JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations FIGHTING THE EPIDEMIC. We raav have the influenza epidemic with us for months. Some think it will be prevalent for two or three years. Physicians differ in their opinions. Nobody knows. One thing is certain that the closing up of busi ness houses cannot be made a permanent state. We must go on about our business of making a living and fight the epidemic at the same time. That point ought to be clear to everybody. ' The methods suggested are many and varied ; most of them are entitled to consideration because, effacacious or not, they are honest and advocated in good faith. Then it must follow that if we have organized effort to curb the epidemic, if we cannot stamp it out altogether, there must be recognized leadership and co-operation on the part of the people of the community. No method wiU succeed without it. The city health off icials must evolve the plan and as sume leadership. They must do their duty; the people must do their duty by obeying implicitly the regulations laid down. There must be individual responsibility. The city health officials are now considering a pkn f ork re-opemng the. town, with certain requirements and regulations.' 1 hey will ask people to wear masks on cer tain occasions, perhaps; they are certain to attempt to make the quarantine of patients more rigid. It will be seen that these things cannot be done without the willing co-operation of the people of the community, and when ine gravity 01 me situation is realized mis co-operation should not be lacking. Lives are at stake as well as the business life of the city.. If the individual sets up his own opinion in opposition to the properly constituted authorities, or refuses to inconvenience himself all ef forts will be futile. , Physicians must do their duty in reporting cases and being responsible for keeping them isolated until all dan ger of contagion is past. They must not be lenient in or der that they may please their patients or because of the demands imposed by friendship among the families where they practice regularly. Their responsibility in the en forcment of the quarantine is very great. Even at best the quarantine is difficult to enforce. There are "walk ing cases" in this epidemic as well as in any other people who think they have only a slight touch of grippe, when in reality they have the influenza. Here again the indiv idual responsibility for the health and lives of friends and neighbors comes in to the greatest degree. In this emergency we are the guardians of the health of the com munity. Because some other man or woman- is lax in this respect should not salve our conscience if we en danger others by our indescretions. Then the health department should take the public into, its confidence. It should issue daily bulletins giving the exact'facts in regard to the epidemic. There are exaggerated: rumors being spread around, making a bad situation worse. Papers in the state are publishing purported news items in which it is stated that Salem cannot bury its dead, and that the morgue is crowdid with bodies unbiiried. People in the city itself give cre dence to exaggerated reports of the situation. These rumors do much harm' by undermining public morale. They put people in a bad frame of mind for meeting the situation. Give us the facts and let us face them square ly and fairly.'. This is- not an editorial; it is only a heart to heart talk with people. We are satisfied the epidemic is no worse here than in the average town on the coast of sin liar size, but at that it is bad enough. stamp it out, if humanely possible, by working together to that end; by becoming a committee of the whole with the health officials at its head and assisting in the en forcement of the necessary regulations. It can be done no other way, as practically every city in the country realizes, or is fast coming to realize. The question is have the people of Salem suffered enough to bring them together in this campaign, and keep them together until the fight is won? 3B8BS8SB8B8B8e9383S88BSBS8 THEWIFE By Jane Phelps. BRIAN RETURNS WOUNDED AMERICAN PEACE CONGRESSES. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason THE ALL-LOWEST. Not all the peace-making is at Versailles. There is to be, in the month of February, a series of peace confer ences starting in New York City and held successively in Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, (Oregon), San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Kansas City and AtlaHta. They will be under the auspices of the League to En force Peace. The presiding 'lofficer will. ilie Am'erica'st most distinguished private citizen, Wm. H, fait, vvitri him there will be, as speakers and co-workers, James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, 5 Henry Van Dyke, former ambassador to the Netherlands, President Lowell, president of Harvard University,' Frank P. Walsh, former chairman of the national war labor board, Mrs. Philip North Moore, president of the National Council of Women, and Rabbi Wise, of the Free Synagog, New York Citv. In every session they wiM. have-assist ance of local representatives. ' ' The purpose is to organize public opinion all over the country in behalf of a "practical, businesslike league of nations." It is an admirable work, which might well have been started earlier, but which will accomplish much good. Nothing could have a more salutary "effect on the big peace congress at Versailles than visible and audible proof that this nation, along with the masses of the peo ple of all nations, demands a new world-system for the insurance of international peace, and will be satisfied with nothing less. " . He Ipoks around upon the Dutch, who pass him on the misty hill; they seem to say, "You'd please us much, if you would chase yourself, 0 Bill !" The rain is dripping from the eaves, the Holland skies are never blue; and Wil helm sits around and grieves, and hates himself, the long hours through. The most renowned of also-rans, accus tomed to flamboyant ways, he mutters, "For the love cf Hans! Must I endure this all my days?" There is a voice in every breeze, there is a voice in every rill: these voices eigh the same old wheeze, "You are not wanted here, 0 Bill!" There is no cordial hand for him, in any corner of the globe, save where Dame Justice, stern and grim, is waiting in her snowy robe. Some nations cry, "0 Bill, come here ! We'll entertain you well, we ween !" But he confesses to a fear that they've a rope and guillotine. And once he was the biggest thing that ever wore a padded crown, the blamdest and all-highest king, who jarred an empire with his frown ! He moved around his realm, in state, and when he neared an honored town, the burgv jmaster, at he ga e, gave him he keys, while kneeling rWn. And now lh Holland davs are drear, the Holland folks show signs of hate, repeating, "You're not wanted here why 'don't you pull your royal freight! ' . It is reported from Washington that Senator Mc Nary will back the boom of Senator Watson for president. Well, as there seems to be no man of recognized presiden tial size available as a candidate in either party, Watson is probably just as good as any of the other "dark" horses now being mentioned. Edsel Ford, who draws a salary of $150,000 a year managing his father's factory, refused to fight for the country whose freedom, and prosperity makes such sal aries possible. No wonder Henry thinks the world and humanity need reforming when he looks at his son. , The members of the legislature and their employes do not purpose to risk nervous or physicaL breakdown from overwork, anyway. Yesterday evening they 'ad journed until Monday in order to recover from the effects of four days work. The charges against LaFollette have been dismissed and he will retain his seat in the senate and continue to look after the interests of the Berlin government in ill pending legislation. Anyway it would seem nowadays that almost anybody is good enough to sit m the United States senate. CHAPTER CXXXIX. During those dtiys of waiting, days that at times seemed endless because of her desire to see Brian, and then seemed all too short for the prepara tions bIic wanted to make for huu, Butn was so restless, so absorbed in the one great fact that her hushsnd was coming home, that eveu Mr. 'Mandel could see she was unfitted for work, and told her to remain nt home until after Brian came. - "But can you spare met" Ruth ask ed. "I will; and you are not to worry about the business. Things are very We can curb and ?let. TC:lFLnLZ then held out his hand with a Binilc and said: "I rejoice in your happiness. I know of no one more deserving of it. "Thank you," Ruth replied simply, but the look, she gave him showed her appreciation, more than her. words. Mrs. Clayborne was delighted that Ruth was to remain at home until Bri an came. 'She had i been fearful her niece would become ill, so excited and nervous was she. They spent much time out of doors, driving or walking in the park. Gradually Ruth became less ex cited, more quietly happy. The weath er was unusually warm and tho change from her inside work at the shop was beneficial in every way. Naturally both she and her aunt had seen the notice of bolatcd casutilty lists in the papers, yet Ruth had no thought that Brian might be wounded again, He had written just a few days before the armistice was signed, and had said he was in splendid shape. His ship was in. Ruth and her aunt had gone down- to meet it, and altho they were not allowed to go very near, they, joined in the cheering, while try ing to' disentangle Brian's form from the" thousands swarming on the decks and loaning over tho rail. Then came the news that he was wounded and had been taken to a base hospital. Ruth and her aunt immedi ately set about getting permission . to have him taken home where they could nurse him. Qn the very last day but one,, of the, fighting, he had been again hit by a piece of shrapnel, this time injuring Ins leg so badly it would bo some time before he would be able to uso it, still longer before he could discard crutches. There was much red tape, as is a- wnys the ease; but finally Brian was homo. Ruth and hor' aunt listened while' the soldier told them stories of tho war. Almost spell bound were thoy when he occasionally, in a modest way, mentioned his owu part in it. Ruth had asked permission to remain away from tho shop until Brian was cble to get about, and Mandel had quietly and kind ly told her to stay at homo as long as necessary, but not to desert him alto gether. Ruth luughed t the idea. Her work was part of her lifo. A very big part. ' Kenyon and Claire Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Curtiss, and other friends of Brian were constant visitors, and interested listeners to stories of the war told so graphically by the young lawyer. It wts quite different from reading the new-' papers, this getting all the facts first hand. Mr. Mandel called one evening. He congratulated Brian n his advanco ment,w sail is most courteous, kindly self. Yet Ruth breathed more f rooly after he left. Brian had mot Mb ad vances stiffly. It had been the first time ho had shown any of the old re sentment, and it made Ruth unnnppy for a moment. In those days of his convalescence Brian and Ruth grew nearer together MOTHER'S; STRENGTH Mother, whose hands rock the cradle, often needs more than ordinary food to help maintain the blood-quality and strength and to assure adequate nourishment to the child. It is as unwise for the mother, as it is dangerous to the child, to place dependence upon alcoholic stimu lation, for strength is not found in alcohol. . 3f p '.'rest cod liver oil, absolutely free from alcohol is mother's true friead, in that it performs a two-fold j6 dutV. bcott a is toiw-nnurtshmpnt. nartir tilarlv fitted for the trying period of motherhood.
