JAPAN's REPRESENTATIVES, HERE.

1T is matter OF curious coincidence that the
announcement of the proposed departure of the
Japanese Ambassador. Niscount Aok from
Washington. followed by that of the coming or
Baron Takahira should coincide with the
delivery of the Presidents message, which was
silent on the question of relations with Japan.

shins and frequent cruises 20 the Pacific and
also with the sailing OF the first Warship for
the rendezvous whence tie fleet of sixteen will
soon depart for the western side of the conti-

OF Aoki had long been predetermined. The nsw

An eminent Spanish scientist has made
the recent discovery that the sunflower
yields splendid febrifuge that can be used
as a substitute for quinine. Accordingly,
the sunflower should not only, by it's grow

also yield a product which is used advan-
tageously in all feyers.

small cakes. Experiments are being made
with the new substance to find out its COM

Leaves Blood Exhausted.

But even when this is accomplished and
the influenza patient begins to feel bet
ter, 1t often happens that the severe Work
of producing a great amount OF influenza
antitoxn leaves the patients blood ex-
hausted. 1t is not only incapable of pro-
ducing more influenza anttoxin, but is
also incapable of producing any consider
able amount of antitoXin to fight the toxins
secreted by the germs of any other disease
pneumonia tuberculosis, for instance.
That is why when a man is recovering from
influenza he is peculiarly susceptible to
pneumonia and tuberculosis. If the germs
of either of these diseases get into the
lungs, he is unable to combat them, and so
they make themselves at home and begin to
destroy his tissues.
ady of a very serious GEOGRAPHICALLY in
it's after effects. Therefore, a person who
falls a victim to the disease should get
a good doctor and follow his directions ex-
plicitly. After convaescence something
should be done to invigorate and strength
en- the body and give back to the blood
its lost richness and its lost skill at fight
ing germs. The best way to accomplish.
these things is to take a couple of weeks
holiday, with a change of air, If possible,
and to eat plenty of nourishing, wholesome
food, and stay in the open.
People who object to going to bed when
they have la grippe and insist, as soon as
they are well enough to stand, upon going
back to work, are. apt to take pneumonia
or even tuberculosis. high authority
estimates that 20 per cent of the tuberculo-
sis in America today is the result of neg
lected cases of influenza. Thus it is APP
parent that while la grippe itself kills but
1000 Americans a year, 1t probably paves
the way for the death of a great many
more.
Efforts are being made to produce an ar
tificial antitoxin to aid the antitoxin of
the blood in it's fight against the toxin,
or poison, secreted by the influenza germ.
In few years, no doubt, this antitoxn
will be in common use, just as the dfph-
liberia antitoXin is today In addition, bac-
teriologists trying to perfect vac
cine capable of protecting human beings
against influenza infection. The familiar
smallpox vaccine has robbed smallpox Of
it's old terrors and some day, let us hope,
influenza will cease to afflict u.s. too.
Meanwhile there Is no. specific remedy
for influenza and all the physician can do
is to keep the body of the patient as vigor-
Gus as possible and try to counteract the
effects of some of the symptoms, such, for
instance, as fever. Good feeding and prop
er nursing essential. particularly In
the nervous forms of the disease, with their
Warm baths and hot drinks aid in the cure
and ice packs on the head reduce the fever.
1t is best not to take medicine. OF any sort.
Influenza sufferers are usually much de-
pressed, and so it is well to make some eff
fort to restore their good humor. But it Is
dangerous to attempt this by trying to con-
vince them that they are not seriously i'll.
Beyond everything else, they should be in
duced to remain in bed. The patient who
gets out a day too soon may easily pay
for his impotence with his life.
