LAFAYETTE, WE ARE STILL
HERE
By DR.. Frank Crane

Any one who judges America by it's politi-
cal acts is mistaken.
To understan, America one must realize
that it is vast beehive of people who are at
tending to their own business. They want as
little government as possible and what they
do they do for themselves and do not expect
officials to do for them.
1t must not therefore, be understood that
the real America is holding aloof from Eu-
rope and it's dist ess, as our political acts
might indicate.
Especially is this true in the case of our
relations with France. America and France
have always been sweethearts
France was the nation most deeply injured
by the iron heel of German militarism. 1t
will take at least ten years to repair the
physical damage done by the terrific Prus-
sian onslaught.
Seven per cent of the total area of France
has been desolated. The report of the Ameri-
can committee for devastated France says:
Gin this territory most of the fields are
still desert wastes full of shell-holes, the
farm houses are ruined, the prosperous in
dustrial centers and villages completely de-
stroyed. More than 600,0 900 wrecked houses
were counted in this region. Furthermore,
of the 100000 Frenchmen who died in the
war 900, 900 were men of The devastated dis
| tricts.''
The committee s.bove mentioned is now at
work in campaign to raise $1,25O, 900 in
the United States to assist beloved France
to recover from her terrible wounds. This
sum is needed in the vast ork of recon
struction, such as supplying hospitals, work
rooms, looms and sewing machines; supplies
of live stock, tools, seeds, building materials
clothing, etc.; loans of money to the farmers
and merchants to help them to their feet;
schools of manual training and domestic
science; transportation; rebuilding of homes
schools, and churches; food and care for the
| children.
One of the most affecting problems is that
of the children. The four years of terrible
privation have done them infinite harm.
The agents of the American committee are
at work especially on the problems of the
Aisne and are doing everything humanity pos
sible to restore this region which has been
scared and SCARED by war.
| This committee asks and ought to receive
the help of eve American whose prosperity
has not hardened his heart
| You can send in your contributions, no mat
how small, to Joseph r. Swan, treasurer, 1 40
Broadway, New York City.
Said the mayor of Anizy:
| "a star of the American Flag became de-
tached and is fixed above the Afsne. By its
light we live"

A LULLABY

The moon, with fingers dipt in light,
Spreads DER the earth a glow;
The f1eecy clouds caress the night,
While over all the flow
Of gentle wind that softly sing
A tender lullaby
To one who came-all peace to bring
From out the quiet sky:
80 little One, who slumbers deep,
We pray that Thou shalt lull to rest
All save the good, that men may keep
This Vision of the Blest!"

BOIL THE GERMS OUT
By H. Addington Bruce

| T F you want to prevent colds from running
| through your entire family, if you want
to help keep influenza, pneumonia, and
other respiratory diseases from becoming
epidemic, see to it that your table dishes
after every meal are washed hot merely in
lukewarm water, but in water that is at a
boil. Medical authorities are beginning to
emphasize this as one of the most essential,
| though one of the most commonly ignored,
| measures for the prevention of winter
| plaques
| I wish, indeed, that a certain article in a
recent issue of the New York Medical Record
could be placed in the hands of every man
| and woman. 1t is an article by DR.. Charles
Lynch, a colonel in the medical corps of the
United States army, and it details findings of
sundry influenza rearches in military camps.
DR.. Lynch frankly gives it as his opinion
that the non-sterilization of eating utensils
used by victims OF colds influenza, etc., and
afterward used by other people, is perhaps the
most potent of all causes of spreading saliva
borne Infection. He bases this belief on a
number of remarkable observations as the
following:
when the influenza epidemic struck us at
Newport News we had two groups Of soldiers,
one of which used mess kits which were wash
ed in tepid water. The other group use table
ware or washed their mess kits in boiling wa
ter.
"Our consolidated tabulation shows the lat
ter-the table ware group, including the in
dividual method, but with boiling water-had
strength of 9,778, with 412 cases of in
f1uenza. The fOrmer-the individual mess
kits in tepid water-had a strength Of 49,
727, with 2,543 cases.
Also, detailing influenza conditions at an
ordance depot:
Besides the soldiers present many civil
ians were employed there. They and the
small ordance organization constituted 1,150
persons, and messed from table ware Their
rate of influenza an eighteen-day period
was 80 per 1000, with an average daily in
cidence of As per 1000.
"The two fire and guard organizations,
whose strength 445, ate from mess kits
washed by the old-line method. In eighteen
days they had III cases.
"Yet in every respect the first and guard
organizations were better off from the SAM
tary standpoint than the greatly overcrowded
civilian group, save only in their method of
washing their eating utensils"
Further than this, DR.. Lynch describes ex-
periments leaving little doubt as to the part
played by ordinary washing methods in trans
hitting infection. Boil, boil, boil is the les
son these experiments stress.
And while DR.. Lynch's warning message is
addressed primarily to military authorities,
it clearly is of equal import to civilians In
the home, the club, the hotel, the restaurant,
personal safety against winter diseases would
indeed seem to depend more than most of us
suspect on sterilization of the dishes out of
which we eat our food the knives, the forks,
and the spoons with which we eat it,

WORRIES CAUSE SUICIDE

William Freeman, better known as
"Dick" Freeman, lifelong resident
of Shiawassee county, shot and killed
himself Sunday morning. The shoot
ing occurred in a gully just north of
the main street of Henderson.
Freeman left his home in Hender-
son at o'clock, wearing his hunting
co at. His wife saw him take his shot
gun, and asked him what he was 60
ing to do with it. If he made any re-
ply his wife did not hear it.
When they reached the gully,
through which a small stream flows,
the father told his boy to go up
stream ways and look for fish. A
moment later the son heard the report
of the gun, and looking around, saw
his father lying PROSTATE on the
ground. Badly frightened, the young
ster ran home, and told his mother,
who with neighbors hurried to the
scene. They found Freeman dead.
He had placed the muzzle of his
gun at his right temple and used a
stick to press the trigger.
Freeman's act is believed to have
BEEN caused by merttal depression
caused by the cost of the new home
which he was building. Although he
had said, nothing to his wife about it,
he had told neighbors that the ex-
pense was running much higher than
he had expected it to. Friends have
noticed that he had been depressed
for some time.
Mr.. Freeman was born in New
Haven township 81 years ago and had
lived all his life in New Haven and
Rush townships. He prospered on his
farm and was well off. Some months
ago he sold his farm and two months
ago moved to Henderson and started
work on fine home. He was widely
known throughout the northern part
of the county, as an industrious, pro-
gressive farmer whose integrity was
unquestioned and who was respected
wherever known. His act comes as a
great shock to his many friends.
Surviving Mr.. Freeman are his
widow, who is his second wife, and
the following children: Mrs. Robert
Rourke, Rush township, and Lois,
Donald and Gale, living at home. He
also leaves his aged parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Freeman, of Owosso;
two sisters, Mrs. William Lindsey,
New Haven; Mrs. Wesley Hurrle,
Chesaning, and one brother, Milton
Freeman, of Rush township.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon at the home of Fred Gal
loway, and at 2:30 at the Union
church.
