1 could not accomplish what I de-

the woman's point of view. l found
that there is no hope for women in

Japanese women have been so long
oppressed by this kind of teaching that
they no longer stop to ask why. They
are afraid like slaves. Then 1 began
to read the Bible. / did not like some

Peter? He was fine. He had a wife,
he understood women. One can see
that from his epistles.
when l read the gospels found
that Jesus made no distinction between
the sexes. I liked that. We are all,
women as we'll as men. children of

The Influenza Relapse.

Whether not Rock Island is officially placed

the individual is clear. Everyone owes it to him

sociares and 70 the public generally to exercise every
reasonable precaution to prevent the spread Of con-
tagfon Certainly TO one will needessly expose him
self and decent consideration for the rights Of others
should make US equally careful about putting
fellows IN danger.
Influenza IS dangerous That has been made
plain to everyone Its greatest menace lies in the
readiness with which first stages it seems TO
WELD 70 treatment It is the relapse which nine
times out Of ten proves fatal.
A couple OF weeks ago Rock Island had the cpl
denic weu in hand and then extraordinary precau-
tIons were relaxed Lately the number of cases has
been steadily increasing The danger is not over.
by any means There may be a relapse. It is up to
each Of US to guard against it. Rules Of the state
board Of health should be studied and observed,
Above all, those who are I'll should lose time IN
getting medical attention and if they find they
suffering from influenza they should isolate them
selves 50 far as possible and avoid appearing pub
lie till they are sure danger is past.
Simple. common sense precautions are all that

4 Tendency Toward Tuberculosis.
Every little while reader
writes that his doctor has exam
ined his chest and told him that
he must take care of himself. fer
he has a tendency to tuberculosis
in one lung, and the reader wants
ia know what he had better do
about il.
! have studied this thing hard
and l am bound to confess that l
don't know, 1t is difficult enough
to make a diagnosis of actual in
cipient tuberculosis of the lung
tuberculosis in the first stage.
When it comes TO diagnosing a ten
dency to the disease l must turn
the patient over TO a better doctor
AS l have encountered tubercu-
lOsis. either the patient had the
disease OF he did not have it or l
was unable to determine whether
he had it or not.
There are plenty OF occasions
when l have been unable to de-
termine whether the patient had
the disease or not. In such a pre-
dicament, what is a doctor TO do?
There is but one thing for him t..
do. He may tell the patient frank
~ that he is in doubt and unable
To form an opinion without further
observation and examination of the
patient. Ii the patient IS unable 10
appreciate what that means it
WOULD be just as well for all con-
cerned for the patient T. seek the
opinion Of some other doctor.
No man is so expert in diagnosis
that he cannot err. The diagnosis
of incipient pulmonary tuberculo-
sis is a matter of professional opin-
ion and not a thing that can be
settled absolutely by any particu-
lar test.
Still there is no excuse for dis
