The federal food administration 10
calling on the farmers of Minnesota
to build silos, and to build them now.
The food administration is making the
same appeal to the farmers Of other
states. The reason for. the call is that
the silo increases the prosperity OF
the farm and thereby strengthens the
organization on which the nation and
Its associate nations in the war depend
Tor the food that will win the war.
Here are some facts worth knowing
about the silo:
Why Have Q silo3
Every farmer who has a silo be-
lieves In the silo.
The silo offers the only means Of
storing corn In such form that It can
oil be made use Of.
Silage Is both palatable and succu-
lent and increases the digestibility Of
the dry feeds consumed In winter.
All classes OF farm animals relish
silage, even hogs and poultry.
BY the use Of the silp 1t is possible
to save corn that might otherwise be
lost through frosts.
II gives sure food supply. because
there IL no surer crop than corn In
Minnesota.

The Spread of Spanish influenza
among soldiers in training camps, is

Dix, n. j.. and Camp Lee. Va
Thirteen such cases are said to be

health service also reports that sew
cral hundred cases similar to the
disease have made their appearance
in Virginia.
The public health service also re-
ports new cases in other sections of
the country. extending as far vast
rs the state of Washington.
Precautions Urged.
"Cover up each cough and sneeze;
II you don't you'll spread disease"
The foregoing is included in a
statement issued this morning by
Surgeon General Blue of the public
health service with regard to the
disease, which has already affected
20 per cent of the European popula-
ton and threatens to spread through
out the United States.
Surgeon General Blue and his de-
partment is making every effort,
through the aid of laboratories
throughout the country. to determine
the exact nature of the mlcro-or-
ganisrA causing the disease. He is
in communities ton with Maj. Richard
NJ. Pearce, chairman of the division
of medicine of the National Research
Council. and has requested him. to
obtain this aid.
This morning Maj. Pearce reported
that Drs. NJ. J. Rosenau of Harvard,

city health department, William II.
Ford of Johns Hopkins and others
have begun to seek the cause of the
disease.

-oekA-s it has been attended by a con-
siderable mortality. 1t is apparent
that a fatal outcome is not uncom-
mon when the infection takes the
form of a pneumonia. In this con-
nection / wish to call renewed atten-
ton to the instructive report issued
last year by Surgeon General Gorgas,
with regard to the occurrence of res
piratory infections in Army camps.
1t will be recalled that much en-
phasis was placed by Gen. Gorgas on
the evil effects of overcrowding. a
fact fully borne out by the high
pneumonia mortality in camps where

He said:
THE suggestion made in the ed
ftorial in Wednesdays Evening Star
to have physicians notify cases of
Spanish influenza to the health au-
thorities is admirable. Such reports
would enable authorities to deal with
new foci more promptly and help
them concentrate their efforts to bet

law. however. I believe that such re-
port can be obtained by requests adj

Advice to Public.

In view of the danger threatening
the country the health service urges
the people to fortify their systems by
seeking fresh air, good food and suit
able clothing. and to minimize the La
bility to infection by reducing over
crowding as much as possible.
1t was well known. the surgeon
general said, that the epidemic of
influenza. which swept a large part
of Europe and the United States in
1898. was an infection caused by a
very minute bacterium usually
spoken of as "PfeifferS bacillus" 1t
was important to know, he added
whether the present outbreak was due
to the same kind of germ.

frown on the reverse without even OBJ
