This will help keep away dangerous complications and will,' at tile same time, keep the patient from scattering the disease far and wide. It is highly desirable that no one be allowed to sleep in the same room with the pa- tient. In feet, no one but the nurse should be allowed in the room.

In and colds, which usually occur in tin' ' connection with diet, it is well to re - colt) months, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year. Thus the present epidemic ragout most intensely in Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, In the case of ordi- nary colds, the general- symptoms (fever, pain, depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are In influenza. Final- ly, ordinary, colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as does influenza. \In most cases a person taken Slick with influenza feels sick rather sud- denly. lie feels weak, has peels in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa- tients complain of feeling chilly, and with this conies a fever in whit -ti the temperature rises to WO to 101.

So far as a dis- ease like influenza Is concerned, health authorities everywhere recognize the very close relation between Its spread and overcrowded homes. While It Is not always possible, especially In times like the present, to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowd- ing to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized. \When crowding Is unavoidable, as in street cars, care should be taken to keep the fare BO turned as not to In- hale directly the air breathed out by another person. \It is especially important to be- ware of the person who coughs or sneezes without covering Ills mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuffy places as much as possible, keep homes, offices and workshops well aired, spend some time out of doors each day, walk to work if at all prac- tIcable—in short, make every possible effort to breathe as Much pure air as possible. . \In all health matters follow the nil - vice of your doctor and obey the resit lations of your local and state health officers.\ \Cover up each cough and sneeze, If YOU don't you'll spread disease.\ Gait Bros.

Bo necessary have these proved that tents and bor- rowed rooms were pressed into use until houses could be built. Often t h e Association rooms In the ness- e/re.

Site cannot speak a word of English and she has to have her old black pipe every hour. But her boy loves her. \Another charge bestowed upon us Is the girl -wife of a 'bootlegger' ar- rested for selliug whisky to soldiers. He was wild with anxiety about her till we said we would look after her. \A thirteen -year -old imp has just been turned over to our care. She ran away from a convent, and, be- ing adventurous, made straight for camp.\ Any hostess can tell you heart- breaking stories of times when the hostess house has been the refuge of stricken women. She can tell you also of incidents when the hostess house has brought about a happy end. Mg.

No house is erected except at the direct request of the commanding officer Flfty-four houses are now in use, others are being built as fast as lum- ber and carpenters can be secured. Each house has its individuality.
