ORGANIZE NOW TO
COMBAT INFLUENZA.

tuMDAl lnrUENLA'
In view of the fact that we may
have an epidemic of influenza this
fall and winter, and remembering
the devastion and havoc wrought
by this disease last fall and winter,
it behooves us to get each county
and community thoroughly organ
lied to care for those stricken if this
disease should again show itself in
an epidemic form. Thorough or
ganization inspires confidence in
battling with any foe and there is
no doubt that thorough organization
will allay the fears of the people
and tend to lessen the nervous con-
dition which increased our mortali-
ty in the influenza epidemic of last
fall and winter.
We are writing to ask that you
call a meeting AT ONCE Of all the
public welfare agencies in your
county-health officers, public well
fare officers, farm and home dem
onstrators, superintendents and
supervisors of schools, both white
and colored, ministers, doctors, law
yers, and all other patriotic citizens.
Let these patriotic citizens form an
organization after the plan outlined
below. If influenza comes, you
will be prepared. If it does not
come, 50 much the better.
The public welfare agents and
patriotic citizens in meeting assem-
bled, should appoint a county super
visor of health to cooperate with
the county board of health and the
county health officer. The county
supervisor should appoint a local
supervisor in each township. Duties
of the local supervisor are. to keep
in touch with the people in order to
learn the d gr e e in which
each community is affected by in
fluenza; to keep the county superin-
tendent informed of local conditions
and needs, and, should it become
necessary. assist in relieving the
helpless. The chairman Of the
board of county commissioners
should send to the State Board OF
Health the name of the county's
supervisor and the township super
visors. All calls for outside aid
should be made through your county
supervisor. These calls only will
be regarded as official by the State
Board of Health. The State Board
of Health is at this time perfecting
an emergency organization of ply
sicians and nurses of the State. who
will be willing and ready to answer
any emergency call sent them by
the State Board of Health, The
State Board of Health urges that
the men or women selected az
township supervisors realize that g
great responsibility rests upon them
for the saving of lives and the allie
Walton of suffering in their com
munity. To aid them in their work

WAR ORPHANS FRANCE DYING
MALNUTRITION AND SHOCK

Without him, France would not have
had her Revolutions and the patriot
Bonivard, whose trials Byron immor-
talized as the Prisoner of Chlllon,
were Genevans. Farel, the Billy
Sunday of his day, who could not
be made, to desist from preaching,
even tho the women of his congrega-
ton dragged him up and down the
aisles Of the church by his beard,
made the lake city his headquarters
during his ascendancy. And John
Calvin, who found Geneva beer
garden and left it docile school OF
piety, was virtual dictator here for
quarter of a century.
cone of the most picturesque
figures in the history of Geneva dur
ing this period was Francois de Bonl-
ward, who, when his victorious friends
rushed into his dungeon at Chillon
crying, tBonivard, you are free;;' re-
sponded with the query, And &C.
neva?' Upon being assured that his
city was also saved, he went home
rejoicing.
"By one of those curious chances
upon which hinge events of mohu-
mental moment, the young French
philosopher, John Calvin, native of
Picardy, passed thru Geneva one
evening on his way to Strassburg.
He had intended spending only one
night; but Farel, hearing of his ar
rival, rushed to him and, with the
fiery impetuosity which characterized
every act cf his life, convinced Cal
vim that it was his duty to remain and
assist in the organization of theo-
cratic state.
"The austerity of the Calvin code
presents many amusing phases to the
modern reader. For example, hair
dresser was impressed because he
made one of his clients too beauti-
full. Any man who swore without
necessity was required to take off
his hat, 'kneel down in the place of
his offense, clasp his hands, and kiss
the earth The wearing of silk or
embroidered hose was prohibited;
likewise the adornment of ones per-
son with chains of silver or gold, and
eating or drinking in taverns out
side of the city. Hosts and hostesses
were enjoined to warn their guests
to be in their own lodgings after the
trumpet sound to the watch or the
ringing of the bell (nine o'clock at
night.)
"There is no more beautiful picture
of Christian charity than the scene
in this city when, on August 3Oth,
1872, merchants of Lyons brought
news of the massacre of the Hugue-
nots on St. Bartholomew Day. Pas
tors were dispatched to the frontiers

The Capital of the League of
Nations.

o o o Q o o @ o o @ @ @ o @ 9 @
Geneva, to be the capital of the
League of Nations, is described in a
communication by Ralph A. Graves
to the National Society, as follows:
"Seated serenely on both banks of
the River Rhone, where it leaves the
limpid waters of Lake Geneva as a
placid stream, in contrast TO the
muddy turbulence of it's ingress at
the other end of the lake, Geneva
is not the metropolis Of the minla-
ture Republic of Switzerland, for Zu-
rich surpasses it in population by
so per cent and Bern is the capt.
tai. But it is doubtful whether be-
fore the world war any other city
of it's size was visited annually by
as many tourists, for it was the
main gateway into the world-famous
play ground of Europe
"Altho it's recorded history goes
back beyond the Christian era, to the
time when Julius Caesar, in his COM
mentaries on his first expedition into
Gaul, mentions it as a stronghold OF
the Allobroges, it's growth has been
phenomenal only in it's leisureliness.
Today, after twenty centuries, it has
less than one-third the population of
the century-old capital of the United
States.
'The city enjoys the distinction of
being the birthplace of the 1nterna-
tional Red Cross, but also has some
dark chapters in its pas5-the Ge:..GG-
ious excesses of the Reformation,

secutors.

GOD SAVE OUR BOYS.

(By Samuel Patrick Koon.)
God save our precious boys,
Fill them with purest joys,
God save them all.
Save them throughout this strife,
Save them when death is rife,
Save each and every life;/
Forbid their fall.
When to the camp they go
And souls are white as snow,
Keep each one pure;
Keep them within thy sight,
Keep them both day and hight,
Protect them by thy might;
Make them secure.
They leave their native shore
And fight for us and more,
It is thy will;
They sail across the wave,
They face cruel knave,
But thou, O Jesus, save;
Speak, "peace, be still"
When in the charge they 60
And steel begins to. glow,
Be thou nearby;
When airships rise and soar,
When fields are red with gore;
Oh hear their cry.
Make each one brave and strong!
Like men in lore and song,
And nothing less;
Make them victorious,
Make each one glorious,
Thou who art over us;
Give them success.
Then bring them home again,
Bring home our noble men,
Both safe and sound;
Let gladness Danish gloom
Rejoicing fill the home,
While fields and flowers bloom,
Let peace abound.
