BOARD OF HEALTH WARNS AGAINST FLU Authorities Nervously Await Recurrence of Dreaded Epidemic Medical authorities seem to be of the opinion that this coun try will again be visited by the dreaded scourge of influenza, and have already taken steps to warn the public as to the precaution that should be ob served. The Board of Health of the State of Connecticut has had large placards printed and widely distributed containing the following advice, which will be found valuable in any locality, its purpose being to avoid, it possible, a recurrence of this dreaded epidemic. How to Avoid the Flu < < 1. Don't inhale any per- ? ;! son's breath. j : 2. Avoid persons who j cough and sneeze. 3. Don't visit close, poorly < :> ventilated places. ;4. Keep warm and dry. j ;! 5.

In addition to the above, the Health Commissioner of New York City, in an interview in the New York Times, predicts a return of influenza, warns ev eryone to guard their health carefully, and those who are weak, he advises to build up their strength to better be pre pared for the attack. The medical profession prac tically admit their helplessness, and health authorities are nerv ously facing the situation. They can only advise that precau tionary measures be adopted that will prepare the system tor the attack.

M. 5 to 8 P. M. WEDNESDAY EVENING, Tracy, Rev. R. A. Sawyer. E. J. Stackpole, A. 8. Patterson and Joseph Claater. The high esteem in which Mr. Heathcote is held by nil connected with the Metropolitan company was manifested in the enthusiasm which marked the dinner and the splendid tributes which were paid to the head of the Harrisburg district. He was presented during the evening with a handsome chime clock, the presenta tion speech being made by C. A. Wade, of Pottsville, a fine pipe, pre sented in behalf of the superintend ents by A. S. E. Kinsey, of Alle gheny, a beautiful basket of flowers was presented to Mrs. Heathcote with the compliments of the group of superintendents by H. D. Sollen berger, of Pottstown. A Tale of Progress President Fiske made an address which will not soon be forgotten by alt who had the privilege of hear ing it. It was an insurance epic; it was more than that, it was the vision of a great man who was able to discern in the working out of the constructive policies of one of the greatest insurance companies the obligations of stewardship and the brotherhood of man. He told in a narrative that was eloquent and thrilling the story of the develop ment of the Metropolitan company with concrete illustrations of its wonderful welfare work for millions of people. The address was a revela tion to most of the guests, and per haps, to most of those who are of the Metropolitan forces. He de scribed how the company not only provides for death, but for the health and usefulness of those who are as sembled in the great army of policy holders of this unique institution. They are advising that the system not be permitted to get into a run-down condition, but that it be kept in a healthy, vig orous state so that it will be prepared to better withstand the danger of influenza. The blood is the most vital force of life; therefore, it follows that upon the condition of the blood depends largely the condition of the entire svstem Every organ, nerve, muscle, tissue and sinew of the body is dependent upon the blood sup ply for nourishment, and as it circulates through the system pure and rich and free from all impurities, it furnishes these different members the healthful properties needed to preserve them and enable them to per form their various duties. So long as the blood remains free from infection, we are li able to escape disease, but any impurity in this life-giving stream acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health. Disordered blood comes from various causes, such as a sluggist condition of the circu lation, imperfect bowel and kid ney action, indigestion, etc., hut whatever the cause the blood must he purified before the sys tem is in sucl\ a robust condi tion that it is able to ward off disease. S. S. S., the fine old purely vegetable blood remedy, is "a valuable agent in building up i the system, and giving it that robust and vigorous vitality that is so essential as an aid in j resisting influenza, and other I dangerous ailments. A course | of S. S. S. will prove to you its great efficacy, as it has in so many cases of impaired and im poverished vitality. It is sold by all druggists, and is worth many times its cost in building up and strengthening the sys tem, and giving it a robust vig j orous and healthy circulation i that is so important in helping to ward off the attacks of dis ease.

With its millions of capital it Ib do ing untold good and as the presi dent's story proceeded all present felt that here was a great leader who had developed a marvelous or ganization for the welfare of human ity. Mr. Fisko Interlarded his re marks with concrete examples of the beneficent results of the prac tical policies of his great company and told of the loyalty and service of tho thousands of men who are associated with him in all parts of the United Statee and Canada In de veloping still better things In the dis charge of their stewardship. He paid Mr. Heathcote a tribute which must have warmed the cockles of the Harrisburg manager's heart. It was so sincere and so intimate and appreciative that all present felt tho testimonlnl of public recognition was worthily bestowed. He referred to the fact that four members of the Heathcote family had given a total of sixty years of service to the Met ropolitan and read a telegram of congratulation from one brother to another, dwelling upon the splendid character of the men who had made possible the development of the company's welfare work and Its In surance plans for the benefit of thou sands all over the land. Interesting Souvenirs Others who were called upon for after dinner speeches and who com plimented Mr. Heathcote and Inci dentally the great company which he represents were F. O. Ayres, the second vice-president; James A. Kavanagh, the third vice-president; James S. Smithies, the superintend ent of agencies; William Jennings, E. J. Stackpole, Rev. Dr. Sawyer, who spoke as the pastor of Mr. Heathcote and Dr. H. B. Walter, who represented the medical force of the company. An interesting souvenir of the din ner was a folder containing an etch ing of Mr. Heathcote and a fac simile of his first policy written when he was an agent of the com pany at Detroit, Mich. The woman who was insured through his activ ity is still living as a policyholder of the company. An interesting incident of the din ner was the explanation that the an niversary banquet had been post poned during the war and until the completion of the Penn-Harris Hotel. So that as a matter of fact Mr. Heathcote has served the company four years longer than the anni versary occasion would seem to In dicate and all present last night ex pressed the hope that he might live to repeat the occasion a quarter cen tury hence. In the remarks of the guest of honor he especially complimented the visiting nurses who were pres ent for the fine service which they had rendered and are constantly rendering among the policyholders of the Metropolitan in teaching peo ple how to live and how to keep well under proper health conditions.

JDOMUBBURO TKnaftlCTW| Why Memorial Is Needed By BISHOP PHILIP R. McDEVTTT "It Is possible and probable that future generations will not have the same Intensity of feeling In regard to the World War that the American of to-day experiences, and consequently may not ac cord to the heroic men of the Army and Navy the honor their valor has deserved. Hence the proposal is a practical and worthy one to erect now a memorial which will be forever a public, visible, silent, but eloquent reminder of the glorious achievements of the men who answered the nation's call to arms. "Surely the citizens of Harrisburg, who. with a generosity unsur passed and rarely matched, provided for the comfort and welfare of the men In the camps and in the trenches, will respond in their characteristic way to the appeal to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Republic in the crucial trial of the greatest of con flicts." Germany but Shadow of Old Empire, Says American Investigator Berlin, Tuesday, Oct. 7.—Present conditions in Germany are unfavor able, according to H. C. Stevens, of the National Bank of Commerce of New York, who has been investigat ing business in Germany for many weeks. "Germany is but a shadow of the great empire of 1914," he said o day. "She is a sick Samson, bound with chains and watched by a thou sand guards. Her people are not working and have not learned econ omy and self-denial; her industries are operating only spasmodically, and her once wonderful railroad system is at the point of disintegrity. "The question of extending aid to Germany will apparently be de cided by public sentiment in Amer ica. It is a question to be deter mined in a dispassionate way. The problem is both humanitarian and commercial, and America's judg ment should be predicted on facts, not on unreasoning fears." AVIATORS HOP OFF IN GREAT FLIGHT [Continued from First Pngr.l machines captured almost Intact on the western front. French, British and Italian machines are also en tered. Most of the American en tries are equipped with the famous Liberty motor developed by Ameri cans during the war and the race will afford a good opportunity to test its qualities against the best types of foreign makes. Tho foreign entries include Com modore Lee E. Charlton, air attache of the British embassy, who will fly a Bristol fighting plane that he has been using in "taxi" service at Washington, and Captain De La vergne, air attache of the French em bassy, who is to fly as a passenger in an American plane. Although prises totaling $66,0 >0 have been offered by the American flying club and private individuals for the winners of the contest, Major General Charles T. Menoher, chief of the Army air service, has ruled that they could not be accepted Ho announced, however, that there would be ratings for three compe titions each way. These include a time competition for the pilot cross ing the continent in the shortest time irrespective of stops and actual flying time; a speed contest for the pilot making the trip In the short est flying time and a handicap com petition based on actual flying time, but with each class or type of ma chine to be given a handicap per centage based on the reputed speed as computed by the technical section in its official tests. Under the rules of the contest there is to be no flying between sun set and sunrise on Sundays or in bad weather. Each contestant will be required to stop at least thirty minutes at each of the twenty in termediate stops. Aviators remainnig over forty-eight hours at one station, unless held there by the weather, are to be disqualified. No time will be taken out for forced landings. Richter Is First to Hop Off From San Francisco Field San Francisco, Oct. B.—Lieuten ant J. P. Richter, piloting a de Havi land plane with Lieutenant J. B. Patrick as observer, leaving the ground at 6.51 a. m. to-day, was first of the western aviators to "hop off" in the 2,700 miles race to Mineola, N. Y. Cadet D. A. Cardiff was second to take the air. He left at 6.52. His plane carried no obserVer. The first six machines took the air in less than five minutes and they were closely followed by three more. The sixteen pilots Included "aces" from the war zone, aviators who had won distinction at camps In this country and cadet aviators who did not win their "double wings" before the armistice. Late Friday the win ner expects to be in Mineola. The western aviators will attempt to beat fifty fellow flyers who were starting to-dayy from the eastern terminus. The westerners. It was conceded, have their greatest test at the beginning of the great race. Al most Immediately they will be com pelled to climb high, and their first day will find them sailing over the high Sierras of California and Ne vada and the Wasatch mountains in Utah. Lottery decided the manner in which the machines were to start. The first machine was In the center of the field. The second was on his left and the third upon his right, and so on. A second row with the same placing of starters completed the entries. The first to go was Haviland. BATHING BEACH PLANS DEVELOP [Continued from First Pajc.l Susquehanna bpsin and the possible locations he will ne in position to submit recommendations for the City Council. With the proposed loan of $40,- 000 those who have had the matter under consideration believe that bathing beaches and bathhouses de sirable for Harrlsburg can be pro vided. Engineers who are experi enced In the construction of swim ming pools have also communicated with Commissioner Gross and he has assembled considerable import ant data which will be usefu in reaching a conclusion regarding the local proposition. It has been suggested that at least two bathing beaches can easily be i established, one at the northern end 1 and the other at the southern end of Island Park where large pools may be established with a comfort able beach and adequate bath houses, erected at an elevation above the average flood stage. Circular Pool One engineering Arm sends a de scription of a pool located on the westerly bank of the Connecticut river, in the town of Agawum at an amusement resort known as River side Park. This pool is circular in I design, 300 feet in diameter and the bottom is built saucer shape. T£e depth of the water at the circum ference or rim being nothing and increasing in depth gradually. At a point near the center the pool Is six feet deep. From this point the pool floor drops down more abrupt ly until a center depth of eleven feet is had for diving purposes. The circular pool design was selected after a long discussion, plans being prepared for both circular and rec tangular pools, bids being received for both designs. Circular pools ap peared to lie a more suitable design for genernl public use, in asmuch as the nonswimmers grently outnum bered the swimmers and the ex pert swimmers and divers represent a small percentage of the bathing public. The same correspondent also suggests that the circular pool is safer, requiring less number of life guards. The only deep water is at the center and there is less danger of a person accidentally falling into deep water nnd on this account is much safer for children. The same engineering firm says a well-patron ized feature of the pool on the Connecticut river is the commodious sand beach which Is regarded as n necessary factor of an outdoor pool. The sand was spread to a depth of about nine inches creating a wide beach 1,000 feet long, and not less MEMORIAL PARK ADDITION The Suburb Vnparalelled.—Adv.
