SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan OF selling foodstuTs
owned by householders. sIor is there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite OF this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly 10 issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafters. who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
md preserving pmcticed on greater
scale than ever before In the nations
history. officials In Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives tha' foods so saved nre
theirs. and theirs alone.

FASTENED RUSSIAN COLLAPSE

Russia collapsed, not because Of the
Germans on her borders, but because
she failed to organize and feed her

tion announced
I'VE must be warned that II we are to

not risk the collapse Of another Of our
associates in this war from this cause

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The lol7 wheat crop In France was
less than half normal. using the crop
Iof 1918 as q basis OF comparison.
There was shortage Of 176,0O0,0 900
bushels. or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third OF nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit Of 67.9 per cent Her meat
herds In the early fall showed short
age OF $4,000 animals.
Those are a few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates In
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face TO face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat In the war.

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $200,00O,000 toward the cost Of
that nations war bread. That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. Incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought In markets of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This Is turned over to
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds TO sell at Is cents
The two pound loaf costs cents. and
the one pound loaf sells for 8 cents
In milling. however, IA per cent
more -four Is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there is COM
pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent
and an allowable adulteration OF so
per cent
Compared with American bread. the
British product is only about 65 per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger extrac-
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 10
cents. 49,. t

SPANISH INFLUENZA
Prof. MaeCurdy of College Tells Of
This Disease.

1t IS very important that all avail
able knowledge Of this disease be
given the public in order to prevent
as far as possible the spread of the
disease. Surgeon General Blue of
the Public Health Service has sug-
gested in a bulletin some methods of
It's control The cause, transmission,
quarantine, diSinfection, and general
measures are briefly as follows:
Infectious Agent (cause) - The
bacillus influenza Of Pfeiffer.
Sources of lnfection-Thc secre-
tous Of the nose, throat and respir-
atory passages Of cases or Of carriers.
lncubating Period One to four
days; generally two.
Mode Of Transmission-By direct
contact; or Indirect contact through
the use Of handkerchiefs, common
towels. cnps, mess gear. or other
objects contaminated with fresh Sc
cretions Droplet Infection plays an
important part.
Period of Communicability-
long as the person harbors the caus-
ative organism an the respiratory
tract
Methods of Contrci-Care of the
infected individual and his environ
ment
Recognition Of the Disease-By
clinical manifestations and bacterio-
logical findings. Usually grip" fol-
lowed by pneumonia
Isolation-Bed ISOLATION of the in
fected individuals during the course
of the disease. The attendant should
wear a gauze mass
nization-Vaccines are used
with only partial success.
Quarantine-Dif Difficult and imprac-
ticable except as indicated under
transmission, isolation, disinfection
ard general measures.
Concurrent Disinfection - Destroy
by disinfection che discharges from
the mouth, nose, throat and other
respiratory passages.
Terminal Disinfection - Thorough
cleansing, airing, and Summing. The
causative organism is short lived out
side of the host.
General Measures - During cpl
denies avoid as far as possible crowd
ed rooms, street cars, etc. The dan
gers are greatly increased by promis-
cuous coughing and splitting. Patients
should be treated in well ventilated,
warm rooms, in orcer to avoid the
development Of broncho-pneumonia
