The acute shortage of doctors and
nurses occasioned by the war, leaving
the civilian life of the country more
or less upon its own resources to
fight Spanish influenza. has caused
Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the
United States public health service to
urge the public to cooperate as much
as possible with the various health
agencies in this work.
In statement issued last night,
Surgeon General Blue pointed out
that 10000 doctors and 10000 nurses
are in war service. He called upon
the people of the country to learn
something about the home care of
patients i'll with the disease.

All Physicians overworked.

Physicians everywhere. he said. are
overworked. They have complained of
the inability of many persons to dis
tions requiring no medical aid and
those requiring expert medical care.
Every unnecessary call by a physician,
the statement says, makes it SO much
harder to meet the urgent needs of
patients seriously i'll.
To relieve pressure on physicians
and nurses by making the general
public more Independent of expert
medical advice, Surgeon General Blue
had contained in his statement de-
tailed instructions concerning home
care of influenza cases.

As to the Caretaker.

ly important to consider the person
who is caring for him. It is important
to remember that the disease is spread
by breathing germ-laden matter spray
ed into the air by the patient in cough
ing or even in ordinary breathing. The
attendant should therefore wear a
Eauze mask over her mouth and nose
while she is in the sick room. Such a
mask is easily made by folding a piece
of gauze four-fold. sewing a piece of
tape at the four corners and tying the
upper set of tapes over the ears. the
lower set around the neck. If the fold
ed piece of gauze is about six inches
and nose. Such mask can be worn
without discomfort for several hours,
after which it can be boiled in water
dried and used over.
1.-The attendant should always wash
her hands with soap and water i'm
mediately after waiting on or touch
ing the patient. This is important,
for carelessness in this direction may
easily cause the attendant to become
infected with the disease germs.
Attendant should, if possible, wear
a washable gown or an apron which
covers the dress. This will make it
much simpler to avoid infection.
"It it desirable that all attendants
learn how to use fever thermometer.
This is not at all a difficult matter.
and the use of such a thermometer is
a great help in caring for the patients.
The druggist who sells these ther-
mometers will be glad to show how
they are used.
I'm closing, and least I be misun-
derstood, I wish to leave one word of
caution: II in doubt, call the DOCTOR"

Gen. Blues Statement.

Every person who feels sick and
appears to be developing an attack of
/ Influenza says the statement. Should
at once be put to bed in we'll venti-
lated room. If his bowels have moved
regularly it is not necessary to give a
dose of castor oil or Rochelle salts
should be given.
1.-The room should be cleared Of all
unnecessary furniture. bric-a-brac, and
rugs. A wash basin, pitcher and slop
bowl, soap and towers should be at
outside the door.
eff the patient is feverish doc
tor should be called, and this should
be done in any case if the patient
appears very sick. or coughs UP pinkish
(biood-stained) sputum, or breatheS rap
idly and painfully.
Most of the patients cough up con-
siderable mucus; in some. there is
much nuctas discharged from the nose
and throat. This material should not
rather on bits of old rags, or toilet
paper, or on paper napkins. AS soon as
used. these rags or papers should be
placed in a paper bag kept beside
the bed. Pocket handkerchiefs are out
of place in the sick room. and should
papers in the paper bag should be
burned.
THE patients will not be hungry,
and the diet should therefore be light.
Milk. soft boiled egg, some toast or
crackers, a bit of jelly or jam, steWcd
fruit, some cooked cereal like 0at-
meal, hominy or rice-these will suf-
fee in most cases.
1.-THE comfort of the patient depends
on a number. of little things, and
these shoulud not be overlooked
Among these may be mentioned a
well ventilated room: a thoroughly
clean bed with fresh, smooth sheets
and pillowcases; quiet, so that re-
'freshing sleep may be had; cool
drinking water conveniently placed
a cool compress to the forehead if
there is headache; keeping the pa
tents hands and face clean and the
hair .combed; keeping his mouth
clean, preferably with some pleasant
mouth wash; letting the patient know
that some one is within call, but not
annoying him with too much fussing;
giving the patient plenty of oppor-
tunity to rest and sleep.
1T is advisable to give the sick room
good airing several times a day.
The patient should be well protected
against cold and draughts and then
the windows should be opened widely
to let in the fresh air.

trenches. The shells are high ex-
plosive ones of different sizes, very
heavy. and very effective. A 29S-
10. torpedo from a trench mortar
will go 10 to 16 feet into the ground
before exploding, If the ground is
soft, and lighting in the trench, il
will wipe out a whole section. The
shell is thrown in a high arc, COM
ing down almost perpendicularly.
FLYING PIG:
A name for one of the heaviest
trench mortar torpedoes. II is about
5 feet long. weighs 2sS pounds and
is shaped like a pig. II carries a
light in the tail which goes out as
soon as the shell begins to descend.

ously known among soldiers as Rum

THE FIRST DAYLIGHT SAVER.

other than our good old Revolutionary philosopher.
Ben Franklin.
Ben didn't urge the reform particularly his fell
Iow-Americans because most Of them used 10
early rising in his day. He recommended it to the
people Paris during his sojourn there because they
kept such VIGOROUSLY late hours.
The arguments he used Just about the same
as those that have familiar with lately In
article written for Paris paper he explained that
the city could save 6405O,OOO pounds OF candle
and taIow II citizens would only get up and go
bed according tae instead Of according to
habit. between March 20 and Sept 20.
would be hard Franklin admitted people
20 change their custom. But he expressed his con
ddence i'm their basic common sense. and his faith
that "as soon they have learnt from this paper
that it daylight when the sun rises. they viii rise
with him"
A good many Americans 10y the just now
