The fever lasts three to four days; (;
subsidies rapidly as rule. Irregular
fever may persist or pneumonia may
develop.
Streptococci, pneumococci or in
some instances Pfeiffer bacillus are
found in the secretions. The disease
is spread from mouth to mouth, the
organisms are in the secretions,
(droplets of saliva, coughing, sneez-
ing, on handkerchiefs, towels, hands
etc.
The patient should be isolated. Dis
charges of nose and throat destroyed.
Attendants should wear masks and
keep hands scrupulously clean Sick

case of influenza should be watched
for five days for the first symptoms
of the disease, and all persons recov-
ering from the disease must be iso-

following the subsidence of clinical
symptoms.

was badly hurt He was removed to
his home, on the farm of Lee Farris,
lingering until Friday night August
End when he died. Up to last Satur-

the second year of the war gave
the Allies as much cause for
worry as the events of 1862 dis
heartened the Union soldiers.
Germany launched her full
strength against Russia. Hin
denburg and Mackensen swept
Slavs before them. Before the
movement was brought to
standstill Germany had covered
and taken possession of about
100, 600 square miles of territory
with prisoners, food and ammu-
milton, and on the west front
their success continued. 1t was
during the third year of the civ.
il war that the Union forces be-
gan to see light on the horizon.
1t was in the third year of the
present war that the allies began
to gain in strength. The fourth
year of each war brought about
centralized leadership-the vital
factor in the elimination of the
civil war and probably destined
to be the leading factor in our
war of today. Grant was made
Lieutenant General, the highest
rank in the United States army.
His plan was to have all the Un-
ion forces pull together" He
assigned to each general one
special objective with the end in
view of surrounding and closing
in upon the enemy. And in 1918
Foch is working out the strategy
that he expects to end the great
er war. So we must await with
patience the results of his Efforts.

Seasonable Recipes.

A most delicious dessert very simple
and easy to prepare and one that is
most attractive to look at is junket,
served in sherbet cups, topped with
spoonful of raspberries or any sweet
ened fruit and over this a spoonful of
sweetened whipped cream.
To prepare the junket take junket
tablet and dissolve it in tablespoon
full Of cold water. Warm a pint of
milk until just luke warm, like new
milk, add the dissolved tablet and stir
well to mix it thoroughly through the
milk, flavor and sweeten to taste and
pour into sherbet cups. Let stand in
the kitchen until the junket is firm,
then set on ice. Fresh berries of any
kind when crushed and mixed with
equal measures of sugar will keep in
definitely when carefully sealed and
kept in cool place. Junket tablets
come in a small wooden box and will
keep well until used.
Canned fruit may be used for this
dessert, but 1t is not as good as the
fresh.

rian, to gigantic proportions. +"
The number given is 100000
men. On the Confederate side
were 100000 men. The Union
fleet consisted of 50 vessels.
Compare these figures with
to.day's war statistics. Ir 1918
our forces have grown to "gi-
gantic proportions" but these
would have new meaning. We
now deal with millions instead
of hundreds of thousands. The
casualties alone at the close of
the war in Europe were more
than 1000, 600 men. Just as the
question of ships was a big prob
lem with us at the outset of our
part in this war of 1917. even so
was the question of ships the
great problem in the Civil war.
At the beginning the Union
forces could boast of having SO
vessels, additions came slowly.
There was great joy above the
Mason & Dixon line when the
news came that one ironclad ves-
sci had been completed and was
ready to take an active part in
the war. But proportionately
the need, the anxiety and fear
of not meeting it and the strain
ing of every effort to bring the
army and navy up to full strength
were the same. The Civil war
started with an eastern and
western front, just as this war
started in Europe. In the east
the detectives of the two armies
were the two capitols. The ar.
my of the south wanted to in
wade Washington; the army of
the north sought the capture of
Richmond. Both were confident
that in a year they would dinner
in the cities toward which they
were fighting. On the west the
battles were for control of the
Mississippi. Intensive warfare
in the enemy's country was the
purpose behind both armies.
Just as the end of the first year
of che war in Europe saw de.
spairs and detection in the heart
of the defensive combatants, SC
did the first year of the civil
war, being little but gloom into
the camps of the Union forces.
The allies of 1915 had, howev.
er, much more to brighten theil
hopes than did the Union force;
of '62. The former had the glory
of having beaten the enemy il
the battle of the Marine; the lat
ter little or no success during thu
first half of the struggle. They
had made some valuable gains il
territory, it is true, but the1
they were offset by dishearten

The figures are unofficial, howev-

therefore, upon the ratio of the in
