A DOES THIS MEAN?

xxyy + find the following signed ar
w ticie on the front page of our
Parowan contemporary. Can someone
figure out what it means; in other
words, what the writer's are driving
at? If masking is in vogue in Paro-
wan, who issued the order, if the
Board of Health views masking in the
light that this article would indicate.
If the Board of Health has exper-
fenced a change Of heart since the or
der was issued, why do not they re-
scind same, instead Of attacking the
expediency through the public press -?
And If the masks are of no avail with
out a preparation of dope from the
Drug Store, it is strange that none of
the larger town boards where mask
ing has been employed have "tumbled
to" the fact.
Well. here it is, just as it looks:
"INFLUENZA AND THE MASK
"In former times Of influenza visi-
t%ations we never heard it suggested
that the wearing of a gauze mask owe
the nose and mouth would protect the
wearer from the disease. But during
the prevailing epidemic some one
started the idea of the preventative
quality of the face mask and we like
sheep came tumbling after, to bow to
the Fetish.
at is certainly far-fetched, not to
say ridiculous to attach any straining
utility to the gauze mask. If Dragons
flies and Lizards would produce influ-
enZa it is easy to see the gauze would
keep them out of the mouth and nose.
But granting the wearing of the mask
is not rank nonsense its use is far
from being practical for it is impos-
sible to make it alright around the
nose and mouth and thus make all in
spired air come through the gauZe,
and unless the mask is worn damp or
wet with proper antiseptic solution it
is practically useless. We all have to
have occasional access to the nose and
mouth and to remove the mask for a
single breath is sufficient for one to
become infected. Then its use may be
mischevious in that we may feel we
are protected and consequently neglect
the use of more efficient preventative
measures and too, we must rebreathe
our W e~xhalations. So we say, keep
your mouth and nose in an antiseptic
condition by using good nose and nose
washes and keep your masks damp
ened with antiseptic solution to de-
stroy the germ as it clings to the
mesh.
"For mouth and nose use any of
the following, by spray or otherwise:
"Oil Of eucalyptus; oil of pine need
les; oil of cinnamon and petrolatum;
listerine; metholatum.
"A mixture of olive oil and menthol
crystals. The druggist will be pleased
to make and furnish these simple pre-
ventatives. Put them on your masks,
use them and help us to stop the cpl
demic.
"Make your masks of genuine serv-
ice to you by using representatives. on
them and keep them clean and sterile.

December the 30th is the date now
fixed for the opening of the B. A. c.
and the district schools, if the present
plans for the clearing up of the iniu-
enza epidemic materialize.
The announcement will come as a
welcome message to faculty members
and students alike, who are heartily
tired of the long and tedious delay.
The h. A. C. is issuing its Mid
Winter Course Bulletin, which will be
on the press in a day or two and in
the hands of prospective students and
others interested shortly afterwards.
The portion Of the Science building
which has been temporarily requisi-
toned as a hospital for the treatment
of influenza patients, will be thorough
ly disinfected and renovated prior TO
use, and everything will be in readi-
ness for the opening and an intensive

of our Army, as our Chief Executive
and Peace Negotiator and also as the
best known, most highly regarded and
most powerful personality in all the
world; and under such circumstances
there is no doubt that, through his in
fluenco and efforts, this country and
the whole world will get a square deal
in every way.
"Let good citizens then, everywhere,
put aside petty quibbling of all kinds
and follow our president, as he sails
away, with best wishes and earnest
prayers for his personal safety and
for the highest possible success in the
tremendously important tasks winch
confront him"
Are you able to trace any connec-
ton between the foregoing clever bit
of personal advertising and the avoweo
purposes Of this publication, which is
supposed to be issued in the interests
of National Conservation, and the
proper development of Agriculture.
Industry and Transportation We
cannot, unless it might be claimed to
be in the interest of transportation.
Under the caption of "Thc New
World" there is an article which sa-
vors very strongly of B~olshevikism
and is a severe arraignment of all
capital and employers Of labor, whom
it compares to the im%perialistic kaiser
and his %cotiere in Germany.
The publication is issued by "The
General Welfare League, 1870 Broad
way, New York, and it is really an
abuse Of the government frankine
privilege to allow it this use'of the
mails.
There are a lot of such advertising
sheets being issued at the peoplthefi
sheets being issued and circulated al
the peoples expense which ought to
be suspended.

R. C. COOKING "HITSv
FRANCE JUST RIGHT
Expert Dietitians Devise Palata-
BILE Menus for Soldiers in
Hospitals and C%anteens.

France is much Interested In Amerl-
can cooking, which is truly a crafty
ing compliment to a nation which
prints its fashionable menu mostly In
French. The two hundred and more
American Red Cross canteens dotting
both the French and American lines OF
communication have been a success
with the Poilu as well as the Yank,
and that well known French %organiza-
ton for the wounded, known as the
Bien-IGtre du Blesse, has opened a
number Of model kitchens In French
hospitals, usually In charge of anna
teur dletitians, who consult a profess
sional dietitian provided by the Amer
lean Red Cross, who goes about
among these hospitals and offers sug-
gestlons and advice.
Three hundred trained dietitians are
now in service In hospitals, canteens
or kitchens on Red Cross hospital
trains in France. The American Tx
peditlonary Force took with IL a train
ed dletitian for each base hospital.
These women are civilian employees
OF the Army, recruited through the
Bureau of Dietitian Service of the
American Red Cross.
Red Cross Model Farms.
For the double purpose of providing
enough fresh milk and vegetables for
sick soldiers in hospitals and well SOL
dicrsl in canteens and providing health
full outdoor exercise for the patients
well along In their convalescence the
Red Cross has established a number Of
farms and diaries In connection with
hospitals. Besides their great practi-
cal value they have given an enormous
mount of entertainment to the men.
The French government, more than in
terested, has loaned some thousands
OF cows, and altogether It Is a scheme
which appeals to everybody.
But II is not alone for the soldiers
that the Red Cross does some Of its
thinking In terms of cooking and food
stuffs. The Bureau Of Dietitian Serv-
ice has helped to solve the food prob
lem of civilian refugees.
The American Red Cross In France
thinks In terms OF huge figures, mar
velous systems. of transportation, tons
OF shipping space, and 1t also thinks In
terms OF the white of egg or orange
Juice for one single boy. That is why
22,0O0,00O people lave afhliated them
selves with the American Red Cross
and why Christmas this year in the
United States IL marked by the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call.

The purpose of the Red Cross Christ

Nothing short of universal membership

CAMOUFLAGE ADVERTISING

IT HE present national administra-
ton is perhaps the most insid.
uous in its advertising methods, which
are c~amoufiaged under all manner of
DISCUSSES, that this country has ever
known. Large numbers Of clerks and
publicity people are employed at the
capitol city for the purpose of keep
ing the males flooded with circular
matter, largely in the nature of per-
souAi~ advertising for this, that or the
othter government official or depart.
ment, thus encumbering the mails to
the exclusion Of legitimate and neces-
sary matter, even to parcels for the
boys lover there" who must needs be
limited to one Christmas package each
If, indeed, they r lucky enough to
get that. In the mean time, the pub
lie is paying for this nonsense in
their taxes and contributions and sub
scriptions to the various war funds
and activities.
Nearly every mail brings each news
paper in the United States, little and
big, from two or three TO a dozen of
these propaganda enclosures Of one
kind or another, a very small proper
ton Of which are valuable from a news
standpoint, and a very large proper
ton of which are political and person
al advertising, pure and simple. A
concrete example before us is a copy
Of General Welfare Bulletin, a four
page circular, the front page of which
bears this introduction:
ISSUED in the interest of National
Conservation and for the proper de-
velopment Of Agriculture, Industry
and Transportation. Edited by Stan
ley w. Finch"
Published weekly for editors and
publishers only"
The subscription price is $1.00 a
year, but it is sent free to editors and
publishers, without their request.
Looks fair and generous on its face,
doesn't it?
Now we will turn the leaves and
note some of the contents, of which
the following is a specimen:
"THE PRESIDENT"
The American people may rest as
sured that President Wilson is not
going to Europe for his health, nor,
as some seem TO think, for the pur-
pose of strutting around over there,
but on the contrary, in deciding to
attend the Peace Conference in per-
son Notwithstanding the bitter and
widespread criticism of such action,
he is undoubtedly actuated by the
highest patriotic motives. Moreover,
while he has not as yet taken the
public into his confidence in the mat
ter, undoubtedly there's n reason, and
a good one, for his inflexible determi-
nation to make the trip and, when the
whole story is finally known, the Am
erican people will nodoubt have an
other reason to thank God that Wood
row Wilson-the man who makes
great ideals come true-has been our
president during this, the most critical
period of all history for the determi-
nation of the welfare or the woefare
Of the world.
AS to the Presidents right to make
the trip there is 0 the slightest
doubt and, as to the wisdom of such
course, he-being probably the only
person in possession of all the facts
is best able 10 judge.

Europe not merely as an individual,
nor simply as a delegate to the Peace
Conference, but in the exercise of his
full authority as Commandments
