HOW CAN ONE GUARD
 AGAINST INFLUENZA

In guarding against disease. Of all kinds it is important that the body be kept strong and able to figh. off disease germs. This can he done by having 8 proper propor- tion Of work, play. and rest, by keeping the body we'll clothed, and by eating sufficient, wholesome, ard Uroperly selected foCG. In con- nection with diet, it is well to re- member that milk is one of the best all-around foods obtainable for adults as well as children. So far as disease like influenza is con- cerned health authorities every where recognize the very close re lytlon between it's spread and over crowded homes. While it is not al- ways possible, especially in times like the present, to avoid such over crOwding people should consider the health danger and make every eff for, to reduce the home overcrowd- fny to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows can not be over emphasized.
 Where crowding is Il navoidabIe' as In street ears, care should be taken to keep the face so turned as not to inbale directly the air breath ed ou+ by another person.
 It is especially important to De- ~are of the person who coughs or sneezes without covering his mouth and nose. It also follows that ors should keep out of crowds and stu'fy places as much as possible kaep homes, offices, and workshops we'll aired, spend some time out oi

SMALL ISLAND ALL AMERICAN
One of Uncle SamuePs Most Valued Possessions ls Little Scrap of
 Land in the Pacific Ocean.

Midway, tiny scrap of an island in the Pacific, Is one Of Uncle Sans most cherished possessions. It is one of the most valuable bits of sand and rock in the world. The little island, a relay station for the Pacific cable, is a link in the chain binding Asia to the western world, the Philippines to the United States. A message sent to Pekin or Manila from San Fran. cisco must pass through Midway be- fore it reaches Its destination. The island listens to the gossip of two continents.
 Once the most desolate and forsaken atOll in the two oceans, Midway today promises to rival Hawaii as the para. disc of the Pacific, paradise created by man. A tiny paradise, to be sure, but the island has never been able to boast of population of more thar forty at one time, and nearly half of them were only visiting. A superin tendent with the imposing title of Guardian of the Island, his family a doctor with q very small practice an engineer or two and the servants are the sole inhabitants.
 The island today is triumph oi engineering skill. It was necessary that the stations of the cable be under the American flag. The second linl in the chain could only be Midway, SC the nameless, pear-shaped heap Ol sand in the Pacific was transformed into blooming bit of land with flow CTS, vegetables and even diminutivt trees. The American flag was raised over the government house, an Amer ican colony was transplanted to tht new island and Midway stepped into prominence at once.
 Midway is just half way around thu world from London, almost directl! over the 1S0th meridian. When 1t il midnight in England, the noon sun il shining on the smallest single bit o: American soil in the world.

 "Not while they are fighting" an swered the father.
 "I guess they don't have time for va cations" unused the boy, "Pll bet they don't even have time to wash theil hands and face."

Hartford Tax Rate.

The commissioners Of Hartford
county have fixed the 1918 tax rate
at 95 cents on the $100, which is
10 cents lower than it was last year.
In spite of the fact that the county
lost heavily in revenue through the
taking of 10000 acres by the gov
ernment for the Aberdeen Proving
Ground, the taxable basis has been
increased five million dollars by the
reassessment of real and personal
property and securities. The new
basis of the county is $25,144.091,
The total expenses of the county will
be $22,7S5. The sum of $65,000 is
levied for public road improvement,
which is an increase of $4,000 over
last year, and, $S6,OS4 for public
schools, an Increase of $4,000 over

Second Red Cross Drive.

Shortly after Americas entrance
into the world conflict the American
Red Cross, through it's War Council
appointed by the President, asked of
the American people one hundred
million dollars, as their first contri-
button to the War Fund. That War
Fund had been decided upon as
necessary to carry through the
broad plans of European and Ameri-
can War Relief on the scale that
their need justified.
The money contributed at that
time will have been all expended by
early this summer and the account
ing of this expenditure, audited by
the Government, has been given the
widest publicity.
In order that this tremendous
work of humanity may be carried on
the President has designated the
week of May Goth, 1918, as Red
Cross week, during which the public
will be appealed to for another
hundred million dollar contribution.
Every means will be taken during
that week to inspire and stimulate
the public to give and give generous
ly to this great need. It is as much
matter of patriotism as the support
of our army and navy.
