B, c., which Is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had its attacks. BEGINNING with
1881 this country has had five epidem-

There Is no occasion for panic-influ-
enza itself has a very low percentage

N. c. bo.rd OF health. The chief danger
lies In complications arising, attack
Ing principally patients In a rundown

soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grin, or Influenza, as 1t Is now Called
usually begins with a chill, followed by
aching. feyerishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a general
feeling Of weakness and depression
The temperature Is from 100 to l04
and the fever usually lasts from three
to FIVE days. The germs attack tht
mucous membrane or lining OF the all
passages, nose, throat and bronchla
tubes: there IS usually q hard cough
especially bad at night; oftentimes
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequentl,

cold.
THE TREATMENT

POULTRY CONVERT
WASTE INTO FOOD

CBy the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
The central thought to be borne in
mind in considering the growing of
more poultry as a war necessity Is the
fact that the keeping of poultry is
means of converting into good food
materials that cannot be utilized by
man, that cannot be eaten by any 9th
er kinds Of stock, and that, without
the poultry, would be absolute waste.
Very clearly, 1t becomes a national as
well as an individual duty to keep
enough poultry to take up all such
waste materials. AS long as fowls
take the bulk Of their feed from such
sources and require to be fed on grain
or other garnered feeds only as a fin
ishing process, additional food is being
created.
Careful planning must be done, of
course, to insure the utilization Of as
many kinds Of waste materials as pos
sible and to avoid overstocking with
any one kind Of poultry that would not
be fully fed from the particular kinds
of waste which 1t eats and would,
therefore, require to be largely fed
from garnered materials.
Chickens, in any general scheme of
poultry production, of course, must
take first place. They are best adapt
ed to general conditions, take wide
range Of feeds and convert them, per-
haps, with the greatest margin Of
profit. Chickens, better than any 9th
er class Of poultry, utilize table scraps
and the general run Of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parngs to sour milk. Chick
ems far surpass all other kinda of pOul-
try in salvaging waste grain from the
stables, from the shed or lot where the
cattle are fed, and from hog pens. Dur
ing the winter months, on farms where
any considerable number Of live stock
are kept, the 100 hens suggested
would make their living from these
sources with only slight additional
feeding from time to time. Chickens
are great destroyers Of insects, includ-
ing many injurious forms, In yard pas
ture, end orchard. They utilize, also,
many grasses and weeds, and seeds
from the same, that would otherwise
be Of no use. Except in isolated in
stances, the part Of wisdom would be,
undoubtedly, to keep more chickens
than all other kinds of poultry COM
bined, but there should be, in a ma
tority Of cases, some of all the other
common kinds Of poultry.

Germany Has Pledged to Let
Both Military and Civilian
Prisoners Have Home Help

Through the Spanish ambassador at
Berlin arrangements have been made
whereby American prisoners In Ger
many, both civilian and military, Will
be allowed to receive money from
home. They will perhaps not receive
actual cash, but will probably be given
credit on prison exchanges.
A. G) Sixty marks (about $15 at
normal exchange rates, but probably
considerably less now) may be spent
weekly by officers and others Of SIM
liar rank; (2) SO marks weekly (about
$12) by noncommiSsioned officers and
privates.
b. Civilian prisoners-(D Sixty
marks weekly "for men of better So
cial positions;" (2) so marks weekly
for others.
The note Of the Spanish ambassador
says: with view to obtaining par
ticular articles the prisoners are al
lowed at any time to draw on their
credit"
All money sent interned civilians
or prisoners should be remitted
through the Bureau Of Prisoners
Relief, American Red Cross, Washing
ton, d. G. Remittances should be
checks, drafts or postal money orders,
made payable to the American Red
Cross. That organization will do Its
best to get the remittances through
but cannot guarantee delivery. Thus
far 1t has had pretty good success, aad
such American prisoners as have al
ready or may hereafter become Ger
man prisoners will most certainly need
all the help they can get to make their
lives bearable.

Simple Remedies That Will

The nuisance OF reaches In offices

elimination Of all attractive sub

Department of Agriculture.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and If such materials can be
kept from living rooms and offices or
scrupulous care exercised to see that
no such material is placed in drawers
where 1t can leave an attractive odor
or fragments of food, the roach
nuisance can be largely restricted to
places where food necessarily must be
kept. In such places the storage Of
food material In inscct-proof contain.

ough-going cleanliness, will go a long
way toward preventing serious annoy.
ance.
Reaches as household pests may be
controlled by the use Of various pol
sons, repellents, and fumigants, and by
trapping. The more efficient of these
remedies are powders, particularly So
dium fuorid, a liberal busting Of
which about the infested premises fur
nishes an efficient means for the elm
ination of these pests. Also one part
powdered borax and three parts finely
pulverized chocolate sprinkled freely
about infested premises.
Cockroaches are the commonest and
most offensive Of the house pests.
Four kinds are often found in houses,
offices, etc. These are the American
roach, a native insects the European
or Oriental roach, known in England
as the black beetle; the Australian
roach; and the little derman roach,
commonly known in thin country as
the Croton bug.

GET USED TO SUDDEN DEATH

Capt. Leonard G. Wells Of Baltimore,
who recently permitted himself to be

and finished one of the poker players

"While the rest sat waiting for
the stretcher-bearers, the nearest
