THE END Is NOT YET

People who are hoping that the
Spanish influenza epidemic has
about run it's course are likely to be
disappointed A study of statistics
and records dealing with the influ-
enza epidemic Of 1890 shows that il
continued in some parts of the Unit
ed States through 1898. This APP
pears to be the usual history of the
disease and for that reason precau-
tons against it can not be safely re-
Taxed for many months to come. In
an article published in The American
Journal of Public Health, Dr.. w. A
Evans and Dr. NJ O. Heckard of the
Chicago Health Department say in
reference to their conclusions based
on a study of the records of their de-
partment:
In 1890 DR.. S. Wickersham
health commissioner, said in his an
nual report:
Influenza, beginning in our city
early in January, reached its height
the last week in January, at which
time my belief is that over 100000
citizens were sufferers from that
cause alone. 1t continued to prevail
during February, March and April
in modified degree. Its duration
was about four months. In the week
having the highest mortality there
were 694 deaths
In 1891 the disease required, for
we find DR.. J. ID. Ware, then health
commissioner, saying in his annual
report: During March and April
there were 3400 deaths in each
month, largely due to pneumonia and
influenza, which seemed to be cpl
demic.'
mo mention is made of influenza
in the annual reports of 1929, but
DR.. A r. Reynolds, health commits
sioner at that time, tells us that the
disease prevailed as late as 1898.
The influenza bacillus was not
discovered until the epidemic was
well under way. and as a means of
general diagnosis bacteriologic ex-
aminations were not employed. Di-
agnosis was by clinical symptoms. In
view of the well-known influence of
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-01-24

publicity on diagnosis, our opinion is
that the best basis for Judgment as
to the effect of influenza in 1889 to
1898 is the curve for deaths from all
causes
Conclusions:
First. Pandemics of influenza
usually continue for several years.
Secondly. The epidemic in Chi
cago in 1890 continued to recur, or
else to otherwise increase the NOR
tality rate of Chicago up. to and
through 1898.
Thirdly The principal increases
in deaths We're due to pneumonia,
bronchitis, and influenza.
"Fourthly The number of deaths
was highest among persons from 20
10 40. The greater increase above
the expected was in the death of per-
sons over 60. Children of
school age seem to enjoy some rel
alive immunity.
"Fifthly This study indicates a
probability either that influenza will
recur several times during the next
few years or that there will be an in
crease in pneumonia, or both.
"SiXthly. This study plainly indi-
Gates "a need for continued work to
control the acute respiratory diseases
during 1918, 1919 and for several
years thereafter
The facts quoted above indicate
that eternal vigilance is the price of
immunity from influenza as we'll as
of liberty.

SEVEN L0AVES OF BREAD
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and Threshermen Patriot
cally Respond to Call Of Food
Administration.

From information received by the
U. S. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, 1t is
now possible to announce with fair ac-
curacy the amount Of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods of han
ding. According to official calcula-
lions, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
with corresponding savings Of other
small grain harvested and threshed in
a similar manner. In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish ng-
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses
The figure for wheat alone Is equiv
alent to seven one-pound loaves of
bread for every person In the United
States and represents food that form
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only q slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While OPP
portunities In this branch of conserva-
ton were large, the quantity OF grain
recovered surpasses early expecta-
tons 1t is noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
No conservation measure OF the
Food Administration, 1t is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward
reducing grain waste at Its source.

DESERVES A DECORATION

The men who displayed unusual
courage during the fighting in
France are not the only ones who de-
serve to be honOred and decorated.
gible for military service, who re-
manned at home during the war but
showed such a spirit of self-sacrlfice
and patriotism that they ought to
be awarded a distinguished service
medal. Such a man is Charles Foss,
aged At, who resides in Alpine, near
San Diego, Cal.
For nearly 80 years Foss has been
engaged in the business of producing
honey from bees. Sometimes he has
sold his crop for barely enough to
support himself. Last year he had
a heavy yield of honey, which he
could have marketed at the war price
of 22 cents pound Wholesale But
when the buyers went to him he
said:
"You are buying honey to sell it at
exorbitant prices. | am going to sell
mine at six cents pound to persons
who need it and can not pay your
price.
God gave us the bee and He
charges us no tax on it. He gave us
the flowers from which the bee
draws the honey, and they cost us
nothing. Why, when the world is
overwhelmed with suffering, should
some men profiteer at the expense of
those who suffer most?
Some day | hope TO look in the
face of Him who gave us the bee
and the flowers, but | could never
look Him squarely in the eye If !
had made a single penny out OF
fellow creatures stress"
Foss asked only one question when
a stranger came to buy honey: Are
you going to sell it?''
mo? Then come to the store
house and get what you want at six
cents a pound"
He sold four tons-the entire yield
OF his apiary-at this price. Men,
women and children from all over
the country shared his honey,
which, in round numbers, brought
him $500.

Judging by the carping criticism
of some newspapers regarding the ac-
tiyities of President Wilson at the
peace conference, their editors hope
that he will fail in his attempt to
secure a just and enduring peace for
the world, Such editors seem to re-
gard partisan politics as being more
important than the welfare OF hui
mainly.

1.-THE OWE OF TEARS"
lTwelfth Episode.)

The twelfth episode of evolves of
Kultur" pictures one of the most dar-
ing plunges into space ever success
fully accomplished by actors and given
to the screen. The episode opens with
Alice and Bob cornered on a high tres
tie. Carter, the spy, at one end and
a train approaching from the opposite
side.
They escape in a spectacular climb
down side of trestle work.
In the meantime the torpedo is be-
ing assembled in the cave. Walker
returns to his house and determines
to set bloodhounds on Alice's trail.
Alice and Bob come upon an aerial
tram line across a chasm. They de-
termine to take a chance in the dirt
car. They are halfway across when
Carter u~nloosens end of cable and
drops bucket to waters below.
Bob and Alice, however, climb to
safety and come upon the gang. They
attempt to escape in a canoe, BIT are
upset.
Bob is separated again from Alice
and swims to shore. Carter plunges
into river and swims to Alice, finally
capturing her. Alice is carried back
to a very high water tower and made
a prisoner at its top.
Carter takes up pursuit of Bob. At
ter a terrific fight, Bob throws him
into a river and continues search for
Alice.
Alice, apparently without hope at
the top of the tower, sees Bob.
She finds a rope and drops it over
the edge. Carter has returned and is
about to reach the top of the tower
to get Alice, as Bob has begun climb
ing the rope. As the episode ends,
Bob is halfway up the rope and Carter
is at the window about to cut it.
