Kpidcmics of intluciuu have vi*4it?**l this country aluee IH17. It Is interesting to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valcncta, Mpain *; Since that time there bavt been nuj&?rova epidemic* of the disease., lu tHSP and 1NJH) an ep|? ? liiui.- of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread lirst to Itussla, uud thence over practically the entire civil ? V ized world. Three years Inter there waa another flare-up of the diaease. Uoth times thv epidemic spread w|(|t>),v over the I'ldted States. Although the present fiddfaulV* i* call ?Ml "Spanish influenza." there I* no rea *QM to beHave thai il originated in Spain. Hopie writers who bave studied the ?|ues tion believe that the epidemic csqi$ from I hP Orient and they call attention to the1 fact that Hie (irnuaiiK mention t lit' <1|h. eaip as occurring along the easteru from i n the summer and fall of 1017. There t? a* yif't no certain way in which a Mingle ca*e of "Spanish Itttiuonxa" can be recognized ; on t h?? other hand, recog nition is oasy where there is a group of eases. In contrast to the outbreaks of or dinary rough!* and colds which usually occur in the <*old months. epidemics of In fluenza may occur at un.v season of the year, thus the present epidemic raged most intensely iu Kurope in May, .June and .July*. Moreover, in the case of or dinary colds, the general symptoms (fev er. pain, depression ) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are in influenza. Finally, ordinary colds do not spread through the ? corhm unity go rnpldly or So extensively as does Influenza In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather suddenly. He feels >venk, has pains iu the eyes, ears, head or back, and may he sore, all over, i Many patients foel dizzy, some vomit, i Most < f the patient* complain of feeling I chilly, and with this ?roines a fever in ? which the temperature rises to J00 to ! 1W. lu most cases the pulse remains ; relatively alow. ! In appearance one is struck by the fact i that the patient looks sick. His eyes and ' the inner side of bin eyelids may be slight ly "bloodshot" or "congested," as tin* doc tors say. There may he running from the nose or there may be some cough. ; These signs of a cold may not be marked ; ! nevertheless the patient looks and feels j very sick. In additiou to the appearand aud the [ symptoms as already describe*!, exnftunn tiou of the patient's blood may aid the physician in recognizing ".Spanish iu-,: lluenza,'' for it has been found that in this disease the number of white corpus- j ? ?les shows little or no increase above the j normal. It is possible that the luboru- ' lory investigations now being made thru the National Research Council ami the I ulted States Hygenie Laboratory will fuinMi a more certain way in which in dividual cases of this discaseNcaM be re cognized. Ordinarily, the fever last- front three | to four days anil the patient recovers, j Itut while the proportion of deaths in the I p reseat epidemic has xeuerally been low, ! in s.iine places the outbreak lias been so- I vere and deaths have been numerous, i When death occurs it i>. usually the re sult of a complication. Hactcriologisfs who have >tudi?Hl in- j Hnen/.a epidemics in the past have found j in many cases a very small rod-shaped ? germ called, after its discoverer, I'feifferV j hacilus. In other cases of apparently the j same kind <?f disease there were found ' pneiunococci, the germs of lobar pnett- I monia. Still other* have been caused by; streptococi. and by other germs with h?ng j names. Nn matter what particular kind .of j germ causes the epidemic, it is now be. j lieved that iutlueuxa is always spread j from person to person, the genus being carried with the air along with the very ^riiall droplets of mucus, expelled by ?siughing or sneezing, forceful talking and the like by ??ne who already has the germs ??f the disease. They may also be car ri'^l iibout in the air in the form of dust ? -oioing from dried mucuri, from ?x>ugh ? fi x ?nd sneexing. ?>r fiY>m eandoss pe*> pie who spit on the floor and on the sirTe- I walk As in tnost other V#fching dis eases. a pet-xon who has only a mild at tack of the disease himself may give a very severe attack to others. It is very important that every per son *ho becomod sick with intlueuia should go home at once and go to bo?J, This will help fcecp away dangerous com plication and will, at the same Lime> keep the patient from scattering the disease that no one I* allowed to sleep In the same room with the patient. In fact, no one but the nurse shonld be allowed in the mom.

It in foolish to ask the druKgi*t to prescribe and (uay b? dangerous to t**k<' the to talled "** fe. sure and harmless" remedies udvcitised by pateut medicine manufacturer*. If the pa t i?'i? t ? is so si touted t liat to* mii be , attended only by some one who mu?t also look after other* iu the family, it J* advisable t lint such atteudnnt wear a wrapper apron or gown over the ordl uary house clothes while in the t.iek ?>om? and slip ibis off when leuving to look after tin* other*. Nurses mid at Jendaut* will do well to guard against breathing in dangerous dis ease germa by wearing a simple fold at gauge or mask while ueur the patient. It 1m well kuowu (hat an attuck of. measles or wcarlet fever or small-pox us ually protects u person against another attack of the same disease. This uppears not to be true of "Hpanisli influenza." Affording t<- newspaper reports tbe King of Hpain suffered an attaek of Inttueuxrt during the epidemic thirty years ago. and was aguin stricken during the recent out break in Spain. In guarding against disease of all Mod* it is important that the body be kept strong and able to fight ofl' disease germs#. This can be done by having a. proper pro portion of work, play, ami rest. b\ Keep ing the body well clot bed, mid by eatlug sufficient, wlijOlesonie. and properly se lected f?iofl. In connection \vltn diet. It is well to remember that milk is oiip of. the liest all-rouml foods obtainable for adults as well as children. Ho far as a disease like influenza is concerned health uutlioritles everywhere recognize the very ??lose relation between its spread and ov ercrowded homes. Whjlo it Is not always possible, especially In times like, the^ pre sent, to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home ov ercrowding to a, minimum. The value of' fresh air through open winaowa can not be over-emphasised. Where crowding is unavoidable, as iu alrueL cur*, ?tarn-should be taken to ke tbe face so turned Ss not to inhale di rectly the air breathed out by another person. It is especially important to be war.* of the person who coughs or sneezes with out covering his mouth and nose. It als> follows that one ahould keep, out of crowds and stuffy placebos much as pos sible, keep boraes, offices, nnd workshops well aired, spend some time' out of dOors each day, walk to work. If at. all practi cable?in short make every, jpossible ef. fort fo breathe as much pure' air ax pos sible. ' "Cover up each cough and sneeze, If you don't you'll spread disease." 'Hw Vlying Squirrel. Of nil the little format folks, nono are more tf'ntle. and drcumy-eyed than this miniature squirrel. His fur is as soft as down, and is mole-like iu its silken texture. His big, block eyes aie melt ingly tender, and gleam with *0 much intelligence 1hat. - one hardly bo sur prised were he kindly to inquire u* to one's health. His length, tail and all, is a want, nine inches, and it would be hard to squeeze more beauty and gen tleness in that space. His eolor is drab above with tinges of russet here and there, and pure white beneath. H? distinguished from all other squirrels by th<k* ox tension of a velvet-like skin along the sides uniting the front and buck legst When the legs are ,?preud this skin forms 11 sort of paraehute. that, enables the little spirit to glide down an inclined plant) from the branches of one tree to the roots of another. He does not real ly fl.v, but only glides to the earth, much as an airplane lands when the nose is l*>infed down and the power shut^ off. When he wishes to nseend a tree he has to fold up his parachute and use his legs just as any other squirrel would. And very nimble legs they are too, and can tarry hint tip to the safety of the branohes while you stnnd and wonder what has beoomo of him. Once up among the leaves there is no u*-e trying to lo cate him iu the dusky shadows. He seldom, if ever makes his appearance until late afternoon, when his noiseless Might, front tree to tree, is hardly no ticeable in the gathering darkness, and when his human neighbors are either at supper or sitting on the i>oivh, well out of his way. Sometimes on dark- cloudy summer days, he gets his hours mixed up. and makes the mistake of coming out several hours ahead of time, but at such times he is unusually timid und nervous. Thorey are very many things we would like to know about the home life and habits of this little flouting shad ow of the summer twilight, but little is known of them, owing to tho fact that they sleep while we are awake, uud wake when wc are supposed to be asleep. We would like to know what they do and how they pass the long summer nights, whether much of their time is given to pattering over the grass, or whether they contine their wander ings to the gnarled branches of the oaks, if by some accident one in forced to appear by daylight he can so camou flage himself by curling up nnd sitting still, that a dose observer would take him for a bit of bu/F and white lichen growing on the bark. When not disturbed, they pass the hours of daylight curled into a furry ball at the bottom of some deserted woodpecker's hole, as far removed from things material, as if he were tncked away in another planet. He has a ao ciable streak running through his make up. and if he can find no woo<tp<**?r>0 hole, bearing a sign "to let", he has no hesitation in eatabli/hing hfrmrrif among the hair trunk* and hoopakift* in a disused garret His natural food seema to be the smaller nub*, such aa acorns, base! and beech nuts, waltuti and hickory nnts being too bard to i**Clevelancl Tractor ?- " . - - - ? - - -J *'.???. i-i.-jji mi i i ? ? ? ? 1 ui i mUmrnm i n in? ... . .

But if nuts are not forthcom ing, wheat, rye oats or corn will do just us well. They sometimes make nests of leaves in the forks of trees, much like the summer homes of larger squir rels, and they have been known to oc cupy old bird nests, after they had re modeled them to suit their fancy. Their nest* are usually just large enough to accomodate a single pair and their off spring, .but they gather in big roomy hollows' in considerable numbers. "In-' Southern Illinois fifty were found in one nest in a tree, and iu Indiana fif teen were discovered in a hollow stump ; and near Philadelphia, thirty were evict ed from a martin box they had usurped," So they evidently do like the- society of their kind if the accommodations 'are ample, and the food supply abundant. They have a number of different notes : a low "chuck-chuck," for ordinary con versation; a keen whistle when excited or alarmed, and a bird-like ehirp, re peated in quick succession, for several minutes at a time which certainly must be their evening love-song. They are so constantly on the move from dusk, and it is supposed, until daybreak that the owls must reap a harvest. About houses, the domestic cat is their deadliest en emy, as the little flurry tails, the only pact u cat does not eat are often in ovidence. The writer knew an old cat that- used to sleep all day, except at meal time, and she had a favorite re treat uuder the steps where she would retire with the mice that had been caught in traps* Having occasion to have the steps repaired, her dining room was opened to public view, and the rea son why she slept all day and allowed the mice, to run over the premises, wun no longer a mystery. Her dinig room was literally carpeted with the tails of flying squirrels? a ghastly record of her night's doings. They are easily tamed and make the most charming and interesting pets, n? thry lose every ves tige. of fear, and accept man's friend ship without reservation.? f\ A. David in tireenvllle News.
