WASHINGTON, Aug ij.-"Dspatches
saying that six dreadnaughls OF the
Pacific fleet were shaken by an earth
quake off the coast OF aexica recalls
an amazing incident in the annals OF
the American Navy in which a United

crest OF tidal wave three miles up
the coast, two miles inland and set
down, entirely unharmed. within 100

from the Washington headquarters OF
The National Geographic Society.
This thrilling incident is recounted

fuenza, while more difficult to avoid,
can yet be guarded against by a lit
tie thought. Less shaking of hands,
stunning unclean soda fountains and
restaurants, avoiding the use of COM
mon drinking cup and common towels
insistance on the observance of sani-
tary practices in food handling es-
adjustments and on the enforcement
by the authorities, of sanitary regula-
lions governing such places
are all measures by which every citi-
zen can safeguard himself against in
lection. Their more general practice
would do much to prevent the spread
of disease generally. To large ex-
tent the prevention of influenza can
be summed up in a single word
"Cleanliness.

ed only by doctors, it may be danger
Gus to take the so-called safe, sure
and harmless remedies advertised by
the patent medicine manufacturers.
If the person is so situated that
they cannot be attended only by some
one who must also look after others
in the family, it is advisable that such
attendant wear a wrapper, apron, or
gown over the ordinary house clothes
while in the SIGH room, and slip this
off and wash and disinfect his hands
when leaving to look after the others.
The patient should have seperate
dishes, and these should be sterilized
with boiling water after use.
WILL A PERSON WHO HAS HAD
INFLUENZA BEFORE CATCH
IT AGAIN
1t is well known that an attack of
measels or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects person against an
other attack of the same disease. To
some extent this appears to be true
also of ''Spanich Influenza" Just how
known.
HOW CAN ONE GUARD AGAINST
INFLUENZA?
In guarding against disease 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
we'll clothed, and by eating sufficient,
wholesome and properly selected food
In connection with diet, it is well to
rem ember that milk is one of the best
all around foods obtainable for adults
as we'll as children. In a disease like
influenza health authorities every
where recognize the very close rela-
ton between its spread and over
crowding. While it is not always es-
pecially in times like the present to
avoid overcrowding, people should
consider the health danger and make
every effort to reduce home over
crowding to a minimum. The value
of fresh air thru open windows car
not be over emphasized.
So far as avoidance of direct in
lection thru inhalation is concerned
it is important to beware of the per
son who coughs or sneezes without
covering his mouth and nose. It also
follows that one should keep out Of
crowds and stuffy places as much a:
| nossib1e. keen homes Offices anC
workshops well aired; spend some
time out of doors each day; walk t.
work if at all practicable; in short
make every effort to breathe as mucl
pure air as possible.
The indirect transmission of in

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE By
THOSE WHO CATCH THE
DISEASED
DISEASE?

1t is very important that every per-
son who becomes sick with influenza
should go home at once and go to bed.
This viii help keep away dangerous
complications and will, at the same
time, keep the person from scattering
the disease far and wide 1t is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to
sleep in the same room with the per-
son. In fact no one but the one
nursing should stay in the room
IF there is cough and sputum or
running at the eyes and nose care
should be taken that all such dis
charge be collected on a bit of gauze
or rag, or paper napkins, and be burn
ed. If there is dirrhea great care
should-be taken that all such dis
charge be burned and that special
care be taken that contamination of
others through the soiIing of the bed
linen, Medicines should be prescrib-

Economy in TeIephone Use.

A Brazilian newspaper has been for
some time enjoying the privilege Of
using one telephone line for three
simultaneous conversations. With
three telephone sets at each end of the
line, one pair of users talks English,
one pair French, and one pair Portu-
guese. The listeners seem to find no
difficulty In selecting the sounds in
telligible TO them and ignoring the 9TH
ers. The newspaper people express
great satisfaction with the result, es-
pecially as they pay for only one line.

The above is part of Rev. A. S.
Hale's address to the NJ E. District
Conference, which held two days
session in this city the first of the
week. Evidently Rev. Hale is not
one of those who believe that a
preacher "can do no wrong" by the
way he talks to his brethren of the
'scloth." He is logical forceful
speaker, and writer of ability. In
the several years that he had charge
of the M. E. church at Hays, he add
ed largely to the attendance and to
the membership. He had some enc
mics, of course, as all virile and ag-
gressive men will have-but in the
main, he welded a great influence
for good and the permanent upbuild-
ing of the Masters work in Hays.
