: DEATH EXPLAINED

Christ. Seifert, residing on North
Franklin street, recently received a
letter from w. r. Castle, Jr., director
Of communication Of the American
Red Cross, with headquarters at
Washington, D. c., relative to the de-
tails Of the death of his son, Corpor-
al BENJAMIN Seifert, who was recent
ly killed in an aeroplane accident in
England, says the New Ulm Journal.
"The accident occurred on April 3
at the American section of the avia-
ton camp at Scampton, Eng, which
is near Lincoln" the letter states.
"It was caused by the machine run
by Lieutenant Hugenin getting out of
control when flying low. 1t pitched
Lieutenant Hauenin out and then
crashed into machine on the ground
killing Corporal Seifert and Private
Krantman. All three men were killed
instantly, so that you know at least
that there was no suffering.
"Your sons commanding officer,
Lieutenant Hampton told our repre-
sentative that he thought most highly
of Seifert; that he considered him one
of the best men in the organization
and that in the past he had relied up
on him in every way. This l know
you will be glad to hear, because it
will show you that your son not only
died in the course of duty, but that
his excellent performance Of duty had
enabled him to do such good work
that he was respected by his officers.
"The funeral of the three men took
place with full military honors on
April 8 and they we're buried in New
port cemetery in Lincoln. The graves
in this cemetery are always taken ex-
cellent care Of by the British author,
tiles. The American Red Cross had
a beautiful spray of flowers put on
each coffin and nothing was omitted
that would possibly have been done
in the way the family would have
wanted it done. AS soon as the graves
are in order photographs will be taken
and sent us to- forward to you.-

The chief danger lies in complications
arising. attacking principally. patients
in a rundown condition-those who
don't go to bed soon enough or those
who get up too early.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe. or influenza as II is now
called. usually begins with chill fol-
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a
general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature Is from 100
to 104, and the fever usually lasts from
three to five days. The germs attack
the mucous membrane, or lining of the
air passages-nose. throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually a hard
cough. especially bad at night, often
times sore throat or tonsilitis, and
frequently all the appearances of a Sc

aching. But there Is no cure or spe

lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza SO weakens the bodily
