DREAD DISEASE TO COME BACK. Influenza Epidemic Sure to Return This Autumn. Washington, Aug. ?It' you hope to keep your health this autumn, get yourself into the pink of physical condition, and take all the possible precautions to avoid infection. For the flu is going to hit us again, and the amount of damage it will do depends largely upon how well we prepare for it. This is the message of Dr. Otto Grier, of Cincinnati, secretary of the American Medical Association. Already the visitation of the most dramatic and destructive plague of mrk^orn times is beginning to grow dim in the memories of many people, and this despite the fait that there are reminders of it everywhere. Nearly everyone has a friend who is not able to work as he did before he sot the flu. Nearly everyone who has traveled during the past year, and inquired for old friends, has heard again and again the depressing words, "he died of the flu.' Nearly everyone has noticed, too, the surprising number of women with short hair. Some of these are ?fflicted with artistic inclinations nut most of them gave up their crowning glory reluctantly enough after having the flu. Indeed, in some sections the > flu is said to have created quite a vogue for bobbed hair. Short hair is the least serious of the after affects of influenza. Doctor Geiger says that it will add 40 per cent, to the mortality rate for the i". next five years. This'means that 40 per cent, more people will die than would have died had there been no N flu. They will die because this strangely weakening disease has sap. ped their resistance to other diseases. These fearful after affects of the flu, even more than the number of m ' ' ; v lives it destroys at once, make it a national calamity which we can ill afford to pass through again. The country is strewn with men who thought tljat they were in their prime, and who got ever the flu onlv -* v. k to nna mat inev were uiu anu au^ui. done; with women who can no longer be wives or mothers since they had r?- the flu, and with children whose growth has been checked. One or two more winters with such epidemics. and the United States will have suffered almost as much loss of human power as some European coun, tries did through the war. In support of his claim that the influenza epidemic will recur. Dr. Geiger cites the record of the nearly allied, disease of lagrippe, which appeared , in epidemic form in 1899. It did not reach its peak until 1091, and two years after that it recurred and destroyed thousands of lives. We have had two other epidemics of grippe or . influenza, one in 1867 and the other in 1895, and both of .these showed - the same recurrent quality. In the fact of this literal certainty that we will have to control influenza again next year, we are totally unprep pared to do so. Medical science ^nows little more about influenza today than it did a year ago when the scourge was spreading like a-prairie fire over all the world. For this reason, the doctors are making elaborate and extensive researches into the cause and effect of the disease in or der to try to be better prepared for the next outbreak. Medical men are hopeful of discovering a specific remedy for the flu as was done in the cases of yellow fever, diptheria, and typhus fever. Among the medical men of this country making studies of the flu are / Dr. William H. Park, famous bacteriologist and head of the bureau of laboratories of the department of health in New York; Dr. John F. Anderson, former director of the Hygiene Laboratory of the federal government, and Dr. E. L. Fisk. director of the Life Extension Institute. <?i ? Saying a Few Words. If you are called upon to say a few words after dinner or at a meeting, don't be backward. Get right up and go at it. The chances are that what you say on such an occasion, without preparation, will be of no importance and probably wouldn't have been of importance if it had been prepared in advance,-but that isn't the point. The point is that the minds of your bearers win De quite as oianK ana amorphorous as your own, and consequently the few who actually listen to you will have no means of judging whether what you say is rational or not. The majority, out of politeness, will assume that you did well, or if they do not wish to commit themselves too irretrievably, they will say you did well "under the circumstances." The whole secret in "savins: a few words" lies in makins: it "few." Tf you go on and on, your audience will not heed or remember a thing you said. They will onlv remember that you talked long enough to bore them. Short speeches never bore.?Life. Read The Herald, $2.00 per year. Modern Caution. I is Father?"So he asked you to marry him?
