TRACES FLU TO FRENCH HORSES
And Thinks Vaccination Helps It
Along.

j. +. SoOp, WrltlnS W INC DditiiHoie
American, says this about the epidem-
ic of Influenza:
After reading up on the disease
for some time past the writer wishes
to take isue with the learned doctor
of Canada by asserting that the origin
of the flu is no mistery. 1t was origi-
nally an animal disease, that is,it first
made its appearance among animals
and their attendants in France, where
it proved fatal in the years 1911 and
1403 and continued through the inter
val in a mild form more or less until
the 1910 and on to the, year 1857,
when it spread all over Europe, ex-
tending to Spain and South America.
Then in 1923, 1743, IT'S, 1882, 1888
and 1887 it prevailed with remark
able violence. One Of the worst cpl
denies of the flu occurred in the year
1843, followed by another epidemic
in 1872, then it was very prevalent
among horses, and was diagnosed as
epizootic. Again in the year 1890
the epidemic extended over Europe
an the United States and again during
the years 1899 and 1901.
As this disease originated appar-
emily among the animals of France,
especially the horses, and was trans
mitted by them to their various host
lers and thence spread about, is it
not reasonable to think that it has
been transmitted to humanity in late
years through the injection of lymph,
in the form of vaccinations and inocu-
lations, when we know that vaccine
matter is obtained from animal sores
and frequently from horses?
We all know to our sorrow Of the
terrible death rate among the en-
listed men in our camps during the
war. The men who were all compell-
ed to submit to the injections of vac
cine matter.
Why in all these years have not
doctors succeeded in hitting upon a
cure for the flu? Surely it is-not be-
CAUSE they have been restricted by
way of money shortage, for millions
upon millions have been at their COM
mand, together with millions of poor
dumb creatures for experimental pur-
poses.
It is just possible that the first
sufferers with the flu, the horses of
France in 1911, may have eaten Of
something in the pasture or found
growing in the streams that started
and caused all the suffering down to
the present day. And it, would be
well for the medical wiseacres Of to-
day to go to Mother Nature and learn
her valuable secret, her antidote. It
probably will be found to be very
simple remedy, always available and
not needing to be labeled with yard
long Latin or Greek name.

The Best Cough Syrul,

Here's an easy way to save 81, and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard OF this we'll.
known plan Of making cough syrup at
home. But have you ever used it'll
When you do, you will understand
why thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of
q cough will quickly earn it perma-
Yent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2R ounces
of -Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill ZIP the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, it tastes good, never
spoils, and gives you full pint of bet
ter cough remedy than you could buy
ready-made for three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers
cough-usually in "a hours or less. 1t
seems to penetrate through every air
passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or tight
cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the mem.
: hranes, and gives almost immediate
relief. Splendid ! for throat tickle,
hoarseness, Group, bronchitis and bron-
chial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com.
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and has been used for genera
lions for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "21H ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

SPORT LOVERS MUST

President Kirby of Committee Ap-

At Least $4,000 Must Be Raised BY
Popular Subscription to Pay Ex-

to Compete at Antwerp.

If the United States is to send
team to the Olympic games at Ant
weip next summer the expense will
have TO be borne by the sport lovers
of the nation. This was made clear
yesterday by Gustavus I. Kirby,
president of the Olympic committee
of the United States, when he issued
an appeal for fund of at least
$4,000.
From $50 to 200 athletes will make
up the Yankee team and, according to
the estimate of F. w. Ruben, secre-
tary of the y. \. T., it will cost $1,000
per man.
ITO compete for fun may be fun"
Kirby said but TO compete TO win is
not only fun but accomplishment, and
when the winning is bringing honor to
ones country the accomplishment be-
comes a triumph.
For America to succeed she must
have, as always, men and money; ath-
leteS to the number of $50 or more
and money to the amount of $l5O,OOU
or more, all a voluntary contribution
to the furtherance of world knOwl-
edge and world peace through anna
teur sport.

sport for sports sake, let every pa
triot who would see his country tri-
umph, put his hand in his pocket and
donate generously toward the ex-
penses of Americas participation in

Foundation Training.
1.-THE best foundation training" says
Professor Berkey, "for the men who
are to do work in this field of engineer
ing and mining geology is the educa-
tional foundation given to engineers,
and the best additional training is
connected with the fundamental en-
cheering subjects"
This must be accomplished, he
thinks, by a thorough working knowl-
edge of geology almost equivalent to
that given to a Phi. D. candidate. The
practical education problem at Column
bia has been solved by the adoption
Of a course in mining geology in en-
cheering schools as definite branch
of applied science training.
'This three-year course trains men
for advisory and professional work, !"
he says, "in connection with engineer
ing and other operations, involving a
knowledge of ground structure and
conditions, as well as for special stud
les of mining prospects and mine de-
velopment or other more formal geo.
logical investigations. The course
leads to the degree of engineer Of
