His Old Creditors
Harry Kemp, Who Ran Off
With Mrs. Sinclair, Says
He Will Give Banquet and
Pay Up Fete in Kansas

Harry Kemp, the tramp poet" who
in 1910 ran, away with the wife Of
Upton Sinclair, the novelist, and
whose exploits have made him
unique figure in literary circles here
and in England, has served notice on
his creditors, in Lawrence, Kan, that
he intends to pay every cent he owes
them.
Kemp, who contracted the obliga-
tions between 1905 and 1909, when
working his way through the Uni
versity of Kansas and writing his
earliest poems, made declaration of
his intentions in paid display ad-
vertisement which appeared in a re-
cent issue of the Lawrence daily news
paper, "The Journal World" Kemp,
who lives in New York City and whose

Plattsburg Mems
Support Is Urged
For Training Bill
Preparation of Youths for
Service Is Provided in
Measure DIN Congress;
Guard Revival Planned

An open letter to former Plattsburg
man and others interested in universal
military training in America has been
ssnt out by the Military Training
Camps Association. urging support for
IT'S universal training bill shortly to be
introduced in Congress BY Senator
George Chamberlain, Of Oregon. and
Representative julius Kahn, of Califor-
AHA
Ths plan Of instruction provided by
the bill includes vocational as we'll as
military training Of youths of eighteen
and nineteen, using the sixteen conton.-
n,ents now belonging to the army as
great schools for the youth Of the
country. Elementary instruction for IL
zat,on would be automatically con-
ferred on aliens undergoing the train
ing. while those declining would be for
ever debarred from citizenship.
The main purpose OF the bill is a
large reserve OF trained young men in
lieu of great standing army, the Swiss
plan being followed. On leaving the
training camps the men would be or
ganized territcrially for ten years Dur
ing the first five years, as a first line
reserve, they would be subject to peri
odical training, each period continuing
not more than two weeks, with pay Tor
the men and provision for their depen-
dents.
Instructors in the training camps and
for the territorial reserve would be
drawn from the ranks of reserve off,
GERS. Non-commissioned officers of the
armies raised for service in France
would be eligible for commission rank
if qualified. Training schools for them
also are provided under the terms of
the bill.

WILL A PERSON WHO HAS HAD
INFLUENZA BEFORE CATCH
TIE DISEASE AGAIN?
1t is well known that ar attack
of measles or scarlet fever or small
pox usually protects person a.
gainst another attack OF the same
disease. To some extent this appears
to be true also of Spanish in
fuenza." Just how long such pro-
lection lasts is not known.
HOW CAN ONE GUARD
AGAINST INFLUENZA?
In guarding against diseases Of
all kinds, it is important that the
body be kept strong and able to
fight off disease germs. This can be
done by having a proper proportion
of work play, and rest, by keeping
the body well clothed, and by eat
ing sufficient, wholesome, and prop
erly selected food. In connection
with diet, it is well to remember
that milk is one of the best all
round foods obtainable for adults as
well as children. In disease like In
fluenza health authorities every
where recognize the very close re-
lation between its spread and over
crowding. While it is not always
possible, especially in times like the
present, to avoid overcrowding,
people srould consider the danger
and make every effort to reduce
home overcrowding to a minium'
The value of fresh air through open
windows can not be overemphasized.
SO far as avoidance of infection
through inhalation is concerned, 1t
is important to bewae of the person
who coughs or sneezes witout cover
ing his mouth and nose. 1t also fol-
lows that one should keep out OF
crowds and stuffy places as much as
possible; keep homes, Offices, and
workshops well aired; spend some
time out of doors each day; walk 20
work If at all practicable;in short
make every effort to breathe as
much pure air as possible.
The indirect transmission of in
nuenza, while more difficult to avoid
can yet be guarded against by a
little thought Less shaking of
hands, stunning unclean soda fount-
aims and restaurants, avoiding the
use of common drinking cups and
towels. insistance on the observance
of sanitary practices ins food-hand-
ling establishments, and on the en-

OF deaths is usually low, in some
places the outbreak is severe and
deaths are numerous. When death
occurs 1t is usually the result of the
development of pneumonia or
of some other complication.
WHAT CAUSES THE DISEASE
AND HOW II 1T SPREAD?
Bacterioligists who have studied
influenza epidemics in the past have
found in many of the cases very
small rod-shaped germ, called, after
its discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In
other cases of apparently the same
kind OF disease there were found
pneumococci, the germs of lobar
pneumonia. Still others have been
caused by streptococci, and by other
germs.
Several European observers, on
the basis of experiments conducted
during the recent pandemic, believe
that the germ of influenza is no or
binary bacterium but that it belongs
to class of exceedingly small
germs spoken of as "flterable vir-
uses, because they can pass
through the pores OF unglazed
porcelain filters.
No matter what particular kind OF
germ causes the epidemic, it is now
known that influenza is spread dir
ectly and indirectly from person 20
person. Moreover, judging from ex-
perience in other diseases, 1t is
probable that the germ, whatever its
nature, is carried about not only by
those who are i'll with influenza but
nv persons who may be entirely well.
Everything which increases person
al contact. therefore, should be re-
garded as factor in spreading in
huenza.
II is clear that there are many
different ways in which such germs
may be spread from person to per-
son. Thus they may be spread quite
directly by being carried with the
air along with the very small drop
lets of mucus expelled by coughing,
sneezing, forceful talking, and the
like. by one who already has the
germs of the disease. To guard a.
gainst this mode of spread the use
of face masks has been advocated.
Through the use of suitably con-
structed masks will reduce the in
trrchange of respiratory germs
through inhalation, it must be re-
membered that there are many
other paths by which such germs
are spread, either directly or in
directly Soiled hands. common
drinking cups, improperly cleaned
eating and drinking utensils in rest
aurants. soda fountains, etc, roller
towels. infected food these are
only a few of the common vehicles
of germ transmission.
The use of face masks appear TO
make people neglect these other
raths of infection, and therefore
sucb use has not been attended with
the success predicted for them. II
we would be more successful In
combating influenza greater att
ention must be paid TO the factors
Just enumerated.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE BY
THOSE WHO CATCH The
DISEASE? -.

DtcEI.tSE.
II is very important that every
person who becomes sick with in
fluenza should go home at once and
go TO bed. This will help keep away
dangerous complications and will, at
the same time, keep the patient
from scattering the disease far and
wide. II is highly desirable that
no one be allowed to sleep in the
same room with the patient, In tact,
no one but the nurse should be al
lowed in the room.
If there is cough and spittum or
running of the eyes and nose, care
should be taken that all such dis
charges are collected on bits or
gauze or rag, or paper napkins, and
burned. II there is diarrhea, great
care should be taken TO prevent
spreading khe disease through
soiling of the hands, clothing, or bed
linen. Practically the same precaut-
ions that a nurse takes when attend
ing a case of typhorid fever should
then be instituted. If the patient
complains of fever and headache he
should be given water to drink, a
cold compress to the forehead, and
light sponge bath. Only such med
ieine should be given as is prescrib-
ed by the doctor. 1t is foolish TO ask
the druggist to prescribe, and may
be dangerous to take the so-ralled
safe. sure, and harmless remedies
advertised by patent medicine man
