The usual symptoms of infectious
disease include fever, chill. sore throat,

patton; and general feeling of being
sick all over. The presence of any
Of these symptoms indicates sickness
and during an epidemic should be
closely watched. In the case of So
called Spanish. influenza, the symp-
toms include feeling of weakness,
pains In the eyes, ears, head or back
and feeling of being sore all over.
The rise in temperature is rapid, but
in most cases the pulse remains COM
paratively slow. If you have ther-
mometer. and know how to use it, you
will find the temperature rises to 100
or 104 degrees. In the case of children
1t sometimes rises higher.
The mouth temperature of a healthy
person is between 9S degrees and 80.
This may vary according to the time
of the day. 1t is not unusual for the
mouth temperature of n healthy per-
son to be as low us 81 degrees in the
morning, or as high as 90 in the late
afternoon. The presence of fever Is
an Indication of sickness, and should
be watched.
The pulse rate of normal man at
rest Is about 70 beats n minute; that
of normal woman about so beats
minute. To take the pulse rate, place
three fingers (not the thumb) on the
thumb side of the patients wrist and
note the exact time by the second
hand of the watch.
Any unusual changes in the face
should be especially noted; whether 1t
is drawn, anxious, excited, dull and
tired. swollen or puffy under eyes. The
voice is frequent indication of weak
ness. Absence of appetite, loss of
weight, extreme nervousness should
also be watched, and. If taken in time,
may prevent more serious trouble.
Pain is n most important symptom
and should never be treated lightly. 1t
does not occur in persons who are
well. 1t is natures danger signal
A great many serious diseases begin
in this way, SO, IL someone in your
family has these symptoms, put him to
bed. shut out the bright light-this
does not mean that the room should be
dark-have plenty of fresh nir in the
room and keep away visitors and other
members of the family.
Persons are not always able to go
to bed for an ordinary cold, but there
is no doubt that they would, in the
end, save time by so doing.
Common colds sometimes spread
through an entire family, when they
could have been prevented by going
to bed, and keeping other members OF
the family away.
Common colds are most contagious
when they first start. One should
avoid being near n person who shows
signs of getting cold. by sneezing,
coughing or any discharge from the
nose. This will lessen the danger Of
contracting the more serious diseases
like grippe. influenza and pneumonia,
mild cases of which may. ut first, be
mistaken for an ordinary cold.
When possible, call doctor the mo-
ment the person begins to feel sick;
then follow his directions absolutely.

American troops In northern Russia
tried to observe an old-fashioned
American Thanksgiving today in box
cars, blockhouses. village billets and
birch bough shelters and around
campfires near the Bolshevik lines.
As much leisure as was permitted by
the exigencies Of the military stu
alton was granted the troops. Some
OF them at far away points along al
most impossible roads had only their
army rations but for the most part
special treats were sent along the
way in sleighs. Some of the men had
wild Turkey, like the Pilgrim Fathers
brought down by rifle bullets in the
wilderness game country for their
Thanksgiving meal. Unlike the
troops in France, as for them the
fighting Is not ended. All the forces
in this area had President Wilson's
Thanksgiving proclamation sent TO
them, together with a statement by
Dewitt c. Poole, Jr., counsellor Of the
embassy at Archangel, explaining the
probable necessity Of the Americans
remaining in Russia until the job was
finished and calling attention to the
Importance Of the task. The Russian

In the meantime the exploitation Of
the mines was kept in full swing.
Prisoners to the number Of $1,000
were put to work with hardly any
rest and under terrible discipline.
The output Of the mines war larger

Central Powers to hold out for four
years.
When the time for the final Allied
attack approached. the Germans con-
centrated 500 heavy guns and 1000
machine guns for the defence Of the

Allied troops rendered these pre-
cautions useless and the Teuton
