Patriotism VS. Cigarettes.

Our country needs men, MEN, MEN.
The most patriotic job boys have on
hand is to make men of themselves.
And cigarettes hold them back.
II seems impossible to make some
fellows believe that though every medi-
raj expert in the country knows tina t
cigarettes are bad thing for growing
boys. millions of men who smoke and
surely they ought to know-agree tn at
cigarettes are bad for boys. And yet
there are some boys just sprouting
into long trousers who think they
know more about cigarettes than all
the doctors in the country. Some case
of swell head" don't you think?
Every time ! see boy smoking Il
cigarette | get mad clear through
feel like taking him by the nape of
the neck and shaking the poor fool
until his teeth rattle.
BAD POINTS:
Hurt fellow physically-stunt his
growth, dull his brain, take the keen
ness out of his 'smeller" and the edge
off his appetite.
Hurt fellows chance for getting a
job.
Class fellow either as tough or
fool-and it's hard to choose between
the two.
Waste fellows money.
Make it impossible for IA fellow to
travel with a decent bunch.
GOOD POINTS:
Can't think of single one. Can
you?
1t is my humble opinion that about
the most unpatriotic thing growing
boy can do is to smoke cigarettes-o or
to use tobacco in any other form. The

people, to which the common man can
take his cause with the assurance that
the decision rendered will be In &C

Judge Hill has rendered many i'm

to push Colorado high in the list of
states. He has a most profound knowl.
edge Of the law, and has also studied
the ideals. hopes and ambitions OF the
people. He fully concurred in the opn.

the Farm Loan act, which opinion was
written by Judge White, running mate
on the Democratic ticket with Judge
Filll. Since the war began Judge Hill
has found time from the heavy duties
of supreme justice to render aid to the

been willingly performed, and 1t has

Judge S. Harrison White has been
thoroughly tried and found to meas,

office. He sees clearly the basic prin

facts, thus giving each citizen, how
ever exalted or however humble. alb.
solute justice. He wrote the decision
in the Farm Loan case. upholding the
validity Of the statute. This must
have been particularly pleasing to
Judge White, because, since the age

these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish Influenza is
identical with the epidemics Of infuen-
IA of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia.
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
flied world. Three years later there
was another flare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread vide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there Is no
reason to believe that 1t originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can "spanish Influenza" be rec
osnized7
'There is as yet no certain way In
which a single case of Spanish intlu-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9th
er hand, recognition is easy where
there is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
Intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi
nary colds. the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
10 extensively as does Influenza
"In most cases person taken sick
with Influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak. has pains In the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be

with this comes fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative

''In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
