INFLUENZA DEATHS INCREASE.
Mortality Record for Week, Ho~v-
ever, shows Decline.

There seemed some reason yesterday
for believing that grip and colds are
more widespread in his city at present
than is usual at this time OF year. As
the "cold in the head" rarely sends a
person to a hospital of itself and as
physicians are not required 10 report in
huenza cases TO the Health Department,
anything like exact figures are impos-
slble TO obtain.
The only figures available are those
of the Health Department for deaths at
trihpted to influenza. These total 2S7
forAthe first seven months of 1913. POI
for'the first seven months OF 1914 and
365 for the first seven months OF 1915.
The Increase this year Is striking, but
might he partly accounted for by in
crease Of population, greater accuracy in
making death returns and other simple
factors.
Only a meteorological examination
can make certain whether n case of in
fiuenza is really due to infection by the
influenza bacillus, but It makes little
difference to the sufferer what germ Ia
at work. TIT first thing to do with a
bad cold Is to see n doctor. Neglected
colds lead TO all sorts OF roubles from
tuberculosis to mastoiditis. Tho victim
should eat sparlngly and carefully. drink
plenty OF water. get a full nights sleep
every night and take a simple laxative
daily, such as cascara or calomel AZ
night, or sodium phosphate, citrate OF
magnesIa or some mineral water In the
morning.
1t is important In case of a cold In the
head not TO blow the nose vigorously or
to compress the nostrils In blowing IL.
To do so may force Infection up into
the ears.
The mortality in the city during the
last week showed a decrease, according
TO hgures made public yesterday by tho
Health Department. There were 1887
deaths. with a rate OF 1856 per 1000 per
sons, AS compared with 1914 deaths and
a rate OF 1856 In the corresponding
week OF 1911,
A marked decline was noted In the
number of fatalities from yIo,encs
sixty-e!ght being reported, as sgaIns,
lib for the similar period last year
There was a falling on In deaths due
to scarlet fever. typhoid fever, Brlght's
disease and nephritis. Causes revealing
an Increased mortality were measles
organic heart diseases. pneumonia ana
pulmcdary tuberculosis.

As TO his birth, Christ gave no
thought to the manner of its celebra-
ton by his disciples. They do not ap-

life. Had he ever any knowledge of

crib for US? 1t is hardly probable.
And, behold, that forgotten, neglected
birthday has conquered a place of hon,

anxious to guard him from that merry,
unruly crowd suspected incapable of
edification. No doubt those most seri-
Gus ancestors of our traditions had oc-
casion that day and often in similar
circumstances to believe the Master
touched with insanity.
No matter, the intentions of the Son
of Man have been largely realized.
His birthday has become the day of
the children. No earthly day has shed
more brightness upon their path. No
church festival gives more life to the
Unreasonable truth of the promise, u

world" None makes it sweeter to the
heart.
Christmas has a charm beyond them
all. 1t was the Christian soul. filed

as wonderful thing The present
congress promises to go far beyond
that figure. The cost of adequate
preparedness" as it is conceived by
the Wilson administration, is $780,
100000 above the present yearly ap-
preparation standard of the govern
ment. Attempts will be made to pare
down the appropriations in other
branches of national expenditure, but
there will be no drastic cuts except
in the rivers and harbors and public
building bills, and even these cuts
are doubtful, and dependent entirely
upon the consent of congress.
On almost every feature of the ad-
ministration program urged upon con-
gress, prolonged debates and bitter
fights seem certain. The question of
raising additional revenues to provide
for the enlarged expenditures already
has provoked widespread differences
of opinion, and congress will not lay
additional taxes on any class or sec
ton of the country without the most
strenuous opposition from those af-
fected by it.
Former Secretary of State Bryan
will lead the fight on the national de-
tense program. And the opposition
to the increased taxes also is expected
to come from him, or at least to be
