The BIRD. Of old y,rr,n,,.

(Writtcn for Tho Times Dispatch)
In Eden fair. when the earth was
young,
Did tho birds then sing the songs they
sung
Once in Virginia?
DID that garden old seem half so fair.
DID they dream the dreams that haunt
In old Virginia?
Il the birds awake in heavens day,
VIII they sing again their roundc1ay
AS in Virginia?
VIII the blackbird and the robin call
To the bob white on the old stone wall
AS in Virginia?
Will the meadow lark again take wing
And sing as only tho birds can sing
Down in Virginia!
Will tho swallows skim and Ooat and
wheel,
Will they dance in air Virginias reel
AS in Virginia?
Will the hooking bird his song renew
And whistle tho songs so dear to YOU
In old"FirSinia?
II tho birds sing there meath heavens
dome
They will sing the dear old songs OF
home,
Thy songs, Virginia?

7 OCAL health authorities are exhausting
IL every available resource to prepare for
the influenza epidemic, should it descend on
Richmond, as now seems probable, and so far
as knowledge OF the mysterious malady per-
mts they are taking all proper preventive
measures. But their efforts, to be in large
degree successful, must be fully support ed
by individual precaution. Without the lat
ter all that the health authorities can do may
be fruitless in the preservation Of life and
health.
There should be no needless alarm. but
it would be folly to blink the fact that Rich
mond is threatened with another epidemic OF
influenza. The plague is sweeping other
cities, and tho number Of cases here already
has reached startling proportions. Happily
1t is not as yet appearing in a form so virulent
as when it almost overnight swept away
thousands OF Nirginians in 1918, but even
that may be due, in part at least. to improved
methods Of handling it. and the care of the
individual patients, who have been carefully
instructed as to what measures should be
taken when afflicted
Another fact in connection with the malady
must be recognized and boldly stated 1t is
that science knows little il any. more OF the
disease. its origin, cure and prevention than
when nrst lts blGhtlng appearance was felt
III this country. The worlds most brilliant
scientific minds have been engaged in the
lite and death problem OF discovering a serum
or antitoxn that would render the individual
immune, or effect cure. Several times they
have seemed on the verge OF success, but
each time this one OF natures secrets has
cluded them.
The disease remains a ba fling mystery and
all the honest physician can tell with GER
talnty is that its spread is effected by fresh
accretions from the mouth and nose and
mat only by the utmost individual care in
personal habits can one reasonably hone to
escape. SO it is after all that science can do
up 10 the individual man, woman and child

malady in Richmond may become If in

part or the individual no one can foreteu

prone to forgetfulncss, how can there he

OF the public in any step it may deem ncccs-
sary or desirable. So far as is known everv
