CHECK SPREAD OF INFLUENZA

Every possible precautionary meas
ure is being taken to prevent the
spread of influenza at the Cniver-
sity of Iowa. The slogan, "Handker-
chief that cough and sneeze," has
been adopted all over the campus
and Iowa City.
DR.. John II. Hamilton. state cpl
demiologst. in an interview on pre-
ventive measures declared that in
fluenza is the most readily COM
Glunicable disease known. In prev
ious epidemics about 20 per cent of
the total population of the country
has become infected Patients with
the disease should be isolated as
carefully as persons suffering with
diphtheria, he declares.
Precautionary measures suggested
by the state epidemiologists include
the following recommendations:
Avoid crowds or crowded places
whenever possible.
DO not place your hands in your
routh unless you know they are
clean.
Keep in the best possible physical
condition.
Eat plenty of wholesome. easily
digested food at regular intervals.
Drink plenty of water-at least
eight or ten glasses a day.
Take moderate outdoor exercise.
Sleep in we'll ventilated rooms.
sec that the bowels move regu-
larly.
Keep water pans on radiators in
furnace heated rooms so that the air
viii be moist.
There is not efficient serum or
antitoxin which will assist us in the
control of the disease" says DR..
Hamilton. we must rely entirely on
painstaking personal hygiene"
In regard to the organism causing
influenza, DR.. Hamilton stated that
il Is found only in the secretions of
the respiratory tract of patients suf-
fering from the disease or who have
recovered from il or who will soon
develop il. The germ material is
conveyed from one person to an
other largely by direct contact. but to
a certain extent by means of COM

COAL PROBLEM IN GERMANY

The coal problem in Germany will
be more serious than among any of
the other nations engaged in the
war. The American consul general
at Stockholm in his latest official re-
port says of the German supply:
How severe restrictions will be
made in the use of coal cannot be
decided yet, but it is expected that
only such industries as are more
or less engaged in war work will be
first supplied Civil industries will
get no coal and will have TO be
closed. Households also will prob
ably get none
The capture of the coal fields
about Lens is one of the severest
blows that has been dealt Germany,
and if the Americans advance in
their section much farther, the great
coal fields there will also be cap
tured 1t would be hardly possible
for Germany TO long continue the
war after these two coal fields have
been taken from her. The German
military authorities claim that they
have one coal field of 2,224 acres
the Frederick der Grosse-safe
from attacks and that they can get
supplies there. but the most that
field ever produced in one year was
100000 tons. The consul says
that miners cannot be found TO in
crease the output. The coal lies very
deep

SPANISH Flu" TODAY

Spanish flu" is. it seems after
all. just our old friends the enemy
back again in another form, and re-
calls the days of early boyhood-
or girlhood back in the late
eightys. when our mothers cornered
us and sat on us while we screamed
bloody murder and administered
quinine and great doses of castor oil
from a tablespoon, and creased us
with goose grease ii We lived in the
country and with turpentine and lard
ii we lived in town.
You simply were not in it" those
days If you didn't have the "influ

Ten years after the big "influ
enza" scare in 1888, the entire coun-
try woke up one morning to find
itself shaking with the "ague."
The symptoms were identical with
those of the "influenza" OF the dec
ade before and with the Spanish
influenza" of today
The entire country shook in uni
son. but in Missouri and Arkansas
and in certain mountainous regions
of the west, where conditions were
doubtless aggravated by practice
then universal and still prevalent TO
certain extent of wiping ones nose
on ones sleeves, the attack was par
ticularly violet and the malady was
commonly known as 'the shakes"
In 1908 the enemy advanced from
new quarter and decorated with
the high sounding French name of
ia grippe" gave the whole country
good scrap before he was routed,
Despite his new name. he showed
no change in disposition or methods
OF attack. and We again resorted to
the castor oil and the quinine and
the turpentine. Everybody in the
east had ''la grippe" but out here
most of US had Just plain 'griup."

FOOD.

The supply of sugar is very limited
as the remaining months have been
drawn upon for the summer supply.
No more sugar will be given out for
canning in more than ten pound lots
at one time and then only where the

and there is food liable to waste.
Sugar cards will be issued to each
individual family and will last one
year. Those wishing cards will call

ing at distance may call by tele-
phone, give name and address and

NOTICE TO PARENTS.

An effort is being made by the
High School Faculty to discourage
social events during the week by
High School students. We again
ask-your cooperation in this mat
ter. We are willing to assist stu
dents with these social events but
have felt that in the past too many
of them were held on school nights
thus interfering with study hours.
Already one group has refused to be
consulted with by us and held their
week night affair without our con-
sent and unchaperoned by their
class advisor or others of the teach
ers. Social affairs when thus held,
We. refuse to be in any way respon-
sible for. There will be some ex-
ceptions to the above plan. Some
times the event cannot be held at a
later day. Some times such events
will be held on special evenings in
honor of some special day. In these
matters the teachers will endeavor
to be fair and liberal, doing at all
times those things which they deem
to be for the best interests of the
school as a whole.
