HEALTH A PATRIOTIC DUTY
Pamphlet Urges Every Citizen to Join
an Organized War on
Disease.

In a pamphlet entitled Fighting
Trim" issued by the United States
public health service, Surgeon ]. M.
Eager lays stress upon personal en-
deavor of every individual as of the
highest public Importance in the or
ganized war against disease The
wonderful victories that have been
won in combating infectious maladies
have had tendency to divert popular
attention from the equally important
personal fortifcation against diseases
Of all kinds. The question of prepared
ness against onslaughts of the enc
my, query prominent in the minds
of everyone in these days of warfare
is put in a special personal bearing as
relating to the dangers threatened by
disease, the permanent enemy of
mankind.
Are you personally prepared, it is
asked, for the hand-to-hand encounter
with disease that you are sure to be
forced into sooner or later or in which
perhaps you are already engaged? I'M
less you are willing to succumb with
out struggle, fight you must, no mat
ter how feeble your fighting proclivi-
ties are. The inevitability of the bat
tie against disease is strongly insist
ed upon.
In the defense against disease two
things are necessary-a systematic
union of fighters. the sanitary organi-
zation, and personal preparedness, the
product of intelligent and diligent per
sonal hygiene. Personal prepared
ness is the patriotic duty of every citi-
zen as an aid to national sanitary de-
fense. No man as member of So
ciety is morally free to live unhy-
CHEMICALLY or to acquire disease
through lack of personal care. Like
slovenly soldier the person who
neglects his health risks imparting to
others his loose morale, or even trans
mitting disease to the whole commun-
ity

THE GOSPEL OF CHEER

Learn to laugh-a good laugh is
better than medicine.
Learn to keep your troubles to
yourself-the world is not inter-
ested in them.
Learn to stop croaking-f you can't
see any good in the world, keep
the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your pains and aches
under pleasant smiles-no one
cares whether you have headache
earache or rheumatism.
Don't cry-tears do well in novels
but they're out of place in real
life.
Don't spend your time in regulat
ing the conduct of others-live
as you think others should live
and you'll be pretty nearly per
feet.
Learn to live your life and let 9th
ers live theirs-this would be 8
dull world for you if everyone
lived as you wanted him.
Don't bother others when the.
wish to work-because you are
loafer don't try to force 9th
ers to become so.
If you see others doing what you
think is sinful, don't condemn
them-you may be wrong you.

If you want to reform others try tc
educate them-when you resort
to the law, the chances are you /

ALLIES FLAGS MUCH ALIKE
London Newspaper Describes the varl.
Gus Embiems Under Which the
Nations Are Fighting.

Not a few people are making the
mistake of flying in Russia's honor
the picturesque yellow flag with the
double eagle, under the impression
that it is our ally's national flag. This
flag, however, is really the imperial
standard, while the white flag with
the blue st. Andrews cross is the
Russian naval ensign. The latter IS
used only by the navy. and is not
allowed to be flown by private in
dividuals.
The Russian national flag, which
should be used in this country by peo.
pie who wish to show their admiration
for Russia, is tricolor, white, blue
and red stripes. placed longitudin-
ally.
There is, indeed, remarkable
similarity between the flags Of the
allies. France, Russia and Serbia
all employ the same three colors, only
the arrangement differing. In regard
to the flags of Russia and Serbia it
may be pointed out that, as the colors
are the same, a Serbian flag upside
down would be the Russian. and vice
versa. Belgium flies a tricolor with
the colors vertically, as in the case of
the French flag. The Belgian colors
black, gold and red are said to sym.
boiize the emergence of of the country
from darkness into light through blood
and fire-a most appropriate device

BeIied by Its Name.

"The Order of Fools" contrary
to its name, was a serious body,
founded by Adolphus, count of
Cleves, in 1881. 1t was formed for
humane and charitable purposes,
and the membership was largely
composed of noblemen and gentle
men of high rank. The insignia
was the figure of fool, embroid-
cred in brilliant colors on the left
side of the mantle or coat. They
held grand conclave at Cleves ey
cry year, lasting an entire week.
The organization was kept up till
well on into the sixteenth century,
but the original objects were grad
ually lost sight of, and the order
became extinct.

Children's Home Finding and Aid
Society of this state, was looking
after the interests of this worthy in

the subject at three of the local
churches Sunday.
In discussing the work of the So
ciety, he stated that at the end of
six and one-half years over 1900
children had been cared for, and in
the Lewiston distaict 80 were pleced
in good homes durind the months of
February, March and April of the
present year. The Society has had
the care of more children during the
past twelve months than at any pre-
vious time in its history.
There are now over 80 children in
the Home at Lewiston, and it is de-
sired to place these with good fam
lilies as rapidly as possible to make
room for others. Several of the lit.
tie folks have found happy homes in
and around Nezperce, and if there
are any other families who wish to
adopt a boy or girl, they should
communicate with the Children's
Home, Le6iston, Idaho.
