Authorities differ as to whether
the "Jlu" peril is really over, but
most of them seem to agree th;rt the
epidemic has really run its course,
and there is little chance of another
outbreak next winter.
"The nation has been pretty well
immunized by the disease," says the
health officer of Cincinnati. "Of
course there will be occasional in
stances of influenza: hereafter, the
same aa we have had every year;
but I do not anticipate a recurrence
of the disease in epidemic form."
Thus, In the midst of economic and
political troubles, there is still some
balm In Gilead. For a long time
the persistence of this virulent epi
demic, and its renewed outbreaks in
communities already swept by it.
made- doctors and lay me 4 alike de
spair of ever getting it stamped out.
But all things run their course and
the dreaded flu seems to be no ex
ception, even though it hung on more
tenaciously than any other other
plague of recent times. With the as
surance that it is really conquered,
the winter can be faced more cheerfully.

AMERICANS 10 HAVE
THE POOR PACKERS
Maybe the packers are as inno
cent of profiteering as they profess
to be. Maybe they are making a
bare living instead of wallowing in
wealth. Maybe they are taking a
mere pittance for the service they
generously render the nation. Maybe
there Is no packers' monopoly and I
their profits are kept down to a j
poverty basis by competition as well
as by voluntary self-sacrifice.
However that may be. Congress
man Ricketts announced the other
day in the house that $1,000 invest
In in the stock of Swift and Company
eix years ago is now worth $20,000,
and in the stock of Cudahy and Com
pany $26,000; that $1,000 Invested
In the stock of Armour and Company
live years ago is worth $32,000; that
a similar amount invested In Morris
ana company three years ago Is
worth $23,000, and in Wilson and
company two years ago, $7,000.
If the packers haven't betn mak
ing a neap of money, why these
enormous increases in the value of
their stock?
With the American Forces in Ger
many, iAug. 30. Composition of the
final permanent guard of American
