SO that in the end they had to leave
him there, smiling and shaking his
head and thrusting his hands deep

long, deserted street, it seemed to
Adam as though he were watching all

Dawn was in full swing. Over the
housetops the sun was riding In glory,
flooding the still sleeping city as with
a cleansing bath. The streets, cleared
sparows were stirring noisily. There
was a newness, q sweetness about 1t

Of spring in the air. He drew 1t in in
great breaths, expelling the foulness
Of the dance-hall, the fumes clearing

"Spanish Influenza"
Some Facts About
1t And How To
Prevent Its Spread
RULES TO OBSERVE GIVEN BY
THE SURGEON GENERAL OF
THE u. S. ARMY.

Spanish" Influenza is a serious
matter, and something of mystery.
It probably originated in the ranks
of the German army and in prison
camps. It no doubt spread from
there southwark through Spain and
northward into Holland, France,
England and the Scandinavian coun-
tries. America was free from it un-
til August 18th, when a Norwegian
steamer arrived at an Atlantic Port,
\ having over 200 cases on the voyage.
Whether this marks the entry Of the
epidemic or not, the fact remains
that Spanish Influenza" is here and
is serious menace, much like the
familiar grippe that was epidemic in
1S89-90, only then it came from
Russia.
The disease is not alarming in it
self if proper precautions are taken,
but without cure, the high fever and
the likelihood Of pneumonia to fol-
low make it extremely dangerous.
The Surgeon General of the army
recently issued the following rules
by which the public may guard a.
sgainst the spread of this subtle dis
ease.
I. Avoid needless crowding-in-
; ;fluenza is q crowd disease.
2. Smother your cough and
sneezes-others do not want the
germs which you would throw away.
! 8. Your nose, not your mouth,
was made to breathe through-getI
the habit. .-.
| 4. Remember the three C's, clean
mouth, clean skin, clean clothes.
:. 5. Try to keep cool when you
walk and warm when you ride or
sleep.
as..6. Open the windows-always at
home at night, at the Office when
practical |
2. Your fate may be in your own
Aands-wash them before eating. Il
s. Don't let the yuaata nroduc+sl
.M indigestion accumulate in the
body. ...rs..
9. Don't use napkin, towel, !
spoon, fork, glass, cup or dish which
has been used by another person and
not washed. ~.
Mote especially rule No. 8, which
says keep the waste matter moving
from i the body. There is no better

"As You Were" Is one Of those
snappy productions that goes with
the pep that characterizes military
undertakings. The principals Of the
show are all artists who, prior to the
war, endeared themselves to thou

efforts the show is one that can take
its place with any production now
