CARNAGE IS NOT INNATE.
Those Prussian minded philosoph
ers, who taught that war is tho com
mon, natural, desired human state,
would have been Interested to ana
lyze tho spontaneous outbursts over
this nation, and the world, when the
armistice was declared.
Shipbuilders, to whom peace prob
ably meant a much lower wage, '
dropped their tools and paraded With t
shouts and tumult j
Of course the mothers of the land
rejoiced, bat so did those who an hour ,
before had cheerfully -faced the pros-
pect of a year in the -front trenches. ,
From the cripple on his stumps, '
who pushed himself along the mad
streets with four half-gallon cans ,
jangling behind him, to the banker's j
stately limcusine with its blaring I
horns and waving flags there was
given tie proof of the true spirit of
man.
That solvit is one of good will to
all men. '
It is tho spirit' that breaks out at
Christmas time. , .
That stands uncovered beside the
open grave.
That respects womanhood, and
loves little children, and sacrifices
that age may toast its shins by the
cheerful blaze of; filial warmth.
Prussian philosophers have yet to
walk back upon the path they have
trod, and start down the other road
that emanates a true interpretation
of the divine spirit inherent in all
of us.
POTATOES AND THE MOON.
Once more we note that a scientific
cuss has tried to break to pieces the
old tradition that potatoes must be
planted In the dark of the moon.
He planted his in the bright of the
moon, and gatherer a wonderful crop.
He naively adds that he fertilized
'lnavllv. nnrt nnltfvntpri icllh HIltepnrA !
Probably as many potatoes will be
.anted in the dark of the moon next
irlng as In other bygone springs.
The farmer's potatoes are a side
.ssue, -a by-product, and there is
.neither fertilizer nor tillage to spare
lor them So, if the phase of the
moon will Improve the crop prospects,
be sure the farmer will utilize this
cheap aid.
And 3pthat we don t know but that
the mocu may have something to do
with potatoes.
We know a well that is getting low
goes dry hi tho full of the moon, and
Eupplies its due flow two weeks later.
The nfoon'not only affects the tides,
but apparently the flow ofyall earth
waters, and the amount and avail
ability of moisture might have con
siderable to do with the success of
a potato crop.
Probably the sapient scientist also
watered Ids potatoes with the hose.
Old woman's tales and the traditions
of the countryside more often prove
to have legs of truth under them, than
mere pin feathers on wings of fancy.
Local high school boys should lend
their services to help insure the suc
cess of a home talent show. Don't
forget, boys, that the public never
fails to respond when you seek moral
nnd financial support of your school
activities. You can well afford to be
equally responsive with your time and
your talents.
Now that war poetry is en passe,
there is nothing left to poemlze hut
the "flu." The subject is not exactly
an inspiring ono, hut just think of the
words that rhyrao with "flu." Why,
it's just as oasy!
We believed a short time ago that
tho world war was the' limit in human
catastrophe. Ah we view tho ravages
. of tho influenza epidemic, tho annals
of peace aro playing strange tricks on
our convfitlons.,
Teddy floosevoH will talk himself
Into unpopularity pretty quick at IUb
yirosent rate. Ho has been strong on
tho "captious critic" stuff, but lamont
ably w-'ak on sound suggestion.

ADVICE TO FLU CONVALESCENTS
Washington, D, O. (Special. ac
cording to a report mado to the United
States Public Health Service, the epi
demic of influenza In Spain hns al-1
ready caused an Increase In the preva
lence and deaths from pulmonary tu-1
berculosls. A Hlmllar association lfo-
ttyoQii Influenza and tuberculosis was

Jiolme, the chief medical officer of tho j
English public health service, In his
unulysls of tho tuberculosis death rate

warning emphasizing tno need of spe
cial precautions nt the present time.
"Experience seems to Indicate," says
the Surgeon General, "that .persons
whose reslstnnco has been weakened
by nn attack of Influenza are peculiar
ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions of Its peoplo recently affected
with influenza tills country now. of
fers conditions favoring tho spread of
i tuberculosis.'-'
' One Million Consumptives In the
United States.
"Then you consider this a serious
menace?" was asked. "In my opinion
It Is, though I hasten to add It Is dis
tinctly one against which the people
can guard. So far as ode can estimate
tli ere are nt present about one million
cases of tuberculosis In the United
; States. There Is unfortunately no
t complete census available to show ex-
aetly the number of tuberculosis per
' sons In each stnte despite the fact that
I most of the states have made the dls
1 ease reportable. In New York city,
w'jere reporting hns been In force for
many years, over 35,000 cases of tu
berculosls ore registered with the De
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe thnt the ad
dition of unrecognized and unreported
allies would make the number nearer
60,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
'years In Framlngham, Mass., revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis In a popula
tion of approximately 10,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would Indicate
that about one In every hundred per
sons Is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes n source of danger to bo
guarded against."
What to Do
In his statement to the public Sur-
, ,.,. ,, .!.. , JTJ .
goon General Bluo points out how
those who have hnd influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo
sis. "All who have recovered from In
fluenza," says the Surgeon General,
"should have their lungs carefully ex
amined by a competent physician. In
fact. It is desirable to have several ex
aminations made a month apart. Such
examinations cannot be madti through
the clothing nor enn they be carried
out ! two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be 'free from tuber
culosis every effort should be made to

The Surgeon Genera! warned espe
cially against certain dancer signs,
such as "decline" and "colds which
hang ou."
These, he explained, were often thp
beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do

seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember thnt those
are often the early signs of tuberculo
