BURLINGTON, june 2S-The
gymnasium of the University of
Vermont was crowded this morning
at the annual commencement eXer-

vermont was fashioned by men
with an overwhelming desire to be
free. They had their hardships and
their problems, but these differed
from those of the original colonlsts,
whose chief effort in their formative
period had been for existence. Here
it was for independence. There was
never any doubt about their ability to
survive in their contest with nature.
What was to be he outcome Of their
contest with nature. What was to be
the outcome Of their contest with men
was not so sure. They could exist,
but they could be free and independ-

deep determination of a hardy people

university. With the dircctness OF

the source that exists throughout all
generations, a knowledge of the
truth.

"The people were to he educated

that this university first conceived

| should then be instituted. If the patient complains of fever and headache he should be given water to drink and a cold compress to the forehead. Only such medicine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor, if doctor is available. It is foolish to ask the druggist to prescribe, and may be dangerous to take the so-called "safe, sure and harmless" remedies advertised by patent medicine manufacturers.
 If the patient is so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must look after others in the family, it is advisable that such attendant wear wrapper, apron, or gown over the ordinary house clothes, while in the sickroom, and slip this off and wash and disinfect his hands when leaving to look after the others. The patient should have separate dishes, and these should be ''sterilized with BOILING water aft CT use oft tS l., we'll to guard against breathing in dangerous disease germs by wearing a simple fold of gauge or mask }while near the patient.
 Home Treatment.
 , In case doctor is not available,
 the following home treatment is recommended until such time as
 expert advice can be obtained and
 proper medicines prescribed:
 The first thing to do in all cases ' where the "fu" is suspected is to

 bed immediately. When there, see , that he has enough bed clothing to l keep him warm and comfortable l The bedroom should have some fresh air coming into it all the
 time. When the patient must leave the bed for the purpose of going to the toilet or for any other pur. l pose, the window or door that ha: : been open to allow fresh air te 5 come in must be closed, so there 3 shall be no current of cold air com v ing on to the warm skin of tht {. patient. ":.+ It would be much better for tht s patient to use bed-pan from tn, . very beginning of his going to bed f so there would be no risk of gettins - cold, or the body the least bi - chilled.
 e During the epidemic that we pass Il ed through last year. there wer d thousands of deaths that might hav s been avoided had the patient no
 gotten up too soon from the bed n or had he not been chilled in goin 1t ito cold toilet. This could al is have been avoided by using bed J. pan.
 l. In some cases where there is yer
 little fever and very little veal
 ness, the patient may be kept war; y and get out of bed at the time tn a. bowels or kidneys act.
 If the patient has any sympto1 ,r of a cough, care must be exercise re for fear that he may be gettin S. pneumonia, which is the most usu of complication and which has cause Id the majority of deaths.

nose. It also follows 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; in short, make every eff fort to breathe as much pure air as possible.
 The indirect transmission of in- fluenza, while more difficult to avoid, can yet be guarded against by little thought. Less shaking of hands, avoiding the use of com mon drinking cups and common towels, insistence on the observance of sanitary practices in food-hand- ling establishments-these are all measures by which every citizen can safeguard himself against infection. Their more general practice would do much to prevent the spread of disease generally To a large ex- tent the prevention of influenza can
 be summed up in the single word, I"cleanliness."

INFLUENZA.

Territory of Alaska, Office of Com-
 missioner of Health, Juneau.
 Influenza is communicated only bv direct contact; generally by coughing or sneezing. It is also carried by soiled hands, dirty hand kerchiefs, roller towels, etc.
 It cannot be communicated thru the mails.
 It is thought often to be transmit ted through the medium of "car- riers" or persons showing no symp- toms themselves. Serums are sup posed to lend immunity to certain extent, but are not absolute.
 Symptoms.
 In most cases person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud denly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, ab- domen, etc., and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the patients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises froM 100 degrees to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. In most cases the pulse remains relatively slow.
 In appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyelds may be slightly "blood- shot," or congested, as the doctors say. There may be running from the nose, or there may be some cought. These signs of cold may not be marked; nevertheless the pa tient looks and feels very sick. In a number of instances during the recent pandemic large proportion of the cases of influenza showed an intestinal (diarrheaD type of infec- ton.
 In addition to the appearance and the symptoms as already described, examination of the patients blood may aid the physician in recogniz- ing Spanish influence; for it has been found that in this disease the number of white corpuscles show little or no increase above normal
 As already mentioned. most oi the cases are apparently infections of the respiratory organs and re semble very contagious kind ol "cold" Sometimes, however, res piratory symptoms are entirely ab sent and there are merely severe depression, weakness, aches, ant pains throughout the body, ant some fever. In still other case diarrhea is a prominent symptom.
 Ordinarily, the fever lasts iron three to four days and the patien recovers. When death occurs it i usually the result of the develop ment of pneumonia or of some oth CT complication.
 Treatment.
 It is very important that ever person who becomes sick with ir fluenza should consult the doctor.
 If there is cough and sputum c running of the eyes and nose, car should be taken that all such di charges are collected in bits ( gauge or rag, or paper napkins, an burned. If there is diarrhead, gre' care should be taken to prevel spreading the disease through soi ing of the hands, clothing or bt linen. Practically the same pr cautions that a nurse takes whs
