SPANISH INFLUENZA

Said That Epidemic Cost Mere Lives

Bangor Not Over. Great Care

The appalling ravages of Spanish Iufu-

by the statement recently made, that more
deaths have resulted In little more than
whole eighteen months participation in the
battles Of the European War.
Our greatest danger now, declare au-

SHIPPERS EASY PREY
Yankee Squirrel Hunters Seldom
Miss Them.
Two Men From Pennsylvania Account
for at Least Forty
Huns.

Paris.-When Yankee troops pushed
into Roncheres, Boche snipers got busy
from windows and other vantage
points. The Yanks proceeded to get
busy with the snipers. Two men who
did most effective work in cleaning out
the Boche snipers were two Pennsyl-
vania squirrel hunters-Privates Har-
~ Meeks and ]. C. Titterington. Every
time they glimpsed the smallest por-
ton of Hun they fired, and they sell
dom missed. 1t is estimated that
these two men accounted for at least
forty Germans.
Just about noon they located three
snipers In the belfry of church just
under the cross.
From this vantage the Boches were
picking off American soldiers.
Meeks and Titterington got on the
job Immediately by climbing to the
roof of a nearby dwelling. Meeks
saw the head of Hun for just sec
ond over the edge of the belfry. The
bullet found its mark, leaving only
two snipers. The two Yanks then be-
gan a fusillade of bullets, and five
minutes later a white flag fiuttered
from the belfry. Soon the two sur
viving Huns came down on the jump
yelling "kamerad."
A little later d party Of Yanks To-
Gated machine gun in the belfry OF
another church. They charged up the
stairway into the belfry and cleaned
out the nest in short order, killing the
Huns.

Origin of Tea Drinking.

Tea drinking seems to have orig
mated in China; and the Chinese, ac-
cording to Prof. King, in his Farmers
of Forty Centuries" drank it first
as sanitary measure, having found
that boiling their water saved them
from typhoid and afterward adding
tea leaves to make the boiled water
palatable DR.. r. A. Gortner of the
University of Minnesota, writing in
Science, believes that this is not an
exact description of what happened,
but that the discovery of the efficacy
of tea as a typhoid preventive came
after its general adoption in China as
a pleasing drink.

two straight games. The scores were
