NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish Influenza, which appeared In
Spain in May, has all the appearances
Of grip, or Ia grippe, which has swept
over the world In numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic in 412
B. g., which is regarded by many to
have been Influenza Every century
has had its attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had Ave epidem-
les, the last In 1SS9-9O.
There is no occasion for panic infiu-
enza itself has very low percentage
of fatalities-nOt over one death out
OF every 400 cases, according to the
N. G. board Of health. The chief danger
lies In complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in a rundown
conditiOn-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as 1t is now called,
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 1O4,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining OF the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually hard cough,
especially bad at night; oftentiines a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances Of a severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to others-take
a purgative, eat plenty of nourlshing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinfne, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
ciflc for influenza-the disease must
run it's course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack If only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza SO weakens the bodily
resistance that there Is danger OF pneu-
nionia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes inflammation Of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons 1t Is very important that the
patient remain In bed until his strength
returns-stay In bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
If you are over 80 or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity Of the attack.

SMOKELESS DAY.

At meeting of the Women's Com
mittee of the County Council of De-
Tense held at the court house last
Saturday. it was decided to endorse
the movement started in Des Moines
to designate Thursday of each week
as smokeless day. The various town
ship chairmen will organize their re-
spective townships for this new and
very worthy movement. Small saw
ings banks will be provided and placed
in conspicuous places, and all men
who smoke are asked to place the
money they spend for smokes on
Thursday in the little banks, where
1T will be collected by the committees
and used for war relief work among
the Iowa boys in training al, home
and in France.
Mrs ]. A. Carver Of Des Moines is
the originator of the idea of the
smokeless day. The movement is re-
ceiving the hearty endorsement of
men in all walks of life and will be a
means of gathering in large sum for
war relief.
Mrs. H. A. Dittmer of this city has
been appointed as chairman of the
movement, and anyone desiring infor-
nation can procure same by writing
or phoning her.
