Mrs. Zebu. ut always helps . crea-

Tor you because you're a xebu."
Then pray explain yourself, for you
aren't very clear. In fact" Mrs. Zebu
added, I've not the faintest idea what
you're talking about"
I'm sorry for you," Mr.. Zebu said,
because your horns are not nearly rs
big as mine. In fact your horns are
quite small and they aren't straight as
they should be. All Mrs. Zebus should
have straight horns"
'eYou know full well why they aren't
straight" Mrs. Zebu said GROSSLY.
TIN not so sure whether I do or
not" Mr.. Zebu answered. "And be-
cause I'm not sure you'd better tell me
20 will really know"
II hurt my horns on the bars Of my
zoo yard. Many Of us have done the
same. We get angry with the people
outside and 30 we bang against the
bars and our horns get bent and
crooked

Mr.. Zebu.

Mrs. Zebu. "They were Jealous of my

Zebu. They're all right now though"
she continued. 1T only takes them a
day or so to get over their jealousy.
They tried to shove me and push me
out Of the way, but now they're friend

stricken during the recent outbreak In

How can one guard against influ-
enza7
"In guarding against disease OF all
kinds, ii Is important that the body be
kept strong and able TO fight Off dis
ease germs. This can be done by hay-
ing a proper proportion Of work, play
and rest, by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole
some and properly selected food. In
connection with diet, 1t is well to re
member that milk is one Of the best
alI-around foods obtanable for adults
as well as children. SO far as a dis
ease like Influenza is concerned, health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation, between its spread
and overcrowded homes. While It is
not always possible, especially in
times like the present, to avoid such
overcrowding people should consider
the health danger and make every
effort to reduce the home overcrowd-
ing to a minimum. The value Of fresh
air through open windows cannot be
over emphasized.
"When crowdlng is unavoidable, as
in street cars, care should be taken to
keep the face so turned as not to in

should keep out of crowds and stuffy
places as much as possible, keep
homes, offices and workshops well
aired, spend some time out Of doors

ticable-in short, make every possible

was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epldemics OF the dis

of Influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
llized world. Three years later there
was another lare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
| ly over the United States
Although the present epidemic is
! called Spanish influenza there is no
reason TO believe that II originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at

mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can Spanish influenza" be rec
ognized7
There is as yet no certain way I'm
which single case of Spanish Influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9th
er hand, recognition is easy where
there is IA group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of influenza

Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely In Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case of oldi-
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
so extensively as does influenza
I'm most cases a 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
sore all over Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tents complain of feeling chilly. and
with this comes a fever in which the
temperature rises to roo to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative.
ly slow.
"ln appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con
gested, as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough These signs
Of a cold may not be marked; never

symptoms disappear after three or four

this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics of infiuen-

What causes the disease and how Is
Il spread7
"BacterlolOgists who have studied In
fiuenza epidemics In the past have
found In many OF the cases very
Small rod-shaped germ called, after it's
dlscoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other
, cases of apparently the same kind OF
| disease there were found pneumococci,
the germs OF lObar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto-
coccl, and by others germs with long
names.
mo matter what particular kind OF
germ causes the epidemic, 1t is now
believed that influenza Is always
spread from person to person, the
germs being carried with the air along
with the very small droplets Of mucus,
expelled by coughing or sneezing,
forceful talking. and the like by one
who already has the germs of the dis
ease They may also be carried about
in the air In the form of dust coming
from dried mucus. from coughing and
sneezing or from careless people who
spit on the floor and on the sidewalk.
AS in most other catching diseases,
rh, hoe nj n mild ut of
the disease himself may give a very
severe attack to others"
What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
1T Is very important that every per
son who becomes sick with influenza
should go home at once and go to bed.
This will help keep away dangerous
complications and will, at the same
time, keep the patient from scattering
the disease far and wide, II is highly
desirable that no one be allowed TO
sleep in the same room with the pa
tient. In fact, no one but the nurse
should be allowed in the room.
"If there is cough and sputum or
running of the eyes and nose, care
should be taken that all such dis
charges are collected on bits of gauze
or rag or paper napkins and burned.
If the patient complains of fever and
headache, be should be given water to
drink, a cold compress to the forehead
and light sponge Only such medi-
cine should be given as is prescribed
by the doctor II is foolish to ask the
druggist to prescribe and may be dan
gerous to take the so-called safe, sure
and harmless remedies advertised by
patent medicine manufacturers.
IF the patient is so situated that he
can be attended only by some one who
must also look after others in the fam
lily, 1t is advisable that such attendant |
wear a wrapper, apron or gown over
the ordinary house clothes while in the
sick room and slip this off when leav- |
