How to Beat the Flu.

Merely because there is decrease
in the number of new influenza cases,
do not relax in the least the individual
precautions against infection. 1t is
even more necessary now to be care
full, for if the outbreak is to be de-
feated it is through concerted public
endeavor and the time to beat it is
when it is waning. If your occupa-
ton is such as to bring you into close
daily contact with numbers of people,
wear the gauze mask that the public
health service provides or one of your
own manufacture. Avoid crowds as
much as possible. Walk rather than
ride on the cars, if your distances and
time permit Keep in good health
generally by avoiding "upsetting"
foods. Attend promptly to every
"cold." Do not dose yourself with
every nostrum that is recommended
by friends, supposedly preventive of
disease and calculated to upset your
digestion and reduce your resistance.
Put aside all fear and remain calm.

"a national reconstruction congress
has been called to meet in Washing

in January, by the National Popular
Government League. Its purpose is
the defeat of Senator Weeks resolu-

Weeks plan the league wants some plan
which will keep for the American peo-
pie whatever economic advantages
have grown out of the war"

Premature Peace-Terms Talk.

Germany's answer to President Will
sons note of week ago does not
change the situation as regards peace
It presents no new factors warranting
any modification of our position then
stated.
The President may, in his reply,
make it even palmer than heretofore
that the United States will not nego-
tiate any separate peace with Ger
many, and that he will not under any
conditions act favorably upon the Ger
man request that he invite all the bel
hgerents to peace conference. His
answer should and undoubtedly will
be on the line of his declaration of
last week, referring the question of an
armistice to the allies in general and
to the advice of the military leaders.
With regard to the terms of peace,
they will be framed by all the allies
in conference, including the United
States. Of course, the United States
viii play conspicuous and honorable
part in the negotiations on the score
of its effective participation in the war
at the crucial hour. But the President
cannot and will not let us get into
the attitude of negotiating a separate
peace or committing ourselves to terms
that will bind in any degree those by
whose side we are fighting. In short,
we must go to the conference of peace
uneommitted to Germany in point of
exact conditions.
There is no admission of military
defeat in the German note, no acknowl-
edgment of allied military supremacy.
There can be no discussion of armis-
tice, no move toward that point until
there is direct confession of defeat,
and in this respect the latest German
note is inadequate.
In making peace with Germany three
clements are to be definitely attained,
surrender for the present, reparation
for the past and safeguards for the
future.
Germany's answer shows an increas-
ing desire on her part to bring about
peace at this time. Marshal Foch con-
tinues to hammer back the German
lines in France and Flanders. The
German people are manifesting an in
creasing demand, not merely for peace,
but for governmental reform. The sit
uation of the Berlin government is
indeed a desperate one, but the pres
emit answer will not bring an adjust
ment of the kind it seeks. 1t will not
save it from the fate it has earned.

alone has enabled the government dur
Ing this period to provide such sup
plies as transportation to the allies
permitted.
The Administration also suggests
that in those parts of the country
where the old fashioned home preser-
walton of pork Is still the custom, this
practice should be extended at the
sssent time, as 1t will relieve the bur
kg upon transportation to and from
the packing houses and is economical
" sound as saving the cost of packing
operations and at the same time will
provide home supplies of pork to last
over the months of decreased supplies.
The Food Administration desires to
repeat that 1t does not want to give
the impression that these are times
when simplicity and moderation of lv-
ing are not critically necessary, but
that Its sole desire Is to secure an ad-
1ustment between our different food
supplies and meet changing conditions
from time to time and to keep the pub
v iully and frankly advised of its
,,osition with the full confidence and
reliance that whenever it becomes nee
essary renewed appeals for saving will
met the same loyal RESPONSE as in the
past.

bered as Firm Friend of Ameri.
can Independence.

Charles James Fox, great English
statesman, who did so much for Amer
lean independence, entered parliament
as tory at nineteen, and was made
lord of the admiralty at twenty-one.
He incurred the lifelong enmity OF
George III by opposing a royal mar
iage bill, favored by the king, and at
the kings instance he was dismissed
from office. Thereupon he left the
tories and Joined the whig party,
whose chief he soon became, leading
them in their splendid opposition to
Lord North and the war which ended
In American independence.
Fox was kept out of office by the en-
nifty of the king during % of the best
years of his life Uord Grenville tnal-
ly refused to form a cabinet without
him), but managed in spite of this to
fight valiantly for many good meas
ures, including Indian government re-
form. a better libel law and the abol-
ition of the slave trade. He risked
his life rising from sick bed to speak
for the latter.
Gambling, which his father taught
him as O child, was Fox's besetting
sin. He lost thousands by 1t, but when
in 1893 his friends paid his debts and
settled an annuity upon him, he never
touched q card again.
Fox was one of the greatest orators
who ever spoke in the British parlia
ment. He is said to have possessed
"above all moderns that union of rea
son, simplicity and vehemence whicf
formed the prince of orators"

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January 1, 1918, Is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this porticu of the diet
for %, 2,194,570 additional .den.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 1884 100000 bushels.
Pork exports for the 31s years amount
ed to almost 2,000,000,000 pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, ,4S4, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

ALLIES DEMAND
MORE CEREALS

The allies have made further and
increased demands for breadstuifs,
these enlarged demands being caused
10 some degree by shortage In arrivals
from the Argentine. 1t Is, therefore.
necessary for tho U. S. Food Admins
tration to urge a still further reduction
in the consumption of bread and bread
stuffs generally IL we are to meet our
export necessities. The Food Admin
istration has issued n statement ex-
planning the situation In detail, partic'
ulnrly the reasons which lead 1t, Tor
the purpose of centering effort for the
time being upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily the restrictions on
meat consumption.
Experience shows, this statement
says, that the consumption Of bread
stuffs Is intimately associated with the
consumption of meat. For various
reasons our supplies Of meat for the
next two or three months are consid-
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all Of the meat products
which transportation facilities render
possible and at the same time some
what increase our own consumption.
In these circumstances the Food Ad-
mlnlstration considers 1t wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con-
sumption to some extent with a view
tc further decreasing bread consump-
tion.
Conservation of food must be ad.
justed to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al
lied demands are constant factors, nor
can any of these factors be anticipated
for long periods In advance In the dis
turbed conditions In which we at pres
ent live. While the world situation Is
not one that warrants any relaxation
In the efforts to eliminate waste or to

HARD TO CHEAT FATHER TIME
Wise Is the Nan Who Appreciates
Value Of Punctuality, and Great
is His Reward.

A young Kentuckian has lost big
fortune by being 20 minutes late In
keeping business engagement.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can flch 1t as we will. But
1t is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, If any, is your
own affair. But it is also the affair OF
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases 1t may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether 1t matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that 1t does not matter
even when 1t does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
! time Is of least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but 1t
can be done, and 1t is worth while to
do 1t.
Great business men have this habit
Men Of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance OF
saving it by being prompt.-Christiar
