The influenza is less dangerous
this year than last because people
are happier and better nourished.
The best health insurance is health.
All disease becomes less danger
Gus and less frequent in its attacks
as all people go more hand in hand
with laws of nature. So long as
some of the people contract disease
just so long will they transmit it to
Others who are healthy and ought to
escape it. 4 s
There are reasons for everything,
including the flu. Every human
body carries around lot Of germs
capable of causing disease if their
number becomes large enough, and
every healthy human body carries
also enough anti-disease elements to
keep the germs down, unless they be
augmented by an incoming horde
from the outside.
The powers of darkness work in
the dark, and germs live in dirt. The
first thing to do to prevent disease
then is to prevent accumulations of
dirt and waste and let plenty of clean
fresh air and sunshine in. Lack of
these things breaks down resistance

to any disease attack.
disease and health are as opposite
as crying and laughing, as sorrow
and joy, as dark and light. Sum
shine, joy and health are allies. Dis
ease spreads under the favorable
conditions of darkness, unhappiness
and foul air by contact just as rot
spreads in a barrel of apples. Sick
ness is the penalty of disregard for
natures self-evident rules. And
they not only suffer who invite dis
ease, but they also who are nearby.
Altho in treating all troubles of
the lungs plenty of fresh air, is al
ways insisted on by the best physi-
clans yet only, a small part of the
people believe that fresh, cold air is
not harmful. There was great up
roar in some of the army hospitals
two years ago when owing to scarcity
of housing space many men were put
out-of-doors on verandas and in
tents, and yet the death rate of out
door patients was not much more
than half that of indoor patients.
Even the nurses who caught the flu
kicked at being put out of the house
and having their lives saved thereby.
When the public is finally con-
WINGED Of the healing power of fresh
air and sunshine public epidemics
will lose their kick.
The American public has almost,
but not quite, been taught that filth
produces typhoid fever, and that
form of disease has been reduced to
a minimum At the same time lung
diseses, and foremost among them,
pneumonia, are in the increase be-
cause of filthy air. One of the great
est checks the army put upon cpl
denies two years back was thin
ming out of the men so that only a
half dozen should live in one tent in
stead Of nine, ten and twelve. At the
same time it was next to impossible
for the authorities to make the men

| 5ALUTlNG THE
| ANTHEM

| Even with two years of war eX-
perience the American people of
Blackfoot did not all accept one gen
eral rule for showing reverence to
our national anthem,
| Less than two weeks ago a con-
cert orchestra broke into the Star
| Spangled Banner in the midst of the
closing medley and after few bars
the audience began to move audibly,
some got up in the rear, then some
in the front and by the time the
orchestra had reached the last few
strains everybody was on foot.
This. trick of musical performers
who feel that something is needed
| besides their skill of rendition to
| make an impression on audiences
used to be worked more often than
lately. Is it coming back? Is it
a good plan to stick the national
anthem into piece of music to give
1t pep?
The use of the American flag in
advertisements has been banned, and
the use of the national anthem or
parts of it in ordinary musical med
leys has been frowned on, and
practically eliminated in the cities.
However, if the anthem is played
as part of piece of music it is no
longer the anthem as such and
should not be so saluted There
were times early in the war period
when musical performers would play
few bars of the Star Spangled Ban
ner in the middle of medley and
by the time the audience got to it's
feet some other tune was on and
when they sat down again the must
clans again came to few more
strains of the anthem. 1t was not
only ridiculous, but harmful in it's
effect upon any deep feeling the peo-
pie might have of respect for the
anthem.
The worst of it is that many of the
very same folks who jump to their
feet at the theatre whenever a
strain of the Star Spangled Banner
comes up will stand talking on the
street when the unfurled standard
passes by, with their hats on, chat
ting with each other.
Every true American who thrills
with reverence for his flag and his
national anthem will wish to show
respect in the proper way, and not
perform 1t like trickster.-F. C. X.

OUT OF POLL
TICS

1t has long been the defensive
boast of clubs and civic organizations
that they stay out of politics. George
Horace Lorimer, editor of the Sat-
urday Evening Post, puts a heavy
finger on that American custom
when he says that if we are to save
this country from politicians and
radicals we have got to get into
politics and make a cleaning.
Perhaps it wasn't because clubs
kept out of politics that everything
fell in to the hands of organized
political machines of both old parties
but the phrase caught the fancy of
many man who didn't want to be
bothered with national issues any
way. 1t sounded laudable in the
case of a club, and why not in the
case of an individual? M
There is nothing to be ashamed Of
in being enthusiastic over politics.
That is the kind of enthusiasm of
which republics are made.-F. C. X.

heard great deal about how the hens and
pigs paid off the farm mortgages in Iowa,
and we are anxious to see it tried out in
Idaho. If Mr.. Meredith will stake the
boys and girls, and if the boys and girls
with their hens and pigs will have few
fat ones for sale, we will agree to pay
good price for them and help the good
work along. When Meredith loans them
money at per cent he does it as cheaply
as one could afford to, and we will pay

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-EXtremeiy confusing price changes characterized today's session of the stock exchange, the cratic movement being accom- panied by a turnover approximating 10000 shares, the largest total of any day since the early autumn per 'iod.
 The constructive side of the market was again upheld by the railway Gi- vision although some of the group, no- tably Reading and Canadian Pacific as well as many minor issues were subjected to varying degrees of pres Isure.
 Reversals verging upon weakness marked the offerings of steels, ship pings, motors and kindred specialties also score of miscellaneous issues
 in which gross declines of two to five
 points coincided with bearish trade reports.
 Southern Pacific retained it's recent leadership, transactions in that stock far exceeding any other but its fur ther advance of 3as was reduced to
 mere fraction at the end. Included among the other strong and active
 rails were Northern Pacific and Great Northern, the former making a net advance of 39s.
 Gross advances of 1 to 21a points in other transcontinentals, Changers, coaiers and, cotton carriers were much impaired before the finish when indus
 trials were under stronger fire and
 call money rose to 10 per cent, invit- ing increased selling for the short ac- icount.
 One of the disquieting features was tthe general weakness of foreign eX- change. The British rate dropped to the lowest quotation in several weeks,
 French bills were at their minimum for almost six months and Italian re-
 mittances registered new low levels
 with rates on Greece. Strength of Southern Pacific conver- tible lives. again overshadowed all
 dealings in the firm to strong ponu
