Wartime Nerves.

AS the war progresses to its finish,
which will come some glad day, per-
haps even nearer than is now expect
ed, the strain upon those who await
its outcome with the most intense anx-
iety daily becomes more difficult to
stand. The tense situation encOur
ages the development Of a state OF
mind which is harassing, and one
which, If not checked, must ultimately
result in a more or less serious col
lapse after such lOng-continued pres
sure. Great restraint Of natural i'm
pulses toward Over-excitement con-
cerning the war is essential as well
to the individual as to the national
well-being. Americans must keep their
heads cool and their bodies strong in
order to do their full duty in this
great emergency. They must Fht give
way to feelings of despondency when
temporary discourasements to the ad-
vance of the cause occur, nor should
they become too sanguine Of immedi-
ate success when the news comes of a
decided advantage. The untroubled
and serene mind is to be sedul0uSly
cultivated in these stirring times.-

LANDMARK IN CITY or PENN
Many Philadelphia Citizens Would
Deeply Regret the Passing OF
Famous Old Alehouse.

Some Philadelphians of sentimental
and convivial turn are disposed to re-
gard the possible advent of prOhibi-
zion with gloomy mien, if for no other
reason than because it would mean
the passing of the Old Ale House. on
Drury street near Thirteenth
1t is not age that gives flavor to the
Old Ale House. The legend on the
rusty signboard which states that it
was established by Mary. MCCLELLAN in
1870 does not count for much in a
city where many taverns can trace a
direct lineage from the days of Penn.
1t is rather the garment Of tradition
with which the old taproom has c0v-
cred itself.
1t was there that this and that
heavyweight signed articles for an I'M
mortal bout. 1t was there that poll
ticians Matched celebrated deal
about which newspaper editorials are
still being written and public speeches
still being made. 1t was there that
many young genius found the inspi-
ration which changed him from a bO-
| hemian hack to successful author.
Over it all "Mother" MCCLELLAN pre-
sided with discipline at once gentle
and stern. The brawls were rare.
The Old Ale House is no less land
mark than a sight. The visitor is uSu-
ally taken there in the early after
noon, and while he sips the ale from
his mug the attentive guide recountS
the history, adding line or two from
personal "reminiscences. The Ale House
seems to fit all moods and to attract a
variety of minds. 1t is furnished in
mission wood after the fashion OF the
English inns of the eighteenth cen
fury, but that is as far as an attempt
at atmosphere has been made.

Fuel conservation must continue,

Administrator. The state has never
been called upon to observe many Of
the stringent fuel regulations en-
forced in Eastern states, on account
of being peculiarly well situated
with regard to fuel sources. But
waste is inexeusable, and by con-
servation methods of heating, not
only may fuel be saved for future
emergency, but money saved as well.

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 Hare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
"Although the present epidemic Is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that 1t originated in
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can "spanish Influenza" be rec
senized7
"There Is as yet no certain way in
which single case of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition is easy where
there is group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds. which usually occur In the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case of ordi-
nary colds. the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depresslon) are by NO
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset us they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly OF
30 extensively as does Influenza.
IN most cases person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains n 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 l04. 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 eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, OIL
there may be some cough. These sign,
Of cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels yer,
sick.

the symptoms as already described

MONKEYS IN ZOO DIE

children and many grown-ups by their
ladicrous antics for many years, were
found dead Saturday morning by the
zoo keeper, frozen to death in the pit
tie monkey house where they had
vainly tried to keep warm.
All of the animals from tropical
climates are suffering from the coal
shortage, although the zoo keeper is
exerting himself to the utmost to keep
them warm. A good deal Of wood
picked up from the woods in the park
has served to keep the fires going part
OF the time, but it is practically gone.
