Influenza Expected to Lurk for Month*. How to Guard Against Pneumonia. Common Cold* Highly Catching—lm portance of Buitabie Clothing—Could Save 100,000 Lives. Washington, D. C. —With the subsid ence of tho epidemic of Influenza the attention of health ofllcers Is directed to puugmotlta, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause a largo number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Itupert Blue, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will lie especially prevalent this win ter unless tho people are particularly careful to obey health Instructions. "The present epidemic," xuld Sur geon General Blue, "has taught by bit ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia nnd death. Although the worst of the epidemic Is over, there will continue to be a large number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to bo guarded iigulnst." The Surgeon General likened tho present situation to thut after a great lire, saying, "No fire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the chnrred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis appeared. On tho contrary, he con tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows thnt there is dan ger of the tiro rekindling from smol dering embers." "Then you fear another outbreak of Influenza?" he was asked. "Not neces sarily another large epidemic," said the Surgeon General, "but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the danger they will be •ompelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumo nia and other respiratory diseases. Common Colds Highly Catching. "It Is encouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that or dinary coughs and colds are highly eutehlng ami are spread from person to person by means of droplets of germ laden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed Into the air when careless or Ignorant people cough or sneeze with out covering their mouth and nose. It Is also good to know that people have learned something about tho value of fresh air. In summer, whim people are largely out of doors, tho respira tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo nia, etc.) are Infrequent; In the fall, as people begin lo remain Indoors, the respiratory diseases Increase; In the winter, when people aro prone to stay In badly ventilated, overheated rooms, the resplrulory diseases becomo very prevalent. Suitable Clothing Important. "Still another factor In tho produc tion of colds, pneumonia and other re spiratory diseases Is carelessness or Ig norance of llio people regarding suit able clothing during the seasons when the weuther suddenly changes, sitting In warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what Is even more common, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows are kept closed In order to be comfortably warm. This Is u very In jurious practice. Could Save 100,000 Lives. "I believe wo could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually In tho United States If all tho people would adopt the system of fresh air living followed, for example. In tuber* culosls sanatoria. There Is nothing mysterious about It —no specific medi cine, no vaccine. Tho Important thing Is right living, good food and plenty ol fresh air. Droplet Infection Explained In Pictures.

A few years ego, under similar circumstances, tho health authorities would have Is sued an official dry hut scientifically accurato bulletin teaching the role of droplet Infection In tho spread of re spiratory diseases. The only ones who would have understood tho bulletin would have been those who already knew all about the subjoct.

Wrist KjHon Ascribed as - Secret of Attaining Speed In Art of Husking Com' Corn hooking Is rapidly becoming an art of rare attainment In years punt, observes a writer In the Illinois State Register, many gtiod stories have been told about records achieved by men accomplished In that art. As stated by a husking expert, In years past, farmers coupled size with skill and would not hire a hand to husk corn unless he was a giant physically. Those were the days before the sci ence of the business had been devel oped. Experience taught the lesson that the wrist motion. If properly ac quired, would enable an ordinary husk er to develop speed. When the sci ence of the game was brought out, the smaller men gradually won recog nition as huskers of rnre ability. No standard of production can be laid down to govern the ability of tbo average husker. The foundation of the corn determines greatly the speed of the picker. With corn of medium height, well matured and standing erect, there Is some opportunity «to , estimate a good day's work. These three conditions rarely ever existed at the sume time. I Viewed from the angle of n trade, corn shucking Is rapidly becoming a craft, according to the annonnccinent of a local trade Journal. In past years corn shuckers have worked without any attempt to secure a uni form rate. In most cases the shucker worked by the day and It followed that on nUny and stormy days, the men drew their wages, even though they did not go Into the field. As corn husking grew to be more and more a profession, it Is reported, the huskers began to angle for short er hours and a more uniform scale of wages, either based upon the day wage or the commission on the bushel gathered. The latter system Is rap- Idly gaining n foothold. It-it—it-it—it-it-'trtr-^h—it—it—it—it*6 f Pithy Paragraphs r •P A polite man never meets a 9 i stranger.

We all know an optical Illusion makes the setting sun seem larger and often of an oval shape, says Popular Astronomy, but a recent explanation by W. P. Badgley of some of the causes which bring this about Is ln tereatlng. The atmosphere near the earth's surface, when hot and dusty, acts as a magnifying glass. Ixwiklng upward, wo sec through more rarefied nlf, which does not possess the magni fying power. The ovul appearance Is due to tho fact that the sun Is seen through the edge of an aerial lens, which may be clearly Illustrated by drawing a small circle on a piece of white paper and placlifc a reading glass over It. Under the center of the lens the circle appears round, but if the glass Is moved until the circle Is j near Ita edge Its ahai>e changes to an oval. Cigar Makers Now Propose The Conservation of Boxes.

Under the plan. wJilch is now be ing canvassed by the tobacco and cigar \ manufacturers of the country, no cigar* of certain classes would be packed in wooden boxes of less than 100 each capacity, and the thickness j of all such box material would be re duced as far as practicable. Under! this arrangement there would be few I cigars In containers of SO capacity, and none at all In containers of 25 or. ten capacity. BOY WAR BAVINQ STAMPS SUGAR SHOWED OURJMCKBONE American Willingness to Give Up Luxury Demonstrated Na . tion's War Conscience. STAND WITH THE ALLIES. By Reducing Consumption People of the United Btates Averted a Famine at Home In Spite of Low Buppllea. The fact that the people of the United States were able to reduce by more than one-half million tons their July, August, September and October consumption of sugar proves conclu sively that their war conscience was thoroughly uwaUeued and that the country as a whole stood rendy to fol low the Injunctions of the Government. Our normal consumption of sugar In the four-month period beginning with July lias been 400.000 tons per month, a total of 1,000,000 for the quarter year. In July, when our sugar stringency begun to reach Its height, consumption was reduced to 260,000 tons. In Au gust only 32.1,000 tons went into dls -1 dilution and In September only 279,- i) 00 tons. In October the distribution fell to 2,'i0.000 tons. If the general public had failed to observe the Injunctions of the Food Administration this country would liave been lit Ihe throes of a sugar famine before I lie end of August. Our visible supplies were so low as to bring great anxiety to those funilllar with the sugar situation. They feared that It would be absolutely Impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a mere lux ury In the American diet. Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre dominantly as this reduced consump tion of sugar. !iy it we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency unlll tho new beet nnd Louisiana cane sugar crops Were In sight. Now the nation Is In a position so that If we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go fur nlU'l'l, can maintain Its recent re stricted rations. If, however, those nations are to increase their use of sugar very considerably It must be by our continued sharing with them through limiting our own consump tion. AMERICAN SPIRIT RELIED ON TO WIN In the light of succeeding events It Is Interesting to lecall the confidence with which the United States Food Administrator viewed the gloomy out look In July of 1017, when this coun try had been In the war for less than four months and the Germans were steadily sending the western front nearer and nearer to Priis. "Even though the slluntlon In Eu rope may be gloomy today," he de clared In a public statement, "no American who has knowledge of the results already obtained In every di rection need have one atom of fear that democracy will not defend Itself In these United States." LOYALTY IN LITTLE THINGS LAST PROOF OF PATRIOTISM Americans without murmuring cut their sugar allowance from four pounds a month to three and tjien as long as need be to two pounds for loy alty's sake.

Benton Relate* Interview With Eccentrle Man, in Which He Deplete Hie Melancholy Mood. Thomas H. Benton In his "Thirty Tears' View" gives an Interesting ac count of an Interview he bad with the eccentric John Randolph of Roanoke. The Interview was at Mr. Benton'a room In Crawford's hotel, In Oeorge» town. It was In the gloom of the eve ning, before the lamps were lit. Mr. Randolph, reclining on a soft, silent and thoughtful, repeated, as If to him self, Johnson's lines on "Senility and Imbecility," that show his life under Its most melancholy form: "In life's last scenes what prodigies surprise, Fears of the brave and follies of the wise. > Down Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow, And Swift expires a driveller and • show." • When Mr. Randolph finished repent ing these lines, Mr. Benton said to hlnn "Mr. Randolph, I have often heard you repeat these as If they could . have aa application to yourself, while | no one can have less reason than your-, self to fear the fate of Swift" [To this Randolph replied: "I have lived In dread of Insanity." While Randolph was not insane In the ordinary sense of the word, It Is certain that he had occasional tem porary aberrations of the mind, and It was during such times that his talk was most brilliant, a copious flow for hours of wit and classic allusion, a perfect scattering of the diamonds of the mind. His will was contested os the ground of Insanity, but it was not set aside. MIX DOUGH WITH SEA WATEB Wider Adoption of the Practice I* Rec ommended by French Naval Phar macist, Health Advantages. It has long been a custom In certain parts of France to make up the dough for bread with sea-water Instead of using, as Is customary, fresh water, with the addition of salt required to make bread both healthful nnd appe tizing, says the Literary Digest. M. Abert Saint Sernln, a French naval .pharmacist of the first class, urges the wider adoption of the practice, which has, according to him, several advan tages; the bread keeps moist longer, owing to the affinity for water pos sessed by the magnesium chloride sea water contains; it is very wholesome, since It provides not only the chlorides of sodium and magnesium, but other mineral substances which the body can make use of. The water must be collected at a suitable distance from land and should be taken from a depth of six or seven yards If possible. The yeast must be fresh water and the salt water used for mixing the dough. The French writer adds: "Bread made with sea water, useful for everybody, Is to be recommended especially for growing children, for convalescents, and for oil those who need to repair the wastes due to fever or to hard labor." Half-Way Work. We are, none of us, so good archi tects as to be able to work habitually beneath our strength; and yet there Is not a building that I know of, late ly raised, wherein it is not sufficiently evident that neither architect nor builder has done his best. It Is the especial characteristic of modern work. All old work nearly has been hard work. It may be the hard work of children, of barbarians, of rustics; but It is always their utmost Let us have done with this kind of work at once; cast off every temptation to It; do not let us degrade ourselves volun tarily, and then mutter and mourn over our shortcomings; let us confesa our poverty or our parsimony, but nol belle our human Intellect It is not a question of doing more, but of doing better. Do not let us boss our roofs with wretched, half-worked, blunt edged rosettes; do not let us flank out gates with rigid imitations of medieval statuary. Such things are more In sults to common sense, and only unfit us for feeling the nobility of their pro totypes.—Ruskln. Four-Arc Rainbow. A four-arc rainbow was seen by a I vessel at sea recently, one pair Inter secting the other pair. Two arcs are often seea on land, and three are some times seen; but the Invariable rule Is that these arcs all have a common center lying below the horizon. Ths explanation of the two pairs of arcs was, however, quite simple. The sea at the time was exceptionally calm, and acted as a gigantic mirror. Two of the arcs, which hud a common cen ter below the horizon, were due to the sun itself; the other two arcs, which had a common center above the hori zon, were due to the reflection of the sun In the sea. Rust Dissolver. Aa Italian Inventor has patented a method of cleansing Iron and steel from rust. By his process the metal Is made the cathode In a phosphoric add electrolyte. It Is claimed that this acid, unlike others, dissolve* away the rust without attacking the solid metal, and also tends to prevent subsequent rusting. The electrolyte Is made by adding 10 parts of phos phoric acid to 90 parts of water, or by adding a 10 per cent solution of sodium phosphate to 10 per cent of the sell*.

In some places the roads are paralleled for many miles by hedges, and the land on either side of the tracks is covered by beautiful turf. About the stations, hedges, shrub bery, and flower beds are common. If this planting could be aimed in part, at least, toward attracting birds it would be very effective nad great good would be done.
