In the head, eyes, ears back or other
parts of the body and feeling of Sc
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 lnfluen-
"a 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
ilized world Three years later there
was another flare-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 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 REQ
ognized7
There is as yet no certain way in
which single case of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition is easy where
there Is group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epldemics 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
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 yomlt Most Of the pa
tients complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 10 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
I'm appearance one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of HIS eyellds
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 cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick
On addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described,
examination of the patients blood may
aid the physician in recognizing Span

Protein and Its Value.

Every farmer knows that nitrogen is
one of the chemical elements which
neither his crops nor his stock can do
without. The same Is true of nitrogen
in human food. 1t is absolutely nee
essary for the building and repair of
body tissues and can be obtained only
from the food substance or nutrient
known as protein.
The foods usually classed as rich in
protein are milk, cheese, eggs, meat
poultry and fish; dried legumes, such
as peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans
and peanuts. Wheat, onts and some
other cereals also furnish considerable
protein.
A man at moderate muscular work
is believed to need about three and
one-half ounces of protein uay, and
family consisting Of father, mother
and three small children needs about
twelve ounces u day. Real economy
in the use of protein foods lies not in
leaving them out of the diet, but in
choosing and combining kinds which
will supply the total amount needed
as cheaply as circumstances permit.
