addition there was enough extra pro-

Nashville.-Farmers should place or.

"You should urge the farmers OF
your county to place their orders for

as soon as possible, so that local deal
ers can provide by early shipment for
an adequate supply Of twine to meet
the harvest requirements. Shipping
conditions are such that more time
must be allowed from factory to local
distributing points to avoid danger OF
shortage in supply.
"You are advised that dealers may
charge a margin of 2 cents per pound
cash, or its equivalent, and 2h cents
on time, with freight added from the
factory, above the Manufacturers
price Of 20 cents per pound for bind

owing to heavy freight congestion tAs
Irvine must be ordered and held longer

MORE NURSES

According to reports received from
the home of DIR. de Gravelles, president
of the City Board OF Health, and Mrs
NJ. =. Palmer, chairman of the local re-
lief committee Of the Red Cross, a rather
discouraging number of additional in
fluenza cases has been reported since
Saturday morning. While but few of
them have thus far developed into seri-
Gus cases, it is very evident the greatest
care should be exercised in the observ-
ance of all preventative measures as laid
down, or due cause for alarm will result
in the very near future.
"'These measures cannot be properly
carried out and number Of cases al

Mrs. Palmer this morning, "unless more

the nurses thus far secured are assigned

we're sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some Of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-ealled Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics Of influen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1917. 1t Is interest
Ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient. spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
ilized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up OF the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic Is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that It originated In
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the tact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
faf Of 1917"
How can ~spanIsh Influenza" be rec
sonized2
There is as yet no certain way In
which a single case Of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
or hand. recognition Is easy where
there is group Of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
AID colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics Of influenza
may occur at any season Of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe In May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case Of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are In influenza. Final
~, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
70 extensively as does influenza.
In most cases person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit Most of the pa
dents complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 1O4. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
II slow.
''In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or CON
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
Of cold may not be marked never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
