LESSON FOR GANG
To Take Care of Job and Quit
Splitting Over.
Conversation Fest Shows Great Al
v~antages of a Little Hardship That
Increases Mans Appreciation
of HIS Privileges.

Don't hurry away, Bud; sit down
and talk that's the popular recreation
nowadays" said Leonard V. Whenne,
the village philosopher, to the inter
ested listener, Glenn NJ. Farley writes
In the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. I'VE
have progressed SO fast and SO far in
the last two or three decades, and ar.
rived at such a complicated and finely
organized system of civilization, that
we are practically tied up in a web
Of our own weaving; the war has
thrown us into confusion, SO the world
has called a square mans meeting, and
WI are trying to talk ourselves out of
1t. Everybody has a remedy for re-
pairing the system, and we are all
standing around giving our views, and
the resultant chorus is something to
make angels weep"
"~Three-a-day, a place to sleep and a
little amusement is all l want Of it,"
said the Interested Listener. What
are they arguing about? My idea
would be for the whole gang to stop

did you read about that shipwreck-
ed sailor they took off a Pacific island
the other day?" said Whenne. He
was washed ashore, with a barrel Of
port wine, a monograph and a box OF
soda crackers, and, by gum, he fought
the r~escuing party. They had to hand
cuff him and carry him aboard ship,
He was In favor of the simple life, but
they brought him back home and dump
ed him into a longshoremen's strike.
Man wants but little here below, but
he makes an awful fuss about getting

II know" said the Listener. "Our
lGndlady gave us ten thousand enraged
words at the breakfast table because
the phone was out of order, the butch
er's boy was late with the meat and
the electric lights were short cir
cuited."
1.-THE more people get" said Whenne,
'the more they want, and the harder
they are to please. Things have come
so easy they have lost their appetite.
A little hardship is a good thing once
In a while, If for nothing more than
to increase a mans appreciation of his
privileges. Everything is relative; sun.
shine and fresh air, without any trim
mings at all, are heaven enough to the
guy who gets up from a sick bed. and
even a ham sandwich Is a blessed priv.
ilege to a hungry man. Here Is Amer
lea, full of food and comfort to the
neck, standing around and wondering
what is the matter, and listening to
the orators of discomfort. In hard
times all people pray for is a Job, and
In good times they get purse proud and
want an endowment. Probably the AL.
mighty sends us into tough going to

Wounded, He AWoke to
Find Sister as Nurse

Newport News, va.-Wounded
at st. Mihiel after seeing his
brother killed by his side, Sergt.
John Early Of Chicago was
nursed by his two sisters. Early
formerly was a member Of the
Chicago police force, and the
fact that he still draws his pay
from the city of Chicago is a
source Of envy and comfort to
some Of his "buddies," for no
man ever Is In need but what
Early stands ready to help him.
Sergeant Early and his broth
er Michael went through the
first days fighting at st. Mihiel
without a scratch. On the sec
ond day Michael was shot. He
left a widow and two children,
who live in Chicago. Sergeant
Early was allowed to go back
a day or so later and see that
his brother was given a fitting
funeral.
A German sniper's bullet hit
Sergeant Early a day or SO
later, the bullet missing his
heart by less than an inch. Be-

OTHER PLANTS
EXPERT EXAMINATION OF ROCK
RAPIDS, IA, ELECTRIC
PLANT.

Rock Rapids (Ia.) Reporter: you
have n of the best managed mu-
nicipal plants l have ever examined, "
said Mayor Ford. of Fort Dodge,
who was called here to make a sur
vey of the various utilities and
recommend such changes as he
thought best. in discussing his in
vestigations informally with council
members and a number of citizens
last Thursday evening. Mr.. Ford's
formal report has not been filed as
yet, but in his talk with the council
he gave an outline of what it would
show.
The report will show, first, that
the plants are in excellent condition
physically, and that they are the best
managed of the scores of plants Mr..
Ford has examined in the twenty
three years he has been doing that
kind of work. 1t will further show
that lone of the various departments
are losing money, although he will
recommend that an increase be
made In the power rate and the heat
ing rate. No power should be sold
at less than 5 cents per %kilowatt, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ford, under present
conditions and at present prices for
fuel and labor. The same applies to
the heating, and while he distinctly
stated that that department was not
a losing one, owing to the present
high price of coal, and the further
fact that so much of the indebted
ness was represented by certificates
redeemable in heat, it would be wise
to increase the rate a little and make
arrangements If possible to have par
of the heating bills paid in cash and
part credited on the certificates in
order to get in more money to handle
the increased consumption of coal
He also suggested the issuance oil
bonds to take up the heating Ger.
tificates in order to have the receipts
all in cash. He advocated raising
the 50-cent rate that is charged Ger.
tificate holders to so cents, and the
60-cent rate that non-holders pay tC
10 cents, with a discount of 5 cents
per thousand consumption if paiC
promptly. He thought the water
rates were equitable and the service
good. This was the case, also, with
the electric light rates.
, Mr.. Ford said the system of dis
tribution of overhead cost in tn,
plant was all right, except that h,
believed there should be a boiler de
/, probation charge made to the heat
ing plant. This would amount t
$500 per year. He said the system
OF measuring output was good ant
as near accurate as could be figured
without the installation of expensiv,
meters, and he thought even thes,
would get no neare an exact &C
counting than they do at present.
His report, IL 1t follows closely tn,
statement made Thursday evening
will be a fine boost for municipal
ownership and commentator 70

REFUGE FOR EX-KING LUDWIG
Former Monarch Of Bavaria Occupies
Castle OF Vaduz Under
Assumed Name.

Berne.-A report received here from
L~ichtenstein, Saxony, say the aged
former King Ludwig Of Bavaria has
found asylum under the fictitious name
of prince Lowenstein' in the pictur-
esque castle Of vaduz, belonging to
Prince Lichtensteir.
The government of the Tyrolese re.
public, it is said, refused to shelter
Ludwig on the ground that the popula-
ton strongly objected to having to
feed members of royal families when
they themselves were ON the verge Of
starvation.
Ludwig, says the report, was ac-
companied to Lichtenstein by several
members Of his family, whose lives
were considered to be in danger In
Munich.
A dispatch from Geneva says that
thousands Of Germans with their fam
lilies are on the Swiss frontier anx.
ious to enter Switzerland, but that the
Swiss authorities have refused them
permission to do so.

masklike, and there may be definite
double facial paralysis. The patient
is ip a condition of stupor, although
true sleep is often not obtained.
No Specific Treatment.
With regard to treatment, no spe-
cifc method has been devised, and the
best that can be done is to put the
patient to bed and provide good nurs-
ing. Cold sponging is often beneficial
during the early stages and tends to
diminish the delirium. For the pain,
numbness and tingllng of the limbs
warmth Is the best remedy. Consti-
patton Is obstinate and often difficult
to overcome, except by enemas fol-
lowed by such drugs as liquid paraf-
I'm or phenolphthaleln. No h~ypnotics
and no morphine or other prepare
tions Of opium should be given. Daily
cleansing Of the mouth and antisep,
tic treatment Of the nose and mouth
should be carried out and respiratory
complications Systematically looked
for. The patient should be given to
understand that his convalescence
will last at least six months after the
beginning of the illness.
officials of the United States pub
lie health service are investigating
cases of the disease In several cities.
They are especially anxious to keep
the malady out Of the army camps.
The first army camp to be invaded
was Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va, where
one death was reported out of nine
cases. Investigation made at the
camp showed that in each case the
soldier had been Ill with influenza.

Aren Fiber.

1t seems probable, says the Board
OF Trade Journal, that a considerable
trade may develop In the Netherlands
East Indies in the preparation and
export Of aren fiber, which Is OBJ
tanned from the fbrous mass found on
the leaf sheaths Of the aren palm
(Arenga saccharifera Labill) after the
fall Of the old leaf stem. The material
can be cut from the stem In strips,
and Is used by the natives for thatch-
ing, ropes and small. stiff brooms, and
also as a binding material in native
house construction and canoes. There
rs also a European demand for aren
fiber. arising from its great resistance
to water, which makes the fiber mark
edly suitable for covering submar ne
cables. Aren fiber does not appear to
be utilizable In the paper industry.

few years, and its cause and origin

The disease, when II was first dis

Although a rise In temperature was
not observed In all of the 1874 cases
of the disease Of which notes were OBJ

that there Is always a certain amount
of fever In an early stage. The fever
usually lasts from two to Ave days,
but may continue for ten or even four
teen days. 1t may fall suddenly or
gradually with oscillation. A period
of subnormal temperature not infre-
quently follows.
Usually the first symptom is SIM
