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 influen-
"a Of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of Influenza have visited
this country since 1647. II 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
ilized world. Three years later there
was another fare-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 II originated IN
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
70 h.N fnn fhnt
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can Spanish Influenza" be rec.
ognlzed?
There Ia 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 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
Jaly. Moreover, In the case of ordi
nary colds. the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depressioD are by NJ
means as severe or as sudden In theiI
onset as they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spreaf
through the community so rapidly O,
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 vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly. and
with this comes a fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 1O4. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In 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, o,
there may be some cough. These signs
of q cold may not be marked: never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
I'm addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF NORRIS L. GAGE
written at Request of Friends,)

comrades who were killed at the Bat
tie of the Blue, said to be the only
monument ever erected to the MEM
DRY of private soldiers of the Civil
war, by a private soldier.
His widow, Louisa H Gage, died in
1910 and in her will gave a business
lot on Kansas avenue valued at $780,
600 to the Young Womens Christian
association; another lot of same value
to the 1ng1eSide home for old ladies':
the residue OF her estate, amounting
to about $4,000. she willed to the
Stormont hospital. to be safely loaned,
secured by first mortgages on real
estate in Shawnee county; the inter
est to be used annually for the sup
port of charity patients in the Gage
annex to that hospital. This annex
she had, during her lifetime, erected
and furnished at a cost of nearly $780,
900. Mrs. Gage also gave to the city
the handsome arch at the Sixth street
entrance of Gage park, costing $1,000
Having secured more means than
was required to furnish me the neces-
sarieS and a few of the minor Iuxuries
of a simple life-the result of many
years of small savings and invest
ments-and having no family or de-
pendent relatives. 1 began several
years since to investigate where and
how l could use a portion of my sur
plus to best assist my fellow men, who,
by accident, bad luck or bad judg-
ment, were in distress. 1 believe that
every person, who has become fairly
prosperous, either thru trade, the
practice of a profession, or by any
other occupation, is indebted to the
community at large for a considerable
percentage of his prosperity. Without
the labor, the investments and CO.
operation in many ways of Others the
individual by his own unaided exer-
tons, would have been able to secure
little, if anything, more than a naked
existence.
The motives prompting my action
| in disposing to others a considerable
/ time were of a three-fold nature
partly wish to pay my debt to the
, public; partly philanthropic and partly
enlightened selfishness, the last arising
! from the personal pleasure l would
! derive from knowing that 1 was help
/ ing those who most needed help. In
| carrying forward this plan, some of
| my largest donations up to date have
been $500 towards buying a home for
the Topeka orphans and later $4,000
which paid off the mortgage on their
: home at the corner of Fillmore and
! Third streets; $4,000 towards furnish
/ ing Stormont hospital, 81. 500 in build
/ ing the wing walls for the arch at the
Sixth street entrance of Gage park and
about $4,000 for the purchase, i'm
provement and partial equipment of
: the Provident association plant at
Jackson and Fourth streets, Topeka,
and $4,000 to pay debt of Bethel as
ISOLATION in Ashtabula, Ohio.
I have devised and bequeathed in
my will for charity purposes property.
the value of which amounts to con-
| siderably more than the aggregate of
the sums above mentioned
I will be satisfied il the recipients
| of this property derive as much pleas
ure and comfort in the use of it as 1

districts the advantage of modern
hospitals, nursing. and specialized
medical practice.
THE economic wastes from insani-
tary health surroundings and from
disease are enormous. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate their extent. 1t is
even more impossible to assess the
amount of existing preventable hui
man misery and unhappiness. The
remedy is difficult. Many agencies,
some of them private enterprises with
large funds, are working for improve
ment States and medical societies
here and there are contributing, more
or less effectively. The extension and
improvement of agriculture, including
the drainage of lands, the clearing of
swamps, and the construction of good
roads, make for betterment. The de-
partment of agriculture, thru it's
home-demonstration service, is giving
valuable aid, and the public health
service is increasingly extending it's
functions, especially recently under an
appropriation for this purpose of
$4,000. To what extent the further
projection of effort is a matter for
state or local action remains to be de-
termined, but it seems clear that there
should be no cessation of activity I'M
til there has been completed in every
rural community of the union an eff
fective sanitary survey and, thru, the
provision of adequate machinery, steps
taken to control and eliminate the
sources of disease and to provide the
necessary modern medical and dental
facilities, easily accessible to the mass
of the people"

ARMY FOR TURKS AHEAD OF vii SON
Congress First Authorized q
League Of Nations
A Year Before President Got
Around to 1t.

Washington. Dec. Congress, 1t
was disclosed today, went on record
in favor of a league of nations to en-
force peace more than a year before
President Wilson.
On August IL, 1916, it passed a law
authorizing and requesting President
Wilson to call a conference of nations
at the close of the war to discuss dis
arma ment, international arbitration
and other means of avoiding future
conflicts. 1t provided for appoint
ment of mine eminent citizens of the
United States" as this country's dele
gates, and appropriated money to pay
their expenses. President Wilson's
fourteen peace terms. including the
league of nations. were announced
January s, 1918.
Senator Knox. Pennsylvania,
brought to light this law to show. he
said, that the United States had a
definite policy with respect to the
| league of nations, such policy orig
mated, not alone with the chief execa-
tive but with certain members of con-
gress."
He said that if formation of the
league is deferred until after the peace
treaty has been signed. the 1916 law
could be invoked.
THAT would give the president an
opportunity under congressional au-
thority to call world conference here
or abroad to take up the formation
| of the leagueSand related matters"
Leave Wilson Alone.
| More speeches on the league are in
prospect in the senate. Senator Lewis
will discuss it Friday. The senate's
attention is rapidly turning to this and
other phases of the fourteen terms
and away from criticism of President
Wilson for going abroad and for leav-
ing the senate off the peace delega-
I ton.

HUNS IN DEVIITRY
They Seemed To Know No Bounds
Late in the War.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
With the British-American Armies,
Nov. 10.-German deviltry seemed to
know no bounds in the last days of
the fighting on the British front after
the Hindenburg line had been shat
tered. They attached grenades to the
bodies of dead Huns left behind in
the German retreat, so that when the
bodies were lifted the grenades ex-
ploded, killing or wounding the bear
ers.
Near the town of LIE Cateau, a num-
Der of Australian stretcher- bearers
were killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German
dead from the field in front of an
Thereafter no Australian would put
hand on a dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to their
burial places by means of a long rope
which allowed the stretcher-bearers
to keep out of range of any exploding
hand-grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon the plan of making the Ger
man prisoners bury their own dead.
In one instance a boche prisoner was

companions. An examination of the
body later led to the discovery that it
was mined. The German was aware
of this fact and refused to touch it.
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many of the beds were
found to be mined. An American Of
ficer, tired and worn by a long and
hard fighting sought rest on a lounge
in a room previously occupied by a
German officer. The lounge blew up
and he was instantly killed.
Another officer picked up a pair of
field glasses left by the Germans and
was adjusting the focus when the
glasses exploded in his hands. ana blew
away a part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
nefarious business of making in
fernal machines, mines and time fuses,
and there was scarcely an area where
the electrical and engineering experts
of the allies did not find some new
form of their fiendish ingenuity.
