EITHER VICIOUS OR FOOLISH.

Innumerable wild and unfounded
stories are being told to those who will
listen to them of conditions in the
camps where the influenza is raging.
The authorities, military and civil
should Immediately take cognizance OF
such gossip and in every way possible
suppress it.
1t is a renewal of the idle and ma
licious gossip that assailed the Red
Cross and for retailing which one state
officer Of Wisconsin was sent to prison
for term Of years.
There may be, and doubtless are. in
stances in military hospitals where
criticism is indicated. So are such in
stances to be noted in public and pri-
vate hospitals. However, we may as
sure ourselves that in our military
hospitals both nurses and doctors are
doing all that men and women can do
for the men under their charge. Those
men and women take themselves and
their task seriously or they would not
be there.
Camp gossip and civilian gossip are
Of a kind. Wild stories run thru
camps. We have recently had an il
Iustration in the outrageous lies told
by irresponsible men from stage in
this city and which they denied in toto
when taxed with mendacity. Without
doubt the men were suffering from
shell shock and mental incapacity and
are to be pitied as much as blamed for
the wild tales they repeated but thai
is no good reason for normal persons
bedding untruths and dangerous 60

the PROPHECY or TINE SHOW WINDOW.

The Marshalltown merchant who
conceived the idea of making soldier
picture gallery out Of his wide store
front advertised much more than his
business. AS an attraction the collec-
ton draws crowds OF interested people;
but 1t does something more and much
finer II proclaims to all who see and
study 1t the character and quality oil
the boys who have so suddenly become
men.
That collection of pictures is cross
section out of the finest manhood oil
the world. That eminent truth
stands out clearly. 1t IL composite
photograph Of American democracy at
its best and in action. 1t publishes the
idealism and purposefulness OF the
future OF this country. II is the. sure
promise and pledge of this land TO
maintain undimmed the principles
upon which this nation was founded.
These are magnificent men; and
they were careless and thoughtless
boys yesterday. But they are men to-
day. It is the renewal of that hish
Americanism that was born at Ply
mouth and at jamestown and reached
its majority at Appomattox. 1t is the
republics signal of safety.
How suddenly they changed from
laughing children to stern citizens
charged with the ultimate RESPONSE
bility of citizenship. Bryan's figure OF
speech lacked only a few weeks of being
fact for million boys left their play
and their prospects and became men
as they gathered about the colors as
in a single night. They went to sleep
laughing lads and arose to the finality
of complete citizenship.
The letters that come home from
them tell the same story as their
pictures. Writing to brothers and
sisters these youths inculcate their
onw ideals nor only as soldiers and
citizens. They have taken hlsh
ground as to the responsibilities of the
citizen at peace as we'll as to the
duties and responsibilities Of soldiers.
We have lost our boys but we have
gained men. And the republic is re-
born to high purpose.
1t was all there. They had it IN
them. The emergency has simply
burned away the dross and the nom
essentials from them and left the real
men beneath displayed Emergency
has strengthened their characters as
emergencies and the imposition OF
great responsibilities do strengthen
character. The astonishing and even
amazing thing is that all should have
stood the test and have come out Of II
to the completion OF such splendid
citizenship. Barrett Browning wrote
long ago that "all men are possible
heroes" If she was to write it now and
in America she would say all American
youth is heroic.
That show window is worth days OF
study. 1t Is a course in the school OF
American citizenship, the prophec!
of a greater America.

As to Grip Epidemies.

There have been seven other wide
spread epidenics Of influenza In the
United States and the effect has been
comparatively the same in each in
stance and has been attended by the
same panicky feeling on the part of
the public" said Capt. Howard j. Cole,
L. S. A.. at the Raleigh last night.
Captain Cole has made study of pests
and plaques. THE first was in 1862
and the others were in 1852. 1887. 1903.
1888. 1887 and in 1S47. These cpl
denies seem to have originated IN Asia
and travelled westward thru Europe
and on to the United States.
Scientific inquiry to ascertain the
cause of this remarkable ailment has
been conducted almost unceasingiy for
more than 100 years and many theories
have been advanced. BY some II has
been held to depend upon some telluric
and climatic conditions. but the occur
rences of the disease ravaEes down
thru the century in all sorts Of climate
negatives this theory.
Back in the seventh century the
to the influenza Of the stars, and hence
the name Influenza by which 1t has
subsequently been known.
1.-THE best authorities show that dur
ing all the epidemics the disease as
serted itself in the same manner-sud-
denly with all the characteristics of a
severe cold. At first there are chills
and rigors, then distressing headaches
and tightness across the forehead. wat
ering eyes, sneezing, coughing and a
disturbance of the digestive system.
Never before in the history Of the
epidemic has the death toll been SO
heavy. but now the congestion is
greater in the cities."-Washingt

And no sooner had Uncle Lucky said
these few words than three little

you back to my little white house, and
YOU can live in the kitchen in the
woodbox all winter long and when
spring comes you can hop out to the
lawn and dance on the grass"
Well, 1t didn't take those thre ehiv-
orlng little srasshoppers long to jump
into the Uuckymobile. and pretty soon
Uncle Lucky turned into the front
gate Of his little yard and as soon as
he had put the Luckymobile away in
the garage he took the three little
grasshoppers into the kitchen and told
them TO sit down by the stove and
get warm. And then he poked the fire
and put the kettle on to boil, and after
that he set the table while Billy Bunny

Home Demonstration
News Of Marion

The Women's County Council of
Marion county which is being organ
lied by Miss Parker, Home Demonstra-
tion Agent, will hold its first meeting
February second, at 10 a. M, in the
Commercial Club rooms.
Letters were sent to the various
organizations throughout the county
asking that they appoint, or elect a
representative to this council. Up to
date some twenty-five communities
have responded. The women are mani
testing great deal of interest in the
home demonstration work, and several
projects will be presented for discus
sion Saturday. One that will receive
the greatest emphasis VIII be conserva-
tion with its sub-heads, food, clothing,
and health. These sub-heads in turn
will be divided and sub-divided into
their various phases.
The plan is to have the program for
the county so general that community
might choose anyone of the several
projects and will find it applicable to
their immediate needs.
