The State Board Of Health, the
United States Public Health Service
and the Red Cross are united in this
appeal to every citizen Of Kentucky
70 help in lessening the spread of
influenza and the development Of
pneumonia.
Nearly four hundred thousand
Kentuckians suffered from these
diseases last year, and fourteen
thousand died from them. Deaths
and sickness can be greatly lessened
this year if each individual will do
his part in avoiding them.
Have yourself and family and
everyone dependent upon you moe

thousand have been inoculated in
Kentucky. Very few of these have
developed influenza, and less than
dozen have died from pneumonia.
Material for incubation is furnish
ed free by the State Board of Health.
Go to your doctor and be inoculated.
If you are not able to pay for the
service, go to your Health Officer
md have it done without cost. Avoid
listing the sick, especially if they
have colds or sore throats.
1t is frequently difficult even for
a doctor to tell a bad cold from mild
influenza. Pneumonia, in nearly
every case, is following neglected
mild influenza. If you take cold, go
home for the safety of the commun-
ty, to a we'll ventilated room by
yourself, for the safety of your
family, and to your bed for your

SAYS EUROPE IS STILL
 FULL OF MUTUAL HATREDs

Sydney, Australia. Nov. 25.-sir Jo- seph Cook. minister for the navy. is urging military preparedness upon Australians. At the annual meeting of the Navy League, he said:
 Spend your last dollar on prepar- ing for fight to the last. We have signed the peace. but Europe is still full o9 mutual aatreds, even among the allies. Until there is q general movement for disarmament, as I hope there soon will be, we must trust to the League of Nations-and keep our powder dry.
 We cannot afford to let the rife rust yet awhile, though we have a League of Nations which we hope will fructify," he told the National Rifle Association. Our rifles must be kept well oiled, and you must be able to shoot them as in times gone by if this country is to be safe. We may yet need our rifles here in Australia"
 To the Women's Reform League, Sir Joseph said: Our hope must be cen tered in the League of Nations, It is the one great hope of the world but if we cannot make it effective in the near future we had better get ready for the next war, which will otherwise come as surely as the sun rises.'

Great Change in Ideals Of Dutch Women

The Hague, Dec. 2b.---The ideals and ideas Of Dutch women, for centuries confined 10 children, kitchen. and the church. have undergone a change and the daughters of the land of windnlills and canals are making strong fight for their rights. :.,
 Several great organizations have been formed for improvement of the conditions of women. With the re- vision of tse Dutch constitution last year. women obtained full suffrage and the result is that now there are woT7eH in nearly every town council.
 Realizing, however, that the pos session of the vote alone does not de- eide the lot of women. the promoters of the movement are now seeking, to bring about changes in the laws and resulations which discri7inate against tho sex economically aNd socially.
 According to the Dutch law" said Mrs. Wiinandts Franeken, ore of the leaders Of the zvonren's movement, the father has practically al the sav' about the education of the children. He decides as to their future, consents, to their marriage and may send them vherevzr he likes. Of course, thfs is of no importance whatever in good marriage, where father and mother to- rether debate ahout such things. but this power Of the father rnav eaeily hc ahused. l know of several cases in which the father deliberately took child away and hit it from it's mother. without the latter being able 10 do anything against this course as the law was on the side of the father.
 Another thorn in the flesh of the Dutch woman is that she mast prom ise obedience to her husband in the VOW of marriage. Now please don't think that these women are averse to rule and order. They only want to he the equals Of their husbands, not their housekeepers.
 ~As things are now, a Dutch woman has to suffer almost anything from a tryannieal husband and nothing short Of adultery or bodily i'll usage can rid
