it is certain the town went well beyond these figures, yet the exact sum cannot be given at this time.

With the grim white and gray tombstones and monuments as back ground, more than 1,200 Russian Jews, in silence and awe, watched Rabbi Lipschutz perform the wed ding ceremony. when, amid their stark surroundings the couple were pronounced man and wife, the orthodox among the spectators filed solemnly past the couple and made them presents of money in sums ranging from ten cents to a hundred dollars, according to the means and circumstances of the donor, until more than $1,000 had been given.

It promptly opens clogged up nostrils and air passages in the head, stops nasty discharge or nose running, relieves sick headache, dull SPANISH What It Is and How This disease, authorities now agree, is simply the old fashioned grip that was epidemic in 1889 90. Then it came from Russia by way of France and was given the French, name of La Grippe.

This time it comes by way of Spain. Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain In May, has swept over the world in numcrbus epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 15. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks.

Beginning with 1831, this country lias had five epidemics, the last in 1889 90. THE SYMPTOMS Grip, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. 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 bronchial tubes there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night; oftentimes a sore throat or tonstlitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symp toms take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry.

Nature herself is the only for influenza and will throw off the attack if only you conserve yotir strength. A little quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powders may be given by the physician's directions to allay the aching. Always call a doctor, since the chief danger of grip is in its weakening effect on the system, which allows complications to develop. These are chiefly pneumonia and brpn chitis, sometimes inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns stay 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 more, according the severity of the attack.

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over, the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel Leave the clothing loose around the neck, as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected.
