ALEXANDER WAS WRONG.

Alexander the Great, who is re.
ported TO have m0aned over the lack
OF worlds 10 conquer, has his imitators
today And they are just as ncAe-
sighted as he was.
Because the lone has been taken out
Of the great homeland and the darkness
lifted from darkest Africa they ina.
CINE there is no more exploring to be
done Yet there is a new world await
Ing man in which he will at no dis.
tant date be sweeping along at a rate
of 200 miles an hour
The air lines already are being
charted and inventors are busy pre-.
pairing appliances for operating in
cold, rarefed air. They are making
such Roadway that DR.. Willis l.. Moore.
for 50 long head OF the United States
weather bureau. has prophesied that
in a quarter century or less human
beings viii be as numerous as in
sects in the air and that aerial nayiga-
ton will be safer than travel by rail
or automobile.
He sta ea that in this new world
there will be no clouds, nor rain, nor
snow, and that man will disport him
self in what is now nearly an un-
tracted wilderness above the earth
OF course, there will be engineering
difficulties TO overcome, but great
Jninds already arc at work on them
and wonders are awaiting us.

INFlUE NZA.

Mild cases Of influenza were report
ed throughout the summer and there
has been tear that the country WOulC
be swept by another flu" epidemic
this fall or in he coming winter.
The Illinois department of health i,
advising health authorities in all cities
to quarantine all cases wherever
found Isolating the early ones as
soon as they appear the board be
lieveS, is the most effective manner
OF fighting OFF another epidemic
While physicians who have special
lied in contagious diseases look Tor IA
return of the flu this fall they eX-
pect it in Il mild form only
This will be the third consecutive
yearly visit of this sc0urse and they
believe it will be the final one for 3
period of years. They base their con
illusions on the history of such cpl
denies in the past One authori Y
says:
'All great epidemics run a similar
course, save when science discovers
some method Of cure or prevention
which cuts them short,
Most people are stricken in the
first onset, and a larger proportion Of
those affected die than in any suh5c-
quent attack. The mex. year there S
a lighter, milder recurrence of the dis
order, and frequently it comes back
the third year for final visit But
the point to remember is that every
epidemic shows a steady decline Il
yirulence from the time 1t reaches its
height in its first rush until it disap-
pears altogether Flu il no eXcCp.I
ton to the rule 1t has run true to
torn for two years, and may be trust
ed to do so now.
There are many reasons for this.
Resistance to disease always is in
creased by contact with IT, When a /
new epidemic comes, no one is i'm
mune, but all who get ii and recover
have developed at least some degree
Of immunity. In the last two years
it is safe to say that virtually every
one has had at least touch OF the
'tiu,' and therefore has gained some
measure OF resistance to it which he
did not have before
This is probably the chief factor IN /.
the uniform soitenng' Of epidemicy. .
Another is that better methods of pres
vention and treatment are developed .
through experience. Still another Is
that the disease germ Itself seems -
undergo decline in vitality
AS for ways Of tightening the raw
ages of this disease, the rules are ,
simple, Take warning at the first
signs Of anything that looks like flu
and keep away from other folks and
stay under competent treatment uutil

Friedlander's Wonderful Building
Sale Offers Odd Trousers at
Prices that Mean Money in the

vantage.

Washington is alive with the
news of the great values being Of
fered economical men of Washing
ton during the Great Building Sale
now in progress at Friedlander
Brothers, 42s Ninth street north
west. Building operations have
forced them to clear out stock to
make more room for the builders.
Because OF this Friedlander Bros
have made enormous reductions on
their great stock of odd trousters.
They have actually reduced them
to less than cost price. They must
have the room. The store has been
jammed to the doors day after day
by men who appreciate q good bar
gain when they see It.
To make 1t easier to choose, the
stock has been divided into six lots
at the following prices:
Trousers, formerly sold at S.. are
now offered at $3.s5; $3.50 Trousers
at IS; $3.50 Trousers at $3.50; $40
Trousers at $3.50; 1880 Trousers at
10; $3.50 Trousers at $3.50. So
large Is the stock and so varied the
styles, sizes and fabrics, that II is
possible to match almost any odd
coat with these brand-new Trousers,
giving q practically new suit at far
below the usual cost of the Trou-
sers alone.

lay eggs on q Monday. or on some

average. as the small boy remarked
in the old story. but New York has
produced hen which lays eggs on
an Ice box. Can you beat that?
The answer, Of course, Is: Who'd
want to beat an egg as fresh as the
product of that hen? -.
Biddy is one of q fiock Of eight
belonging to Mrs. J. Knudson.

speeding up production Of her spe-
ciality during the cold winter
months at the rate OF 23s eggs a

was something of q record, but
when Biddy abandoned laying on an
average in favor of laying on the
family ice box, she concluded that
at last a chicken with an intellect
had been produced.

her was q basket, and In the basket
