Rules to Observe Given by the
Surgeon General Of the Unit
ed States Army.

Spanish Influenza" is a serious
matter, and something of a mystery.
1t probably originated in the ranks
of the German army and in prison
camps. It no doubt spread from there
southwark through Spain and north
ward into Holland, France, England
and the Scandinavian countries.
America was free from it until Au-
gust 18th when a Norwegian steamer
arrived at an Atlantic port, having
over 200 cases on the voyage. Wheth-
er this marks the entry of the epiden1-
ic or not, the fact remains that "Span-
ish Influenza" is here and is serious
menace, much like the familiar grippe
that was epidemic in 1898-9O only
! it came from Russia.
The disease is not alarming in it
self if proper precautions sre taken
cut without cure, the high fever, and
the likelihood Of pneumonia to follow
make it extremely dangerous. The
Surgeon General of the Army issued
recently the following rules by which
the public may guard against the
spread of this subtle disease.
! /. Avoid needless crowding -influ-
enza is crowd disease.

First Victory Boys Work.

"Say, I'm wise to you, all right" a
Western Union messenger boy whis-
pered to one Of the directors of the
United War Work Campaign in the
New York headquarters. The direc-
tors desk had only just been moved
in and the work Of the big drive had
hardly begun.
I'm onto your stunt" the boy went
on as he swung grimy fist over the
desk: you're goin' to give us fellows
that amt old enough to 60 to war a
chance to earn an give to back ND a
fighter an help win the war. Listen :
I'm in on this"
The crumpled IS bill he dropped On
the desk made him the first of "a mil.
lion boys behind a million fighters
who are to be lined up as Victory Boy,
during the week Of the drive.
There will be division of Victory
Girls, too, and every boy and eyery

German Concerns Will Be Sold to
Americans.

Announcement that the great Ger
man woolen mills Of New Jersey and
other large manufacturers throughout
the country, with an aggregate value
Of more than $2OO,O0O,OO0 will be
sold within the next two months to
Americans was the answer Friday of
A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property
custodian, to the recent note from the
German government protesting
against disposition of former Teuton-
owned interests in the United States.
German property seized in this
country totals $8OO,OOO,O00 and will
soon reach 81 600, 100000 as compared
with $14,OOO,OOO worth Of American
interests taken over in Germany, Mr..
Palmer said. In line with the gov
ernment's policy of wiping out all the
"outposts of kultur" in the United
States, he added, the former German
companies will be sold only to per-
sons who can satisfy the advisory
committee of the alien property Office
Of their Americanism.
Chief of the manufacturers to be
placed upon the auction block are the
Passaic, N. j., Woolen Mills, valued at
$50, 0,0O0, 900, principal among them the
great Botany worsted mills whose ap-
praisal at $14,OOO,OOO has just been
completed. The Bayer company, one
of the country's leading makers OF
pharmaceutical products, and the
Heyden Chemical Co.

Others do not want the germs which
you would throw away.
3. Your nose, not your mouth, was

4. Remember the three C's, clean

5. Try to keep cool when you walk

6. Open the windows-always at
home at night-at the office when
practical.
Z. Your fate may be in your own
hands-wash them before eating.
9. Don't let the waste products OF
indigestion accumulate in the body.
10. Don't use napkin, towel,
spoon, fork, glass, cup or dish which
has been used by another person and
not washed.
Note especially rule No. 9, which
says keep the waste matter moving
from the body. There is no better
preparation to be secured than Dreco,
to Keep the bowels and the kidneys

from the juices and extracts Of roots,
herbs, barks, and berries and is ger
fectly harmless but quick in its ac-

cause he would have to wait until the
blood was reduced. As wife was
badly needed at home she decided to
leave me in care Of the Life Line
Home. In few days the doctor
came to the home and removed nv
tonsils and said he hoped that they
would bleed good. It took about
twelve hours before they began to
bleed very much. But in the night
awoke with my mouth full of blood.

was as black as tar. / then called a
young man in from the next room
and he talked about it little while
and knowing the doctor he said that
he wanted it to bleed well. We did
not call doctor, but was quite un-
easy, but stuck it out until morning.
The next morning my throat was
pretty sore but got along nicely. In

tors for more treatment, which
kept up for another week. My head,

FROM E. c. PYLE

Dear Editor:
desire to write an article for the
paper. Wife and ! left Arkalon on
August 18th for Kansas City or Hot
Springs, Arkansas, we hardly knew
which. A few days before / left, |
was talking with Charles Summers.
He gave me the name of DR.. Duke Of
Kansas City and advised me to go
and see him. We arrived in Kansas
City, looked up DR.. Duke and went to
his office and laid my case before
him. He placed a rubber bandage
around my arm to test my blood tenn
perature and drew some blood from
my veins with syringe. He called
two of his other doctor associates to
see my condition. One of them re-
marked that he had never seen any
thing like it. Then they took my
wife into a separate room and ques-
toned her about my disease. They
had a name for it but l could not tell
what it was now, but he said that he
could not do anything for me and for
my wife to take me home and make
me as comfortable as possible, so we
supposed that was the thing to do, but
as we knew of the Life Line Rescue
Home and have been reading their
little paper for several years, we de-
cided we would visit the home before
we returned. When we arrived at
the home we found Brother and Sis
ter Coe, the superintendent and Mat
ron of the home, not present but was
taken in and entertained by their
daughter until they returned. We
were introduced to them and made
our errand known. We told them
what the doctor had said. Sister Coe
spoke up and said she knew doctor
that was a specialist and she thot he
could help me and if he could not he
would not charge anything for the ex-
animation. So we decided to see the
doctor. The next day we were taken
to the doctors office and he placed a
rubber bandage around my arm to
test my blood temperature, which he
said was very high. 1t tested 1856.
He then took syringe and drew some
blood from my veins and said that he
would let me know by phone the next
day what he could do. So we re-
turned to the home and was told to
make ourselves at home, which we
did. The next day the doctor phoned
and said that he would like to have
me come to his office again. He ex-
amined my tonsils and said they were
my main trouble and that they were
badly diseased and that they would
have to be taken out, but that he
would have to reduce my blood be-
fore they could be removed. He in
jected some medicine into my arm to
reduce the blood temperature and or
dered me to come back to the Office
the next day, which did. He said
the next day he would come to the
home to draw some blood from my
veins. He placed a rubber bandage
around my arm once more to draw
the blood. It was SO thick that it
would hardly run. He drew about
pint Of blood this time. It made me
quite sick, but the next day / went
to his Office for more treatment. He
said that he could not tell what day

LETTER FROM E. S. HACKNEY
Somewhere in France,

August IL, 1918.
Dear Laura and Ada and All the Rest
of the Folks:
When you spoke about Ada and
Gertie going out to cook for harvest
hands / wondered if you would like
to help harvest over here. The fields
are small, six or seven acres being
about the average size, and. are all
sorts of shapes. A square field is
very rare and they are always in
closed by hedge and a ditch.
don't know what the bitches are for.
have never seen any water in them.
The hedges seem to be for artistic
effect as they would not keep any,
thing out or in. Wheat, oats and bar
ley are the principal grains and they
grow very rank. The whole family
goes out to harvesting, little, old
and young-and everyone will have
a bottle of wine under his arm and
sometimes loaf of bread. The grain
is cradeled and bound by hand.
think the most of their threshing is
done with fail as | have seen only
one threshing machine and it was not
much larger than a coffee grinder.
| don't get to see much of Bill Car
roll, but we happened to be together
last Sunday and we went over to the
Y. M. and listened to a sermon by
Chaplain Blackman of this regiment
and afterward we had a nice long
visit. He said to tell you that he was
going to write to you soon. The rose
which Ada sent came thru fine and !
showed it to Bill and sure made him
wish he was back in Liberal for a
good Sunday dinner. Stanley has
actually been working here of late in
spite of the fact that he has great
aversion to that kind of sport.
have been pretty busy myself but it is
work that / like because / feel like
/ was accomplishing something. There
is nothing more tiresome than day af-
ter day of foot drill and my work
here is very welcome change.
/ have the best little buddy in the
army now. When we are out on de-
tail we bunk together and when we
are not busy we put on a few de-
tails of our own. We stayed out in
the pine woods together few nights
ago and had a dandy time. We had
our issue of grub but we felt like we
needed something else so we pro-
cured some milk and eggs thru the
agency of French boy and had a
real feast. We built a fire and
pitched our pup tent and then made
a bed of pine needles and ferns which
beat any feather bed you ever saw.

The 1918 Class

After period Of only three
months the class of 1918 finds itself
scattered from one end of Kansas to
the other, and from Oklahoma to
Colorado.
Six are now found at Manhattan
attending X. S. A. Clara Evans,
Harley Burns, Loyal Patton, John
Heaton, Louie Lemert, and Foster

John-will take advantage of the
military training offered at the col
lege.
Harold Bragg is attending Kansas
University, Mabel Burt is at Boulder
in the University Of Colorado,
Blanche Brown has entered the Col
lege of Emporia, and Carl Schneider
has entered the Mcpherson.
Orlo Rolo is at Ottawa in the Uni
versity, and Edgar Baker is at the

One member of the class-Sam
Woods-is already in Uncle Sans
service at Vancouver, Wash. Mart
Baker, while waiting for his call, is
working on the farm. John Wooden
and Harvey Burns are also helping
win the war by practicing "back to
the farm" policy.
Several of the girls are teaching
school-Effie Farmer, Osa Freeman,
and Pauline Hancock. Ruth Anthony
is teaching music.
Winona Day and Margaret Nc

The importance Of the Spanish
language is being recognized more
than ever before. Students are no
longer taking Spanish to meet the
requirements in college alone. There
is practical value especially to the
people in the southern and western
part Of the United States. Business
men realize their need of means
Of communication with Spanish
speaking people. Telephone compan-
