What is dangerous, however, is the neglect of l. le disease and, conse- uuentlN, anyone infected should, as soon aS symptoms appear, immediate ly go to bed and call a doctor. Re-
 sumption of work too soon after con- VillesccnCe is very dangerOs, because.
 thus the patient might suffer from re-
 lapse, heart failure or pneumonia. The disease is certainly dangerous for
 a patient suffering from tuberculosis of the lungs. The importance of rest in bed and of the delivering of the
 patient to the phySicians control
 while ill cannot be OVerestimated, The disease is prOpagated during an cpl demlc from person to person through contact with the secretion of the nose and throat of those ill with the disease or recovering. Hence, parti- Cular care should be exercised either to receive these sccretions or sputum into little strips of cloths, each of which should imm ediateIy be burned
 after use, or the patient should expec- toratc into per cent. carbolic acid.
 The patient should be strictly isO- lated from the healthy members of the household, but quarantine is not required The patient should never cough into the open air, because hy this means he sprays the air with in fected material; he should rather. cough into a cloth which should be burned after use. Coughing without the use of a handkerchief held to the mouth should not be tolerated at all in street cars, theaters, etc. During an epidemic individuals should avoid theaters, mass meetings, closed and crowded cars, etc, as much as pos sible and persons should also guard against exposure to cold or wet. It may be repeated that Influenza is one of those diseases the control of which rests with the public. The danger from the use of common drinking cups common towels. improperly washed glasses etc. should be emphas- sized; also, splitting in public places should be vigorously suppressed. If man is seen splitting in a public place his attention should be called to the fact that he may needlessly be exposing his fellows to infection.
 Symptoms of the Disease.
 The symptoms of the disease are characterized by chills, fever, head ache, general pain, malaise and loss of appetite. It is by no means certain | that the disease will assume epidemic pIOpOItlOllS III lulS country, put It IS | up to each one of us individually to l take all necessary precautions against l the disease. for the infection can be | passed on from person to person. If ] an epidemic were to occur in this l country at the present time the re- l sulting diminution of war activities would be deplorable.
 Prevention is always, and especially 1 in such cases as this, better than l cure. The purpose of this article is not to alarm the public, but to give them some information about the disease in case an epidemic might ap- pear, so that each one may cooperate | in it's prevention.

PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF!"

Why, Doctor! I should think you'd
be ashamed to have sickness in your
own family" This is a time hOnored
and supposedly clever remark to make
to a physician when one or more Of
his family are i'll. It is not funny to
any doctor, if for no other reason than
because it had become a stale joke be-
fore he left college.
''No, I'm not ashamed, but I'm sore,
sore all through" replied the doctor
with some heat. tits no discredit to
my own or my wife's intelligence that
our children have become the victims
Of some other parents ignorance, in
difference, and want Of cleanliness in
regard to disease. Our children know
more about how to protect themselves
against contagious diseases than most
'grown-ups,' but no child or grown
up either can be clever enough to
avoid being stabbed in the dark when
he is surrounded by enemies he had
no means of knowing as such.
Disease germs are comparable to
the most ingenious gases invented by
the Germans to kill their adversaries
without warning. One cannot see or
hear them, or tell whether a given
cough or sneeze is especially danger
Gus or relatively harmless. Children
cannot wear gas masks all the time
and their safety depends upon whether
or not victims Of contagious disease
are permitted to be about, splitting,
coughing, or sneezing their germs into
the faces of other people,
II would be ashamed to hear that
any child had been infected by my
children. Our family would feel as
disgraced in such an instance as a
white mans army would be to have
been guilty Of bombing raids on non
combatants, sinking Of hospital ships,
and sniping Red Cross nurses and
doctors. We are playing the game in
sportsmanlike manner by keeping our
children away from others. We are
living up to the rules Of civilization.
We are doing unto others as we should
like to be done by. We are victims,
I tell you, victims Of the barbarians
among us, who neither know nor care
whether disease is controlled or not :"

HERE IS THE REASON SOME MEN
ARE SO MARvELOUSLY ABLE.

Sid says in the May American Mag
azine:
"Charles P. Steinmetz, the hun
Observation-Disclosures consult
ing engineer of the General Electric
Company, tells us that men don't do
big things until they grow discomfort
ed. He quotes an old Turkish proverb
that the world belongs to the dis
satisfied. No truer word was ever
spoken
There is another fact that ought to
be brought out in this connection
The big differences between human
beings do not lie in ability and intel
ligence. People come near being
equal in brains than we imagine. The
really big variations lie in force and
ambition. One man achieves a thous-
and times as much as another-not
because he is a thousand times as
smart, but because he is a thousand
times more disconnected.
con no other theory can you explain
the sudden rise of the ordinary man.
Yet we see it all the time. Look
around your neighborhood and you
will find plenty of cases. The 'ordin-
airy man who begins to rise at I'M
precedented speed does so because
he suddenly gets a vision, develops a
desire, sees a goal. Having done
this, he begins to travel at a pace
which he has never shown before.
strange forces Civ men purpose
and jar them into action Love, pride,
sorrow, fear-all sorts of hidden feel
ings are responsible for the shaking
of men out of ruts and into fields of
undreamed-of achievement More
than one big success finds it's origin
in the personal disappointment of
some man-perhaps over college ed
ucation he couldn't get, or a toy he
couldn't afford, or a trip he was not
able to make. Of course some men
are 'downed' by such emotions, but
others are made by them
Most men have perfectly good boil

so many never get up steam and go
anywhere! They don't want to go
anywhere. They just stand still
waiting for a call from within to get
a move on The call is likely to come
any time. If your call is late in COM
ing, why not ring up your inner self
and ask him if he can't think of some
place he would like to go? It's a
shame to have all that expensive ma
chinery and not use it,

Seal Used on Our Paper Money.

A relic Of the revolutionary days
when we were not yet a nation still
remains on our paper money, says the
Popular Science Monthly. The seal
which appears on every bill issued by
the government contains the abbre-
Waited words 'Thesaur. Amer. Septent.
Sigil." The full phrase is "Thesauri
Americana Septentriomalis Sigillum,"
which simply means "Seal of the
Treasury Of North America" Our
distinguished ancestors felt that if a
thing were to be said with dignity, it
had to be said in Latin.

Soldiers Superstition.

Cavalrymen have a superstition Of
their own. A mounted man firmly be-
lieves that he will come through the
deadliest charge unscathed if he car

horse, the only condition being that
the horse itself has, at some time,
been through a charge unhurt.
