MEWsBoYs ON BATTLE FRONT
Belgian and French Youngsters Take
Great Risks While Distributing
Papers to the Soldiers.

During the first days of the war
British soldiers going up to Mons from
Boulogne were hailed by an ancient
French dame with her only British
phrase, "Da-e-ly Mail" She did her
best. Since those far-off days "Da-e-ly
Ma-i-P has been called by the little
Belgian and French boys and girls all
along the line from Dunkirk to Bel
fort. Many risk has been run to buy
and sell the news Of yesterday. One
great load Of copies of the London
Daily Mail arrived at a distributing
center by train just as the advancing
wave of Germans threatened to pour
over the line.
Prompt to the occasion the parcels
were seized by the soldiers and
thrown into the gap. Surely no news.
paper parcels ever had stranger fate
than to be used, fresh from the press
and unread, as sandbags for trenches
and shelter against whining scurry
of machine-gun bullets. Back in Paris
an anxious publisher and thoughtful
cashier wondered In what category of
'unsold copies" the wagon load should
be put.
Three times the Daily Mail has
heard through advanced line distrib-
uting agents Of paper sellers shot by
snipers' bullets while making their
way along the trenches.

Captain Fred A. Lieuallen, Portland
physician, writes a very interesting
letter published in the Oregon Journal
of recent date. which will be Of special
interest to his mauyi friends in this
vicinity. He is a son of j. T. Lieu
allen of Adams. and his wife was a
former Athena girl, Miss Myrtle
Hawks. Captain Lieuallen went
through the war with the medical re-
serve corps Of the 9th infantry. 4th
division of regulars. He was gassed
on October s in the Argonne and has
returned to the base hospital at Ver-
dun after month spent at Nice. The
following extract describes the incl
dent of his being gassed:
II spent the month of October in
the hospital. Jerry certainly gave
me and my detachment good dose of
mustard gas. but again, as in a good
many instances, the time for US to
CROSS the Great Divide had not arrived.
While we suffered some pain, consid-
er that we were more than lucky.
Jerry certainly had US located and hit
our aid station several times with high
explosive shells. which had blown up
two of the three shacks we we're using
as dressing stations. We were very
lucky as one shell hit dead center.
There were IA of us in the shack and
only six were wounded, none killed.
II never got scratch, but few
minutes later gas shell hit and when
it exploded, scattered mustard liquid
which soon becomes gas-all over
us. As we had no helmets on, we got
lot of it in few seconds. Every one
Of the IA in the shack was gassed, in
cluding the wounded. though none fa-
tai. In an hour we were sorry look
ing gang.
"Gas gets the eyes first. Soon we
were blind, even though we used lots
of sodium bicarbonate solution to
wash our eyes. We we're soon sent tc
the rear, placed in an ambulance and
sent to the hospital. Of course we

A FEW STRIKING
FEATURES.0F FLU

A careful ANALYSIS by the State
Board of Health of all data obtainable
in regard to the present flu epidemic
shows the following striking eatures,
from which most valuable legdeductions
can be drawn in considering, control
measures: ~
Three daysIafter an unusual gather
ing of people there is an increase in
the number of cases reported. Thus,
every Tuesday is high because of Sat-
urday and Sunday mingIings; the 28th
of December was high following
Christmas; the srd and 4th of January
were high following NewYears festiv-
tiles. Therefore, there should be no
unnecessary or unusual gatherings. Of
gatherings. dances constitute the
greatest number of cases. Dances
therefore should be prohibited during
the epidemic.
The waves of the epidemic run in
about three week intervals. A study
of the causes of this and the matter of
carriers, indicates that many cases re-
main carriers for period of two or
three weeks. The greatest number of
severe cases during wave are able to
be up and around in about three weeks
and are unconsciously spreading the
disease causing the next wave. There.
fore, in addition to the ten days quar-
antine. each recovered case should
wear mask for a period of two or
three weeks in the presence of unex-
posed persons. and all persons coming
in close contact with the sick should
wear masks. Masks. to be effective.
should be sufficiently large to com
pletely cover the nose. and mouth.
They should have at least eight layers
of gauzs and should be sterilized after
three hours use. Sterilizing is easily
accomplished by dropping the mask in
boiling water for ten minutes.
1t has been discovered that the dis
ease is being spread to a greater ex-
tent than has been realized by utensils
used in eating and drinking. There
fore all dishes. cups. glasses. knives
and forks, etc.,. used in eating or
drinking in all public places. and in
all private homes or public institutions
wherever there are cases of influenza,
should be thoroughly st,rilized by
boiling l5 minutes.
