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

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.

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.
