Flu this Year is MIIder

The rules given above, recommended
by the New York City Board of Health.
are guides to good health at all times.
Particularly should they be followed
just now, when Influenza is sgaln
abroad In the land Authorities agree,
however, that the flu this year is less
severe than in the last epidemic the
attacks are shorter and the death rate
lower. In fact, many physicians in
sist that the epidemics now being re-
ported from so many sections are not
fu al all, but simply the old-fashioned
grip.
Keep the Air Passages Healthy
While we know very little more about
the flu now than we did last year
the germ itself has never been posi-
lively identihed-stlll most authorities
agree that the flu germs are breathcd
in. IL the system is in good shape
and the membrane or lining of the
air passages IS in healthy condition
these germs are thrown off.
good plan is to melt little vick's
Vapo- Rub in a spoon, night and morn
Ing, and inhale the vapors, also apply
little up the nostrils several times
day, especially just before being ex-
posed to crowds.
Treat All Colds Promptly
Above all. keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining of the air pas
sages and make them real breeding
grounds for germs. Prompt use OF
Vick's Eapo.Rubs aids In preventing
colds. For head colds, sore throat or
hoarseness. rub yicks well over the
throat and chest and cover with a
warm flannel cloth. FOR deep chest

NEED NOT TRANSFER GERMS
Disease NiIl No. Be Transmitted if
Soi.ed Hands Are Kept Away
From Mouth.

It is glaringly obvious that the bit
ing Of f:!ger nails, the moistening OF
fingers IN turning the pages Of book,
and similar half-conscious acts greatly
enhance the opportunities for planting
undesirable germs where they can null
tiply," says the Journal Of the Ameri7
can Medical Association. "On the
fingers they may be harmless; trans
fe-red to the mouth they have wide
field for development.
sThe soiling Of the hands is impos-
sible to avoid altogether, but the swal-
lowing of germs from ones own soiled
hands is largely under individual con-
troll.
.It may fairly be assumed that the
most useful safeguards against this
form of disease transmission are to be
found in such practices as hand wash
ing and in refraining from using the
tongue or the lips as a moistenlng-pac'
rather than in hysterical attempts at
avoidance of all hand contamination.
Children are best protected through
the icculcation Of similar desirable
habits at an early age. In a word.
some degree of hand-contamination IS
unavoidable; but the transference OF
the communicating germs to the mouth
IS largely under individual control and
is subject to the powerful influence Of
early-formed habit"

from Washington recently, says the

chimes will be used to find forest fires,
map out forest and other surveys and
to act as detectives to find outlaw
cotton planters in Texas, Arizona and
southern California.
Lieutenant Compere at Ellington
year ago investigated the cotton stu
alton. Owing to danger Of an inva-
sion Of pink bolworm from Mexico 1t
was necessary to create restricted
safety zones where no cotton could be
grown. Certain outlaw planters in
land surrounded by heavy forests have
defed the government and planted In
these districts, which are difficult to
find. The young Californian took a
camera with him, cruised over the for
ests at a 7o0o-foot altitude, and
snapped seven outlaw fields. The
fields were destroyed. Compere has
been released from service and will
soon return to California to organize
the agricultural aviation scout work on
this coast.

BIZ uBBER 4 DELICIOUS WAND
Said 70 Be Of Immensely Pleasant
Taste, When Eaten Raw From i i
- -, the Seal. SIG sig

It has always been a mystery to me
why the word "blubber" should carry
such a dfsagreeable connotation to mil
lions of people, though not one IN a
million has ever tasted it, writes VII
hjalmur Stefansson in Harper's.
T am often asked what seal meat
tastes like and am driven to saying
that it tastes like seal meat, Tor II does
not resemble any commonly known
tvpe of meat. But neither does mutton
resemble any meat known to me, and
still mutton is good eating, and so is
seal. But the fat is much easier to
describe. When the blubber is eaten
raw, as we commonly eat it by prefer
ence, it has a flavor very Similar to
that Of fresh cows cream, but when
boiled it closely resembles the fat Of
mutton. For that reason Mr.. Wilkins,
who came from the sheep district of
Australia, was that member OF our
whole expedition who most readily fell
into the eating Of the seal fat.
In general most men refrain from
tasting blubber because it is named
blubber, until they become so fat hun
cry that they are eventually driven to
trying it, and when they try it, to their
surprise they invariably find it so de
licious that, if not restrained, they
overeat and, as is well known, overeat-
ing any form of fat causes nausea and
other distressing symptoms. After one
or two experiences of this sort am
now careful never to allow man to
eat all the blubber he wants the first
time he tries it, for if he gets sick he
is almost certain to blame the seal
and not his own gluttony.

FOR BEAUTY, NOT PLUMBING.
French Chateau Owner Had Amer
leans Remove Modern Improves
ments They Had Installed. Il

IN our anxiety to get results in
France we were often tactless from a
French point of view. This cause OF
irritation was exaggerated by our gen.
eral ignorance Of the language. Won
der if the American schools, after this,
will teach US speaking French instead
Of the book French they taught in my
generation?
And we ran into certain French
peculiarities which we found it hard to
understand. For example. early in our
war fine old chateau near Bordeaux
was leased for a headquarters. By the
terms Of the lease we were to leave
everything exactly as we found it
The chateau in it's four or five hundred
years Of existence had never known
sanitary plumbing; the owners bathed
in wash basins or rubber tubs. Ex-
pecting to stay a long time we IN
stalled, by permission, drains. bath
tubs, toilets, water-heating system.
When, last January, we ended the
lease and moved out the officer who
conducted the business offered to leave
the plumbing where 1t was, since its
removal would costias much as it was
worth. The French owner refused. We
had to take out our plumbing. What
he wanted from that chateau was not
sanitation, but venerable beauty, and
the sense that he d--elt in the same
identical home a. + ancestor Of the
tenth generation back.
The American finds it hard to under
stand such point Of view; and he is
a bit brusque in expressing his opinion
thereon. Irwin in the Saturday
EEenipg Post.
