WILL THE "FLU"
RETURN THIS WINTER

so much mas been said and
written about the probability
of the recurrence Of the pam
demic of influenza this winter
that the Public Health Service
felt 1t should make some com.
ment on the subject. Quite
frankly. no one can say with
anv certainty whether there
will be n recurrence Of last
winters horror.
The statement submitted
herewith is about everything
that can be said with any
measure of assurance. There
is such a widesprel d fear of
influenza that it is suggested
that it be published in full 40
that the public and even the
medical profession may draw
their own conclusions.
It will be observed that no
mention has been made here Of
cure or specific. So fas as
the most careful scientific in
vestigations have been able to
determine. none has been dis
covered: the suggested reme-
dies which gave most encour-
agement are even now in their
experimental stages.
Evidence collected during
last winters pandemic points
STRONGLY to infected eating and
drinking utensils, especially in
places where food and drink
are sold to the public, rs being
one of the modes Of transmits
sion of this disease. In some
municipalities this matter has
already been made a subject of
regulation, but the enforce
ment of the regulations often
leaves much to be desired. In
many parts of the country now
even this beginning has been
made.

as the pandemic Of the previ'

The fact that a previous at

BUILDS ITs NEST OF MUD
Under the Eaves Of Houses Gin
Swallows Mako Thelr
Homes.

Years ago, before houses and barns
were as plentiful as they are now. ths
cliff swallow built its house of tiny
mud bricks on the side Of rocky
cliff, says the Philadelphia North
American. The nest builders find q
convenient patch of clay. roll up the
mud into tiny pellets and carry them
to their nesting site. There they
fashion them into home as skill
fully as any brlcklayer could do IT,.
rounding It over the top like roof
and leaving round opening for a
door. Because these nests were usu-
ally found on the sides of cliffs they
named the bird the cliff swallow.
Today the bird doesn't have to find
a cliff for its home. A sheltered place
under the caves of n barn will suit
1t Just as well. You'll find more cliff
swallows today at home under the
caves than you will in their ancestral
castles on the rocks.
The bird wears q shiny blue black
coat and brownish yellow vest. Its
tail. reddish brown. is only slightly
forked, which distinguishes 1t from
the regular swallow tails
Perhaps you have been told that
nest OF the cliff swallow ia infes
with bedbugs, and perhaps you ha,
torn down all the nests you could find
to get rid Of the pests. This 10 .
common slander against the swallow.
The nest contains no insects which
can be communicated to houses. On
the other hand. the cliff swallow per.
forms immeasurable benefit by de-
stroying many leaf bugs and weevils.
