TWO MONTHS IN
 FIELD NECESSARY

With regard to the reserves experience
 has verified the dietum of the Servian
 and Bulgarian generals in the war of 1913, namely. that two months in the field are necessary in order to get at the full value of reserves Our infantry is now accustomed to the rapid and thor ough Organization of the defensive. During the past five months not sin- gle encounter can be cited in which our infantry did not have the advantage over attacks have been repulsed except to
 the north of Soissons wnere their suc-
 cess was due to the flooded state of the
 Aisne and the carrying away of our
 bridges. Our attacks. on the other hand, have yielded important results and have
 been carried out with plenty of spirit. although without the inlprudence which

 The artillery has displayed a superiority in the use of it's admirable material, which is recognized by the Germans themselves. This chapter of the report concludes with tributes to the work of the avia- tors and to the less brilliant but not l less useful work of the engineers, who in the trench warfare which is now be- | ing waged have naturally been called upon to display great activity

THE GERMANS MEET
 DEFEAT AT YPRES

The enemy had now begun an attack more important that it's predecessor in view of the numbers engaged in it. This attack was intended as a renewal in the south of an effort which had just been shattered in the north. Instead of turning our flank on the coast it was now sought

 The quality of the troops has improved perceptibly since the beginning of the war The men have become hardened

LA GRIPPE.

La grip is the common or popular
name for influenza. This remarkable
disease has prevailed from ancient
times, the most probable proof OF
which is from historical illusions tC
widespread epidemics of a disease
which was eve definitely under
stood, although it was known that il
differed from other diseases.
1t did not command the most seri-
GUS attention of the medical profess
sion until 1891, when an epidemic of
this disease became so widespread
as to merit the distinction of being
called a pandemic. he following year
a germ was found in the discharges
of influenza patients which was
proved to be the cause of this dis
ease. AS no other disease is char
acterized by such rapid onset in a
community it was only natural that,
for a long time it should be regard
ed as dependent on seasonal and me-
THEOLOGICAL conditions. but it is now
known to be a contagious disease
which follows the tracks of commerce
and human travel, always proceeding
from person to person rather than
from place to place. 1t is a seasonal
disease only in this respect, that, like
pneumonia, it is more prevalent in
winter and spring because, usually,
the vitality and general resistance to
disease is low at such times.
Among the reasons for this lowered
vitality may be mentioned much in
door life in poorly ventilated and
overheated rooms, and the failure to
properly protect the body by suitable
clothing and footwear against the
cold and variable weather conditions.
To this cause may be ascribed the
majority of the cases of influenza in
Kansas City at the present time.
All persons are liable to the dis
ease. Children under l year are
least susceptible and, in some cpl
denies they may escape altogether;
it is, however, frequent among chit
dren over 2 years. A popularity of
the disease is that one attack does
o insure the patient against sub
sequent attacks; in fact, it seems to
make him more liable. Individuals
have been known to suffer from two
or more attacks within a period of
one month.
There are several types of influ-
onza, each characterized by that par
ticular part of the nody which bears
the brunt of the attack: thus in the
respiratory form the most prominent

If WERE A BOY AGAIN.
By B. V.

First of all, I should give the best
attention to my teachers in the Sab
bath and public schools, the mightiest
political forces, and the largest as
sets of patriotism. AS attention is
the great condition of learning and re-
Numbering because it helps our minds
to secure an accurate an d%enduring
first impression, l should absorb just
that knowledge which most stimulates
the imagination and quickens the
power of observation, the two facul-
ties to which all great men and wom-
en- owe success; and should strive
to know who are the race leaders
who have made space in history be-
cause of their striving and achieve
ments.
If l were a boy again, l should
come evermore into contcat with a
living and real world of existence.
Happy child the roof whose school
room is the blue heaven with its
drifting clouds and mellow tints Of
sunrise, and glories of evening; whose
bench is the soft grass, the gray
stone, the limb of the apple tree.
And it is evident that the very con-
stitution of nature throbs with the
desire and purpose of the Father to
make himself known to his children.
| should avoid little mistakes. 1t
takes very little knowledge to enable
one to see that the little mistake
here and the little mistake there have
through the years brought mischief.
| should endeavor to understand and
to practice forgiveness. 1t is as true
today as it was when l was a boy that
to forgive and forget means to be
at peace. / should be more care
full about learning the hard lesson of
patience, and above all, the beauty of
self-control-the control of body, of
speech, of temper; a power best
learned in youth before the current
of habit has deepened the channel of
self-will. Suffice it to say: IF ! am
not in control, | am not the king !
should be. Part of my kingdom is
in instruction"
If | were a boy again | should be-
are Of slang and gossip. ! should
cultivate by study that geniality and
facility of expression and learn to
dwell upon what is kindly and happy.
I should be more ready to express
my thanks for services rendered, be
quickest with my praise ,tardier with
my criticism and firmer with my eff
fort to brood over the truth until
had made it not merely the thought
but the passion of my life.
Whoever among my readers is think
ing Of laying aside his or her plans,
desires and possessions with the hope
of being a boy or a girl, need to be
reminded that these things | should
do If | were a boy again run ava
with golden promises like hopes
brightest visions. And as | consider
my age and experience and opportu-
nifty my eyes become open to danger
of losing the splendid optimism which
should buoy me and | find myself
reaching out toward higher standards
OF living, not material living alone,
but social life, mental and moral
strivings and achievements.
Though the way be long, still mem
ory's song
Thrills up from the distant past;
And we know through the strife Of life
on life
We shall come to u own at last"

symptoms are associated with the
nose, throat and bronchial tubes, and
are accompanied by nasal discharges
and cough; in the gastro-intestinal
form, the chief symptoms-nausea
and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal
pain and general digestive disturb.
ances-are associated with the stom,
ach and bowels. These two types OF
the disease are most frequently seen;
the others are rare. There are, how
ever, certain general characteristics
of influenza in any form which are so
well known that the physician fire.
quently finds that patients have made
their own diagnosis. These symp-
toms may be described as follows:
Unmistakable conviction on the part
Of the patient that he is sick, general
rrostration, aching in the limbs and
back, though the patient usually says
he 'aches all over" headache, some
nausea and fever.
The duration of the disease is usual
ly from two to seven days, occasion
ally several weeks. 1t responds read

disease of which few die, it often
prepares the way for more serious
diseases. For this reason the serv-
ices of a competent physician should
always be employed in order that
the proper precautions may be taken
against bronchitis, pneumonia, tuber-
culosis, diseases of the heart, kidneys
and nervous system, which frequently
follow in the wake Of influenza.
Since this is a contagious disease
it may readily spread through con.
tact to other members Of the house
hold. The patient, therefore, should
be isolated in a separate room in
which there is sufficient and constant
ventilation; his excretions should be
disinfected with formaldehyde and all
articles used in the sick room, such
as linens, dishes, etc, should be
boiled before being used by other
members of the family.
The question naturally arises as to
what precautions may be taken by the
individual against contracting the dis
ease. The best protection against in
fluenza is normal health, that condi-
ton in which the natural protective
forces of the body are in the highest
state of efficiency. To obtain and
maintain this, the laws of hygiene,
pertaining to eating and drinking,
sleeping, clothing, bathing, ventilat-
ing, heating. etc, which VIZ try to eX-
plain from time to time in this
column, must be ~religiously and con-
sistently obeyed.
