Benson Red Cross Workers
Make Good Showing

So far this mouth our Red Cross
Branch has accomplished more
work than it has heretofore in the
same length of time. Our quota
of muslin T bandages for the
month is sixtv-fve and already we
have 100. A number Of these
have been made at the meetings OF
the Presbyterian and Methodist
Ladies' Aid.
Last Saturday alone aside from
hospital shirts and I bandages
there were 125 gauze congresses
made.
Everone who came last Saturday
come every Saturday and bring
some one else with you. That un-
finished work at home can go a
day or so longer. Our boys at
the front have let every thing go
to fight for us and we can let al
most every thing go to see that
they are taken care Of. If we
haven't husband, son or brother
Of our own there some other
woman's Sam1nie is fighting for us.
1t has been a year this month
since the first membership drive in
Benson. It would simplify matters
for the officers Of the chapter if
those who joined between May and
October of last year would pay Ill
their yearly 81 90 lee now. Those
who find it convenient to do this
can turn in their money to Mrs.
Smith at the bank or to any other
Red Cross officer who will be glad
to see that you get your RECEIPT for
the coming years S subscription.

The following twelve rules have been formulated
by the Division of Sanitation, Surgeon Generals office
They of the advice that the best brains in
the Army Medical Department give how to
avoid Spanish Influenza. Washington is reading
them and following them.
1. Avoid needless crowding- influenza
is crowd disease
g. Smother your coughs and sneeze -
others do not want the germs which you
would throw away
g. Your nose, not your mouth, was made
to breathe through-get the habit.
4 Remember the three Cs-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean clothes.
s. Try to keep cool when you walk and
warm when you ride and sleep.
g. Open the Windows-alWays at home
at night; at the office when practicable.
7. Food will win the war if you give it
a chance-help by choosing and chewing
your food we'll
g. Your fate may be in your own hands
wash your hands before eating.
g. Don't let the waste products of diges-
ton accumulate-drink glass or two of
water on getting up.
TO- Don't use a napkin, towel, spoon, fork,
glass or cup which has been used by another
person and not washed.
II. Avoid tight clothes, tight Shoes tight
gloves-seek to make nature your ally, not
your prisoner
II. When the air is pure breathe all of it
you can--breathe deeply

Third, since influenza is spread from

from the mouth and nose and throat
when he coughs or sneezeS it is his duty
to see that he does not spray his fellows
or allow them to spray him.
Fourth, he should stay away from men

Fifth. if he thinks he has contracted
influenza. he must go on sick report at

well as to himself"

Army Medical Department Officers on
duty at the Surgeon Generals Office

as 104 sometimes nausea. also a seeming
sore throat. There is little running from
the nose and eyes, and some sneezing and
coughing
