There was a time-and 1t was only as lOng ago as the last century, too when the Irish travelled about their country on odd little cars. They were called 'Iong cars" and they were not very different, really from the "out- side cars'' which are still commonly used in Ireland. But the outside car carries no more than two persons on seats. while the long car carried some times as many as sixteen passengers in all. The luggage was piled up in tha middle.

You have heard of shortest rail- roads before. Always they're the most abbreviated ever. But Off-hand one would grant the prize to Missoula, Mont. It has a railroad only 100 feet long. It connects the Northern Pacific with the G., M. X St. F., and is used as a transfer. It has no equipment, no employees, and no stations, yet the company that owns it gets 90 cents for every car that passes over its rails. Sixteen thousand have done so thus far.

Army, Navy, City and State Ply
sicians Prepare Instructions to

tions for the guidance Of the public
during the present epidemic of infiu-
enza. Their statement, including the
instructions, follow:
We are confronted by an epidemic
of influenza which will affect more
than half Of our population in all prob
ability. There is a shortage OF physi-
clans, nurses, and hospital accommo-
dations. The health and efficiency Of
the civilian population must be main
tanned. It is the patriotic duty Of ev-
cry citizen to avoid influenza and KEEP
In good health. To avoid influenza:
avoid contact with other people SO
far as possible. Especially avoid
crowds indoors, in street cars, thea
tres, motion picture houses, and other
pisces Of ofsDu1kc,assemblage.
Avoid persons suffering from "coldss
sore throats and coughs.
"Avoid chilling Of the body or living
In rooms of Temperature below 65 de-
grees or above q.
"Sleep and work In clean, fresh air.
keep your hands clean and keep
them out Of your mouth.
avoid expectOrating In public
plAcss and see that others do likewise.
9Avoid tho sick
.Hat plain, nourishing food and
avoM alcoholic stimulants.
Cover your nose with your hand
kefchief when you sneeze, your mouth
when your cough Change handker-
chiefs frequently. Promptly disinfect
soiled handkerchiefs by boiling or
washing with soap or water.
DON'T worry, and keep your feet
warm. Wet feet demand prompt at
tention. Wet clothes are dangerous
and must be removed as soon as pos
sihle.
What to Do for Influenza and Colds.
"Oftentimes 1t is impossible to tell
a cold from mild influenza. There
fore:
"If you get a cold, go to bed in a
we'll ventilated room. Keep warm.
Keep away from other people. Do
not kiss anyone Use individual ba-
sins, and knives. forks, spoons, towels,
handkerchiefs. soap, wash plates, and
cups.
Every case of influenza should go
ito bed at once under the care Of q
physician. The patient should stay in
bed at least three days after fever has
disappeared and until convalesence is
well established.
The patient must not cough or
sneeze except when a mask or hand
kerchief is held before the face.
He should be in warm, we'll ven
tilated room.
There is no specific for the disease.
Symtoms should be met as they arise.
The great danger is from pneumo-
mia. Avoid it by staying in bed while
actually i'll and until convalesence is
fully established.
The after effects of influenza are
worse than disease. Take care OF
yourself.
Strictly observe the state and city
rules and regulations for the control
of influenza.
