The Polls.

1t was Chesterton who said that a
mind of every moderate caliber
should be capable of finding some
thing more interesting to do than
work. This may be true of work.
but it is certainly true of voting
It is generally when some real or
fancied grievance enrages us that we
want to rush to the polls, and these
spasms of wrath usually sieze us
when there is no election pending.
At other times we ask to be spared
the mental exhaustion entailed by
the study of internal and linternation-
al politics, of tariff and revenue pro-
.blems, of industrial and sumptuary
Legislation.
Yet whether we like 1t or not,
there is just now duty incumbent
ON all of us. Not only must we COM
pare one candidates platform with
another's. but we must investigate
the record of each, and make GER
tain that there is no mark upon II
which Classics him as danger 70
the nation in these days OF crisis
In all camps there are unworthy as
nirants-some of them insidiously
disloyal, and the fault will be ours
If through negligence and apathy we
allow enemies of democracy to take
mart In legislative councils.
Voting may be dull and tedious
function, but 1t is as much patriot
&c duty as shouldering rifie.

SAYS FLU" NOT
GERM DIESASE
The Epidemic Is Caused by Atmos-
pheric Conditions is the Theory
of DIR. G. Il. Spates of Des
MOines
CERTAIN AMOUNT PREVAILS
EVERY FALL AND WINTER
Says Not to Get Oyerheated and Per-
nit Yourself to Cool Quickly.
Avoid Drafts.

That the present epidemic OF
Spanish influenza is caused by un-
usual atmospheric conditions, eS-
pecially favorable to it's develop
ment, and not by a germ is the
theory advanced by DR.. c. B. Spatas
of Des Moines in the Register.
DR.. Spates devotes much of his
time to research work, and is some
what of an Independent thinker
along lines of medicine.
81 can produce all the symptoms
of Spanish Flu in a perfectly
healthy individual at any time, ;"
declared the doctor, "and / will not
use germ cultures for the purpose
either. / would only need to direct
him to perform some arduous form
of labor which would profuse per-
speration. Then | would ask him D
sit down in spot where he would
cool off rapidly. He would have a
bad case of influenza in no time, and
if permitted to go unchecked, It
would probably develop into pneu-
monia and end his life.
DIR. Spates says certain amour.
of influenza prevails every fail and
winter, identical with the disease
now sweeping the country. The
only features distinguishing the
present scourge are its new name,
it's wide spread, its more than or
binary malignant character, and
fact that it seems unusually inclined
to develop into pneumonia. All these
characteristics, except its name, he
attributes to peculiar atmospheric
conditions.
Speaking of the prevalence at the
environments, the doctor says the
conditions are more favorable for
it's breaking out than they are else
where.
"The boys are taken out and
given hard training. They come in
warm and perspiring from their
physical exertions. Most of them
cool off quickly. The surface of the
body cools while the interior re-
mains unusually warm. This leads
to congestion, and they are taken
with what would ordinarily be called
case of grip, but now is styled
Spanish influenza.
''Unless their systems have resist
ling powers they would probably he
taken with a cold under similar
circumstances in any season. The
present season, however, owing tc
the climatic conditions already re
ferred to, the cold assumes a more
severe form than usual and is more
liable to bring on pneumonia"
The precautions against takine
the disease suggested by DR.. Spates
are simple. There are certain nose
sprays that are valuable, he says
For the most part, however, he ad.
vises that the ordinary precautions
observed against colds will suffice to
keep off the "flue."
Don't get ovarheated and per-
NIT yourself to cool quickly. Avoid
drafts. Breathe fresh air. Ea.
sufficient amount of nourishing food
Keep your bodily functions up te
par"
In this way you can keep the dis
ease at bay. But don't let up on
your precautions If you want to
avoid being affected, he says.

FRENCH NOW REUSE SoILED
ABSORBENT COTTON

Through the ingenuity of French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that in the military hospitals of Paris
alone about 4,4OO pounds of absorbent
cotton was used daily, process has
been developed which makes it possible
to use soiled cotton a second time, ac-
cording to the February Popular Me
chanics magazine. The first step in
the treatment is the removal Of all
grease by boiling 10 or y hours in
soda solution, or by treating it under
pressure for three hours in a sealed
container filled with the same solu-
tion. After this the cotton is thor
oughly washed in a machine, and all
the molstare removed by placing it in
a high speed centrifugal drier. Drying
is followed by bleaching with hypo-
chlorite Of lime and second washing
And dying. Finally the purified pro
duct is carded, packed, and again ster
ilized.
