I VICIOUS GIF Some Hints Prom the State ment of Physicians. IT MAS NO KNOWN SOURCE Willi tlio OliiorvnncB of Certain lteguln lion People May or May Not Avoid the Dreaded Dlsea.o It Does not Helped Station and Attach Suddenly. S statod yesterday in thoso columns, the grip Influonza has secured a hold in Shon andoah and many othor towns of this region In sorao places its at tack is of a ferocious character and thero aro as many as four family suffering and fivo persons of ono from It. Tho Boards of Iloalth can do nothing. It rosts altogether with tho peoplo. Cieanllnoss, good, warm clothing, regular habits and good food wcro tho recommendations given a reporter by a physician. Live well, llvo correctly, avoid oxpo3uro and keep clean is all that can bo recommended to provent tho disease from taking bold. Unco tho grippo securo a footing it is as Ukoly to attack one person as anotbor. lho rich and tho poor, tho clean and tho dirty, tho half starved and tho well nourished aro all alike llablo to bo victims. Hut in tho caso of tho well fed, boalthy porson, tho course of tho disoaso is likely to bo short; its power is moro successfully combatted by vigor of constitution than by all the medlclnos in tho world. Tho truo causo and charactor of grippo are not well known and understood, although a great deal moro is known about It thon whou Ittnado its appoaranco In this country in 18s9. Tho birthplace of tho world -wido wave of in fluenza that roached tho Unitod States in that your was in Kussia, whero tho poople were sulfering from tho effects of an ex ceptlonally wot soason. Much of thoir grain lay unharvosted and rotting on tho ground, tho air was laden with dampness and dlseaso germs, and tho mortality was fright ful. Tho force of tho disease during that visitation seemed to bo expended mostly upon old persons. Women woro much less affected than men, and children wcro almost entirely oxempt. During tho grippo's second visit hero tho littlo ones seemed to bo specially marked as victims, and last year the women and other persons who, by reason of living largely indoors had escaped during tho two previous years, wero soriously affected. Grippo germs aro undoubtedly carried from placo to placo in tho air, in clothing and In other ways that will readily suggest them' boIvcs, and usually make thoir way along lines of travol and commerce. It is believed that tho gorms sometimes Ho dormant during tho summer and aro developed by tho recur rence of proper conditions. Exactly what are tho conditions most fvo ablo to the development of grippo is not fully understood as yet, but It is safe to say that cold, damp weather is very favorable to it. Persons who aro consumptively inclined should oxerciso special care. Tho best recommendation to mako to any ono who finds that grippo has fastened itself upon him is to call in a good physician at ouco. It Is not a good thing to fool with. Though to many it appears very much llko a hard cold, it may, at any timo, develop the most sorious complications, and, In unskillful hands, entirely unnecessary danger may ensue. Down to the present timo this yoar no re ports of great prevalence of grip have been received from the old world. Last year it raged with considerable virulenco, but its ravages were confined mostly to tho aristo cratic classes. This fact appears to ho against tho theory that cleanliness and good living aro especially valuable as preventivo circum stances, though it does not, perhaps, militate against the statemont that irregular habits and dovotion to stimulants have a tendency to predispose the system In its favor.

Some people have a prejudice againjt plasters, beoauso, as they think, they burn and blister. That is true of many, but not of Am.cock's Porous Plastebb, Thoy nover irritate the skin, but always have a soothing effect. They aro unoful in caso of any local pain and as a rule will bring immediato roliof. If they do not, It Is because the trouble has been allowed to become so serious that no oxternal remedy will reach it, and tho chances aro that any treatment will fall.

Still IUrIiik l'lert-rly Hut If Conllnoil mid HitliiKiilstiiMl In Ita Present Uuartcrs the Operation Will Not lie Seriously Ktnliiirrimsed. HIS morning fire broke )ty out in what is known as tho old shaft of tho Kohinoor colliery and llOtwi t ll B t. A ,1 ll 1 Yl VZTMyVl 'b 1'ronil,t cllorts on tho iTOfl Wfa'' It of tho officials to extinguish it the flames spread rapidly and soon attained a headway which at tho present threatens to causo considerable damago to tho colliory. When tho JlKit i.i wPnt to pross tho colliery officials woro making gallant eilbrts to got the flro undor coutrol, but tho ilamos seemed to have a strong hold. Tho officials, however, said that with plenty water thoy could placo tho inlno beyond danger. Thero is an ample water supply at hand but tho facilities of getting tho hoso down to tho scat of trouble was giving tho officials somo trouble. Tho flro started in tho pump houso which is located on tho Holinos'Jfor Primroso) vein, and which was located about fifteen feet from tho bottom of tho new shaft and about 200 feet vortical height from tho surface. Tho new shaft has not been in operation for over two years past and is practically workod out. but tho pump has been kept In operation and thero is also a pump in a slopo about ono hun dred yards from tho pump houso near tho shaft. Tho operations of tho colliery have been ontirolylepondcntupon tho old.or Mammoth, 8haftfor twoyoars or moro ami tho only men who havo been working in tho new shaft aro tho ulglit and day pump men and such mechanics and carpenters who may havo been sent down to mako repairs. Thero is no counoolion between tho old and new shaft workings, savo an opening made for tho purposo of lowering feed, etc., but that has long since been closed up and has only rarely been used by mechanics sont to mako repairs to the rumps. Joseph Hilton was on duty at tho pumps in tbo now shaft last night and ho ascended tho shaft at 0:30 this morning. Ho was relieved by Georgo Flook tho day man. Flook went down at at about 7 o'clock and after a brief visit wont down tho slope to examine the pump there. Ho was down tbo slopo 30 or 40 minutos when ho returned to tho shaft pumps houso and found it on fire. Hastily ringing the bell he jumped upon tho oago in tho shaft and upon roachiugtho surface gave an alarm of fire. A telephone message was at once sont to S . A. Beddall, tho land agent for tho Shacfer es tate and that gentleman gavo tho alarm to the Columbia Hose Company, whoso head quarters aro almost directly opposite bis resi dence. Tho company responded promptly and was upon tho scene by 8 o'clock. The company ran Its hoso over to tho shaft, but when It was lowered the weight was so great that the coupling broke and its service was useless. Notwithstanding this discouraging feature the Columbia boys gavo a good helping hand and wero by no means stinting in assistance. Immediately after tho nlarm(wos sent from the colliery tho officials put the colliery ap paratus Into play. Attaohing to two borough plugs and drawing upon the water tanks. At the same time the fan, which is located about 200 yards west of the shaft, was re versed and this drew the smoke and flames from tho shaft. Although the fire did not directly affect the old shaft workings, all tho men there woro called out and the stable bosses put all the mules In a distant part of the mine, so that they could not be affected in any way by the smoke. No successful attempt to descend the abaft was made until about 11 o'oloek and when the men who descended the sag then re turned to the turfkee, among (bent Inside Foreman Jame, It WM stated that with an ample supply of water the file could be speedily extinguished. This afternoon the fire wm raging at the bottom of the old shaft and a gallant fight wm iff being made against It. Among Jthoso on tho grounds were Mine IiKqwctor T. R.

All these officials agreed that tho flro ap. peared to bo of minor Importance and would ho speedily extinguished, but It was quite evident that wlion beyond tho hoarlng of the rcportors thoy woro soniowhat auxious. As to tho origin of tho flro nouo of the officials would give any dofinito opinion, but they agreed with tbo supposition that a lamp tho day pump man had left in tho pump houso had oxplodod. As to tlio damago the fire will ontail there cannot bo estimated nt present. If the firo can be confined to Its present quarter the. operations of tho old shaft will not suffer. TUB FH8K OUT.
