there were reported 9,395 deaths from

ing total of more than $4,000 deaths

which started in 1899 was not over

1t is no close secret that dismal
failure has met every attempt thus
far to start a political breeze in Ten
nessee. In spite of the most strenu-
Gus efforts made in that interest, the
political pot refuses to boil.

nomination in opposition to Governor
Roberts for a second term is now de-
MED. Howbeit, it is understood that
he has had the proposition put up to
him by influential gentlemen who
supported him against Roberts in
their first race. No word has come
from Mr.. Peay; nobody has dared to
speak for him on the subject. Mr..
Peay is good gubernatorial timber. He
is one Of the states foremost citi-
zens, great lawyer and man whom
all Tennessee would delight to honor,
but it has been the custom in this
state TO many years to reward the
governor with a second term, and if
there is any movement on the part of
the people to change that custom it
has not appeared on the surface of
things so that one could notice it,

sistance is poor goes on and dies. In
dividual resistance is maintained by
right living.
Stay away from sick folks. That
rule holds good in "fiu" prevention
and in the prevention of any commun-
icable disease.
If influenza or colds" or "sore
Threats" become at all prevalent,
avoid crowds.
See to it that the normal activity
of the exetory organs-skin, bowels
and kidneys-is maintained These
organs are nearly always sure to
work right if you will let them work
right by your right living.
If You Do Get Sick.
If the flu gets you, go home and go
to bed. Don't try to wear it out, nor
drown it out in whisky, or to knock it
out with asperin or any other drug.
By going home and to bed you give
yourself the best chance for getting
well and remove yourself as a source
of danger to others in the store or Of
flee or on the street.
Don't load up on all sorts of medi-
cine. II you are sick much call your
doctor and do what he tells you. Don't
tell him what to do and don't insist on
his giving you medicine you don't
need and which he don't want to give.
The truth is that unless one is quite
i'll there is little need for medicine in
the treatment Of influenza. A simple
purgative at the beginning may be all
that is necessary. But when medicine
is needed it is needed for specific
purposes and the doctor knows.
Keep your body warm. Don't
swelter under piles of cover, but keep
warm and avoid becoming chilled at
all times.
Let the air into your room.
Keep everybody but the nurse and
the doctor out of the room.
Eat plenty but not too much of
nourishing and easily digestable food.
Stay in bed until you have no fever
and then stay in bed some more.
When your fever has been gone for
reasonable time, get up and spend
another two or three days at home.
Then 60 to your business, but don't
try to do it all at once. Give yourself
a chance to get normal all over.
Many man died in the late "flu"
epidemic because he wouldn't go to
bed when he became sick. Others died
because they wouldn't stay in bed un-
til they were well, Some died, no
doubt, because they were "overtreat-
ed" with all sorts of stuff.
Don't take any chances with infu-
enza.

is THE INFLUENZA
COMING BACK?

DR.. 0hlen West, secretary of the
Tennessee State Board of Health,
had long article in the Nashville
Banner a short time ago, giving gen.
eral influenza statistics in Tennessee
and suggesting action to be taken in
event of return of the epidemic which
cost more lives than an other vista
ton ever had in the state, including
both Asiastic cholera and yellow fe-
ver-for those plaques were confined
to some Of the cities and towns, while
influenza swept the whole state
even the most remote rural sections,
in some Of which it did most havoc
because of the difficulty in obtain
ing medical advice and treatment.
DR.. West says that in the space of
three and half months, from Sep
TENDER 18th to December 90th, 1918,
there was reported to the State
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1919-09-26

tiles and if the local medical and
nursing forces are not sufficient, the
local board should make application
for aid to the State Board of Health.
While we cannot give all of the val
liable article, we herewith stretch our
space to reproduce the suggestions on
what to do by individuals to ward off
the disease and in cases where indi-
viduals are stricken.
(Here we can suggest that if DR.. A..
E. Brown, of Bemis, can treat, as he
did, thousand cases of flu and not
lose patient, the State Board would
do well to secure his cooperation and
advice in event of another epidemic
Of the distressing and often fatal
ailment.)
What Individuals Should Do.
Since the specific cause of infu-
enza is not known and all methods of
transmission of the disease are not
definitely understood, it is only pos
sible to lay down general rules for the
individual to follow in an effort to
prevent the spread of influenza and
to save his own life and future health.
Keep fit! To do that it is neces-
sary to observe the rules of common
sense living.
The right sort of food, in right
amounts, properly prepared, and eat
en- at the right times in the right way
will help you to keep well.
Rest and sleep at the proper time
and in the proper amount are neces-
sary for the maintenance of bodily
vigor. A reasonable amount of work
never hurt anybody if performed I'M
der the proper conditions. On the
other hand, it is essential that one
should work if health is maintained.
Avoid overwork. Any machine, hui
man or otherwise, is capable of per-
forming only a certain amount of
work without strain. When the strain
begins, the degeneration of some or
several parts of the machine begins,
too. Then it is easy for the whole
thing to go to smash.
Fresh air day and night, is essen
tial to health. Mighty few "colds"
were ever caught outdoors; practi-
cally all of them have always been
caught" indoors, where the fresh air
has been excluded.
Bodily resistance is the commodity
that you want to supply yourself with
and to maintain in high degree in or
der that you may keep well. That's
the thing that determines whether
you overcome the germs of disease or
the germs of disease overcome you.
The man with good resistance does
not get sick easily, as does the fellow
with poor resistance and when the
man with good resistance does get
sick he fights the thing out and gets
well, while the other whose bodily re-
