Influenza In Oklahoma

The influenza bacillus is working
overtime In Oklahoma, and by spring
perhaps third of the population will
have been in bed with influenza.
Many an able-bodied man arises in
the morning with vim enough to split
rails, but by evening is out of the
running. He has high fever, and
pains enough in his head, bones and
muscles to upset a neighborhOod. He
shivers with chilly sensations. The
Influenza bacillus has grabbed him.
Beware of the influenza patient. He
will sneeze and sneeZe until the en-
tire household becomes infected. All
sputum and nasal discharges should
be deposited on gauze or handker-
chief and burned. 1t often happens
that the sufferer RECEIVERS in two OF
three days. Again, the prostratlon
may be so great as to require weeks
for recovery. Condition of health at
the time of attack is often measure
of the period of convalescence. 1t Is
always best to call competent ply
stefan, as the after results of sc
we're attack of influenza are grave.
The patient should be put to bed and
kept there. Avoid giving cold baths.
However mild the case at its begin
ming, there is always danger Of re-
lapse, with serious complications.
Pneumonia, heart failure and menin'
gifts are close friends of the infu-
enza bacillus. One possible result is
chronic influenza, known as bronchi-
ectasis, developing into a chronic
cough, worse in winter. and attended
by purulent sputum. The symptoms
are sometimes mistaken for tubercu-
losis. In influenza the patient should
be fed according to his digestive ca
pacity, and given plenty of water to
dilute the toxins that have invaded
his system. Above all, obey the ply
stefan. 1t will prove saving in
time, health and money.

Vaccination Prevents Smallpox

Until the time of Jenner, smallpox
was one of the commonest and dead
Hest diseases. Vaccination, however,
produces immunity to smallpox, when
properly performed is practically free
from danger. With improved tech
nique, danger from syphilis has been
done away with. Immunity by vac
cination is not lasting, and the latter
should be repeated at reasonable in
tervals. Time has not changed the
character of smallpox. In unvacci-
mated persons it is the same deadly
disease that 1t was in ancient times.
The fact that vaccination prevents
smallpox is beyond question.

A Moral Miracle

The fact that not an American
missionary has been killed in the
holy war proclaimed by the Turkish
sultan, although there have been
many massacres in European and
Asiatic Turkey and in Persia led by
the fanatics trained from their youth
up in the belief that the slaughter OF
"infidels" is an act of piety, may well
be called "a moral miracle" as
Bishop Oldham has happily styled 1t.
We cannot lay the fiatterlng JUNCTION
to our soul that our flag has pro-
tected them. Most of the fanatics
never heard of America and the few
who have care nothing about 1t. AS
the bishop points out, our near neigh
bOrs, the MeXicans, have no terror OF
the American flag, when they set
about numbering and looting. Not
only have the missionaries been
spared, but in some instances their
interpositlon has saved native con-
verts.
The bishop does not claim that the
immunity is a special providence. He
ascribes it to the lives the mission
aries have led in the communities in
which these fanatical uprisings have
occurred. They have ministered unto
the sick, cared for the poor and in
every other way within their power
emulated the great Exemplar. The
bishop argues that recollection of
what these holy men and women have
done to alleviate the distress of the
communities in which they have
spent their lives has stayed the hands
of Mohammedans. No greater trib-
ute could be paid to the character Of
the men and women who have gone
out under the divine commission to
make disciples of all nations.-St.

Speed of Animals

The speed of a gazelle," fast as
a horse" fleet as a deer" SLOW as
an OK" are all familiar terms. But
few know just how fast or fleet or
slow these things are. An interest
ing computation made by scientists
is designed to throw light on the
matter.
A riding horse covers forty inches
while walking, while at a jog trOt 1t
covers eleven feet in a second. The
two-minute-a-mile horse covers forty
four feet in second.
The leisurely OK moves only two
feet a second when hitched to a
wagon, and about twenty inches
when attached to pillow.
The elephant, which can pull more
than six horses, moves over about
four feet six inches in a second, and
running as rapidly as it can Is able TO
travel but eighteen feet in a second
The lion is claimed to run faster
than the swiftest hunting horse
which is from eighty feet to 100 feel
second, according to the country
through which it is compelled tC
travel.
Tests differ greatly as to the speed
of a hare. Some claim it can trave
at the rate of sixty feet second
while others claim it cannot trave
more than half that distance.
The great variety of deer are al
quite speedy, but in certain localities
they can travel much more rapid!
than in Others A roebuck has beef
known to cover seventy-four feet
second when pursued by dogs.
The giraffe is said to pass over tn
ground at the rate of about fifty fee
a second. while the kangaroo cover
ten feet to fourteen feet a second.
