One of the most attractive booklets
issued recently is the year book put
out by Swift g. Company, covering the
activities Of the big packing concern
during the year 1917. Serving as an
Introduction is the address Of the vice
president, z. F. Swift, to the stock
holders, in which he tells of the abnor-
mally high prices paid for live stock
In Chicago and Of the prices obtained
for meat; of the investigation by the
federal trade commission, and the H.
censing by the government Of food dis
tributing agencies and the limiting of
profits on sIaughtering and meat pack
ing to 9 per cent on money employed.
Mr., Swift also told with pride of the
$500 employees who had entered the
various branches Of the United States
service, and concluded with the state
ment that Swift & Company would do
their utmost to help win the war.
An interesting and illuminatiye sec
ton Of the booklet is that devoted to
statistics of live stock prices and pro-
duction, and another is given up to
telling "the packers service to pro-
Queer and consumer" Figures are
given showing that the net profit of
the company per head, 1912 to 1916,
averaged S122 for cattle, less than 10
cents for sheep and less than SO cents
for hogs. 1t is explained that the large
aggregate profits are due to the Inn
mense volume of business done.
The booklet is handsomely illus
trated with photographs and color
prints and the cover illustration, made
from a photograph of a corn farm in
Ohio, is especially attractive.

THE RETURN OF TRIMMED MIL LIVERY.

Hats reached the limit of plainness
last fall after travelling in the dlrec-
ton of scant trimming for several sea-
sons. The first hats Of sprlng-those
prepared for sojourns at Southern re-
s0rts-ventured tentatively to present
few blossoms that fattened them
selves against crowns or nestled on
brims in the most retiring manner.
Ribbons and certain feathers were
used with more assurance but no one
predicted or seemed to foresee the
coming Of abundant trimmings and a
variety Of them.
AS happens in millinery, all at once
we woke up to the fact that there were
lot of flowers and fruits, feathers
and ribbons on hats that made their
appearance In February as the van
guard Of summer millinery. 1t is re-
ported that Paris sponsored this cheer
full mode as an expression of her
undaunted confidence In the satlsfac-
tory issue of the war and her courage
and fortitude In the face Of 1t.

pretty color combinations that are

The Red Cross hopes to accumulate
reserve supply of comfort kits for
the soldiers and sailors who will fol-
low those already somewhere In
France" or on the seas. Some sys-
tematic and devoted women are CIV
ing all their spare time to making
these comfort kits, receiving the ma
terials from the Red Cross chapters,
and doing the work at home. One
Chicago lady has turned in 500 Of

she has not great deal Of leisure,
and finds 1t best to specialize In kits

CALL FOR MORE CORN

Wheat excepted, corn is the
most valuable and indispensable
Of the worlds grain crops. 1t
holds commanding position in
the agriculture Of the United
States. Its vast acreage and
heavy yields are responsible to
no small extent for the success
Of agriculture. The department
Of agriculture, in its program is
sued early in February, which
re-emphasized and ampllfled the
food production program for
1918 published by the depart
ment in August, 1917, recon-
mended that an acreage Of corn
approximately equal to that Of
1917, which was the largest on
record, should be planted In
1918, with possibly slight reduc-
lions In certain sections to free
areas for spring wheat. In 1917
the acreage devoted to corn was
approximately 119,755,000 acres,
compared with 105,672, 900 acres,
the average for 1911-15, and
with 1070SS,0OO acres for 1912
and 106,197, 900 acres for 1915.

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-called 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 1647. 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 dare-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 fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
| the eastern. front in the summer and
| fall of 1917"
How can "spanish Influenza" be rec
ognized?
There is as yet no certain way in
which single case of Spanish intlu-
enza can be recognized. On the 9th
er hand, recognition is easy where
| there is group Of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
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, depression) are by nc
means as severe Or as sudden in theil
onset as they are in Influenza. Final
| ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly o,
so extensively as does Influenza
"In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sad
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all oyer. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly. and
with this comes a fever in which the
Temperature rises to 100 to 1O4 In
