In the head, eyes, ears, hack or other
parts Of the body and feeling of Sc
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-callcd Spanish influenza is
identical with the epiden.ics Of in!lucn.
za OF earlier years Is not yet known.
"Epidcnics OF laHrenzn have visited
this country since iG47. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epl1cmc
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous cpldemlcs 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
illzed world. Three years later there
was another hare-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 IL 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 fact that the Germans
mention the disease ns occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can spanish Influenza" be REQ
ognlxcd7
There Is rs yet no certain way In
which n single case of Spanish innu.
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition Is easy where
there Is group of cases. In contrast
10 the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur In the
cold months, epldemics of influenza
may occur ut any senson Of the year
Thus the present epidemic rnged most
h''hoe's h L"opo III huys Junc uUu
July. Moreover, In the case Of ordl
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset ms they are In Influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community 30 rapidly OF
30 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 vomlt. Most Of the pa.
tients complain OF feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever In which the
temperature rises TO 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative.

ARMY BAND
INITIAL CONCERT

The initial concert of Toledo's
Army, Band of the 4th PROV. Reg.
was given Sunday night at The
Army "Y" Hut. 1t surely was
great success, and speaks great
credit to its Leader, as well as OF
the, talent that makes up this
fine organization. Band music
will have a large share in the
musical festivals Of the district
for the future no doubt, let us
hope so. 81 ;
Saturday night at the "Y" a
local vaudeville sketch was
pulled off. Some very fine solos
We're given by a former Grand
Opera Star Private Apollo, ana
"a highly spiced Patriotic talk by
Chaplain Ross. Pivates Macy
and Froom, two Of the very pop
ular fellows, and extremely fine
.soloists, add to nearly every
sgood program at the "Y".
The Toledo Army Y, M. C. A.
is doing a fine job in an educa-
,tional, social and religious way,
and Secty. Fletcher says that he
iexpects athletic equipment with

Twill start in for earnest. Boxing

wrestling will add greatly to the
interest this winter among the
men.
The work among the camps
about the district has been ham,
tpered this past week on account
of the Influenza ruling, although
a limited amount is being ac-
icomplished each day. Generally

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test a man Is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation of his water. This is most essen
tial because the kidneys play a most i'm
portant part In causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo. N. Y, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals.
This An-u-ric is late discovery of DR..

can be obtained at almost any drug store
for so cents. For that backache, lumbago
