BOARD OF HEALTH
REGULATIONS.
Restrictions Modified In Some Re
spects- Other Modifications Left .
to Commissioners.
The Board of Health met this
morning, Nov. 7th, and transacted
the following business :
In view of the fact that the influ
enza situs'ion throughout the county
has much improved, and in view of
the further fact that the authoritiea
in each town can continue in effect
such regulations as they think proper
affecting such town; be it resolved,
That regulations concerning ice
cream and soft drinks be so modi
fied as that on and after Monday,
November 11, 1918, such drinks
may be sold, but when served other
than in bottles, sanitary cups shall
be used.

Influenza.
In Alamance influenza has sub
sided very much, so much BO that all
the mills have resumed operations,
but the force is a little short in
some.
There are reported no serious
in Graham today, but for the I
past few days a few new cases have
been reported every day. The situa
tion is greatly iinpruved. Quite a
number have been dismissed from
the Emergency Hospital.
The situation is generally better
in the State, though in eome sections
the disease is quite prevalent.

Lieut.-Colonel Don. 1 Scott Write
of the Nights and Days of Fire
tod Death.
Below is part of a letter lately
written by Lieut .-Colonel Don. E.
Scott of Graham of the 120 th infan
try, 30th division, to Mrs. Scott in
Winston-Salem. The day before he
into the battle described, Lieut.-
Colonel, then Maj. Scott, had re
ceived hia commission to higher
rank, bat begged that it be held
back that he might lead his men in
the fight. This was done. The
30th division has received much
praise from General Baig for bravery
and efficiency in action.
"Have tried to get to a service
station and cablfr you that I wai
sate, but so far have been unable
to do so. The past few days have
been hard ones—continuous fight-
ing every day; pushing the Boche
with all our force and mi*ht. Fierce
work and hot, but wonderful, right
i.n cm his heels all the time. It is
no use trying to describe the grim
anger his dirty fighting leaves on
the boys or the destruction he
works in his path. /
"One night in particular I shall
never forget. In front of us as we
pushed forward the sky blazed a
vivid red from burning vHlages set
on fire by the retreating Huns.
While over against this scene- ol
ruin and death a little peaceful
moon looked down on our victori
ous troops.
"In the light of the }ay we found
the destruction unbelieveaole—
nothing but ruins. Left in one cap
tured village were 4,000 French, old
men, women and children; pitiable
sights; eyes glassy, cheeks hQllow,
no food and young women ruined.
There is nothing too fiendishly bad
for the Boche to do. But is is pay
day and we are settling with him
now. It will sound harsh to you,
but I tell you, I look upon their
dead in the field as I would a
dog. When I see tha prisoners I
wish them with their dead ' Ka.ner
ads". They are fighting a losing
game and they know it. We ore
all sure their day is short.
"Yesterday we were taken fnm
line and are now about six miles
back. Here we will stay until we
build up our command to a fight
ing basis. We are short now. But
what fighters our boys are! the
finest in the world. Their carriage
and spirit is I the one beautiful
thing about this war. I am now
in the cellar of an French chat
teau. You should see soma of the
places we lived during tha • past
week—dugouts, shell holes out in
open, all dirty as the Boche hau
left them. Thera can ba nothing
in sanitation or I am germ proof.
"J don't know how ion? we will
rest. We are all fagged out; but
we are in this war to win, and we
are, willing to do everything to .jet
It over—soon.

Conservation Don'ts.
DONT burn up all the leaves
now falling on your lawn or aroun'J
your house. Put them in the
COMPOST HEAP. There is no
time to waste fertilizers. There Is
as much plant food i.o- a ton of
leaves as in a ton of good stable
manure.
DON'T depend on coat where
firewood can be bought. War re
quirements demand every ton of
coal that is mined. Therefore burn
wood. One cord of oak fftid hick
ory wood will furnish as much h?at
as a ton of coal.
DONT use your (jest timber for
firewood because it is near and is
easy to split. Use up lips, down
logs and defective and inferior
trees. In this way you improve
your woodland, reduce the ilrj dan
ger, utilize waste material and save
the good trees for other uses.
DONT burn the dead grass off
your field before plowing. Your
soils need the nitrogen and humus.
The air contains enough nitrogen
without that which is TioerateJ by
burning grass and leaves.
|~ DONT give even your best friend
permission to exterminate the part
ridges on your farm. They are
worth ten times as much to you as
insect destroyers and weed seed
consumers as they are to aonyone
else as an inducement to take
needed exercise,, or even for food.
DONT let light fire* run through
your wood*. Pine, poplar, locust,
chestnut and other valuable ■cei
ling* are killed by even a (mall
fire, and larger tree* are *erlou*ly
injured.
A PATRIOTIC DUTY
Almost as vital as that of protecting the honor

tendency toward weakness and protecting strength.

Washington.—Franklin D. Roosevelt,
aaalatant secretary of the navy, In a
statement since bis return from a tour
of American naval bases and stations
In Europe, described the work of the
United States navy In the waters sur
rounding England, France, Italy,
Greece and the Asorea.
"Our operations on the British coast
ara fairly well known, but It probably
Is not generally reallaed that on the
continent we have a large personnel
on shore and have more stations la
France than we have In all England,"
Secretary Roosevelt said.
"On the west coast of France wa
have a'series of bases for the repair
and upkeep of our escorting ships, de
stroyers, submarine chaeera, etc. We
have been nslng French fadlltlea so
far as possible, bnt In moat cases we
hsve had to erect complete plants so
tbat these facilities are now more than
double what thoy were before we went
there
"All the way from the Spanish bor
der to the English channel we have
established aviation stations so spaced
that the entire coast line Is covered by
seaplanes and dirigibles. Nearly all
these stations are situated at out-of
the-way points, some on uninhabited
islands, others In fishing vessels on
peninsulas. Labor was almost Impos
sible to obtain, so these stations were
built almost entirely by our own sail
ors. At each station there are from
200 to 800 men. This aviation force
and our patrol vessels have been doing
such splendid work that for the past
six months there have been piratical
ly no sinkings within SO-miles ut the
French coast.
"At one point we have an Immense
assembly and repair base which em
ploys more than 5,000 men. An In
stance of the way In which every bit
of material has been utilise® Is found
In connection with this base where,
before the erection of the permanent
quarter*, the men took packing cases
In which planes were shipped, and used
them In building barracks which were
very comfortable.
"In northern Trnnce, In co-operation
with the British, the United State* es
tablished what 1* known as the North
ern Bombing Group. This waa origi
nally organised to bomb the German
submarine bases on the Belgian coast
After the British had blockadod the
eutrance to those harbors, German*
were prevented from clearing the chan
nel by the constant activity of these
•viator* who dally and nightly dropped
ton* of explosive* on the submarine
bases.
"We have a considerable naval force
at Gibraltar. In conjunction with the
British thla force not only patrol* the
Atlantic in that vicinity, but alio 1* ac
tive in the Mediterranean escorting
vessels to and from Italy, Greece and
Egypt In the Adriatic we have es
tablished a large group of submarine
chasers and other vessels at work.
In conjunction wltk the Portuguese we
have established a base in the Axores."
There appeared to be a misappre
hension In this country ** well a* In
France, Assistant Secretary Roose
velt sold, as to the part taken by the
American navy In transporting troop*
and supplies to French ports. Every
transport that flies the United State*
flag Is officered, manned and in by
the American navy, be said. Much Uvs
larger portion of supplies for the army
In France Is taken across In American
vessels officered "and manned by the
United States navy.
Nine enlisted men of the navy who
volunteered to be Inoculated with the
serum of Spanish Influenza to help
medical officers gather apeclflc facts re
garding the disease and discover the
means of combating It, have been com
mended by Secretary Daulels. The
experiment was conducted during the
prevalence of the epidemic In the first
naval district, Boston, and the volun
teers understood the danger to which
they exposed themselves for the benefit
of others.
The test Indicated that the disease
Is not due to a filtrated virus, ss the
results were negative. Nene of the
men Inoculated contracted the dis
ease. They were Isolated for ten days
sfter their Inoculation.
As a measure against the further
spread of Influensa, war workers In
Washington. D. C., are taken to their
duty every morning by automobile In
stead of In crowded street cars. The
division of transportation oC the gov
ernmental emergency commission work
ed out the plsn which. It Is estimated,
provides for the accommodation of 26,-
000 of these workers every day In pri
vately owned automobiles that volon
teer to "five a lift" to the men an 4
women—especially the latter. The
danger of traveling |p crowded street
cars Is thus removed for them.

More than 4,000,000 gallons of sirup

In addition to these supplies the sub

100,000,000 cans of salmon—enough for
the army's requirements for a year.
About 80 per cent of this lot will go

mated that 10 ounces of salmon are
equivalent to 20 ounces of beef. Con

Consumption of coal was reduced
by a million and a quarter tons during
the seven months' operation of the
"daylight saving" law, according to fig
ures compiled by the United States
fuel administration. When the clocks
were set ahead an hour, beginning Sun
day, March 81, and ending October 27,
the fuel administration planned to gath
er facta from many sources In vsrlous
sections of the country to determloe
the saving In fuel likely to result from
the operation of the law. These data
have been compiled and form the basis
of the estimate of the amount of coal
saved.
In one district from which definite
facts were obtained It was shown that
the saving of coal was 17V4 tons pfr
1,000 of population for the period of
seven months. These figures were
checked sgalnst records obtained from
otber places In different sections hav
ing the same relative conditions, and
from the Information thus collated the
estimate of 1,280,000 tons saved Is
reached. The fuel administration says
that the "daylight saving" plan In Eu
ropean countries has been effectual
chiefly In the seven longer months.
A national system for the collection
and disposal of materials which It la
most desired to reclaim at this time,
such as paper, cotton and woolen rags,

leather, lead, tin foil, etc., has been
organized and a working plan for ev

The apread of Influenza and the COB
