Irogen, it is claimed, is a discovery

Notable Sermon.

"Tae children'of Israel stripped them
selves Of their ornaments from Mt.
Horeb onward" quoted Rev. DIR. g. A.
HILBERT in Fourth Liberty Loan SER
mon last Sunday at Kingshighway
Presbyterian Church, st. Louis. The
text was from Exodus 1876.
THE children Of Israel faced the
challenge OF the crisis and prepared to
meet it. This is the day when in the
church, as well as in state, 'orna-
ments must be laid aside, Secondary
things must take secondary places.
THE state is fighting to make the
world safe for democracy. The
chursh's business is to make democ-
racy safe for the world, It is the only
organization which can do that thing.
No other agency has it In its power to
bring this about.
"A man, to be safe in democracy,
must have motives which are always
prompted by the right Whoever has
not these is dangerous citizen for
democracy.
THE church's business is to save
men from sin, but that is not all.
Quite as much 1t is the business of the
church to save them to righteousness
and righteousness is active, not pas
sive.
We may sit and sing our souls
away but we can never sit and sing
thers away to everlasting bliss. Today
the church is at Mt. Horeb. Her chal.
lenge is unnistakable She alone has
the equipment. She has always be-
lieved in preparedness for her con-
quests. She must assume the often
sive, and no longer doubt her right to
lead the world in moral and spiritual
ideals"
DR.. Hubert made a plea for the
church to master the worlds Of educa-
ton, Christian culture as against mere
culture, politics in that unselfish serv.
ice shall be the mark Of worthiness of
leaders, industry that life may be con-
served, the play, the home and the
Sums.
Right now, in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign, the church Is at Ho-
reb, the speaker said, and she must
assume the task. She must strip her
self for action and let the world know
for what she stands.
II the church does not rally to the
standard Of the government in this
war-and therefore to the standard of
the Christ-then 1t will never be done
and the battle for righteousness must
be fought over again in the future.

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and feeling of Sc
we're sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics Of inAuen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from, Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1899 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
Although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can Spanish influenza" be rec
ognized2
"There is as yet no certain way IN
which a single case of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition Is easy where
there is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depresslon) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final.
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
I'm most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. he feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some yomlt. Most OF the pa
tents complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
I'm appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
Of cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.

Sometimes Hazel caught herself
wondering IL they were getting as
much out of the holiday as they should
have gotten, rs they had planned TO :
get when they were struggling through /,
that interminable winter. She was.
But not Bill. If she ventured to give
q tea. he fed the house as If from the
plague. He made acquaintances OF his
own, men from God only knew where,
individuals who occasionally filled the
dainty apartment with malodorous to-;
bacco fumes, and who would cheer
fully sit up all night Giscoursing ear
nestly on any subject under the sun.
But so long as Bill found Granville
habitable she did not mind.
She wished fervently that Bill would
take up some business that would keep
him in touch with civilization. He had
the capital, she considered, and there
was no question of his ability. Her,
faith in his power to encompass what
ever he set about was strong. Other
men, less gifted, had acquired wealth,
power, even q measure of fame, from
a less suspicious beginning. Why not
he?
But she could never quite bring her
self to put it in so many words to Bill.
| The cycle of weeks brought them to
] January They had dropped into some
/ thing of O. routine in their daily lives.
Bits interest and participation In So
cial affairs became negligible. When
he was not absorbed in a book or
magazine, he spent his time in some
downtown haunt, having acquired
membership In a club as a concession
to their manner of life. Once he came
home with flushed face and overnight
eyes, radiatfng an odor of whisky.
Hazel had never seen him drink to ex-
cess. She was correspondingly
shocked, and took no pains to hide her
feelings. But Bill was blandly undis-
turbed.
"You don't need to look so horri-
fed" he drawled. "Tm going straight
to bed, little person. Scold not, nor
fret. William will be himself again
ere vet the morrow's sun shall clear
the horizon. Let us avoid recrimina
ton. Good night"
A week or so later he became sud
denly and Unexpectedly active. de
left the house as soon as his break
fast was eaten, and he did not come
home to luncheon-a circumstance
which irritated Hazel, since 1T was one
of those rare days when she hersel
lunched at home. Late in the after

did return, at nine or Whereabouts II

lilly. There's Kitty Brooks-she has
certainly got intelligence above the av-
erage. That Lorimer girl has brains
superimposed on her artistic tempera-
ment, and she uses 'em to advantage.
Practically all the rest that I've met

there isn't a real man in the lot. May
be I'll run across some people who
don't take a two-by-four view of life

it hasn't happened to me yet. 1 must
say that the habitual conversation of
these people gives me pain. That
platitudinous discussion of the play to-
night, for instance"
"That was droll." Hazel chuckled at
the recollection, and she recalled the
weary look that had once or twice
fitted over Bills face during that
after-theater supper.
Bill snorted.
"Droll. Perhaps" he said. "Bla-
tant ignorance, coupled with desire
to appear the possessor of culture, is
sometimes amusing. But as general
thing it simply irritates."

He shrugged his shoulders and re-
