Influenza Causing Heavy Toll of
Life is Spread by Secretions
From Nose and Mouth?Ad?
vice on Its Prevention.
The serious shortage of physicians
and trained nurses in Virginia, and
the inability of many families to se?
cure medical nnd nursing care make
it imperative that the nature of In?
fluenza and the methods of prevention
as well as the home care of the sick
should be generally understood. The
State Board of Health, therefore, is
undertaking by every means possible ;
to furnish this important information.
Preventive Measures.
Avoid crowds, common drinking
cups and putting Into the mouth lin?
gers or other objects recently soiled
by the secretions of the mouth. In?
sist that everybody cover the mouth
and nose when coughing or sneezing.
Wear a gauze mask over the mouth
and nose when attending the sick, or I
on necessary visits to them. Keep '
houses and offices freely ventilated,
and keep your body resistance at its
best by regular meals and abundant
rest.
Symptoms of Influenza.
Sudden onset, usually in from 12 i
to 48 hours after exposure, charac?
terized by chill or chilly sensation,
rise of temperature, sligi-.t sore throat,
Stuffiness about the head, aching, am.
marked weakness.
Cure of Sick.
Average cases require little drug
treatment. Quiet in bed, a laxative,
liquid nourishment and an abundance
of water arc essentials. Cases show- j
ing shortness of breath, painful cough
and pinkish sputum should be seen |
by u physician.
Precautions For Patient.
Use strong drugs only when pre?
scribed by a conscientious physician.
Aspirin and other pain relieving drug* i
are valuable in the early surges, but j
only to relieve pain. If used promis?
cuously or too long they are harmful.
Deaths are likely to occur from the
unwise use of such drugs. Influenza
is characterized by marked poisoning
which weakens the heart muscle. It
is, therefore, of great importance that
the patient remain quietly in bed
long enough for the heart and other
vital organs lo have recovered from
the effect ol* this poison. This means
from two lo six days, according to the
severity of the attack. The impor?
tance of this precaution cannot be
over-emphasized.

REMAINS OF MRS. R. R. HENRY
The remains of Mrs. R. R. Henry,
who died at the home of her son,
Randolph Henry, in Roanokc on. last
Saturday, were brought here for bur?
ial Monday afternoon, and were laid
to rest in the Jcffersonvillc cemetery
beside that of her husband, who died
several years ago.
The remains were accompanied to
Tazewell by the sons, Robert, Ashby
and Randolph, and daughters, Mrs.
Samuel W. Williams, Mrs. Sam C.
Peery, jr., and Mr. Peery. Mrs. Dr.
Gillespie, the other daughter, was un?
able to be present on account of ill?
ness.
Mrs. Henry was ill only a short
time, and died from a heart clfection
from which she bad been a sufferer
for years.
Rev. W. W. Arrowood, the former
pastor of the family, was in charge
of the service at. the grave.
A Tribute to Mrs. Henry.
A noble and good woman was bur ?
ied in the cemetery at Tazewell yes?
terday.
Mrs. Henry was born, I believe, in
Culpepper County, Virginia,?when,
I do not exactly know, but know
enough to say that her birth was be?
fore the stirring times which trans?
pired in that historic county. It was
at Brandy Station, in Culpepper that
the greatest battle of modern times
between horsemen was fought, with
Pilzhugh Lee as commander of the
Confederate legion.
Mrs. Henry was an Ashby, a first
cousin of General Turner Ashby, thai
high-souled gallant Ashby, who sleeps
in glory's grave. Sometime in the
sixties she married Robert R. Henry,
and in the early seventies they came
to Wise County, Virginia, to seek a
living; both she and her husband be?
ing left in poverty by the result of
the war. There they began their
struggle, strangers in a strange land,
her husband being a young lawyer,
she being charged with the duties of
a young wife and mother. They then
came to Tazewell in the year 1870, j
where they continued to live until '
after the death of her husband.
Strangers they were, both she and
her husband, but they rapidly gained
the respect of their new neighbors,
holding it in the highest esteem to
the day of their death.
Mrs. Henry was a noble woman,
devoting herself to her husband and
children?the soul of hospitality;
brave and good.
Intensely religious, a Presbyterian
heart and soul,?and that soul needs
no dead, cold rocks to commemorate
her goodness and her memory. It is
by her heroic womanhood that she
will be remembered.

The papers announce the death of
Mrs. Sam Jack Musick, at her home

He is proprietor of the Piedmont
Business College, Lynehburg, and has

His wife was a true helpmeet, in?
deed, and this affliction is a sore trial
and disappointment. He has the
sympathy of a host of friends.

er Subscribes Fourth Loan by
Hundred .Thousand ? Fine
Work by Committeemcn.
The campaign for tho Fourth Lib?
erty Loan in Tazewell County re?
sulted in u large over-subscription,
belieted to be about $130,000. The
county's quota was $560,000.
As is usually the case the work of
putting the loan over was done in a
large measure by the patriotic bank?
ers of the county, who labored long
and faithfully to make it a success.
The committee from the Jefferson
(villo banking district, of which W.
K.I. Peery was chairman, did line
work, and made a systematic can
vass of every person in the district.
Mr. Peery feels very grateful lo the
committeemcn who so faithfully dis?
charged their duties. They were all
busy business men, but laid aside
their personal affairs and went lo
work for the Government.
A statement of the Jeffersonvillo
Hauing District shows that the dis?
trict oversubscrbed its quota by
8108,200.

Mr. Editor:
I want to congratulate you on the
excellent "Liberty Loan" edition of
your paper, which you issued on Oc?
tober 11th. 1 believe that you help?
ed many men "come across" more
liberally than they otherwise would
hnvc.'
The bankers?well, they deserve
far more gratitude from the people
than they get. They were all en?
thusiastic in the sale of bonds, and
were patriotic in helping men to ob?
tain money with which to buy. With?
out their splendid help the county
would not have gone "over the top."
The district chairmen, without a
single exception, worked hard, and
a small number of men supported
them loyally. Their persistent and
hard work put our county among the
honored counties of the State, and we
are all proud that we are citizens or
Tazewell.
I am embarassed for words with
which to express to those who, at my
earnest request, took part in the
sale of bonds. I cannot say "1 thank
you," for they did not work even for
the government, but for the brave
boys who are fighting to maintain
our liberties, and to give freedom to
the oppressed world. I can only con?
gratulate all who took -part in the
splendid campaign, that they have
an approving conscience for service
well rendered. C. R. ROWN,
County Chairman.
LARGE FIGURES.
The amount of money contributed
?loaned, during the last eighteen
months for war purposes, is not
known exactly. The four loans
amount to something in the neigh?
borhood of twenty billion dollars.
Here are the figures as near as can
be given:
First Loan.$3,035,220.850
Second. 4,617,539,300
Third. 4,176,516,850
Fourth, approximate, .. 7,000,000,000
Making a total of four loans sub?
scribed, $18,829,283,000.
This amount does not include the
amounts contributed to the Red
Cross, Y. M. C. A., Thrift Stamps
bought, or the loans made to the al?
lies, or private contributions made,
of which no account was kept. The
whole amount will bo nearer 30 than

DEATH OP MRS. I. H. HARRY.
The death of this good woman came
as a great shock to her friends, as
well as a great grief. Her death was
sudden. It is stated that she was .
busily engaged in her domestic du- ,
ties when the end came, without
warning. j
She was a quiet, deeply pious do- .
voted wife and mother. Her bereav- |
cd family and husband have the gym- i
pat by of u wide circle of friends. The ,
burial look place near her home at
Falls Mills Friday, in the presence
of a concourse of sorrowing friends
and broken hearted children.
She wrought well?she sleeps well.

WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.
Mr. Editor:
Please insert in your paper the fol?
lowing items in respect to the War
Work Campaign, which begins Nov.
18th.
1 have been appointed chairman of
district No. 1, composed of the coun?
ties of Tazcwell, Russell, Buchanan,
Dickcnson, Wise Scott und Lee, to
conduct the drive for the Y. M. C. A.
and six other associated societies do?
ing war work, for the one hundred
seventy million dollars to bo raised :
during the week of this drive.
Virginia's apportiment is one and
a half million dollars, and district No.
1, is allotted $77,51)0, of this appor?
tionment.
I have called a meeting of the chair
men .of this district to he held at Nor?
ton on the 25th inst., nt 3 p. m., to
outline the plan of campaigning.
In as much as the Y. W. C. A., is
designated as one of the seven as?
sociations to receive and disburse a
certain per cent of this $170,000,000, 1
our women are expected to take great?
er interest in this campaingn than in
any proceeding drive for war worn
being led by Mies Lucy Terrell, di-1
rector of the Woman's Division.
Our colored people will take a con- j
spicious part in the drive under the
leadership of J. H, McGrcw, state di?
rector of colored division.
President. Wilson has endorsed nnd
directed this plan of United War
Work. These seven orgnizntions thus
working in harmony towurd the one
great end of ministering to humanity
take the sharp corners oft* the relig?
ious prejudices of the homo forces
as has already been done for our boys
"over there!" The fellowship ol
sacrifice and suffering is the only fel?
lowship that is worth while.
What we give in this great cause
will benefit those who receive it, re?
gardless of the motive behind the
gift. The giver will bo blessed in
proportion to the sacrifice made by
him.
Yours not only for service, but for
Sacrifice.

SEVEN AGENCIES
JOIN IN DRIVE
Protestants, Catholics and .lews
Will Campaign Together To
Raise Millions For Work in
American Army Abroad.
The great drive to raise $170,000,
000 for relief work in the American
army will he begun on the lltb of
next month by the Y. M. C. A., Y. W.
, C. A., National Catholic War Council
of the Knights of Columbus, Jewish
Welfare League, War Camp Commu?
nity Service, American Library Asso?
ciation and the Salvation Army.
The drive will be a new thing un?
der the sun. For the first lime Pro
lestants, Catholics and Jews, forget?
ting all thoir differences will line up
shoulder to shoulder, welding their
individual organisations together in
their common devotion lo the bays in
the cantonments ami over there. This
amalgamation of the seven great
agencies engaged in war work is one
of the line dovolpmonts which have
been brought about by the war and
under the wise guidance of ['real
dent Wilson.
Togoiber these seven organiza?
tions represent a work Hint is stag?
gering in its proportions. They have
more than 15,000 uniformed workers,
standing shoulder to shoulder with
the boys ovcrj slep of the way from
home lo the front line trenches. They
operate more than .'1,11011 buildings
nnd ship 500 tons of supplies to the
boys ill Franco every week. Fifteen
miles of film set sail for the other
side each week under their direction
and the regular weekly attendance of
soldiers and sailors at their motion
picture shows is more than 2,600,000.
The llibles furnished to the boys
Mine the war broke out would, if I
piled one on another, make a pile
more than twenty miles high.
"Morale," said Napoleon, "is as
other factors In war as three to one."
Ity which be meant-1 hat one man who
is kept contented and happy is belter
than three men who are discouraged
und homesick. It is the business of
these seven great agencies to help
maintain morale. They are keeping
up the line fighting edge of our boys,
und by their ministration, helping to
put added power into our army ami
navy and so to hasten the hour ol
victory when they will bring our boys,
home again.
WHAT THE Y. W. C. A. DOES.
Never before in warfare have wo?
men played so active a part in rein?
forcing the lighting men and in re?
lieving men from other work that
they might light. Thus, the field of
the Young Women's Christian Asso?
ciation in war work has been a great
Dne. In America the association's most
striking welfare project has been the
establishment of hostess houses in
the camps where tho men may receive
visiting relatives. Army officers have
asserted that these houses do much
to elevate the plane of a training
camp and to dispel the homesickness
which causes desertions and lowers
morale.
In the war zone the Y. V/. C. A. pro?
vides social workers, recreation lead?
ers, physical directors and cafeteria
managers for the thousands of Amer?
ican women nurses, Signal Corps
girls, telephone operators, and other
English-speaking women employed
with the American forces. The as?
sociation also does welfare work for
the girls employed in many of the
Kreuch munition plants. The Y. W.
D. A. maintains centers and restau?
rants for these American women en?
gaged in work in support of the Gov?
ernment.
Dur Hello Girls Keign as Queens on

Ninety-nine are in France. Addi?
tional units are on the way. Those

though there nrc two or three large
