Expect Extension Soon.

With the increasing evidence OF an
extension soon OF the draft ages in
both directions by congress in the
near future a strong appeal is being
made to men between the probable
draft ages by the recruiting offices.
When the bill passes extending the
draft ages recruiting atlices will ex-
perience a rush equal if not greater
:han that of last December. and Capt
Mitchell, OF the central Illinois dis
trict, is of the opinion that many men
who wait until the last minute will lie
unable to enlist in the branch they de.
sire ii they are permitted to enlist at
all.
Should the draft age be extended to
45 years ii is probable that the regu'
lar recruiting stations Will be closed.

The Langdon city board of heal tn
requests the people of Langdon to
help them prevent an epidemic of in.
auenza in this locality, by the using
of the fol lowing precautions:
Cover up the sneeze and cough
with a handkerchief, as the main
travel of infection is by the infe cted
droplets of sputum.
Avoid overcrowding or public gath
erings aa much as possible
Obtain plenty of rest and fresh air
Anti septic solution to be used as
a gargle and nasal douche may be

head or back, and may be sore all
over. Many patients feel dizzy and
may vomit. Most of the patients
complain of being chilly, and with
this comes a fever, in which the, tenn.
perature rises to 100 to lO4.
The patient looks sick, the eyes are
bloodshot, there is a running of the
nose and sneezing and coughing. If
you are suspicious of any member of
your family or yourself report to
your physician, and if he verifes your
suspicion remain in your house and
use double precaution against infect.
ing others.
Towels. dishes and other articles
used by the patient should be kept
seperate+ from those of other raem.
bers of the family.
Patients should be kept isolated
for a period of one week, following
the decline of the fever.
1t is well for the nurse to wear a
gauze mask, over the face while at
tending the patient.
