So far as q dts ease like influenza Is concerned, health authorities everywhere recognize the very close relation between Its spread and overcrowded homes. While 1t is not always possible, especially in times like the present. to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowd- ing to a minimum.

in the head, eyes, ears. back or other parts of the body and a feeling of ss- were sickness. In most of the casss the symptoms disappear after three or four days the patient then rapidly recover inG. Some of the patients, however. lsvsaop 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 inhuen- xa of earlier years Is not yet known.
 "Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since l847. It 10 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 ID the Orient, spread first to Russia and thence over practically the entire c1y- ilized world. Three years later thers was another nare-up of the disease Both times the epidemic spread wide ay over the United States.
 Although the present epidemic A called Spanish influenza there Is no reason to believe that it originated in Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that the epidemic came from the Orient and they call at. tentisn 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" bs rec egnixsd,
 There Is as yet no certain way h which single case of Spanish innu- enza' can be recognized. On the oth. CT 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. epidemics of induensA may occur al 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- uuty SotuS, ttc ktheIhi symptoms (fsver. 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 sprssd through the community so rapidly os Q extensively as does influenza.
 'In 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 bs sore all over Many patients feel dizzy. some vomit Most of the pa tients complain of feeling chilly, asd with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to lO4 In most cases the pulse remains relative ly slow.
 'ln appearance one 10 struck by the fact that the patient looks sick His eyes and the inner side of hfs syelids may be slightly 'bloodshot.' or con- gestsd.' as the doctors cay.
