Testing PIeurIsx With Coins.

A novel method of diagnosing pleur-
lsy Is described by P. Lereboullet in
the Paris Medical. The examiner ap-
plies his ear to the patients chest,
closing his other ear, while coins are
cinked at the patients back. The
sound Of the coins coming through
healthy, normally aerated lung seems
distant and dull, while through an af-
fected lung, through solid or homo
geneous tissue a clear, silvery, metal
lie ring is heard.

NEW FOOD REGULATIONS.

General orders" in the interest of
food conservation have been issued
by Herbert Hoover, Federal food adj
ministrator, to the proprietors of all
public eating houses, effective Octo-
Der 21st. Every restaurant, from
the high-priced hotel down to the
dairy lunch and the boarding house
table d'hote, will come within the
purview Of these orders. Mr.. Hoo
yer says that if the instructions are
carefully followed there will be foods
enough of all kinds to meet the
wants of the American people and
permit the expectation of all that is
required by the allies, thus contrib
uting materially to the early winning
of the war. And he proposes to see
to it that they are carefully observ-
ed. Amy restaurant caught disre-
garding them will be held guilty Of
wasteful practices under the food
control act and its food supplies will
be cut off.
Mr.. Hoover's general orders" di-
rect that only Victor bread, contain
ing at least 20 per cent of wheat
flour substitute, shall be served and
that not more than two ounces of it
shall be given with each meal. This
means two slices of medium thick
ness. The patron can substitute
cornbread, mullins, Boston brown
bread or so per cent rye bread and
get four ounces with meal if he de-
sires.
Hereafter chops, sweetbreads, etc,
when served will oppose directly up |
on the platter. They will not rest
upon tempting slices of bread or on
toast; garnitures of that sort are for
hidden. Likewise bacon as a gayri-
ture is under the ban. The appe.rz-
ing rasher served with a steak to give
zest to the taste is gone for the per-
iod Of the war.
1t is made a hard and fast rule
that no bread shall be placed upon
the table until after The first course
is served. The reason for this IS OBJ
vious. A great many people are IN
clined to nibble at crusts while wait
ing for the dinner to come on, and ir
this way much more than the Der
capita allowance of bread might be
consumed. One kind Of meat is all
that may be served to any patron at
q meal No more may he order an
entree to be followed by roast.
There is nothing in general orders"
20 preclude the eating Of fish or oys- 1
,ers before the meat course comes
On, but there can be only one kind of
neat. And that there may be no
Misunderstanding, the food admins
lvn defines meat to include beef
mutton, pork and any, by-products Y
hereof. c
Butter portions are limited to one
lalf ounce, and the sugar bowl is !
'eremptorily ordered off the table |
n counter Each patron is entitled +
o a single teaspoonful Of sugar at a

Rev. /. B. Leonard,
Dear Sir and PASTOR
Will try and write you a few lines
this afternoon, as / have been intend
in g to write you for some time, but
just eneglected it. I hope you ar
well and enjoying health.
am sitting here in dugout with
a phone in the company's headquar-
tiers. am we'll and doing fine, but
can't say having as good time as
could be. am pretty safe, though
/ am sitting here in dugout listen
ing at all the large shells burst and
the aeroplanes fly overhead. We are
sure giving Germany plenty now.
There has been two Greene county
boys killed in this battalion that |
know of. A. Malone, out near Bailey
ton, and Will Rollins, from the Cove.
All the boys are willing to do their
bit.
The portion of the country that
we are in now is fine place. The
French people are nice people. They
do lots of things for us soldiers. The
French are so far behind the United
States, though I think they have the
old-time ways of farming. For in
stance, they have the old threshers
that are pulled by horses walking
over rollers. Their principal crops
are wheat, potatoes, beets and hops.
The hops are used to make beer,
which is plentiful over here. Their
houses and barns are built all to-
gether. They generally live in small
villages. The houses are generally
built like this diagram omitted, or
built in square with house in rear.
The Y. M. G. A. is a great help
to us boys. We have chaplain with
each battalion. The chaplain looks
after the burial of the dead and lee
lures to us when we are in rest
camp. The Y. M. c. A. and Red
Cross are great help in this war.
Mr.. Leonard, I am trying to live
the best / can, but there are lots OF
temptations in the army. Guess you
are still the pastor at Pisgah. Are
your boys in the war, any of them?
Mr.. Leonard, ] am a volunteer for
old Greene county and / am proud
of it. OF course, no one likes war,
but just think khat we are fighting
for and l am sure we will win, for
God is on our side. Tell everybody |
hello for me in Greeheville. Will be
pleased to hear from you.

WHY FRINGE NEEDS WHEAT

France never did produce all the

was about 80 per cent of the normal
consumption. In 1917 the production
was but As per cent of the normal pro-

After deducting the amount neces-
sary for seed, it is estimated that the
1917 production will be one-third

France cannot economic on food as
much more than usual as we can in the
United States because her food con-
sumption has always been very close
to her actual food necessities. They

habits of growing their own garden

fallen to between 60 and 70 per cent
The rations of the French soldiers
has been cut twice. A soldiers ration
is never lowered until the danger at
home from food shortage far outweighs
the damage the same lack can do at
the front.
England, who needs food badly, con.

that she shares her scanty supply of
wheat with France.

TO TAKE CATTLE AND
HOG CENSUS OCT. Is
Pupils of Public Schools to Record
Number and Age of These Farm
Animals in Wisconsin.

A census of hogs and cattle is to be
taken in Wisconsin on Oct. 18th at
the request of the U. S. Food Admin
istration. This work will be done by
the public schools under the supervi.
sion of the County Superintendent of
schools and supervising teachers as.
sisted by County Food Administrators
and County Agricultural Agents. The
teachers will return the completed
census blanks to the County Superin-
tendents who in turn will mail them
direct to the Wisconsin Division of
the Food Administration at the State
Capitol in Madison.
All the cattle and hogs living on
this date are to be counted and re-
corded by the school children. Partic-
ular care will be taken to get also the
number for the same date last year.
In dividing up the districts among
different pupils, the teachers must be
sure that no two scholars take the
same farm and that no animals are
recorded twice.
Blanks of instruction for taking the
census will be sent to the County Su-
perintendents for distribution among
all the teachers.
The pupils must enter the number
of each class of hogs and cattle for
every owner in the proper column of
the report blank and the total at the
bottom of each page.
Dairy cattle are to include all ami
mails that are kept for purposes of
producing milk for human USE Dairy
COWS are all females that have begun
to produce milk, no matter what their
age may be.
All hogs are to be counted, and if
there is any question as to the ages
recorded, those that are planned for
killing within the next four months
should be entered as over six months
old.

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and a 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 infiuen-
IA of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1917. 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
flied world Three years later there
was another fiare-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
h. or thnt Gnrmn
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can spanish Influenza" be rec
ognized?
There is as yet no certain way In
which a single case Of Spanish infiu-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand. recognition is easy where
there is a group of cases. In contrast
TO the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics 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 COLTS. the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
iy, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
SO extensively as does influenza
"In most cases q person taken sics
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains In the
ewes. ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever In which the
Temperature rises to 100 to 1O4- 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
NAV be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
OF a cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
I'm addition to the appearance and
the SYMPTOMS as already described,
examination of the patients blood may
aid the physician in recognizing Span.
ish Influenza, for IL has been found
