Guarding Against influenza.

The rapid extension around the world
OF the so-callsd Spanish IpfiuepzA, and the
rather high mortality rates which have
followed It's path 10 many places has led
the State Department Of Health 10 issue
. two page lesflet 90 "Guardipg Against
Influenza"
This leafiet teaches that ipfiuenxs, or
grippe as We often call II, 10 one Of those
diseases 10 which the infection 10 given
of in the secretions from the nose,
throat and air passages OF those who are
sick and that the infection Is transmitted
to other persons by the droplets spraye cd
into the air 10 coughing and sneezipg, by
things used IN common, such as cups,
spoons, forks, and towels. In schools
the disease may be spread rapidly by
books. pencils and drinking cups used In
common.
The persons who are endangered by
the infection are those who come In
pretty close contact or association with
Infectious persons, or enter rooms,
vehicles and other enclosed spaces To-
fectsd by them. There 10 no danger Of
infection In the open air, save 10 very
close contact with infectious persons.
PERSONAL SAFEGUARDS.
The advice given by the Department
for avoiding the infection 10 TO cut out
unnecessary visits 10 public places ard
unnecessary travel. Walk u you can do
30 instead Of taking q street car. Do not
visit persons who show the symptoms of
grippe or of q cold IL you can we'll avoid
doing SO; and do not give a cordial recep
ton 10 persons showing such symptoms
who unnecessarily obtrude their presence
upon you. Be particularly careful not TO
use drinking cups used by Others or
towels or anything else used in common.
RULES FOR THE SICK ONE AND THE SICK
ROOM.
The room should be well ventilated
and slightly warmed In cold weather. II
is safer for the sick one to take his bed
early, to call his physician and not TO
leave his room too soon, for there Is
much danger of serious complications,
such as broncho- pneumonia which fire.
quently ends fatally.
SecretiOns from the nose and throat
should be received on pieces of paper or
pieces OF cotton cloth and burned
promptly. Save as carefully as possible
clothing and other things about the
patient from being sOiled. There is
danger not only from the sputum and
nasal discharges, but contaminated ar
ticles, soon after drying, wbisk infectious
dust into the room when shaken or
moved too vigorously. Aside from the
dagger of aerial transmission for only q
few feet from the sick one and In the In
fictitious room, the infection NAV easily
be transmitted by the fingers. Careful
washing of the hands should not be
neglected after the attendant has con-
tsminated them by contact with the in
fictitious secretiOns from the patient or
the things used BY him.
GENERAL MEASURES.
While q general quarantine seems lm-
practicable, pupils with grippe or colds,
particularly when grippe in severe form
10 present, should be excluded from the
schools. The infection Of influenza 10
shortlived, 80 no disinfection, particular
ly no fumigation, 10 required, but there
should be thorough cleansing, and the
disinfection by boiling Of the things
which have been contaminated and can
thus be treated.

We Are Asleep.
We were warned over and over
again. But we were asleep. And we're
asleep now. We're facing the most tre-
mendous emergency that has ever con.
fronted us, the bald, cold fact that the
United States is not going to raise as
much food as we raised last year, that
we are not going to raise nearly
enough to supply ourselves and our
allies with food ---. and we're sound
asleep!. y ~
The lack of result, when the widely
advertised and justly popular Mother
Hubbard sought a bone for her dog,
is known to all readers Of Juvenile his
tory, and goes to prove that the lady
lacked foresight. She had a food
problem, and she didn't meet 1t.
Like true desce4dants OF Old Mother
Hubbard and Rip Van Wrinkle we
stand asleep at the switch, and ap-
parently we will never, start to fake
action until the cupboard is bare. Then
1t will be too late. MI
This year we have had sheatless
days and wheatless days and meatless
days. Next year we will have eatless
days, but nobody seems to be unduly
distressed.
If German army were landing on
Long Island our inertia would vanish.
We would stop discussing what's going
on in Russia, and worrying about
who's going to pitch for the Giants
we might even cut out the movies, or
the cabarets, for a night or two. We'd
drill and shout and work and very
likely fight and die. r. ...
The situation confronting us Is just
rs serious, though not as dramatic, as
if Hlndenburg were advancing on Bay
shore. Hunger Is just as deadly an
enemy as the Hun. H.

We Americans like to consider our
selves the most wide-awake people in
the world. Hustle is our middle name,
and we glory In it. When the word
American is mentioned, in connection
with a Job, or an emergency, we con-
jure up mental picture Of an alert
and determined individual. with the
fine frenzy of conflict flaming in his
eyes, rolling up his sleeves and doing
things. We revel In this conception Of
ourselves. 1t is very complimentary
and very comforting. There is one
slight flaw in the picture. 1t isn't true.
Naturally, when spectacular Op-
portunity arises, like the declaration
Of war last April, we do wake up and
do things. We buy bonds, and enlist,
and drill; we join defense leagues, and
knit, and make bandages, and all the
rest of it-feverishly, sincerely-tak-
ing great credit to ourselves, mean
while, for our unalloyed patriotism,
