Serg't Chellis-
The Soldier
Gives Interesting Talk at the
Temple Theatre.

Before a crowd which taxed the
capacity of Temple Theatre, Wednes-
day evening, Sergeant Walter l..
Chellis of Headquarters Company,
125th Infantry gave some first-hand in
!. formation relative to our own Company
f''I" and the part they are taking in the
lorld war.
Sergeant Chellis prefaced his remarks
by saying that he was not public
speaker and that he "felt like running
when facing an audience. However
the Sergeant has proven that under fire
of enemy guns he did not 'feel like
running" and it was the soldier we
went to hear talk and not the orator.
He gave a review OF the events in the
history of our Company from the time
they embarked from the United States
up 10 the present-in the foreground
on the battlefields OF France.
His personal experiences were in
tensely interesting, particularly some
of the hardships our boys endured dur
ing one of the battles and in which The
neglected to mention this the Sergeant
showed such bravery in action that he
was afterward decorated with honors.
Following his talk he showed num-
ber of interesting captured war relics,
among them being German iron cross
of honor, purse with German coins,
belt and wire clippers, compass,
bullet and many other souvenirs picked
up on the battlefields.
He also showed his gas mask, ex-
planned its details, and showed its use.
Following the address at the theatre,
an informal lunch was served by the
Red Cross ladies at their headquarters
in honor OF Sergeant Chellis, who at
the close, met a number OF the rela-
lives and friends of our boys "over
Were" and gave them first-hand infor-
Nation regarding them.
Sergeant Chellis is among the soldiers
in France detailed back to the u. S. to
give instructions to recruits at our
military camps, and is home on short
leave of absence. He leaves this Satur-
day for the camp in Louisiana, and ex-
poets to recross the Atlantic within a
very few months.

holders, or their legal representatives,
TO dispose Of them in the simplest and
readiest manner. Bonds issued.to wom-
en- under their initials, or under the
initials Of their husbands, are not read

of the holder.
Though letters of administration
would be issued In the legal name Of
the deceased, and the bonds would be
Inscribed In her name, under her ini-
tials, or those of her husband. as the
case might be, the letters Of admin

agree as to the name, and therefore
the administrator of Mrs. Sarah A.
Smith, say, would have to prove that
she and Mrs. Thomas w. Smith (or
Mrs. s. Smith) were one and the same
person. II Is to avoid troubles Of this
character that the department has In
sisted on receiving the legal name Of
persons subscribing for registered

his corps of teachers for their kind
forethought and royal hospitality, to
Supt. Craig also for his loyal assistance
to the rural teachers in the conduct of

The one sing gle factor contributing
more than anything else except Mr..

the one contributing factor was the
music provided for thru the leaders
who lead the teachers in assembly sing

delivered beautiful selection on the
Blind French Soldier, and led the
assembly in a half hour of tense song
drill. Miss Bates sang three beautiful
solos, every one a choice gem, render
ed with feeling and with ease. She
also led the assembly in old patriotic
songs, in new popular music, and in
ditties of the day. The music and the
yells led by Supt. Craig, were the tun-
ing process which made it possible for
every visiting speaker to comment
favorably on the wide-awakeness of
our county teaching corps. Supt.
Pearson of the State Ohio said in part

ever witnessed anywhere. These
teachers are on their tiptoes all the

OBITUARY-MRS. GRIGSBY

Martha Chipperfield was born in
Chickney, Essex England, Oct. End,
1874. Married to A. D. Grigsby at
the above place Oct. End, 1867. Seven
children were born to this union, Mrs.
T, S. Suleeba, Grand Rapids; Cyril S.
Grigsby, Saginaw; William T., of Hast
ings; Rev. Maurice, Detroit; Allan D.,
Toledo, Ohio; Mrs. Myrtle G. Gidley,
East Jordan; and Mrs. Violet Moore,
who was called home Sept. 14th, 1917.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grigsby were the fond
grandparents of eight grandchildren.
Two brothers, Samuel Chipperfield,
Saskatchewan, Canada, and Thomas w.
Saffron, Walds Essex England, survive
her.
They left their home in England in
June 1887 and came to this new ooun-
try to build home, in free America,
making their first home at Saginaw,
Mich, removed from Saginaw to Hast
ings in 1889, where they remained
eight years. From Hastings to Che
boygan in 1897 and from Cheboygan to
East Jordan in 1907. They were very
happy here and both of their younger
daughters were married in East Jor-
dan. From East Jordan they removed
to Morrice in 1915.
Mrs. Grigsby was stricken in health
in 1912 from which she never entirely
recovered. In 1915 she was again laid
low by the hand of disease and passed

what she could" And in Mrs. Grigsby's
case it was true. Two of her favorite
hymns were sung by the quartette: Sun
of My Soul Thou Saviour Dear 1t is Not
Night When Thou Art Near and Safe
in the Arms of Jesus. The church was
filled with friends from Morrice and
Lansing and many beautiful flowers
were in evidence. 1t was beautiful
day to be laid to rest.

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 1647. 1t is interest
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 fiare-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 1t 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 influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er 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 80 rapidly or
30 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 be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most OF the pa
tients complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appearance one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. Hs
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 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
ish influenza. for It has been found
