To the Editor: Many thanks for
your timely suggestions in regard tc
proper method of combating influ-
enza May l have the privilege of add
ing further word of approval thru
your esteemed paper.
Our city physician tells me that
smodified cnarantine" 1.-THE quaran-
| tinc for Influenza in Salem) permits
well members of a family to have in
gress to and egress from their homes
in which one or more persons are i'll
with influenza, at will, providing they
| stay out of the room in which sick
are being cared for.
| This seems to me to be O very futile
Isort of quarantine. Many individuals
|are doubtless sick for some time be-
fore being isolated; thus exposing an
entire family by direct contact. Even
after patient is confined to single
room, to which only one member of
family is allowed admittance, other
members of the family arc doubtless
exposed ito the disease quite often
during the sickness of the isolated in
dividual. The majority of the sleeping
rooms of our homes are connected by a
door with hall or room used by other
members of the family. Is it not very
probable, with the door of the sick
room being opened quite often, that
the air in hall or adjoining room would
become infected.
Are not these exposed pdople as
likely to take sick in the hank, store,
mill, market, ETC., where they are en-
ployed, or on the train as they are in
their own home
In what way does "modified quar-
antine" protect us
On personal investigation, I find
that the Salem and Deaconess hospit-
ais refuse to receive influenza patients
on account of danger of injecting their
other patients with influenza. A party,
at the Deaeoness hospital tells me that
a number of the physicians of the city
refuse to take their patients to the
hospital if influenza patients are ad
mitted.
If we cannot allow influenza cases
in the hospital, that is under the su-
pervision Of doctors and trained nurs-
es all the time, without danger of con-
tagion to other occupants of the build

RUTH PLANS FOR BRIAN's HOME
COMING
CHAPTER CXXXV.

04AAA a A-At N<A-A-A -
Brian was back with his regiment
/" Good as new," he hadswritten. Ruth
had not again given way to her des
pondency. And now that he was once
more removed from her influence, she
forgot Mollie King-almost.
She kept up her work among the
children of the soldiers, and that, with
her. work in the shop, nttle social
dissipation because of her aunt, and
the care she gave little Brian, kept
her every moment filled
Then came talk Of the war ending
sooner than had been expected. The
Germans were being pushed back day
after day. While losses on both sides
were great, yet those On that Of the
Allies were small as compared to those
of the enemy. The Hun morale, too,
was breaking--ths most dangerous
thing in an army. Eagerly Ruth fol-
lowed the line that each day advanced
farther and farther into the country
occupied by the foe. Like others, she
figured that If the Allies kept goinng
with no real sethaeks, the war must
end.
''Brian win soon be pack If what
the papers says about the war being
soon over is true,' she said to her
aunt one day.
''Yes--I think the fightns - nesr-
" over. II will be long time be-
fore all the soldiers viii come back.
Brian may be one ef those to remain
on duty over there, even If the war
ends. Don I think too much of sec

| ing him soon, dear. 1t would make
your disappointment the greater. Then
there is still the chance
"That he never may come back, ?
Ruth interrupted, "I know. Yet some
way l feel, Aunt Louisa, that he will
mot be wounded again. l feel so sme
he viii come back to baby and me. -
''That is the right way to feel-it
keeps you from worrying /"
Ruth longed to question her aunt.
To ask her if she was planning to re-
main with her after Brian returned.
But she hesitated to do so, fearing her
answer would be that she would go
home when he came back.
In spite of her love for ease and for
pretty things, Ruth had saved sur
prising amount while Brian had been
away. She still paid the rent of the
apartment, but she often said laugh
inglv that it was all she did pay; that
her aunt ran the house. Then, too,
Mrs. Clayborne was constantly buying
clothes for both Ruth and the baby.
She delighted in dressing them both.
SO, aside from her charitable work and
the rent, Ruth had saved almost all
of her salary. She had bought esch
issue of Liberty bonds; and had given
to the Red Cross. But the greater
part of her giving had been to her
own pet eharity-her war-bsbies.
After this talk with her aunt, she
sat down and figured how much she
had saved in various ways; and how
much she could add to it in the next
few menths. Brian would have moth
ing to start with. His salary as a sol
dier, even as commissioned officer.
would scarcely be moro than he need
ed; surely no more than he would
spend, knowing she and the baby were
having everything they wanted. She
had written much ef her aunt,s gen
erosity, and had told Brian many times
to spend his soldier 5 pay for comforts.
She was surprised to see that, by the
time he returned,-even If figured in
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1919-01-12

months,-how much money she would
have at her disposal. She had a plan
in her head which was to be a surprise
for Bfian.
Sc would fit up an office for him
| in a good location. To his slender law
library, she would add books that ht
needed. He could start anew, feeling
that they had money enough ahead so
that his mind could be given to his
work, without the worry he had before
experienced about money. She had
said nothing of this plan to anyone, not
even to her aunt. But as the papers
reiterated their belief that peace was
at hand, she thought more and more of
the pleasure it would give Brian.
''He IL have baby to work for, now, /"
she said to herself with smile. Thai
had he been allowed to work for her
he would have been happier, never oc.
Cured to her; neither did she think 1t
might have prevented much of her own
unhappiness.
Then one day came other news. News
which she hurried home to impart to
Mrs. Clsyborne. She had heard the
newsboys calling: "Wuxtra,'' had
bought one, opened it, and glanced at
the first page, which contained an ac-
count of a big battle, as she walked
along.
"Aunt Louissl where are youl read
this!" she thrust the paper into her
aunt S hand and then leaned over her
shoulder and read with her the news
which had so excited her.

Bravery Under Fire.

KNOWING OUR NEIGHBORS.

To the average citizen of the United States, South
America is almost little known all the region
south of the equator to the rest of the world in the days
when Columbus sailed west instead of SOUTH because he
believed the sea the latter direction ultimately became
boiling hot.
We know that to the south of us lies continent
Joined to us by the Monroe Doctrine and marrow neck
of land called the Isthmus Of Panama.. But here our
knowledge ceases becomes hazy vision of malaria
swamps cloud-capped mountains and poor railroad and
sewer facilities
We have spent much time in the study of European
and Asiatc conditions and our relations to them and
much money in travel in those countries Yet this neigh
Dor so near to remains mystery though within her
bounds is scenery unsurpassed for beauty and variety
and she is possessed Of wonderfully romantic history
Moreover her people, too commonly Jumped as ig-
noran and half sivzed have given the world authors,
musicians uriss orators and physicians OF high rank
The recent extension of news service between the
United States and South America should 60 far toward
remedyng this condition of ignorance and should be OF
mutual benefit There is already comfortable friend
ship but great possibilities lie in increased acquaintance
We shall come to see that South America is no back

of halfshamed toerence but hitherto neglected member
Of the family, who awaits only interest and fostering
care to become the pride of the clan.

LESS GOLD PRODUCED.

The gold output is falling off A committee appoint
ed by Secretary Lane to investigate the situation reports
that the chief for the decrease is the increased
cost of production 1t cost 70 cents last year to produce
dollars worth of god whereas it cost only 81 cents the
year before Naturally this increase lessons the ardor Of
goldproducers although in most other industries 80 per
cent profit would be considered pretty liberal reward
The committee further declares that the future of
gold mining is probematica that the gold output of the
world have passed its zenith and to be destined
to certain decline In order to counteract this tendency
the committee recommends the removal of the govern
ment's excess profits tax on gold mines.
Without passing the merits of this particular rem
edy it may be said that dmnuton in the worlds gold
output will not work any great hardship mankind in
general 1t is the tremendous production of gold that
is primarily responsible for the steady troublesome rise
in prices during the last decade.
Regardless of war and other temporary factors, as
long the gold supply increases dsproportonately
it has been doing, and remains the sole standard Of
values the prices of other commodities bound to keep
on rising with continuous unsettlement of values and
continual need of re-adjustments.
AS long as we have better standard of value, it
would be blessing if the output curtaied enough to
keep the visible gold supply stationary for while
