well that 1t ought to be repeated on
a more extensive scale next year. Hun
dreds Of families who never had gar
den before have enjoyed fresh vege-
tables from their home yards this sum-
mer. Many of them have learned some
thing Of the art Of gardening and have
become keenly interested in 1t. All
have benefited physically from inter-
esting work In the open air. Il
These need not be advised to plan
for bigger garden next year. But
those who. through representation and
Incidence, failed to realize the profits
Of gardening this year should start
making plans for next spring now. !.

WAR ACTIVITIES IN
WEST VA. DISCUSSED

Coordination IT war work was the
trend of the talk at the round table
session of the state war convention
in Charleston Tuesday afternoon for
which former Governor w A. Nc.
Corckle made an ideal presiding off
Ger. The combining Of war activities,
either under the Council of Defense
OF under war activities committee.
along the same lines was advocated
by the major part of the speakers.
The employment of the card index
in system of keeping records of part
being played in winning the war by
the people here at home was advo-
Gated strongly by Gray Silver, of
Martinsburg. Thaddeus Pritt and
Ralph Darlin, of Elkins, where such
systems have proved very effective.
The use of newspapers in war
work was emphasized by numerous
speakers, and it seemed to be the
consensus of opinion that names
should be printed more especially in
rural district, so that there would be
some method of knowing just who is
supporting the war in the proper
way. Mr. Silver advocates the pub
fishing of names Of those who Sub
scribe without giving amounts. and
says it has proven very effective in
Berkeley county.
The war convention opened with
highly inspiring address by Governor
J. ]. Cornwell, chairman of the State
Council of Defense, who offered
resume of war activities to date
which is highly creditable to the peo-
pie Of West Virginia Former Cover
nor William MacCorkle, chairman of
the Liberty loan committee, also
made splendid talk at the opening
of the convention and has injected
interest in the formidable discus
sion. John H. Darst, state ar''tor.
w. B. Matthews, chairman OF the
four-minute men of the state also
made brief addresses on the opening
day. Preston. Writ, Lincoln, Richie
and Hardy plans to have four-minute

counties before the convention ends.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
By Dr.. Jepson
State Health Commissioner


Under this name the papers have
announced the arrival in the coun-
try Of cases of what was by many
deemed to be new disease. II it
differs in any respect from the grip
which came to America FROM Russia
about quarter century ago, and
which has been with us ever since,
it is that it seems to be of more
severe type. Investigation has
shown that its infectious agent is
the same germ that has for years
been recognized by psychologists
as the bacillus of Pfeiffer. This germ
resides in the secretions of the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes, and the
infection is, therefore. readily com
by sneezing and coughing, or the
use of infected towels, drinking YES
sells, or other articles previously
used by the sick. The disease may
arise in from one to four days after
exposure. and may be contracted
from patient so long as he harbor
the disease germs in his respiratory
organs. Naturally the disease is more
infectious during its acute stage.
This disease now prevails in sew
eral Of the eastern and southern cit
les, and will no doubt spread rapidly
until it becomes pandemic. The
State Health Department desires TO
urge our people to pay unusual at
tention to acute colds. as the influ-
enza usually begins in this form. and
any acute cold may prove TO be an
acute attack of influenza. Every
person so affected. especially if any
fever exists, should at once go to
bed and remain there at least until
all fever is gone. He should call his
physician and submit to his advice
The patient should be separated
from all persons except his neces
sary attendant, and this person
should use gauze mask over nose
and mouth as to guard against the
inhalation of germs. The discharges
from the nose, throat and lungs
should be received in a disinfectan'
solution, and handkerchiefs and 9th
er articles used by the patient
should be promptly disinfected. Or
the recovery of the patient the bed
ding and room furniture should b.
well cleaned and the room aired be
fore being again occupied.
If these suggestions are CAREFUL.
observed, many cases Of influenza
with its resulting serious bronchiti
or pneumonia. may be prevented. AM
afflicted patients will stand bette
chance for prompt and complete re
covery.

new FiNEs OUT FOR
VISITORS AT MEADE

New regulations concerning the
admittance of visitors to Camp
Meade have been issued by Briga-
dier-General Joseph A. CASTOR, camp
commander. No visitors will be al
lowed to remain in camp after a
O'clock at night unless they have re-
ceiyed special passes extending the
time for them. These passes will be
issued only in exceptional cases -
for dances, entertainments or for
persons who have close relatives
critically ill in the hospital.
While on the subject of passes, it
would be well to remind visitors
that the authorities at Camp Meade
have been generous in allowing them
to bring boxes and baskets of good
things to the soldiers. Every Sunday
the visitors have spread great din
ners on the grass near Liberty Field
and other places in the camp and
they and their soldier friends have
fed well and happily.
However, if these visitors are not
more careful and considerate they
ARE going to spoil all future parties.
Monday morning boxes and paper
were spread Unfortunately over
camp, making picture that was de-
cidedly unattractive, particularly in.
the eyes of the authorities. The
thoughtlessness and carelessness of
the visitors imposed an unnecessary
burden upon the men at the canton
ment. They had to police the
camp, which means they had to go
around picking up the paper and
boxes and the remnants Of the din
ners of the day before. Many men
who had no part in these dinners
had to clean up for others Such a
condition of things didn't appeal to
the sense of fair play of the author
Titles.
Big yellow, cans marked Trash"
are spread all over camp There are
hundreds Of these cans and it is an
easy thing for visitors to place rub
bage and. remnants from their din
Iner tables in them.
