Don't Let Anybody
Spit In Your Face.

It's The Careless Coaghers and
Sneezsrs Who Are Allies OF
Spanish Grippe.
Richmond, Va, Sept. 27.-
Don't spit in anybody's face
and don't let anybody spit in
yonrs -
1t was in these blunt words
that the State Health Commits
sioner today expressed himself
when he began to discuss the
alarming increase of Spanish
Grippe in Virginia and the one
sure method Of preventing fur
tler spread of the disease -
Yes" he added with the tm-
phasis of conviction, the situa-
ton calls for plair, unvarnisllt d
speech. And so I repeat my
warning. It's spit-fresh spit
that's doing the mischief-germ-
ridden spit scattered abroad by
careless personal habits. If one
gets grippe, he either has put into
his mouth spit of somebody who
has grippe, or somebody has spit
in his face by coughing or sneez-
irg at him. Up comes one OF
your friends and sneezes in your
face. Then comes another who
coughs right at you as if he Ell.
gagged in target practice, while a
third gives you a cordial hand.
shake with an infected fist or
which lie has coughed. Better
by far if they whacked us on the
head with stick sinstead o.
spraying us with his disease
producing spit.
And may we also be saved
from the common drinking cup
another menace almost as bad a.
the eoughers and sneezers."
The Health Commissioner i
frank to say that he does not SCI
much hope of heading off Span
ish Influenza unless this advic,
is followed. And yet he fear
that the very simplicity of hi
suggestions will cause them t,
be ignored.
1t will be the part of wisdom
for everybody to hearken to thu
ugly little lecture on spit, for i
tells, alas. the story of Spanish
Grippe and explains the reason
for its wide spread at a tim,
when war conditions make doc
tors and nurses hard to find il
the country.
The State Department O
Health is now busily engaged il
sending out placards and bulle
tins giving information as t,
preventative methods. Anyon,

Cheerful extracts from a letter
from France written by Sergeant
Maj. Moritz Coffman, son of Mr..
M. Coffman, of Woodstock.
L just took some clothes to the
negro tailor to be pressed. About
five of them were sitting around
the kitchen stove and among
other topics that arose for dis
cussion was that of sleeping con-
ditions.
One of them remarked that
hunks were being stored in the
stables for our men. A big
Louisiana negro (tlley all are
from tllereJ spoke up Can you
imagine dat? "SleepM' in a stabls.'
A little negro oyer in the corner,
peeling spuds looked up and said
Why man, dat amt muffin,
Chris WIZ bawn in a stable.
Il think that is the best l have
heard yet. Whenever we want
any diversion all we have to do
is get around those negroes.
They sing and play pranks all
the time. They have a wonder
ful quartet and every night they
sing and dance. There is an
entire company of them here
il camp and we will miss them
when they leave. Their kitchen
is right behind our office. Sat-
urday they had pumpkiH pie.
One of our men made this dis.
covery and made bold to ask how
much he (the cook would take
for a piece. Much to his urprise
the cook replied, Uncle Sam
ain't never told me they costs
iuffen." No more words were
necessary.
