Wheat Saving Enormous.

When the Food Administration be-

this country was facing large deficit
In wheat. Counting In all carry-oVer
wheat from the 1916 crop. we had at
the beginning OF the 1917 harvest year
lust enough wheat to take care OF
Americas normal consumptlon,-not q
bushel of surplus
At the close OF the 1918 harvest
year the Food Administrations oinciaI
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments to the other side had been
l41 100000 bushels. Every eushel
shipped was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms Of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations were
$40, 800, 900 bushels, S0,900,00O bushels
more than the amount sent In 1901.
Included in these figures are 13,soO,'
| 600 bushels Of rye and the 14l, OOO,OOO
! hushels Of saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on US
10, 600 900 bushels of prime breadstunA
"These figures do not fully convey
the volume of the effort and sacrincs
made during the past year by the
whole American people," the Food Ad-
mInistrator wrote. II am sure that
all the millions of our people, agricul'
turaI az we'll as urban, who have con
tributed to these results should feel
very definite satisfaction that In

In the head eyes, ears, back or other
parts Of the body and 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 influen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1917. Il 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
ilized world. Three years later there
was another tlare-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 it originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention 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" be rec
ognized?
There is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish inau-
enZa' can be recognized. On the 9th
err 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 colds, the general symptoms
(fever, 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 spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
N toll c.,
with influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, 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 fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
an 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
may 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.
in addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described,
examination of the patients blood may
aid the physician in recognizing Span
Ssh influenza, for 1t has been found
