WASHINGTON. Oct, If. In an af

Phrskc tarns wno are being overworked
oeoaajse ci tns epraemio or inrjuense.
Surgeon OanereJ Phis of the United
8tmtes putrVto health servtce In a state
ment tonatrht urged the pubito to learn
socnethlrwr about 'tie horns care of pa
tients 111 with th malady.
With rerorte to.lry showing the epi
demio to be spreading In many part
of the country, arxl with ma aiouta
shortage of doctors and nurses every -where,
Hurgeon General Blue envpha
slicd that every unnecessary call eith
er on phyeiodaais or rvurae makes it
much harder to meet the urgent need
of the patients who are seriously lU.
rrcerau tieneraUon Bpollru.
The present generation, said the
suTvreon general, "ha been spoiled by
havlnej had expert medical and nur-
slnr care readily available. While T
cheerfully recognize all the good tfhevt
has been done by out splendidly train
ed graduate nurses, I believe het tha
publlo gonerally has come to rely too
muah on their eervtoea wnd has not
Intereeted Itaolf sumdsniUy tn study
ing the home cars of the sick."
"Every person who feels sick and
appears to be developing an attack
of Influenza should at once be put to
bed In a well ventilated room, General
Bhje said. If the patient has fever a
physician should be called, and this
should be done in any case If the p
tlervt appears very sick, coughs tip
ptnkioh sputum, or breathes rapidly
and painfully. The diet of the patient

and death of her husband .ttti t.
this i Moore, and especially for the beautiful
nowera wUaa wars sent to the funeral.
who arrived tn Chicago late this after
noon to deldver a liberty loan, speech, !
telegraphed the following appeal to
the governor of every state In the
union tonirht:
One weak of the fourth liberty
loan campalcTa remains and three
and a half billion dollars; have yet to
be raised. The American people can
provide thta money if ahoy are fully
aroused .to the Inoperative neoeaalty
of doing oo. Without the six billion
dollars required for the fourth Lib
erty loan, the groat victories of our
soldiers lnt Franco will be negatived.
The home army mfuct not turn the
vlotorlee of the field array into defeats.
Tha home army rwrt rrnr 'ntfirter val
ueless the bloody sacrifices of our
heroes. The home army must, on
the other hand, transform the vic
tories of the field anmy into the final
and mighty blow which will forever
destroy military despotism and Its
mienace to the liberties of the world.
"Wit! you not issue a iproclamation
to the people of your state appealing
to them to subscribe Immediately to
tha limit of their ability to the fourth
Liberty loan? Aak the rich and poor
alike to buy Liberty bond on the In
stallment plan where they cannot pay
cash for them and urge the banks and
bankers of your state to carry pur
chasers of bonds on the installment
plan at the same rate of interest as
the bonde bear, namely 4 per cent,
"The banks must help the people
by landing them money to buy Lib
erty bonds and the people must help
the bank by aubsoriblng for them
and Tey1n7 for them as promptly aa
possible. We must all help each oth-
df our mmy w to make certain
that the frreat vlotory now in sight
la ciincriea."
In a letter fo Representative zh-
nlon Weaver. James J. Rrltt inr niht
challenged the Tenth district oongreis-
inmn 10 joint aeoaie, tne campaign to
Begin on tne clone of the Libertv loan
campaign, October 19. Mr. Brltt pro
poeaa that the Issues for tha onnt.t .
limited to matters relating to tha war
and to the Tenth district election of
1JB.
Mr. Weaver la now in Ashovllle
recuperating from an attack of In
fluenza and will probably reply In a
few dnys to the Invitation for a Joint
speaking tour. The congressman's
friends stated last night that, in view
of the prevalence of Influenza and of
the fact that Mr. Weaver considers
winning the war the paramount Issue
before th people, he will decline to
meet his opponent on the stump.
.ir. uriin letter lollows:
"Because of the state of th publlo

speeches in my own behalf, a thing

that we have a Joint discussion dur

Your Executor
Every man who makes a will
and every man with any posses
sions should make one has a vi
tal interest in the question of ex
ecutorship. Custom has changed In the
matter. The life of the individual
executor is uncertain and his ex
perience limited. .
It is now the practice to ap
point a reliable Trust Company
as executor, because of the Trust
Company's greater responsibility,
wider experience and knowledge,
and its ability to live indefinitely.
These reasons cannot but have
weight with you.
We shall be glad to discuss the
matter with you at any time,
and for such an important thing
as this there's no time like the
present.

AN APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAT.
On last Thursday, Hon. W. J. Bryan
delivered an address at Waynesvllle
to a -large crowd of people who had
met in response to a public call for
jiDerty rmd meeting. This crowd
was cmviHjHed of both democrats and
republicans, who had assembled solely
for patriotic puTpoeee. but Mr. Crvan.
Immediately following hie preliminary
remarKB, on i am reliably lniforimed
stated that he had been sent there to
make a speech In the Interest of Hon.
Zebulon weaver for oonarrea. and
thereupon made a lengthy and elo
quent appeal in behalf otf Mr. Weaver.
This was, of course, a keen surprise
to all present, as everyone had come
there lor. the Liberty bond meetdnar,
and up to that time had thought tlhat
the odcaston was not to have any
partisan turn whatever. I respectfully
suamit that tnis was not lair to the
public, as It waa understood on all
sides that oil political speaktings
snoum De suspended owing this Llb
enty Dond campaign, and it la espec
ially unfair to Mr. Dritt, who not only
would not make a political speech
during this period, but directed me
even to call off a eerie of conferemoe
in the district already appointed for
him and Hon. John M. Morehe&d, can
didate for United State senator.
Mr. Brltt has mode more patriotic
addresses since 13e war began than
any other speaker ta the state, and
we challenge any iperson to sav that
he has ever uttered e word, either di
rectly or Indirectly, for partisan purposes
if Mr, Bryan desires to make ino-
IHlal speeches at this time, the has a
perfect rilu to do so, but he has no
I pie of all shades of political faith for
. mZtT th "" 'tne occasion ol a poiitiloai speech.
