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 inf1uen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidcmics 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 flare-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 a single case Of Spanish influ-
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, depresslon) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are In influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. 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 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
'In appearance one is struck by the
! fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
| there may be some cough. These signs
| of a cold may not be marked never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick

Find Markets for
Canned Goods
By the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Housewives and members of can
ming clubs are urged to study their
market at the beginning of the season
and pack according to the local de-
mands for different products. They
are advised by the bureau of markets
of the department to secure orders for
canned goods before putting them up.
Small lots of nonstandardized prod
ucts are difficult to sell except among
.focal buyers and are not purchased by
the army, navy, commercial dealers
or any department of the government.
Many appeals to the department of
agriculture to find a market for home
canned goods have been made during
the past year and often the Gamers
believed that the government was in
the market for such goods. Subject
to whatever regulations may be made
by the federal government, the mar
keting of food products will proceed
in the usual manner and the bureau of
markets points out that proper grad
ing, standardizing and careful prepa-
ration for market are especially nee
essary in handling canned goods.
Home-canned products can be kept
over from one season to the next and
those who have not sold their goods
| lave reserves to draw from for their
home table. 1t is good policy, say the
specialists, for the housewife to pro-
vide a reasonable surplus beyond the
probable home consumption for the
next crop year.

Thomas in Harper's Magazine.
When he landed in England in June,
1916, one of the British newspapers,
whose correspondent had been for a
long while in his presence, compared
him with Moltke, who was "sflent In
seventeen languages" What General
Pershing, the master of several Philip
pine dialects, said was little and good.
When General Joffre shook his hand In
Paris a few weeks later-a scene Wor-

immigration Promises to
Set New Record-SmaIIest
Since the Colonial Days

When the present fiscal year ends,
June 80, it is highly probable that q
new immigration record will be SET
the smallest since colonial days, says
the Washington Herald.
Immigration statistics Of the arst
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-year ending January 1,
1918, only 57,715 came to America, and
since then the monthly totals have
dwindled to q few thousands.
The war, of course, is responsible
The real dwindling began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number OF
immigrants. That is Japan, which
country now leads all nations in send
ing immigrants to America. japanese
immigration this year will reach 1900
as against 1925 in 1917, Sill in 1915
and 5000 in 1915.

that Homer found ready prepared for

WHAT HE REALLY WANTED
Deep, Dark Cesgn That Was Behind
Mans Encouragement Of His
Companions Singing.

Two men were seated at table In
a saloon, one of them annoying the
other customers by his maudlin at
tempts to- sing something that had a
strong German air although the words
were apparently English. The pro-
prictor approached.
"Cut out that singing in here he
demonstrated. This amt no anna
teur night for cabafets."
The singer subsidized and took an
other drink. but his companion urged
him to continue, expressing great adj
miratioh for the air.
"What do you mind the likes of
him for?" he asked. Sure, it's a fine
song. Go ahead with it,
The resumption Of the disjointed
notes brought the proprietor to the
table again.
"See here, YOU" he began, with a
rap Of his knuckles on the table, "cut
that singing right now, or I'll have you
thrown out"
Standing not far off to be sure that
the selection was not continued the
proprietor overheard the second man
urging the singer to go ahead and after
another drink the song was resumed
Stepping up to the table with fire in
his eye the boss addressed himself tc
the second man.
why do you keep asking him tc
slng?" he demanded. 'If you are
so stuck on his singing take him some
where else and listen to it all yor
like"

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took a seat beside
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was arnless, and on
his left cheek he bore q scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August,
1914 he fastened to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
it's crop ready for harvest, q full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
of horses, and a wife. H'he wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again in 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
soma contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm
paid off, a considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he proud man!
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women Of Canada have done nObly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba.
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
splendid herd of shorthOrns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $500. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss R. M. Hillman Of Keller, Sas-
katchewan, is another successful!
woman farmer. She has gone In ex'
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some OF
the finest Percheron horses in Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still DEM
onstrating, that versatile woman
may be just as good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities of running a farm, y
have been decided factors in making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm &C
counts. reducing the grocer's bills by
their management of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers In
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.

Ready to Meet "the" Girl.

Here's q young man who believes ID
the efficiency of preparedness.
With his young wife he appeared re-
Gently before Frank N. Kenney, chief
clerk to Local Board No. at Cen
trail armory. Cleveland. o.
"When did you buy the ring?' Mr..
Kehney asked.
There was some discrepancy be-
tween the answers of the bride and
the bridegroom and the clerk pressed
for an explanation.
"Well, I'll tell you the TRUTH" the
man replied. "Some years ago l
bought a watch on the installment
plan and when it was paid for
thought the idea was a pretty good
one. l figured to myself that some
day I might want to get married, and
thought it wouldn't be 4 bad idea TO
get the ring on the same plan"
you mean you got the ring and
kept it in your pocket until the right
girl happened along?" Mr.. kenney in
quired.
That's just it, mister" the youth
replied. unabashed. 'This is the right
girl, and we've just got married.

Little Baby Phenomenon.

A two-year-old baby girl holds the
worlds record in mental development.
The infant prodigy is Martha
Springer, twenty-six months old,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John E.
Springer of Mountain View, Cal.
The child can read like an eight
year-old. The father says the child
has a normal mind which simply has
been developed by persistent training.
At recent meeting of college pro-
fessors and experts in pedagogy and
psychology the child for forty minutes
read. counted and told the time by
the clock and talked with the men who
were observing her. Her baby brain
did not sag and she appeared to enjoy
the long interview.
The child reads and speaks with a
vocabulary of about two thousand
words. She is large for her age and
eats and sleeps well.
