Do for Persons Sick With Spanish

Masks Recommended.

Washington.-In an effort to reduce
unnecessary calls on the over-w0rked
physicians throughout the country be-
cause Of the present epidemic OF in
fluenza, Surgeon General Blue Of the
United States public health service
calls upon the people Of the country to
learn something about the home care
Of patients Ill with influenza. Ply
slclans everywhere have complained
about the large number of unnecessary
calls they have had TO make because
Of the inability Of many people to dis
tlngulsh between the cases requiring
expert medical care and those which
could readily be cared for without a
physician. With influenza continuing
to spread In many parts Of the coun-
try, and with an acute shortage OF doc
tors and nurses everywhere, every un-
necessary call on either physicians or
nurses makes II so much harder to
meet the urgent needs of the patients
who are seriously III.
Present Generation spoiled.
"The present generation" said the
surgeon general, "has been spoiled by
having had expert medical and nursing
care readily available. II was not so
In the days Of our grandmothers, when
every good housewife was expected to
know good deal about the care Of the
sick
Every person who feels sick and
appears to be developing an attack
of influenza should at once be put to
bed in well.vcntilated room. II his
bowels have moved regularly, 1t is not
necessary to give a physic; where a
physlc is needed, dose of castor oil
or Rochelle salts should be given.
"The room should be cleared Of all
unnecessary furniture, bric-a-brac, and
rugs. A wash basin, pitcher, and slop
bowl, soap and towel should be at
hand, preferably in the room or just
outside the door.
"If the patient is feverlsh a doctor
should be called, and this should be
done In any case If the patient appears
very sick, or coughs up plnkish (blood-
staned) sputumt or breathes rapidly
and painfully.
"Most Of the patients cough up con-
siderable mucus; in some, there Is
much mucus discharged from the nose
and throat. This material should not
be collected In handkerchlefs, but
rather in bits OF old rags, or toilet pa
per, or on paper napkins. As soon as
used, these rags or papers should be
placed In paper bag kept beside the
bed. Pocket handkerchlefs are out OF
place in the sick room and should not
be used by patients. The rags or pa
pers in the paper bag should be burned
"The patients will not be hungry
and the diet should therefore be light
MIX, II soft-boiled egg, some toast or
crackers, n bit Of jelly or jam, stewed
fruit, some cooked cereal like oatmeal
homlny or rice-these will suffice In
most cases.

LOWDEN ASKS FOR
SUPPORT ON GOOD
ROAD BOND ISSUE

Springfield, Ill.-Governor Low
den has issued a statement asking
all voters of Illinois to vote yes"
on the good roads bond issue in
November. The governor urged the
$50 900, 600 bond issue as a measure
made necessary by the war He
says workingmen Of the state will
receive N wages more than $50, 0O0,-
600 of the amount during the period
of industrial readjustment after the
war.
Il am anxious that the good roads
bond issue receive the approval of
the people of the state at the cleo
ton on Nov 5, and am therefore
again calling your attention to some
of its important features" said the
governors statement "One thing
of prime Importance is that every
one should vote upon the question.
The man who does not vote upon
the proposition on the little ballot
in effect casts a vote against it. be-
cause it must receive practically a
majority of all votes cast at the
election.
While our hearts and\fortunes
are set on the winning of the war,
we know that PEACE will come uIti-
mately because we are going to win
victory that will force our
kind of peace. And when peace
comes we are going to be ready for
it, bS such wise foresight as pro-
viding for the great project of a
state system of roads, $500 miles
in extent, to be constructed in a
period of about five years with the
proceeds Of this bond issue
Right here let me remind every
voter again of the fact that all of
the mOney to pay for these bonds
and all the interest is to come from
the state automobile license fees
that already are being paid into the
state treasury under the rates al
ready fixed by the Legislature. The
proposition is one of business, sim
ply issuing bonds against the au-
tOmObile tax so that we can get the
good roads within a reasonable
time instead of building them in
disconnected sections extending
over a quarter of a century. The
automObilists of the state, the men
who paw the bills, seem to be not
only willing but anxious to stand
the expense.
ut should be repeatedly empha-
sized that the man who does not
own an automobile will not be call
ed upon to pay a cent toward the
cost, because not a dollar of taxes
Will be placed upon lands or other
property outside of motor vehicles.
But under our constitution all vot-
ers must pass upon the proposition
at the polls whether they are taxed
or not To me. it seems as though
good citizenship wiuld inspire

BOMBS BRING WAR
DOGS TO MEALS

A Dog Training Camp in France.
-(Correspondence Of the Associat-
ed Press A war dogs dinner bell
is a bomb. When all is ready for
the meal, men standing near dugout
craters close to the kennels throw
in fused hand grenades and right
and left all over the place there
are terrific explosions with clouds
of smoke and dust.
The dogs are not frightened, for
they have been taught that explo-
sions are merely the prelude to
meal. AS the grenades go off the
"dog-men" run down the line, push
ing each dogs plate of steaming
food within reach, so that all are
served at the same time.
This training teaches the dogs,
carrying messages at the front TO
pass through the heaviest barrage
without fear, believing that the
only purpose of all the racket is TO
announce his dinner Arriving with
the message at headquarters, the
dog at once finds his waiting mas
ter, who detaches the message from
the collar receptacle and immedi
e1LCIg &c w a 10 tAiC dllilLdl WIZ lOOu.
In this way communications can
be maintained with advanced ele-
ments of troops without the sacri-
fee of human life.
The advantages of a dog messen-
ger are many. The dog of course
runs much more quickly than
man messenger, and presents a far
more difficult target for enemy
snipers. In the case of small garri-
sons in outlying posts, the sending
or soldier runners seriously weak
ems the fighting power OF the unit,
besides exposing the messengers to
all the perils of a fire-swept zone.
Experience has proved that COM
bination of dog and carrier pigeon
service is. if not more reliable than
that of the human runners, very
much more efficient.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that the dog of war be safeguarded
from all Establishments and tempta-
tons to linger among new-found
friends. for everything depends,
when he is released. upon his bolt
ing straight back with his precious
message to his master. AS food is
the reward for faithful services. no
one but the master may give the
dog even scrap Of meat.

DON'T TURN CLOCK
BACK OCT. 81, BUT
STOP TT ONE HOUR

Chicago.-When the nation yaWns
and takes an extra hours sleep on
Oct. 27, the date set for ending the
daylight-saying season, there is
grave danger of causing a great
waste in the clock making industry.
There must be no turning back
the hands of the clock, time-record-
ing experts declare in a warning to
the public. Such action would fair
ly shatter the morale of the time
recording and master clocks and
all clocks striking the hours and
would require the services of an
army Of repair men. thus causing
an unnecessary waste of man
power.
Clocks should be stopped for one
hour at 2 a. N. on Oct. 27; the
hands should not be turned back"
SAID Charles II. Crooks of the Gin
cinnati Time Recorder company.
There are approximately 10000
time recorders and 10000 master
and controlling clocks in Chicago,
and if these were turned back the
resulting trouble call would
swamp every repair man in the
city. The same conditions apply
to other cities"
The time service department of

better plan.
