we're sickness. In most Of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish Influenza Is
identical with the epidemics of iniuen-
"a of earlier years is no yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1917. 1t Is interest
Ing TO know hat 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 owe practically the entire civ

was another flare-up of the disease.

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 ioor and on the sidewalk.
AS in most other catching diseases, a
person who has only a mild attack OF
the disease himself may give a very
severe attack to others"
What should be done by those who
catch the disease7
ut Is very important that every per-
son who becomes sick witt 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.
"lf 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
o" rag or paper napkins and burned.
If the patient complains of fever and
headache, he should he given water to
drink, IA cold compress to the forehead
and u light sponge. Only such medl-
cine shOuld be given as is prescribed
by the doctor. 1t is foolish TO ask the
druggist to prescribe and may he 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 he attended only by some One who
must also look after others in the fam
lily, 1t is advisable that such attendant
wear n wrapper, apron or gown over
the ordinary house clothes while in the
sick room and slip this Off when leav-
ing TO ook after the others.
Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing in danger
Gus disease germs by wearing a simple
fold Of gauze or mask while near the
patient"
Will a person who has had Influenza
before catch the disease again?

although the present epidemic is

reason TO believe hat II originated In

Senator Warren, by reason of his long service
in the National Congress-, occupies a position and
Yields an influence which could not be duplicated by
any other citizen of Wyoming, without previous ex-
perience and service.
Senator Warren is now in Washington giving
his attention to National matters concerned with the
winning of the war. His services are needed there
and he is too faithful and patriotic to leave those OBJ
vious duties to come home and take any part in the
political campaign. He is engaged with important
work which would be entirely outside the capabilities
of a new and inexperienced man, and every citizen
of Wyoming, regardless of his political leanings,
should realize that. the greatest service Wyoming
can do in giving assistance and cooperation to the
National Administration in these strenuous times,
and in the period of restoration and rehabilitation
which will follow the war, is to cast his or her vote
for an experienced, influential and useful man to
represent us in the National Congress. EXPERT
ENCE AND USEFULNESS ARE WHAT WILL
COUNT IN H DOUBTFUL YEARS TO COME.
In a recent issue of The Salt Lake City Tribune
that paper calls attention to Mr.. Warren's war rec
ord and his remarkable services to the State of Wyo-
ming and the Nation, and points out the plain duty
that Wyoming owes to the Nation in returning to
the United States Senate this man of stalwart worth
who has given and will continue to give to President
Wilson his able assistance in carrying on this right
eous war to an end where victory, complete and alb
solute, may be accomplished.
The true and faithful citizens of this great State
will not consider political preferences or other petty
motives in making their choice for United States
Senator-they will consider the one great and patri-
otto motive-THE NATION NEEDS THE SERV-
ICES OF SENATOR F. E. WARREN.

The Water Situation.

Upon investigating the water situ'
alton, the following is about the status
OF affairs. The Council had proceeded
so far as to have the flow of water
from the Spring street we'll tested;
the reports of the cost of making the
test have been exaggerated; they ap-
pointed committee to ascertain the
location and cost of lot suitable for
q reservoir. They received the re-
port Of the engineer as to the feasi-
bility and cost of the proposed adj
dition. The Council have been doing
what they consider best, but notwith-
standing this fact, the people OF the
town are. mot willing that the present
pure water be mixed with water which
hydraulic engineers assure them can
be made ''just as good"
The present supply Of water is as
pure as any in the state, and In the
opinion of the writer. should not be
subjected to the experiment of having
mixed with 1t hard water-the drain
age of cesspools and cemeteries. even
1t engineers assure US that they can
make 1t pure. Even If they could do
so, the people doubt whether they
would do so at all times. Everyone
knows that important work IS often
neglected, and If the application of
costly scientific purifiers should be
the result might be fatal
The people have patiently borne a
taxation amounting to $50, 600, in
order to have pure water. They now
nave it and they certainly are not
Wiling to have impure water injected
INTO it even If the hydraulic engineers
pronounce it scientifically pure. III

iced with the work, If they find that

COMMUNICATED.

/ have never known
the citizens Of Woodstock. who are
long suffering, tolerant and not in
the least given to hysteria so agitated,
as they are, and have been since they
beheld the amazing spectacle OF two
engineers, with a traction engine hired
bv the Town Council at a heavy ex-
pense to the taxpayers, testing out the
amount of water, the we'll near the
Reformed Church at Spring Hollow
would yield in given space OF time.
The question naturally was asked for
what purpose is this being done? The
reply was, that the Town Council had
under consideration project, IT the
flow of water was sufficient, to &C
quire lot on the hill west OF Wood
stock, build reservoir, install
pumping station at this we'll, from
which the water was to be pumped
into the new reservoir (No. 81 the
arteries of our present system tapped,
and the water of this germ laden we'll,
was to be injected into the pipes con-
veying our pure mountain water to be
used by our people for drinking and
cooking purposes. Naturally the
people of the town, were shocked, and
stood aghast! at the nauseating sug.
gestion; as 1t is a we'll known fact the
we'll in question is no more Or less
than the major cesspool OF the town
into which all the cesspools in south
Woodstock are tributary. The people
OF Woodstock over twenty years ago,
consented to have their property
mortgaged to put in the present water
system, and they are thankful for the
pure, soft healthful water they OBJ
tanned; the quality of which is so pure
that the death rate in the town has
fallen as low or lower than any town
in the State, and they will never con
sent to have it polluted, by the in
duction of this foul water from Spring
Hollow we'll. 1t is said thai our
present supply of water is not suf-
ficient to meet present demands. LII
this is true less water should be sold,
and our present healthful supply
should be conserved for the use OF
the men, women and children OF the
town. There has been much that was
illegal and all sorts of laundering COM
mitted in the management of our pres.
ent water system, and our people are
not IN the mood to have it further
tempered with; they will not tolerate
chemicalized eesspool pater to be substi-
tuted at great expense to the town,
for our pure mountain Dater. 1t has
been said the "Huns poison the wells
In the territory, they are forced to
give up-to deliberately poison the
source of our supply, would be criminal
stupidity similar to German diabol-
ism. But the people of this old town
want-may, demand referendum on this
most vital subject, before any further
action is taken by the town council in
the matter, and they can be depended
upon to settle the question, and settle
it right. A TAXPAYER.
