missed and the teachers have
departed to spend the holidays
at home. Miss Farham goes to
Seattle, Miss Elkins to Molalla
and Mrs. Barzee to Roseburg.
The pupils are having a nigh old
timsl at home. The church and
Sunday school are also dismissed
and the pastor is taking a rest.
The weather is fine and the
health OF the people is good with
the exception of colds that are
common at this time of the year.
We can truly say December is
just as pleseant jas May.
We have two families that are
afflicted with Spanish Influenza.
The disease was brought from
Portland by a member of one of
the families on the 7th Of Dec
embor and the disease spread to
al The members ofthe two fam
lies, ten Persons in all, but has
not spread any farther. These
families live IL the same building
and have ibcen under quarantine
rfs'ht alcc q and they viii be kSpt
therc till al the members of the
families are well and the building
is thoroughly fumigated. | be-
lieTe the Secret in managing in
fiuanZa is TO pat the patient to
bed and keep him there till he
gets well. La grippe, or as we
call it influenza, begins with a
Chill CT chilly sensations, fever,
atlhing, sCmo times vometing,
depression, dizziness and a gem
eral feeling of weakness. The
temperature ranges from 103 TO
l04and if it goes to 106 or more
it is dangerous. The fever lasts
from three 10 five days, i you
have no complications. Go to
bed at the first symptoms, take
a Dhysic, eat plenty of nouIish-
ing food and don't worry and
keep people waiting on you. A
quiet calm is the best. This is
safest in all inflamatory diseases
Go to bed and stay there till YOU
get well. Better be in bed a
week too long than to get up a
day too socl and expose your
self. 1t is always best to call a
physician to take charge Of the
case and prevent complications
The chief danger is pneumonia
and brinchitis. The French nam.
is La grippe and the English
nama is Influenza. The new
name is Spanish Influenza. II
is the same germ in all these
cases. Many of the soldier boys
would have saved their lives had
they taken tha proper care OF
themselves.
Andrew Porter, with mis- crew
are just finishing up the prelim-
mary survey for a railroad to
deep water on the Siletz river
from the north end CT the Miller
logging road. The distance is
about fourteen miles and the
grade is one and a half per cent
The boys have now stopped work
for the holidays and will take Il
up again after Christmas. A
few more days on the south end
of the survey will complete tho
Job.
