AMERICANS NOW
MOST EFFICIENT
IN FIGHTING GAME
By PRANK J. TARPoE

WITH THE AMERICAN FIRST
ARMY. Oct 5.-The American attacks
in the Argonne and Champagne regions
are being conducted in a business like
manner with an utter absence of boast
fulness or excitement, that is exciting
the admiration of the veteran poilus
working with them.
officers and men regard the push now
as simply a big war business and their
duty is carried out quietly and eff
GENTLY, which contrasts pointedly with
the comparative inexperience of earlier
operations.
The tanks played an important part

The ruse failed 10 work owing to the
perfect organization or the American

your hair will take on that life, lustre

BOARD OF HEALTH

The epidemic of Spanish influenza

Friday by the state board of health.
A description of symptoms and meth

accompanied by weakness, dizziness and pains in
various parts of the body. Fever usually de-
velops the temperature rising to 103-104 degrees.
Sore throat is likewise experienced and some
times bronchitis and bronchO-pneumonia.
THE disease is caused by the influenza ba-
cillus, a germ which has caused similar wide
spread epidemics in past years. This germ is
found in the secretions of the nose, mouth and
lungs. Close contact with patients and their
eating utensils, cups hapdkerchiefs, towels, etc.
is almost sure to result in contraction of influ-

the germs. Crowded rooms. public assemblages
and cars should be avoided as much as possf-

live long outside of the body.
Treatment should consist of rest in bed. es-
pecially during fever, warmth, fresh air, abund-
ant wholesome food, and medicine for the relief
of pain and fever under the care of a physician
whenever possible.
During the disease handkerchiefs and linen
contaminated by the patient should be disinfect-
ed by boiling in water or soaking in a disinfec-
tant solution, such as per cent carbolie acid
or chloride of lime solution. TO dsinfect rooms

of Philadelphia, who was sentenced
to five years at hard labor for refus-
ing to be operated upon, has expert
enced a change of heart and has now
submitted to the operation at the
base hospital. He is on the road to
recovery.
Lazin declined to give his consent
because he had made a vow to his
mother before the altar of a Catholic
church never to undergo an op-
GRAFTON because the mother had lost
two daughters after operations.
Lazin's was a case of hernia and in
volved practically no risk.
Scores of such operations have
been performed here, and only a few
men have objected. Directors have
in every case been court-martialed
after every effort was made to con-
vince them that no great risk was
involved and that the operation was
necessary to enable them to perform
their military duties.
Priests here in the camp said that
Lain was not sustained by them in
his stand and that he might be re-
leased from his vow in view of the
fact that it stood in his way in serv-
ing his country.

3OO-Pound Ocean Sunfish Is
Caught by Two
Fishermen

New York. - Mola Mola is resting
comfortably in her big tank in the
New York Aquarium after a tedious
journey from Sheepshead Bay to the
Battery. She is the first of her kind
that has visited the cool waters of the
north for some time and Sunday af-
ternoon while scouting around the
larders of the ocean she was hooked
by Fishermen Eddie Ehrlein and Carl
Wagner and dragged reluctantly to
shore.
Mola Mola is a strange looking
beast, shaped like q colossal polly
wog, ilattened out vertically. She has
dainty little mouth from which heI
tongue protrudes when she sighs. She
has the figure of a pancake. about
four feet in diameter, and eyes that
look at one with almost human intel
ligence. When Eddie and Carl finally
got good look at her they both
silently took the pledge. with only
the. stars as witnesses and heaven a

Then to make sure that 1t WASH

bringing up. And she was jounced
over the highroad from Sheepshead
Bay to the Battery.
When the sun got high the truck
driver and his gang covered her up
with tarpaulin. When they came
to q thank you marin" in the road
they slowed down in order that Mola
shouldn't be too severely jounced. But
for all these kindnesses she was too
weak to thank them except with a
grateful look in her watery eyes.
