SPANISH INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY
THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives
Thar American Loss In Battle.
Danger Not Over. Great Care
Necessary To Prevent
Further Outbreak.

The appsufng ravages OF Spanish
Influenza in this country are perhaps
best realized by the statement re-
Gently made that more deaths have
resulted in little more than a month
from this disease than through our
whole eighteen months participation
IN the European War
Our greatest danger now, declare
authorities. Is the great American
tendency to forget easily and to be-
lieve the peril is over. Competent
authorities claim the coming Of cold
weather is very apt to bring a return
Of this disease and there should be no
let-up throughout the winter months
Of the following easily observed pre-
cautions, remembering that Influenza
Is far easier to prevent than cure
Influenza is a crowd disease Avoid
crowds as much as possible Influenza
germs spread when ignorant or care
less persons sneeze or cough withous
using q handkerchief. Cover up each
cough or sneeze. Do not spit on the
floor. sidewalk in street cars or pub
lie places. Avoid the use OF common
drinking cups and roller towels in
public places Breathe some reliable
germicidal and antiseptic air to de-
stroy the germs that do find lodge
ment in your nose and throat
Remember. no safer precaution
against Influenza could be employed
in this manner than to get from the
nearest drug store a complete Hyomei
Outfit consisting Of a bottle Of the
Pure oil Of Hyomei and s little vest
pocket hard rubber inhaling device,
into which a few drops OF the oil are
poured. You should carry this Inhaler
about with you during the day and
each half hour or so put II in your
mouth and draw deep breaths Of its
pure, healing germ killing air into
the passages OF your nose. throat and
lungs
BY destroying germs before they
actually begin work in your blood.
you may make yourself practically
immune TO Infection.
All these suggestions about Spanish
Influenza are equally true in the pre-
vention Of colds. catarrh OF nose and
throat, bronchitis and even pneumo-
MIA Don't become careless. Do your
part. Keep the germs away. You
may save yourself a serious Illness
and the loss Of several weeks work.

Former Cincinnati Society Favorite

Paris.-Mraculous escape from seri-
Gus injury and probable death was ex-
perienced recently by Miss Evelyn
Hooker, former society girl Of Cincin-
natl, now field worker for the Amer
lean Fund for French Wounded.
Miss Hooker, who was operating a
canteen In the Chateau-Thlerry sector,
was forced to abandon her post when
the Germans first advanced. She
walked several miles to the nearest
town where Americans were blleted.
There she volunteered to drive an
ambulance along road swept with
shells. Shells whstled and broke all
about the road, but she was not In
jured. A report Of her exploit was
made to the Paris headquarters Of the
organization by an army officer, who
heartily commended her for her BRAY

Three other members of the or
ganizntion also have been commended
for their work in caring for refugees
and soldiers while under shell fire.
They are Miss Sarah Granger Farwell
and her sister Miss Helen Farwell of
Lake Forest, Chicago, and Mrs. Morti-

GERMANS BURY DEAD
WITHOUT CLOTHING
Permit Only Paper to Be
Wrapped About Bodies to
Be Inferred.

The Germans are expected to strip
their dead before they bury them.
Bodies are to be placed into the coffins
without stitch Of clothing. They
may be wrapped in paper, however.
This is the only concession made to
the relatives Of the dead, whose feel
ings are hurt by the order.
Clothing is very scarce In Germany.
Every scrap counts. The government
has no use for sentimentalists who
would squander garments on the dead
while the living are without clothes.
The rules and regulations regarding
burials are not observed strictly
enough by the population of Munich,
says the Neueste Nachrichten. Ac-
cording to report published by the
mayors office there were 936 men
buried In Prince Albert coats and 1900
men buried in sack coats during the
year, while 1876 women were buried in
silk and 2,132 in woolen dresses.
In Munich the custom of hiring
women who attend to washing and
dressing the dead Is in vogue. These
women, the official attendants of the
dead, have been ordered by the mayor
to refus, their services wherever they
are asked to put into the coffin a
corpse clothed in anything but paper.
These professional women are held re-
sponsible for the execution Of the
edict.
In order to facilitate matters 1t has
been proposed to inaugurate a new
activity on the part of the state. All
the clothing worn by and left by per-
son deceased Is to be turned over to
the authorities, who will furnish a
paper costume for the body. Thus no
more of these precious textile mate
rials are to be buried with the dead.

Far up near the front, where one
never sees woman, child nor

to come suddenly on party Of youths
arrayed in high hats, frock coats,
checked trousers and patent leather

They are American soldiers, billeted

Some of them even don women's
clothing, picture hats, feather bOas,
silk bouses and skirts, and I have
even seen them wearing blonde wigs
which they raked up somewhere amid
the wreckage of Villas on the Marne.
The boys 60 about various duties,
cleaning horses, driving ammunition

and doing the thOusand-and-one -sther
odd jobs that fall to their lot in their
ludicrous makeup.

California Women on Farms
Successfully Execute Work
Formerly Left to Their Men

Four hundred and sixty-fve farm
erettes" were sent out from the south
ern California branch Of the woman's
land service at Los Angeles from May
l to July II, last, to aid California
ranchers in their efforts to increase the
country's food supply. Nearly all Of
these have remained In the service,
and as proof that these young women
are capably filling the places of men
called into the army or other activities
connected with the war, it was pointed
out at the headquarters Of the service
that many of their requests for help
came from ranches near those to which
units had previously been sent.
Volunteers in the womans land army
sent out from Los Angeles incl le
teachers, stenographers, saleswomen,
Mattresses and school girls. Most Of
them have been employed in gathering
and preparing for market deciduous
fruits. Activities of others have in
cluded driving tractors, dairying, plant
ing tomatoes, harvesting various crops
and making hay.
The dairy industry has taken large
dairies near Los Angeles, women hav-
ing largely replaced men as mixers.
OF the first units sent to the dairies
