The first speaker presented to tie J audience was Judge Cherry. He J, ppoke In the highest terms of.Bing- - liam In the splendid manner in which her people responded to this and oth-er Liberty Loan drives. With refe-rence to the town he said that Bing-ham was one of the wonders of the world and he was glad for the oppor-tunity of speaking to such a patriotic people. He gave an interesting dis-- ' cussion of the war situation and im-pressed upon the minds or Ws.liear- - era the great importance of the peo-- . , pie, at home backing up the men at 4 .thej front.

She stated that not a single case was lost Who "took this prescription. and stayed in bed . and kept warm. We publish the same herewith, and leave -- you to judge on its merits: , "Boil one quart of water and let it cool. Pour it over one ounce of sweet niter, add half an ounce of carbonate of mag-,nes- ia cubes, half an ounce of Rochelle salts. Let it dissolve. Dose: One tablespoonful every three hours for - adults. children one teaspoonful every three hours, and keep the patient warm and in bed." . . TEACHERS CANVAS BIIJ FOR HI IH i, : I., el . n . .r Schools May Be Re-open- ed Aa The Epidemic Does Not Seem To , Be Spreading And Those Who Are Sick Are Having A Very Mild Attack Dr. T. B. Beatty Objects To Expert's Opinion On The Treatment Of Disease Dr. Woods Hutchinson Ex-pressed His Views In Salt Lake City. i . f k . . . , The teachers of the Bingham f schools made a thorough canvass of the camp early this week to ascertain the conditions here with reference to the prevalence of the Spanish influ-enza. The schools have been closed this week and every precaution has been taken to protect the school chil-dren from the disease, and it is now thought that under existing condi-tions the schools may be reopened Monday. It is thought that under the sanr tary arrangements at school the chil-- ( dren will be as safe as In their homea. The buildings are well fumigated and Is !n charge of a trained nurse who will keep, a careful watch over the children and if any of them show signs of symptoms of the disease they will be sent home. " . . ' x. !Dt. T, IB. (Beetty, state health has issued formal state-ment in reply to certain assertions said to have been made by Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York who for the past two days has been a visitor, in this city. Dr. Hutchinson's view was that the Spanish influenza ia Utah is of the rililder form and need not ' occasion great alarm, although of course, such preventive measures as are consistent should be . taken he said. . '. Following is Dr. JJeatty's state-ment: - "In view of the serious menace to the people of Utah arising from, the epidemic of Influenza and the Import-ance of full on the part of the public In the measures which have been ; Inaugurated to combat It certain surprising statements attributr ed to . Dr. Woods. iHutchlnson cannot ble people have contracted It, lrrt epectlve of the observance of preven-tive measures; and that the closing ot . places of amusement and other pub-lic assemblies are measures In which he has no confidence. "The facts are that It has' been demonstrated that the disease Is uau-- ally relatively mild in character on its first appearance In a community rapidly assuming greater virulence aa : it spreads: that people should not be deterred by the apparent mildness from adopting early and stringent t measures of prevention; that climate ? has little or no influence on the spread or virulence of. the infection; that children are extremely eusceptl- - . ble to the disease and should be rig- - . orougly orotected from possible ex-posure to Infected persons; that pub- - ; lie health authorities throughout the country are a unit in their confidence ' injtfaft life saving efficiency of prep-- .. ir preventive measures, the merits of " which have been abundantly proved by experience; that it Is no less than : criminal to promulgate the imfound- - ed and grotesque notion that notwith-standing all precautions, certain in-dividuals are fore orGs)pf4 t0 have ' the disease or to dlo from' jV these persons being those who are smcop- - , Uble and therefore cannot escape?' , "The circumstances compel a state- - V ment of the further fact that Dr. S Woods Hutchinson's reputation as a vA 'medical authority" has acceptance -- among the uay readers of Mb some-what sensational newspaper articles rather than among the members of ' the medical profession." Twenty-si- x have died of this dis-ease in the last alx days In Salt Lake : City and 85 new - caees . developed there yesterday, :;';" '; '',,.." Expert Gives His Opinion Plenty of pure, fresh air is the most effective medicine, and, in fact, the only treatment of demonstrated value that has been found for Spanish Influ-enza. No med'.eine has been found which will cure the disease and none has been found which will prevent a person from contracting it if he is Busceptible to the infection and is ex-posed. The only sure preventive for the disease Is to avoid exposure to It. ' The only means of accomplishing this that has tippn fnunH at oil attnt. be permitted to pass uneontroverted. "The aid statements are danger-ously misleading, not in accordance with the facts, and calculated to se-riously interfere with the efforts of the health authorities of the state. "Reference is especially made o the assertions that there is no cause for alarm, because the disease pre-vails here In a mild form that the favorable climate will prevent serious consequences; that children are only slightly susceptible to the disease and ere seldom attacked, that the disease will run its course until all susceptl-- lve is use of the gauze hospital mask. If a person is susceptible, is exposed and gets the pneumonia form of the disease he will either die in about three days or he will throw off the infection by the fttrength of his own resistance powers. Medical treat-ment will not save him. These are some of the rather start-ling statements relative to influenza and its aVtion made Tuesday by Dr. Woods Hutchinson, the noted Ameri-can authority of health ard sanitation who was a guest at the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake. Dr. Hutchinson, who spent more than a year in France, studying tho health and sanitation conditions t among the troops on the battlefront from Ypres to 1 wnzo, and has Just .come from Boston where he went through the terrific epidemic of In-fluenza In that city, came here to de-liver an adrdess last night before the Bonneville Club, But, owing to the eoidomle here the dinner had to be Indefinitely postponed. ' Dr. Hutchinson stated last night that the epidemic in Utah was not one to cause alarm. -. .. , "You have the disease in a mild form here." said he, "and because of your excellent climate, lack of slums and lak of large numbers of the very poor, the ep'demic here should not cause very serious consequences. It may be expected to run its course more rap'dly than, in many other places and with far less fatal results." The doctor was of the opinion that everything possible to be done was . being done by the authorities in an effort to check the spread and down keep the percentage of fatalities .Probably the most startling an-nouncement of the doctor Is that to the effect that medical aid will not prevent or cure the malady. He stated that no medicine has been found that would prevent a ' person who was susceptible from taking ihe disease if he were exposed and medi- - ' cine would not cure him aftei1 he got It is true that a vaccine has been developed which has been found to give fairly good results In prevention and has been quite effective in reduc- - ing fatalities, but this is so limited In , quantity, and the possibilities of its manufacture ojre so limited that it can not be gotten in quantities sufficient to be of material use in this epidem-ic,' said 'Dr. Hutchinson. "Hence the only thing to do 'is to. take every possible precaution to protect yourself from infection. Using .medicine fnr this purposo ia tsselfsss.

The Spanish influenza lias made 3ts appearance in the camp, and although the cases reported here are very mild much precaution ia being taken to hedge against the disease. H. N. Standish, city health officer, la on the lookout to prevent the spread of the disease, and he has recommended the publication of the following hints to the people who mtght become ef-fected: If you feel a Budden chill, followed by muscular pain, headache, bachache unusual tiredness and fever, go to bed at once. See that there Is enough bed cloth-ing to keep you warm. Open all windows in your 'tearoom and keep them open at all times. Take medicine to open the bowels freely. If there is cough and spitum or run--nin- g at the nose, care should be tak-en that all discharges are collected on gauze or rag and burned. Stay in bed until physicians tell .you It is safe to get up. Allow no one else to sleep in the "same room. Protect others by sneezing or cough-ing in a handkerchief. (Report all cases to the "board 1 of health. . Allow no visitors and do no visit-ing. ii , - The usual symptoms are raflamed and watery eyes, discharging nose, chilliness,-- pains aad fever. - TELEGRAPH H EVJS 12,000 Huns captured in the last two days on the extreme right flank of the German battle line. ; The-- allied advance into Belgium has already cut off the railroad con-nections with Ostend and Zeebrugge, the most important submarine bases , for the German j Fire swept the great northern oil peers at Seattle, Wednesday morning1 and did $2,000,000 damoge.

The letter was dated Salt Lake City, and reads: "Dear Sir, William Mayne As to an understanding we had .you were willing to give your services to us we give you your selection of a few places. We have an opening at the present time in rolling and cutting logs, which is a little hard work, but a man of your ability would not mind working sixteen hours a day for we are in need of you now. We also have an opening in Mexico fighting those savages.

" VMEMAGIS HDPEACE iVE ADVISED KAISER THAT GERMANY MUST HAVE PEACE AT ONCE ON TERMS SHE COULD GET. Washington. Reports reaching here through official sources by way of neu- - j trul countries not only indlcutes the existence of almost chaotic conditions j in the central powers, but also said It i whs Field Marshal von Iliudunburg himself who wus respoiiHible for the (Jerinua governments accepting the president's-- ' peace terms and Seeking an Immediate armistice. ' It was suld that at a recent meet-ing of the military lenders and the heads of the parties In the Von Ilindeuburg boldly declared thut Germany must have pence ut once at the best terms she could get. He suld the urmles no longer hud the necessary munitions and muterials to continue the struggle, nor was tht-r-e auy source of supply so far as he wns aware. Iu the light of this situation, the field marshal suld he felt the time had come to try first for an armistice and then for peace and he urged that this could be put In the light ef a conceti-bIo- d to the demands of the socialist and pacifists In - Germany. Prince Maximilian, the chancellor, Is reported to have strongly opposed such a course, but . imperial approval was given Von Hlndenbtirg's plans and the request for peace followed. No indication hus been given as to when replies will be made by Presi-dent Wilson to the Austrian and Turk-ish appeals for peuce. It is under-stood that there is no ground for the apprehension which has arisen in Aus-tria that the president would refuse to reply to Premier Burlan's uppeal because of the autocratic character of the Austrian government It was said that this mltfht well figure I" a final peace proposal, but would not operate to prevent the consideration of au urm-isilc- e which Austria seeks.

A PREDICTION MADE BY A SCRIBE It has boen customary for a long time for the prophets to foretell the outcome of elections. "But this time it is a scribe of the master type who will venture the prediction that Fran-cis W. Quinn will run some when It comes to the election on November 6. The scribe has known Mr. Quinn for some time and he can testify of his ability as a runner not in the manner In which the Huns are boat-ing it toward Berlin, but as a vote getter. If betting wrs permlssable we would advise bur friends to place their coin on the town clerk from the home of the Shamrock because when the count is ail over the "Mick" will be found "Way over the Top." INFLUENZA IS ABOUT OVER IN THE ARMY Washington, Oct. 16. While Span-ish Influenza continues to . spread among the civilian population gener-ally, a continued decrease in the num-ber of new cases at army camps to-night lead army medical officals to believe the peak of the epidemic among the soldiers has been passed. Secretary Baker said reports indicat-ed measures taken by the surgeon general's office had brought the dis-ease under definite control. t- ,-.
