Exchange.
1t is perfectly natural for people
to differ politically but it is absurdly
foolish for former friends aud neigh
bors to fall out about politics or
politicians. Your neIghbors, when
YOU need help. can and will come TO
your assistance aud If YOU never in
vour life need friend it is SO much
better to dwell together IN unlty
than otherwise If percnance, dur
ing the late Champaign, you did or
said anything calculated to ALLEVIATE
the friendship of a aeighbor, get
right with him L,fe is too short to
harbor i'll feeling and politicians are
too common TO fuss about.

THE NATIVITY PLAY IN POM
FRET
A Famous Community Pageant

The annual performance of the
Christmas Mystery Play that has be
come known throughout the country
will be given in Pomfret hall Sunday
evening, December the 22nd, at S O.
clock The whole countryside IS cor
daily invited to join with Pomfret in
this Community Celebration.
To the music of Maydn's lovely old
hymn, Holy Night" all those scenes
which clustered about the first Christ
mas are reenaeted, not so much with
the idea of pageantry as with the pur-
pose to recall and picture with SIM
plleity those events which are at the
heart of Christendom. The actors,
taking their parts from year to year.
do not appear to maintain a rols, but
to reliea historical happenings.
The Annuneiation, the Shepherds
Abiding in the Field. Keeping Watch
Ger Their Floeks. the Manager at
Bethlehem. the Visit of the SheD-
herds, the Alteration of the Magi, the
ANGEL Appearing to Joseph in
Dream-these are the scenes, revived,
year after year. They are felt and
enjoyd perhaps even more by the act
ors than by the audience. The play
behind the scenes has all the solemn
ty and fervor that the audience wit
nesses.
The Nativity Play in Pomfret is a
Christmas celebration never, If posi-
Bile, TO be set aside.

person TO person, the germ being car
ried with the air along with the very
small droplets of mucus, expelled by
coughing or sneezing, forceful talking
and the like by one who already has
the germs Of the disease. They may
also be carried about in the air in the
form of dust coming from dried mu-
Gus, from coughing and sneezing, or
from careless people who spit on the
floor and on the sidewalk. AS in most
other catching diseases, person who
has only a mild attack of the disease
himself may give a very severe at
tack to others.
What should be done by those who
catch the disease.
It is very important that every per-
son who becomes sick with influenza
should go home at once and go to
bed. This will help keep away dan
gerous complications and will, at the
same time, keep the patient from
scattering the disease far and wide
It is highly desirable that no one be
allowed to sleep in the same room with
the patient. In fact, no one but the
nurse should be allowed in the room.
IL there is cough and sputun CT
running Of the eyes and nose, care
should be taken that all such dis
charges are collected on bits of gauze
or rags or paper napkins and burned.
II the patient complains Of fever and
headache, he should be given watea'
to drink, cold compress to the fore
head, and light sponge. Only snch
medicine should be given as is pre-
scribed by the doctor. It Is foolish
to ask the druggist to prescribe and
may be dangerous to take the So
called "safe, sure and harmless"
remedies advertised by patent medi-
cine manufacturers.
II the patient is so situated that he
can be attended only by some one who
must also look after others in the
family, it is advisable that such at
tendant wear wrapper, apron, or
gown over the ordinary house clothes
while in the sick room and slip this
off when leaving to look after the
others.
Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing in danger
Gus disease germs by wearing SIM
pie fold of gauze or mask while near
the patient.
viii person who has had influenza
before catch the disease sgains
It is we'll known that an attack OF
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other attack of the same disease. THIS
appears not to he true of Spanish in
fluenza." According to newspaper Ie-

ports the King of Spain saffered an
attack Of influenza during the cpl
demic thirty years ago, and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak
in Spain.
How can one guard against Influenza
In guarding against disease of all
kinds, it is important that the body
be kept strong and able to fight OF
disease germs. This can be done by
having proper proportion Of work.
play, and rest by keeping the body
well clothed, and by eating sufficient,
wholesome and properly selected food
In connection with diet, it is well to
remember that milk is one of the best
all-around foods obtainable for adults
as well as children So far as dis
ease like influenza is concerned health
authorities everywhere recognize thL
very close relation between it's spread
and overcrowded homes. While it Is
not always possible, especially in
times like the present, to avoid such
: over-crowding, people should consid-
er the health danger and make every
effort to reduce home overcrowding
to minimum. The value 0: fresh
air through open windows can not ho
over emphasized.
Where crowding in unavoidable, as
in street cars, care should be taken
to keep the face so turned as not to
inhale directly the air breathed out
by another person.
| It is specially important to beware
Of the person who coughs or sneezes
without covering his mouth and nose
; It also follows that one should keep
/, out Of crowds and stuffy places as
much as possible, keep homes, Offices
and workshops well aired, spend some
time out of doors each day, walk to
| work if at all practicable-in short
make every effort to breathe as mucl
pure air as possible.
Cover up each cough and sneeze,
!! II you don't you'll spread disease. "

do not spread through the community

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-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in
the 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 eye
lids may be slightly 'fblood-shot," or
"congested,' 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;
nevertheless the patient looks and
feels very sick.
In addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described ex-
animation Of the patients blood may
aid the physician in recognizing
Spanish influenza" for it has been
found that in this disease the number
of white corpuscles shows little or nc
increase above the normal. It is pos.
sible that the laboratory investiga-
tions now being made through the
National Research Council and the
United States Hygienic Laboratory
will furnish more certain way in
which individual cases of this dis.
ease can be recognized.
What is the course of the diseased
Do people die Of itf
Ordinarily, the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient re-
covers, But while the proportion O.
deaths in the present epidemic has gen.
orally been low, in some places the
outbreak has been severe and deaths
have been numerous. When death oc-
| ours it is usually the result of a COM
plication.
What eauses the disease and how is Il
spread?
Psychologists who have studied
influenza epidemics in the past have
found in many of the cases a very
small rod-shaped germ called, after
its discoyerer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In
other cases of apparently the same
kind of disease there were found pne-
umonococci, the germs of lobar pneu-
monia. Still others have been caused
by streptococci, and by other germs
with long names.
No matter what particular kind u
germ causes the epidemic, it is now
believed that influenza is spread from

SPANISH INMUENZA.- aTHREE-
DAY FEVER~.sTHE FLU"

BY Rupert Blue, Surgeon General
What is Spanish Influenza? Is It
something new? Does it come from
Spain?
The disease now occurring in this
country and called Spanish Influen-
"a" resembles a very contagious kind
of "cold" accompanied by fever, pains
in the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body. and a feeling Of
severe sickness. In most of the cases
the symptoms disappear afer three or
four days, the patient then rapidly
recovering: some of the patients, how
ever, develop pneumonia, or inflam-
nation Of the ear, or meningitis, and
many of these complicated cases die.
Whether this so-cailed Spanish" in
flanza is identical with the epidemics
of earlier years is not yet known.
Epidemics OF. Influenza have visited
this country since ls47 It is inter-
esting to know that, this first epidem-
5c 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 over
the United States.
Although the present epidemic is
called Spanish influenza" there Is
no reason TO believe that It originated
in Spain. Some writers who have
studied the question believe that the
epidemic came from the Orient and
they can attention tol the fact that
The Germans mention the disease as
occurring along the eastern front Id

How can Spanish Influenza" be

ether hand, recognition is easy where
there is group of cases. In con-
