SPANISH INFLUENZA
By N. J. LaRose
Commissioner Of Health.

By reports from the State Board of HEALTH
we are warned that many cities and towns IN
the central and southern parts Of the State are
suffering from a relapse Of the Influenza and
that it is working it's way North
Granted that this may be true, it would hard
ly seem necessary to warn the public how to
care for these cases. since our late experience
with the same, and yet warning note will be
proper under the circumstances.
In the late epidemic, it will be remembered
more adults were attacked and died than chill
dren while in this recurrence the reports show
much larger number of children are being
attacked then adults
1t may be well to warn the people to take
extra care that the children avoid wet feet or
bodies, also extremes of heat or cold to take
regular baths and meals, and other such pre-
cautions as experiences have taught us along
these lines. The printed circulars that have
been distributed, give due precautions as to
the care of those who are attacked, in the way Of
keeping all others out Of the sick rooms except
those who care for the sick ones, as these cases
are quite contagious. Every nurse should
wear face mask while in the sick room. (See
Page Of the Circular). No persons will be al
lowed to attend school or any other public gath
ering from families where cases exist. All chill
dren with fresh colds should be detained at
home until they have recovered This order
would not be required under normal conditions
Cards will be placed on houses where these
directions are not carried out.
Superintendents and teachers Of Public and
Private schools are warned not to expose chill
dren too much to draughts in fire drills, also
drills out and in from school buildings, without
proper wraps.
Normal conditions at home should also be
taught and enforced such as regular baths
and regular meals and undue exposure to the
weather should be avoided

The special issue of Leaves of Healing, vol
ume AZ, number 5, containing the address by
the General Overseer entitled, ''The Terrible
Things That Are Now Being Recorded in the
Newspapers and the Literal Fulfillment of
Many Bible Prophecies, y is now sold out Two
weeks ago we advertised 1000 copies Of this
paper at very reduced price. The response
has been remarkable This, with the 1000 cop
les of 1'The Present Great World Crisis and
the 5000 copies of the General Overseer's tract,
makes about $4,000 pieces Of literature dealing
with the Time Of the End and the Second Com
ing Of Christ, sold within the past five weeks
It is well for the housewives of Zion City to
remember that the Zion Fuel Department col
lects all kinds Of waste material such as rags
old magazines, newspapers, rubbers, aluminium
iron, rubber tires, etc. This offers an excellent
opportunity for children to earn pin money for
Christmas Fourth Of July, and other occasions
1t is remarkable how much waste material ac-
cumulates in city Of this size. Some people,
falling to realize the value Of saving these cast
off articles, burn them but it is better to realize
something on them when one has the opportun-
lty. The Fuel Department has shipped away
seven carloads Of waste, since July l.
The business Of Zion Garage is heavier than
ever before, even in summer, in spite of the fact
that the new concrete road has not yet been
opened on the South further than the Beach
road When the new highway is completed, the
travel along this thoroughfare will be enormous
at all times Of the year. Heretofore the guides
have steered autoists, travelling between Chic
ago and Milwaukee, west VIA Lake Geneva or
the Milwaukee road The garage not only does
general auto repairing but xy-acetylene weld
ing, tire retreading and general machine work.
Deacon A. e. Sach, advertising manager of
Zion Department Store, has added an air-brush
outfit to his equipment, enabling him, by the
use Of stencils, to produce very artistic and
pleasing effects In the way of advertising, such
as landscapes, flowers, birds, animals, Christmas
scenes, scroll work and other conceptions This
is done by the compressed air blowing the col
oring matter on the large display cards, which
when placed in the various departments greatly
add to the decorative appearance Of the store

not citizens OF the United States who cast bal
lots prepared for them without their dictation
or suggestions the wholesale payment OF poll
taxes by unauthorized persons for illiterate
and unnaturalized Mexicsns; the voting Of

RAGING HELPS WAR FUND
Four Weeks At New Orleans Fair Grounds Nets Government S21 ,OO0 Through Admission Tax.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 6.-The rac- ing at the Fair Grounds track this winter will prove profitable to Uncle Sam.
 During the four weeks of racing in January a trif1e over $21, 900 was col lected as a war tax on admissions.
 This sum was turned over yesterday to the internal revenue officers. The directors of the Fair Grounds also have paid $35,000 on the purchase price of the City Park track, which was taken over in the winter of 1916- 17 by the Business Mems Racing As- sociation.
 The purchase price was $300,000, of which amount $50,000 was paid in cash, with the remainder to be paid in yearly instalments at the expiration of ten years. When clear title is taken the track will be turned over to the city as an annex to the recreation ground known as City Park.
 "Curley' Brown built the City Park track twelve years ago.
 Bayard Tuckerman, the we'll known amateur rider and polo player, now an officer at Camp Shelby, arrived here yesterday in quest of a horse and purchased the thoroughbred Campine.

CLUB BOXING DOOMED
Justice Hend1ick Gives Adverse De- cision in GE'upp A. c. Case-Upheld Action of State Legislature.

New York, Feb. 6.-Boxing under the club membership plan received it's coup de grace yesterday when Supreme Court Justice Peter A. Hen drick dismissed the writ of habeas corpus obtained in behalf of Packey Ogatti, a boxer arrested during bouts at the Grupp A. C., on West 116th street. The case of the club off, cials hinged on the testimony of Ogatti that if an admission fee had been charged he was unaware of it and could not be punished for the offenses of others. Justice Hendricl brushed aside this contention in these words:
 When man participates in a sparring match it seems to me quite reasonable to presume that he must know whether or not he is giving the exhibition gratis or whether he re- ceives compensation. If the latter it is only a step to the presumption that he must know the sources from which the money is received. If there is no admission fee offense is committed If there is a fee it is so nearly part of the exhibition as to

Comes Easy, When You Think.

(New Haven I1meS-Leader).
 "A half dozen of your nice white wheat cakes, mother" says dad, sit ting down to breakfast.
 "Wheatless day; but here's some hot corn cakes,'' says mother.
 And, on the way down to the office, dad thinks about corn, like this:
 Corn was the pioneer American crop and is still the one cereal crop in which America leads the world. The early voyagers took back to Europe ears of corn as a curiosity. Our Pilgrim fathers almost lived on corn. Corn was the first crop planted in all the virgin soil as it was settled, from the Atlantic to the broad prairies and beyond. Those who cleared off the forest and brush put in corn first thing, and so it goes to this day.
 There is hardly a, domestic animal but it thrives best on corn. In much form, it is better for even pups and kittens than meat. AS a life-saver, Or a flesh builder, it comes next to milk, which alone is both meat and drink
 And it will help win worlds war.
 Mother, some more of those hot corn cakes, please. I'm beginning to eat with my brains," says dad, next breakfast time.

LIKE REPEATS
Little Jockey After Scoring Thrice on Monday Comes Back With Two Wins Yesterday.

New Orleans, Feb. 6-Jockey Lyke, who rode the thoroughbreds belong ing to James Butler on the metro- politan tracks last year, has developed into one of the leading jockeys here. Monday he rode three winners at the Fair Grounds track and yesterday he came back and guided two more home ill front.
 He had the leg up on Busy Joe, which ran off with the first race, and rode Obolus, the winner of the foSrth event. In each instance his horse manship played an important part in the result.
 On the New York tracks Lyke was considered a second rate jockey. He had a peculiar seat and often was and beaten by other jockeys who were riding inferior horses. On several occasions his poor horsemanship earned the wrath of Jack Mccormack, who trained the Butler horses last season.
 As was the case Monday his win- ming mounts were on favorites yes- terday. Busy Joe was at 2 to 1 and Obolus at to 5. Kultur finished second in the first race and Harry Mason was third. Brother Jonathan finished behind Obolus and Bubbub took the third end of the purse. ;.

DANIELS REFUSES
 RED SOx REQUEST
Navy Secretary Declines to Grant
 Jack Barry a Furloush

Washington, Feb. G.-The Boston Red Sox will not have the services this year of Manager Jack Barry and other members of the 1917 baseball machine who have enlisted in the Naval Reserve. This was decided yesterday by Secretary Daniels, who issued general order prohibiting furloughs to all athletes.
 The request that Barry be placed on the inactive list was made to the department by Representative Galh- van, of Boston, on behalf of the owners of the club. Gallivan told Secretary Daniels that majority of the members of the Red SoX club en- listed in the navy at the close of v.the 1917 season and were now on duty as yeomen at Atlantic seaboard points. He urged the fur1oughing of Barry on the grounds that his serv- ices as manager of the Boston ball club was essential to the manage ment to whip into shape the frag- ments of the 1917 team and the new men signed to take the places of those who had answered the caN of the navy.
 Secretary Daniels informed Galli- van that he recently refused to fur lcugh a North Carolina boy in the navy upon the urgent request of his father, who needed him in an impor- tant business venture, and that to permit the Boston athlete to return to civil life for the summer would be establishing a precedent that might be difficult to follow in the future.
 If Barry and his fellow players of the Red Sox team are not over seas by the baseball season." officers in the Navigation bureau said, they can enjoy the summer pastime by organizing clubs in the navy. Unless the athletes who have joined the navy are actually at sea, it is the in- tention of the department to provide them with opportunity to keep in shape by playing ball, but the uni- form they will wear will be of the United States navy and not that of private ball clubs.
 There is no disposition to discour age athletic sports by the order of the secretary, but to permit certain individuals to leave the service g to enter private life during the baseball season would open a gate that would be hard to shut on other men in the navy who wanted to engaged in ctvil- ian occupation during the summer"

render the participants amenable to the penalty prescribed.
 T am of the opinion that 1t is competent for the legislature, in the exercise of police power, to prohibit any act tending to a breach of the peace. Sparring in itself is not in- herently wrong. The legislature has not undertaken to declare it so. Nor is sparring given as an exhibition for money malUm in SC. But, in the judgment of the legislature, it tends to corrupt the public morals, and for that reason it is prohibited. The act is prohi bited because the legislature believes public and private life is healthier without it. The act is pun ishable and not the intent. It is inn material therefore, whether or not participants are ignorant of the con- ditions under which exhibitions are given.
 Ut is the province of the legisla ture to determine, in the interest Of the public, what shall be permitted or forbidden"
