Ste Will Never forget
By Arthur Brisbane
Only $5,000 to the Lord.
Our Descendants.
Lincoln's Short Letter.
"Only a Cold."
Mrs. E. S. Dodge dies leaving one
million. Nineteen thousand dollars
go to friends, $5,000 to a Presbyte
rian church, the balance to relatives.
Five thousand dollars out of $1,000,
000 given to the Lord seems small.
In old days, when heaven and hell
were taken more literally, it would
have been thought wise to give $900,
000 of the $1,000,000 to religion and
make sure of salvation.
But in this agnostic day many
feel that the Lord does not need
money, especially as He could create
any amount of it by an easy mira
cle, whereas relatives and educa
tional institutions DO need money,
and can't perform miracles.
That a son Is born to Princess Mi
chael Cantacuzene In Chicago
means little to the average, but a
great deal to a few old men of the
Grand Army, who know that Prin
cess Cantacuzene is General Grant's
granddaughter.
The only Immortality of which we
are certain, apart from the certain
ty of religious faith, Is the immor
tality of our descendants. Each may
live for thousands of years in his
descendants. You that read this are
descended from men that were alive
on earth 500,000 years ago.
What our descendants will be we
cannot guess.
General Grant, "before opportun
ity came and people wondered why
ho didn't keep "sober," little thought
that he would be the great-grandfather
of a son of a Russian prince.
Descendants of Astors, Vander
bllts and Rockefellers will beg their
bread a thousand years hence If
begging still prevails.
Descendants of Jhenghls, Timur
and Attila are among Mongolian la
borers now scattered through Asia.
The Triennial Protestant Episco
pal convention In Washington Is
urgently requested to recognize
faith cures. In such cures the pa
tient helps himself by believing that
someone else will help him. Faith
can do many things. A man was
bound to a chair, his feet put In
hot water and told that his feet
would be cut by a razor.
The back of a razor was drawn
across the soles of his feet. Not a
drop of blood was shed, but he died.
What can kill can cure.
Some doctors wisely believe that
faith healing should be used to help
nervous patients.
On June 12, 1848, Abraham Lin.
coin wrote to William H. Herndon a
short letter, telling what he thought
about Zachary Taylor's prospect of
election.
The letter was sold yesterday for
.$3,000. ' 'TRIB
Lincoln, thirty-seven years old,
when he wrote that letter, would
have been amazed had he known
what would happen to It.
At that time he would have been
glad to get the Job In the Interior
Department for which he applied
unsuccessfully. Fortunately he did
n't get It, for It might have taken
him out of politics.
Johns Hopkins, in 125 families,
rich and poor, will Investigate ori
gins, causes and frequency of colds.
What Is foolishly described as
"only a cold," Is the most harmful
of diseases, causing a loss of hun
dreds of millions a year in wages.
And what is worse, it weakens the
system, exposing it to attack from
diseases that destroy life pneu
monia, diphtheria, heart disease and
a dozen others.
INFLUENZA.
(From Oregon State Board of Health.)
Report has it that influenza is
again making its appearance in the
southern and eastern part of this
country and is spreading In thai di
rection. While common colds un
doubtedly are due to germs, never
theless, influenza as an epidemic
disease must be considered as a
separate infection. It Is a more
serious illness than the common
cold.
Influenza is an acute Infectious
disease accompanied by more or
less fever. It spreads with extra
ordinary rapidity from town to
town and usually attacks a larger
part of the population.
It is not apparent at this time
that Oregon will suffer with a very
extensive epidemic. The public
should, however, take care of them
selves on the first appearance of a
cold. Go to bed until you are cured.
The greatest danger Is the liability
of contracting pneumonia following
an attack of influenza or a bad cold.
It is a good rule to conserve your
energy. You are using more ener
gy now than you do in warm weath
er. The increased heat production
demands more work of the kidneys,
heart and lungs. This is why you
tire more easily at this season of
the year.
Protect yourself against Infiuneza
and pneumonia by taking the fol
lowing precautions:
Take plenty of rest and increase
the hours of sleep.
Regulate your diet; eat more veg
etables, salads, whole wheat bread:
drink more milk and water; eat leas
meat
Keep feet dry and wear warm
clothes. "
Keep fingers out of mouth and
wash hands before eating.
Avoid getting chilled.
During an epidemic every one
should avoid crowded Ill-ventilated
places.
All cases of influenza should stay
at home and remain in isolation.
All discharges should be disinfected
and all articles contaminated with
discharges should be boiled or de
stroyed by burning. The hands
should be frequently washed espec
ially after they have come in con
tact with the nose and mouth.
Avoid crowds. If simple methods
of prevention were practiced by ev
eryone, the wide-spread epidemics
of this disease would not occur. The
number of persons In a community
who know how to protect them
selves and others from infection is
lamentably small. The most effect
ive way to promote the doctrine of
disease prevention is through gen
eral education of the public.
