of these complicated cases die, Wbot^he**
this so-called "MpuniHb" influenza in i<|eu<
tun) with the epidemics of inflncn/.ii of
fjtrller ye*ra in apt yet known.
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.
If there is cough and sputum or run

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.

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

manage. 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
