Asks an Armistice for
the Harassed Senators

Abe the woman suffragists to al
low the Senate no rest? This is a
time of armistices and of suspended
hostilities elsewhere, yet here are the
leaders of the Cause planning new
demonstration in force to compel the
Senate to give them the one vote
they still lack to pass the amend
ment. On Monday next they will
march down Pennsylvania avenue to
the capitol with banners flying to de-
mand favorable and immediate ac-
ton; and failing that. they threaten
ITO raise such a situation that the
Senate win prefer to pass the
amendment rather than have it con-
tinue."
Is this use of an opportunity to
harass a tired body Of legislators al
together generous and sportsman
like? The Senate has but little
while to last. 1t is just finishing
a strenuous session in which its self
appointed task of running the war
and regulating the government has
exhausted its powers and tried its pa
thence. Why not e ct pass its re-
manning days in peace? Why seek
to make it work when it wants TO
dawdle before going home?
The suffragists are so near their
goal that their desire to press their
advantage is understandable. But is
feminine human nature so devoid of
compassion as to want to worry the
Senate into action under such con-
ditions?-New York World.

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 Infiammation
of the ear, or meningitis. and many OF
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza Is
identical with the epidemics Of inhuen-
"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 1880 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread FIRST to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
iIized world. Three years later there
was another fiare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide

Although the present epidemic Is
called Spanish influenza there Is no
reason to believe that 1t originated In
Spain. Some writer's who have studied

and 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. depresslon) are by no
means rs severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are In influenza. Final
", ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
SO 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 vornit. Most Of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly. and
with this comes fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
" slow.
In appearance one il struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side Of bis eyelids
may be slightly 'bioodshot,' or CON
gestea.' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose. or
there may be some cough. These signs
of q cold may not be marked; never.
