"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. It 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 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
flized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up OF the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
" over the United States.
ALTHOUGH the present epidemic Is
called Spanish Influenza, there is no
reason to believe that 1t 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"

There Is as yet no certain way In
which single case Of Spanish influ-

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-

(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset as they are in influenza. Final

In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-

eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomft Most of the pa

with this comes fever In which the

WAR THIS WINTER

With the American Forces in
France, Oct. 16.-(Correspondent of
the Associated Press Marshal Foch
is the only man who knows just what
move he is planning for tomorrow OF
next week or next month, but there is
growing in the fighting armies feel
ing that the German is not going to
be permitted to rest this winter.
Fight in good weather and dig in
for the bad has become almost an
accepted principle in this war. Men
trained in the theory of war prior to
1914 and in it's practice since have
agreed every year to the uselessness
of attempting to drive the enemy
from its trenches once the rain and
sleet and snow set in, but there are
indications that the initiative taken
by the allies in July will be retoined
regardless of bad weather.
If Marshal Foch calls upon his
army groups to continue jumping at
the Germans they will and they will
do it as they did in the early part of
the war for, in addition to the REIN
forcement that America has provided,
there is a spirit revived. The French
are fighting with confidence restored
and the British are going in with
greater enthusiasm than had been app
parent for many months. They are
not merely carrying on" They are
slashing away like one does when he
knows there is another one right by
his side hitting just as hard.
The Germans are not exhausted.
They are not SO badly fed. Their
clothing is not bad and they prob
ably have plenty of ammunition not
withstanding the enormous stores
they have abandoned. But there is
something wrong and men who have
commanded troops in the recent
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES offensives
are incluined to believe it is the reali-
cation by the people of Germany of
the hoplessness of keeping up the
fight against a foe who obviously is
growing stronger instead of weaker.
German newspapers, official and
semiofficial documents and private
letters that occasionally come to the
hands of the allied troops no longer
contain sneers regarding the Ameri-
can assistance. 1t is recognized that
the American army cannot be dispos-
ed of so easily.

TEUTON TREACHERY
With the American Army in
France, Oct. 16.-( Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-An instance
of~cowardly treachery on the part of
a captured German officer who had
sbeen wounded and who had been of
fered help by an American officer is
told by Lieutenant Edward Nichols,
of jamaica, N. Y.
After the last big drive by the
allies in August, Lieutenant Nichols
was placed in charge of a company
of soldiers whose task it was to clear
the field of American dead and wound
ed. Although his duties did not re-
quire him to aid the German wounded
on the field until the Americans were
disposed of, Lieutenant Nichols, who
is only % years old, went to the as
sistance of German infantry officer
who seemed more than any of his
comrads to be in need of succor.
The lieutenant in the act of un-
fastening his canteen and giving the
wounded man a drink of water when
the German drew revolver while
the unsuspecting Americans face was
turned, and aimed it at the head of
his rescurer.
Before he could pull the trigger,
however, quick-witted American
sergeant plunged his bayonet through
the Germans heart The Germans
act was condemned even by his cap
tured comrades.

Growing chicks should be looked aft
er very closely, as o~vercrowding is
liable to happen, owing to the fact
that the chicks are getting larger and
need more rOoIl. This is a very i'm
portant point. Care given the flock
at this time means a profit; lack of
care, a loss. The three important
points are (1) fresh air, especially dur
ing the night, (2) fresh water ut all
times and (3) clean quarters.
In every instance where egg pro-
duction is the end sought, the pullets
should be put into winter quarters as
o as possible. Their winter quar-
tiers should he ready in advance. At
this season cockerels should be Sc

Every dairy herd in the United

+ Control with a view to the eventual
eradication of tuberculosis in cattle is
being accomplished by systematic eff

A definite plan was adopted in 1917
whereby herds Of cattle passing the
prescribed number of official tuberculin
tests should be certified or accredited
as free from tuberculosis.
An accredited herd is one that has
successfully passed two annual or
three semiannual tuberculin tests ap-

inspectors of the bureau of animal in
dustry Or of the state where co-opera-
