TO THE CHRISTIAN CITI
lens OF KANDIYOHI COUNTY

The undersigned has been appoint
ed to act as Director. for the coming
drive to help the prosecuted Christ,
ians Of Asia Minor and the Near East
who have suffered SO terribly at the
hands OF the infdel Turks. .; =
Our people, who have given SO gen.
erously for the Red Cross and the
Seven War Organizations, can find
no more worthy object than the one
which now calls for our helpful
sympathy. Our work as a Christian
Nation is not at an end; undoubtedly
for some time to come we will be
asked to help the destitute and sui
fering of other lands. We have won
the respect and admiration Of the
world for what we have done, but we
dare not relax our efforts until the
ravages of this most awful war have
been more completely relieved than
is now the case.
The Nation is asked for help to the
amount of $4,000, 900, and the share
for Kandiyohi County is $500, which
is less than one sixth the amount
called for by the United War Work
Campaign of last November.
most earnestly ask for the eper.
getic support of all the clergymen in
the County, as we'll as of the directors
and workers, who will be appointed
without delay. The opportionment il
based upon the population and the as
sessed valuation of the various town
ships and villages of the County to-
gether with the City of Willmar. In
this work have had the assistance
of the Messrs. J. F. Willard, F. G.
Handy, Russell Spicer, and Miss Lii
lie B. Noren. These names should
guarantee fairness, and furnish as
surance that the appeal is justified and
worthy In every way. Furthermore,
the proclamation Of Pres. Wilson en-
dorsing the drive places it on the
same high ground on which the
United War Work Campaign was car
ried out. It is up to us to show
whether the springs of our sympathy
have dried up, or whether we still
have heart for Gods suffering child
rem.
The Drive begins on the 18th of
January.
Yours for suffering humanity,
Frederick H. Oehler.

The Town Of Don't-You-Worry


There'sa town called Don't-Y ou- Worry
On the banks of the River Smile,
Where - Cheer-up and Be-Happy
Blossom sweetly all the while.
Where the Never-Grumble flower
Blooms beside the fragrant Try,
And the Ne'er-Give-Up and Patience
Point their faces to the sky:
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province Of Twill,
You will find the lovely city,
At the foot of No-Fret hill,
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees
Named the Very-Seldom Frown.
Rustic benches quite enticing,
You'll find scattered here and there;
And to each vine is clinging
Called the Observation-Disclosures
Everybody there is happy,
And is singing all the while,
In the town of DON'T
On the banks Of River Smile.

ley Worker.

THE C0h[lI[IS SIONIS
REPORT ON FLU
What U. S. Public Health COMM.
sion Found at Chicago
Meeting.

While the prevailing disease IL gen.
orally known as influenza, it has not
been established that it is the identi.
cal disease formerly styled as influ-
enza. Mental conditions may cause
a person to believe he has influenza
when he has not and makes q person
who has the dease suffer more suffer
more severely than he otherwise
would. There is no laboratory method
by which Influenza can be diagnosed
from an ordinary cold, bronchitis or
any other inflammation OF the nose,
throat or pharynx. There Is also no
laboratory method by which a person
who has had influenza ceases to be
capable OF transmitting the disease to
others.
Breaking the Channel Of communlca-
ton.
By Preventing Drop-let Infection.
This Is of first Importance.
By sputum control. The evidence
offered that the danger here is due
chiefly to contamination of the hands
and common eating and drinking uten-
sils.
In relation to the use of vaccines,
for the prevention of influenza. The
evidence that has come to the atten.
ton of the Committee as to the sue
cess or the lack of success of the
practice is contradictory and irrecon-
cilable. Physical or nervous exhaus-
ton should be avoided by paying due
regard to rest, exercise, physical and
mental labor and hours Of sleep. Non
essential gatherings should be prohi-
bited. Limit gatherings with respect
to size and frequency. Sprays and
gargles do not prevent the nose and
throat from Infection.
Public funerals should be prohibited.
Masks. The wearing of proper
masks in proper manner should be
made compulsory in hospitals and for
all who are exposed to infection.
Isolation of patients suffering from In.
fuenza should be practiced.
Vaccine.
Assuming that the cause Of the cpl
demic Is an unknown virus, it does
not seem possible at present to pre-
vent the disease by vaccination.
The disease will in all probability
occur from time to time during the
coming year. The probability is that
as an after effect of the influenza epi.
demic, there will be an unusually high
pneumonia rate for several years:
The fresh air treatment of the infect.
ed appears to offer the most promise.
