Influenza, also known as La Grippe
or epidemic catarrh. recurs almost
each year at about this time in q
mild epidemic form. There have been
numerous epidemics in the past but
none as serious as in 1913. It is be-
lieved that some atmospheric change
determines the severity of this dis
ease, but the exact cause of its
spread IS unknown. There are many
instances where isolated ships or col
onies have contracted influenza with
out any known means of communica-
ton with epidemic areas.
This disease usually starts with q
sudden attack of fever, chilling, shiv-
ering, headache and pains through
out the muscles of the body. followed
by an acute sore throat. The urine
becomes highly colored, indicating
that the body is excreting a great
deal Of poison through the kidneys.
The bladder becomes irritated and
sometimes inflamed.
Influenza may attack any organ of
the body, but the three principal
forms are: the respiratory. where the
lungs and bronchial tubes are affect
ed; the nervous. where the central
nervous system is especially affected;
and the digestive. People with good
vitality. who are young and slightly
overweight, seem to be especially
susceptible to influenza, although it
respects neither age nor sex.

two harmful conditions, auto-intoxi-
cation and enervation. Late hours.
mental overwork and destructive hab-
its or thought are the principal
causes of the enervation, and the
auto-intoxication may be produced by
overeating, wrong food combinations
or constipation.
# influenza is prevalent in your
community, it is a wise plan for you
to develop such fine state of health
In your body that you cannot develop
this ailment. Start by giving your
self a good bodily house cleaning.
Stop all regular food for four or five
days and take fruit fast, using some
one kind Of acid fruit three times
daily in place of meals You can get
good results by taking your choice of
these fruits: Oranges, grapefruit,
pears, pineapple, without sugar., or
tomatoes. Use only one kind of fruit
on any one day. For instance, II you
use oranges for breakfast, you should
use oranges at noon or at night on
that day. The next day change to
one Of the other fruits If you desire.
At the same time you take the
fruit fast. you should keep your bow

question the wisdom of flying in

cut him short by hanging up the
receiver.
Jerry saw the graceful bird-like
machine out on the runway with
men busily engaged in inspecting
it. Alester brought his car to a
stop a short distance away and as

to one of the men to take her suit

Alester helped her into the second

her coat to one Of the men to place
