successful in combating influenza, greater attention must be paid to the factors just enumerated
 It is very important that every per son who becomes sick with the dis ease should go home at once and go to bed This will help keep away dangerous complications and will at the same time keep the patient from scattering the disease far and wide. No one should be allowed to sleep in the same room with patient. If there is cough and sputum, care should be taken that all discharges are col lected in rags, or papers, and burned. If the patient complains of fever and headache he should be given plenty of water to drink and cold congresses put to forehead. Only such medicine should be given as is presented by the doctor.
 Will a person who has had infiu- enza before catch the disease again?
 It is we'll known that an attack of measles, scarlet fever or smallpox usu- ally protects person against another attack of the same disease. To some extent this appears to be true also of influenza Just how long such pro- lection lasts is not known. Tn guard ing against disease of all kinds it is important that the body be kept strong and able to fight off disease germs This~can be done by having proper proportion of work, play and rest, and by keeping the body we'll clothed, and by eating sufficient wholesome and properly selected food. In a disease like influenza health authorities every where recognize the very close rela- tiOn between it's spread and over crowding. The value of fresh air through open windows can not be over-emphasized
 So far as avoidance of direct in- lection through inhalation is con- cerned, it is important to beware of the person who coughs or sneezes without covering his mouth anad 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, make ev- cry effort to breathe as much pure air as possible The indirect trans mission of influenza, while more d1f-

suit of the development of pneumonia or some other complication.
 What causes the disease, and how is it spread?
 Bacteriologists who have studied in fiue1lza epidemics in the past have found in many cases veryb small rod shaped germ, called after it's discov erer, Pfeiffer bacillus. In other cases of apparently the same disease there were found pneumococie, the germs Of lobar pneumonia. Still others have been caused by streptococci and by other germs.
 E Several European observers, on the basis of experiments conducted dur, ing the recent pandemic, believe that the germ of influenza is no ordinary bacterium, but that it belongs to a class of exceedingly small germs spoken of as "filterable viruses," be. cause they can pass through the pores of unglazed porcelain filters.
 f No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it is now known that influenza is spread directly and indirectly from person to person. Moreover, judging from experience in other diseases, it is probable that the germ, whatever it's nature, is carried about not only by those who are ill with influenza, but by those who are entirely well. Everything which in wolves personal contact, therefore should be regarded as a factor in spreading influenza
 The germs may be spread quite di- rectly by being carried with the air along with the very small droplets of mucous expelled by coughing, sneez- ing, forceful talking and the like, by one who already has the germs of the disease. To guard against this mode of spread the use of face masks has been advocated. Though their use will reduce the interchange of respi- ratory germs through inhalation, it must be remembered that there are many other paths by which such germs are spread. Soiled hands, com mon drinking cups, improperly cleaned eating and drinking utensils in restau- rants, soda fountains, etc., roller tow els, infected food, etc. The use of face masks appears to make people neglect these other paths of infec- tion, and therefore such use has not been attended with the success pre- dicted for them. If we would be more
