H ToP SERGEANT.

His close-cropped head is grizzled,
And his eye is like a hawks,
And you hear the ring of sabers
In his accents as he talks.
The map of Clusters battle
Is engraved upon his brow,
And when 1t comes to cussing,
oh, he certainly knows how.
He takes the mammas' darlings
And the Reubens from the hay,
And shapes them into soldiers
AS a potter molds the clay.
He drills the love of country
In the bringing slacker's heart,
And the language that he hands you
Is the kind that makes you smart
The c. O.'s braid and buttons
Has the high official stamp
Parade days, but the sergeant
Is the boss round the camp.
We hate him and we e him,
But we're trying to a man
To be as nearly like him
AS a bunch OF rockies can.

lighter meal.
Nuts are concentrated foods, too.

Meat is only one of the foods which
furnish that bodybuilding material,
protein. Cheese, milk, eggs, beans,
peas, cereals, and nuts contain it in
plentiful amounts. Take cottage
cheese, for example. 1t is richer in
protein than meat. You can eat a
third of q cupful of it with relish, and
this third of a cupful will give you
as much of the protein as a quarter
of q pound of sirloin steak-a good,
generous serving. Or if you like baked
beans eat a cupful to get the same
amount of protein. The child to grow
must have food that furnishes this kind
Of bodybuilding material. You need
it, too. Even if you are grown up you
must have 1t to renew parts Of your
body used up by work and exercise.
Eat meat substitutes occasionally,
and you save a fighting material. Peas,
beans, peanuts, and cereals are cheap
er than meats and good to eat. They
should be used, but eat some milk or
cheese besides. Here are some sug-
gestions:
NluncJ DSaH 0LSWo

Q Os cupfuls canned i -'f tablespoonful

Wash the beans, put in covered ket-
tie, and soak overnight in two quarts
of cold water. Cook the beans slowly
in the water in which they soaked.
If necessary, add more water to cover
and continue the cooking until they
are nearly tender, usually about two
hours Wash the rice, cut up the
onion and add with the tomatoes to
the beans. Cook until rice is tender
about 80 minutes. Mix the flour with
a little cold water and stir in careful
ly to thlcken. A small piece of salt
pork cut up in cubes and added to the
beans at the beginning of the cooking
gives a pleasant flavor to the dish.

that Mr.. Wickersham advised the peo-

his arrival had secured favorable
report by the committee and the bill
was passed almost Immediately.

INFLUENZA

The Division of Sanitation OF
Washington, d. c has issued set of
rules ard regulations to help the vic
tins of the present epidemic of in
huenza to combat the disease. They
are:
Influenza is grippe" 1t is now
spreading over the country in epidemic
sorm The last extensive epidemic
occurred in 1SS9-aO, and the disease
was very prevalent for several years
after
The present epidemic disease is
plain influenza The term Spanish
Influenza" has been applied because
OF its recent prevalence in Spain. In
: fiuenZa occurs every year in the Unit
cd States, but it is more contagious
during an epidemic, and pneumonia is
a more frequent complication.
Infalza is caused by a germ, the
influenza bacillus, which lives but a
short time outside of the body. Fresh
air and sunshine kill the germ in a few
minutes.
! The disease is spread by the moist
secretions from the noses and threats
of infected persons.
Protect yourself from infection, keep
well, md dc not get hysterical over
the epidemic.
{ Avoid being sprayed by the nose
of others.
Beware of those who are coughing
and saeezing.
Avoi1 crowded street cars-walk to
the Office if possible.
Keep out of crowds-ayoid theatres
moving-picture shows. and other
pdaces of public assembly.
DO not travel by railroad unless
absolutely necessary.
DO not drink from glasses or cups
which have been used by others un.
less you are sure they have been
thoroughly cleansed.
You can do much to lessen the dan
ger to yourself by keeping in good
physical condition.
Avoid close, stuffy, and poorly ven
tilated rooms-insist upon fresh air,
but avoid disagreeable drafts. Z
Eat simple, nourishing food and
drink plenty of water. Avoid consti-
patton.
Secure at least seven hours sleep.
Avoid physical fatigue.
Do rot sleep or sit around in damp
clothing.
Keep the feet dry.
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-10-29

If you become ill don't try to keep
on with your work. Fight the disease
nationally and do not become unduly
alarmed. In the average case recov.
cry from acute symptoms follows in
five or six days. To hasten recovery
and lessen the danger of complications
go to bed at once and keep the body
warm. There should be plenty of
fresh air, but chilling is to be avoided.
At the beginning of the disease a
cathartic, such as 2 IL or 3 grains of
calomol, followed by seidlitz powder
or EPSON salts, is useful. Aspirin in
8 grain doses is useful for pain, but
do not take large doses of aspirin,
phenanetin, or other medicines. Send
fer the doctor
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-10-29

Influenza usually has a sudden onset
with '2hilliness, severe headache, and
aching all over" At times the dis
ease begins with nausea, vomiting, and
abdominal pain. Fever begins early.
Frequently catarrhal symptoms do not
appear until later. When they do they
are the symptoms of bad cold in
the head with a raw throat and dry
cough. Weakness and prostration out
Of proportion to the fever are common
Former epidemics have been charac-
teriZed by marked mental depression.
In the present epidemic many of the
cases are having a gradual onset
more like gradually increasing cold
in the head
Practically, the great danger from
influenza is pneumonia, which tends
to follow in a considerable percentage
of the cases.
For the protection Of others, if you
are really sick stay at home and re-
main there until the fever is over
A day in bed at the very beginning
may also save you from serious con-
sequences later on.
If you are up and about. protect
healthy persons from Infection
don't spray others with the secretions
from yelr nose and throat in cough
ing, sneezing, laughing, or talking
Cover the mouth with handkerchief.
Bell your handkerchiefs and other con-
tanina.ed articles. Wash your hands
frequently. Keep away from others as
much IS possible while you have
cough.
