Branch of National Council of De fense Haa Many Intereatn Here. THE Woman's Committee of the Na . tional Council of Defense has es tablished city , headquarters at. 553 Courthouse and has planned a pro gramme of active work. Mrs. George W. McMath. city chairman, had called a 1 a r u 3 meeting for next Tuesday, when all the representatives of women's or ganizations were to have been present, but on account of the orders to hold no large meetings 'the gathering has been postponed. The Council of Defense, woman's couauittce. is .different from I other organizations in that it is ex pected to do work, outlined by the Government, but not necessarily to ini tiate new work. Mrs. W. S. Belt, chair man of the co-ordinating committee, and her helpers are doing, devoted work. Last season but little was done, al -though many important groundwork matters were attended to capably. The woman's committee registered a large number of women and card indexed them. At a meeting presided over by Mrs. Carrie Beaumont, former chair man, it was voted to lend this card system to the National League for Woman's Service, so the work proved helpful to that splendid body. The woman's committee took up the weighing and measuring o( babies, and did the work capably and thoroughly with the assistance and thorough co operation of the , Portland Parent Teacher Association and the Parents Educational Bureau. A follow-up of this work will be visiting the homes of the under-sized and under-nourished babies, and the offering of help to any mothers whose little ones are sick. This work is in the hands of Mrs. A. F. Flegel. chairman of the child welfare work for Multnomah County. - 31111c Booths to Be 'Opened. Another follow-up work that . the council . may supervise, with the as sistance of one of the leading women's organizations, . is the establishment of milk booths where children can get a glass of milk, a cookie or cracker, for penny or two. This is outlined to re lieve the situation shown in a recent survey, in which it was found that in one school in Portland there are 297 children getting absolutely no milk. W. F. Woodward, chairman of the State Council of Defense, will give an address, telling how the women may help In Portland. At present there are 193 ' organiza tions represented by delegates on the committee, and as soon as possible these will rally for earnest work as the Government directs. Any woman's organization, club, church society or lodge doing or desiring to do war work may send a representative when the meeting takes place. Knrly Shopping Urged. . Mrs. McMath, at the Government's re quest, will present the matter of early Christmas shopping, and will urge every representative to present it thor oughly in her particular circle. Mean time she asks that all patriotic women heed the early shopping suggestion. . Musical .choruses will be formed with, the musical clubs asked to co operate. Mrs. Belt s committee will continue to keep the Courthouse headquarters l open, as usual from 1 to 4 P. M. daily and any organization desiring informa tion may apply there. Although Uncle Sam's K a n n I n g Kitchen closed October 12, several large donations of fruit were made last week and by Friday more than two tons of grapes had been preserved for the sol diers of t he base hoppita Is. On Tues day the women of the Willamette Chap ter of- the Daughters of the American Revolution had the kitchen In charge, assisted .by the children of the Sunny side School. On Wednesday the Sunny- side children with the help of their teachers had the entire kitchen, and on Thursday 24 children from the Stevens Deaf School finished the work. Student-Nurses Sought by Council of Defense. Campalga for Knflntmentn Opens in Portlnnd Monday. a; OTHER call for volunteers for the Student Nurses' Reserve has been issued by the women's division of the National Council of Defense, of which Mrs. Alice Benson. Beach 'is chairman for Multnomah Count. .The campaign for enlistments opens Monday at Mrs. Beach's hoadquartere in the Meier A rrank auditorium. The call came two months ajro for 25.000 nurses and only 7000 of that number could pass the physical test. The quota for Multnomah County was 100. Three hundred and fifty applied and of that number only 50 could pass the examination. The requirements specify that women applying must be between the ages of 19 and 25. and must have a hih school education. Applicants who pass the tests are as signed to Army hospitals and thus re lease a large number of trained, expe rienced nurses for work in France. The student nurses will work in squads of four or five in a ward under the direc tion of a graduate nurse and thus get the practical training that will fit them for duty overseas. One applicant who anticipated the coming: campaign applied at headquar ters recently. ..was examined and has been notified- to specify the earliest date that, she will be ready to report for duty. She is Miss Helen Treacy, 31 Nortn Bixteentb street. ... Richard-E. Dutstadt. grand presiden of district number 4 of the Inde pendent Order of B'nai B'rith, who paid an official visit to the Portland lodges during the past week, was honored with a luncheon griven in the ?riU of the Hotel Portland 1'uesday. Covers An active campaign for funds has been launched by the Waldensian Aid Society for Italian Relief for the con tinuance of work among refugees and war orphans. Through general and sustaining memberships the society has been able to care for a large number of war orphans. Forty dollars a year ill support a half-orphan and home and tlOU a year will support an orphan In an orphanage and secure education. Mrs. A. A.

Women Asked to Report on Bond Purchases. Record t Be Made aad Forwarded to Secretary McAdoo. pHE Womon'i Liberty Loan commit tee asks the presidents of all women's clubs who have not reported to committee headquarters to send the names of their members who hold bonds of the fourth Liberty loan In their own names, giving names, ad dresses and amounts, to Mrs. Colista M. Dowllng, 213 Northwestern Bank building. The committee desires to compile an accurate record of bonds bouKht by Portland women before October 19, which time a report must be made to fceeretary McAdoo. The Government haa asked the wom en of the country to shoulder one third of the burden of the last loan, and it Is essential that every bond in the district be accounted for. All or ganlzations that have bought bonds that have not been previously liHted with the committee also are asked to report to the committee.

Spanish influenza, the disease that has swept through this country from Europe and has re sulted In the closing of public places In many cities. Including Portland. Seattle. Tacoma and others In the West, is discussed in an article by Rupert Blue. Surgeon-General of the Cnited States Army. General Blue's article, just released through the North western division of the Red Cross, follows. Whit is Spanish Influenza? I It .ome ning new? Dues It come from paln? TMti disease now uix-unnta i country and called "Spanish influ enza" resembles a very contagious kind of "cold," accompanied by fever, pains in the head. eyes. ears, back or other parts of the body, and a leeung of severe sickness. In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recovering: some of the pa tents, however, oevelop pneumonia, or inflammation of tne ear, or meningitis. and many of these compiicatea cases die. Whether this so-called "Spanish" infliiema Is identical witn tne epi demics of Influenza of earlier years is not yet known. Euidemlcs or lniiuenxa nave this country since 1647. It Is Interest ing to know that this nrst epidemic was brought here from Valencia. Spain. Since that time there nave Deen nu merous epidemics of the disease. in 1S89 and 1S90 an epidemic oi iniiuenza. starting somewhere In tne tjriem. spread first to Russia, and thence over practically the entire civuiiea Three years later mere was anoiner flare-up of the disease, uoin times tne epidemic spread widely over the United States. Although the present epidemic is called "Spanish Influenza, tnere is no reason to believe that it originated in Spain. Some writers who h.ive studied the question believe that the epidemic -nm from the Orient and they call at tention to the fact that tne i.ermans mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front In the bummer and Fall of 1917. How can "Spanish Influenza" be recoz- nixed? There Is as yet no certalrt way In vhirh a single case or spanisn iniiu enza" can be recognized: on the other hand, recognition Is easy where there Is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur In the cold months, epidemics of Influenza msy occur at any season of the year, thus the pres ent epidemic raged most Intensely In Europe in May, June and July. More over, In the case of ordinary colds the general symptoms never pain urpi - sion) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are in influenza. Finally ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as does In fluenza. In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud denly. He feels weak, has pains In the eyes. ears, head or oac-K ana muy sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy some vomit. Most of the patients com plain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever la which the temperature rises- to 100 to 104. In most cases the pulse remains relatively slow. In appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the Inner side of his eyelids may be slightly "blood-shot." or "con gested." as the doctors say. There may be some cough. These signs of a cold may not be marked: nevertheless the patient looks and feels very aick. In addition to the appearance and the symptoms as already described, ex amination of the patient s niooo may 1H the nhvstcian In recognizing Span ish Influenza," for It has been found that In this disease the number of white corpuscles shows little or no In crease above the normal. It Is pos sible that the laboratory investigations now being made through the National Research Council and the United States Hygienic Laboratory will furnUh a more certain way In which individual cases of this disease can be recognized. What Is the course of the disease? Do people die of It ? Ordinarily, the fever lasts from three to four days and the patient recovers. But while the proportion of deaths In i . Your Piano Purchase New TIME PRICES VS. CASH PRICES. It is a firmly rooted custom In the piano trade to charge MORE when a piano Is purchased on the monthly plan than when the payment is made caih clown. In addition to this Increase in price an additional charge is maue in the form of interest at the rate of or S'-r. Let us draw an example: Mrs. A. pays that other store $475. Wea 10' for cash; she. therefore, pays $427. 50 for her piano. Mrs. B. comes along and Is made to pay $475 and 6 Interest because she bought on 3H months' time at that other store. Add this Interest of $44.50 to the $47.50 cash discount, and Mrs. H. pays $92.00 more, a pretty dear rate for her accommoda tion (?) when buying on time. The Schwan Piano Co. demands the same nrlce idvinlaiM for the Durchaser plan as are accorded to the all-cash buyer. If ttie buyer cannot pay cash down Schwan Piano the present epidemic haa generally been low, in some places the outbreak has been severe and -deaths have been numerous. When death occurs It is usually the result of a complication. WhRt causes the disease and how Is it spread ? Bacteriologists who have studied in fluenza enidemlca in the oast have found In manv of the cases a very I small rod-shaped germ called, after its discoverer. Pfelffer's bacillus. In other cases of apparently the same kind of disease there were found pneumococcl. the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still others have been caused by strepto cocci, and by other germs with long names. No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it is now believed that Influenza - is always spread from person to person, the germs being carried with the air along with the very small droplets of mucus, expelled by coughing or sneezing, forceful talking, and the like by one who already has the germs of the dis ease. They may also be carried about In the air In the form of dust coming from dried mucus, from coughing and sneezing, or from careless people who spit on the floor and on the sidewalk As in most other catching diseases, a person who has only a mild attack of the disease himself may give a very severe attack to others. What should be done by those who catch the disease? It Is very . important that every per son who becomes sick with influenza should go home at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at the 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 fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed In the room. If there Is cough and sputum or run ning of the eyes and nose, care should be taken that all such discharges are collected on bits of gauze or rag or paper napkins and burned. If the pa tient complains of fever and headache, he should be given water to drink, a cold compress to the forehead, and a light sponge. Only such medicine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor. It Is foolish to ask the drug gist to prescribe and may be dangerous to take the so-called "safe, sure, and harmless" remedies advertised by patent-medicine manufacturers. If the patient is so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must also look after others In the fam ily, it is advisable that auch attendant wear a wrapper, apron, or gown over the ordinary house clothes while In the sick room, and slip this off when leaving to look after the others. Nurses and attendants will do well to guard against breathing In danger ous disease germs by wearing a simple fold of gauze or mask while near the 'a person who has had Influenza be fore catch the disease acala?

W ARH tTKK H II KI D HI MAM MILLIONS IN l AI'ITIL measles or scarlet fever or smallpox usually protects a person against an other attack of the rame disease. This appears not to be true of "Spanish in fluenza." According to newspaper re ports the King of Spain suffered an attack of influenza during the epidemic 30 years ago, and was again stricken during the recent outbreak In Spain. How i-sn one cuard asstnst Inrlufnxa? In guarding against disease of all kinds, it is important that the body be kept strong and able. to fight on dis ease, germs. This can be done by hav ing a proper proportion of work, play and rest, by keeping the body well clothed. and by eating sufficient, wholesome and properly selected food. In connection with diet, it is well to remember that milk is one of the best all-around foods obtainable for adults as well as children. So far as a dis ease like influenza '.s concerned health authorities, everywhere recognize the very close relation between Its spread and vercrowded homes. While it Is not always possible, specially In times like the present, to avoid such over crowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowding to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized. Where crowding Is unavoidable, as In streetcars, care should be taken to keep the face so turned as not to In hale directly the air breathed out bi another person. It Is especially Important to beware of the person who coughs or sneezes without covering his mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuffy placer as much as possible, keep homes, offices and workshops well aired, spend some time out of doors each day, walls to work If at all practicable in short, make every possible efTort to breathe as much pure air as possible.
