Are We Growing Bumptuous? The Cincinnati Enquirer puts the question to its readers, and in reply warns against the sin of becoming boastful because of the flattering compliments our Allies have paid us. The danger of becoming too enthusiastic over war news, too conscious of our strength, too proud over resources and industrial achievements, too confirmed in the belief that we are the "whole show," is present. No one can deny it. Satisfaction over the splendid showing of our fighters and military organization is gradually changing into a boastful spirit of egotism. It behooves us to remember that our brave Allies have endured hardships for four years so that we would be able to deliver the final stroke. Our soldiers overseas have nothing of this flagrant vice in their make-ups. The Stars and Stripes, official paper of the American Expeditionary Forces, whose editors know the American fighter first hand, and have seen with their own eyes what France and England have done in the past, does not indulge in idle boasting or vain self-glorying. It strikes a sane tone in all its dis

cussions of the war theme, and

papers back home to refrain frcm headlines that read, "Americans Smash Big Hun Attack," and "Yankees Strew Battlefield with German Dead." It objects to this kind of headlines and to the spirit back of them, namely, of exaggeration and self-glorification. The Enquirer calls attention to the peril in words that deserve to be remembered and acted upon. Says the editorial: It is this vice of bumptiousness of which America stands in peril. To its ravages we are predisposed by nature. Our growth has been phenominal. our prosperity uninterrupted. We have never had anything to "take us down," ond now, for the first time in our history, we have stepped out upon a world stage to play our part, and with what eclat! From pit to gallery the illimitable theater Is tinging with applause. President Wilson has been acknowledged to be the leading figure in the world. Our achievements in meeting an emergency for which we were unprepared have excited a universal astonishment. Our poldiers have been awarded places of honor upon the field of battle; have won illustrious victories; have been praised and flattered and decorated until it would not be strange It their heads were turned.

Spanish Influenza, Its Origin, Symptoms, Method of Treatment

. An acute infectious disease (epidemic influenza) has prevailed in Europe this year similar in many respects to the disease which prevailed in pandemic form In the winter of 1889-90. It seems probable that In 1918, as in 1889-90, the earliest appearance was in eastern Europe. By April cases were occurring on the western front. In Spain, according to reports, 30 per cent of the population were attacked in May. The 1889 epidemic, starting in northern Europe, also fell heavily on Spain; the present ruler, then 3 years old, being one of the first attacked in Madrid. The King of Spain is said also to have been attacked in the present epidemic. The epidemic of 1918 was at its height in Germany in June and July. It has appeared in practically every section of Europe. In England the epidemic prevailed in May, June, and July. Outbreaks have been reported from various sections of the United States, but the spread has been by no means so rapid as In 1889, when the disease occurred in America almost simultaneously with its appearance in western Europe. In the absence of a clean-cut symptomatology, distinct from that of other diseases, and of any criterion, such as a proved causative organism, demonstrable In the tissues of the patient or bis discharges, it is difficult to make diagnosis in individual cases apart from an intense prevalence of the disW W V W V W V WW V V V v v wr A Stubborn Cough Loosens Right Up I t t Till home-made remedy la a wonder tor quick rmtult.

As for those of us at home we cannot contain our joy nor restrain our pride. A spirit of self-congratulation has seized us in its grip. We have almost forgotten that our allies bad borne the brunt of the war for three long years before we entered; that they had not only stemmed the flood of barbarism which threatened to overwhelm their civilization, but would have engulfed our own as well; that they were tired and we were fresh. It is unbecoming in ns to forget these things and to

assume the role of

becoming in us to boast, and yet we seem to hear the ring of a vainglorious note in the peans of victory resounding through our land. This ought not to be. It was the modesty of our soldiers at their first appearance in England and France which charmed the' tired Inhabitants of those war-worn countries. For them or for us to become vain, aggressive and self-assertive would be fatal to our influence. We have a right to be happy and thankful, but nqt to boast. The fate of the world is in our hands if we are modest. By growing bumptious we may only excite its. enmity and ecorn.

If You Must Buy Buy only useful Christmas presents for everybody except children ; then buy earlier than ever before and tell everybody else to do so. There are 72 .buying days before Christmas. Each one will be busier than the last. There will be no more clerks to serve customers on the seventysecond day than there are now. There will be no more things to buy and no more hours to buy them in, and no more men to deliver them than there are today. The merchants have promised it. And when you buy them, carry them home yourself. Above all buy them earlier. Indiana Council of Defense.

even warns the J ease. It is likewise impossible for us to assert or deny the unity of this epidemic with that of 1889-90. The marked difference in season is notable. In 1889 the first outbreak occurred in St. Petersburg during October; in Berlin and Paris, during November; in Brussels, Copenhagen, London, Vienna, Rome, Madrid, Bos-, ton, New York and Philadelphia, during December, persisting in each place for one or two months. In 1918 the heavy incidence has been in summer, but the duration in any one focus, the general character of the disease, its tendency to spread along routes of travel, and the enormously high case incidence have been similar in the two pandemics. The identity of the present outbreak with outbreaks in other years is even more uncertain. Hippocrates and LIvius refer to an epidemic in 412 B. C, which is regarded by many to have been influ enza. Since ancient times, epidemics somewhat similar to the present outbreak have been recorded in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, 4 in the fourteenth, 5 in the fifteepth, 8 in the seventeenth, 20 in the eighteenth, and 14 in the nineteenth century, including the pandemics of 1831, 1833, 1837, 1847-48, and 1889-90. After the pandemic of 1847-48, there appears to have been a considerable pause before the pandemic of 1889-90 appeared "like a thunder cloud from the east," as Beck puts it. Following this pandemic high incidence of epidemic influenze was reported during the winters of 1891 to 1894, 1907-9, and 1915-16. The symptoms in the present pandemic have been an acute onset, often very sudden, with bodily weakness and pains in the head, eyes, back and elsewhere in the body. Vomiting may be a symptom of onset and dizziness is frequent. Chilly sensations are usual, and the temperature is from 100 degrees to 104 degrees, the pulse remaining comparatively low. Sweating is not infrequent. The appetite Is lost, and prostration is marked. Constipation is the rule. Drowsiness and photophobia are common. The conjunctivae are reddened, and the mucous membrane of the nose, throat, and bronchi often give evidence of inflammation. - The general symptoms, however, predominate over the local. Cervical 'and general lymphadenitis and nystagmus have been reported to be very frequent by certain observers. Characteristically, there is no leucocytosis during the height of the fever, so that a high white count during the first 60 hours is indicative of another disease or of complication. The fever usually lasts from three to five days; but relapses are not uncommon, and complications, particularly pulmonary, are to be feared. The death rate is usually low; but in the latter periods of an outbreak an increased number of deaths, presumably due to complications, has been reported in Spain and in the United States. Besides bronchitis and pneumonia, inflammation of the middle ear and cardiac weakness my follow the disease. Epidemic Influenza may vary in type In different places; thus diarrhea was,

Why You Should Save Paper From a bulletin of the paper conservation committee, American Newspaper Publishers' Association. THE Government wants and must have the materials used in making paper, such as pulpwood, sulphur, bleach and labor. Man power is needed on the western front to win the war; chlorine employed in bleaching the paper it is necessary in the manufacture of poison gas; fuel for our war industries is needed there will be a coal shortage from 50 million to 60 million tons. A saving of 25 per cent in the use of paper will release for war industries 2 million tons; sulphur 13 needed if you waste paper, there will not be enough to supply hoth the government's needs and the paper manufacturers'. Wasting paper burning it up or dumping it into the ash heap is to destroy its value. Waste paper, newspapers, magazines, "oul paper," is converted into packages for shells, packages for sending material and munitions abroad, into paper again for our own use. Every sheet of used paper must be saved that it may be used over again perhaps for letter paper that the boys over there may write to their mothers, sisters, sweethearts. Every sheet of paper that we refrain from using, that we use -economically, that we save; every bit of wrapping paper, box, paper bag, etc., is necessary, vital and essential to help win the war, and to help keep supplied our great paper industries at home.

said to be frequent in Spain. It Is supposed that in some places aberrant types may be found, but in the absence of a definite criterion for diagnosis, it is impossible to affirm this with certainty. In its onset, epidemic influenza may simulate almost any of the acute infectious diseases, but in the civil population it must be differentiated chiefly from an ordinary coryza or bronchitis, from cerebrospinal fever, and from such conditions as the glandular fever of children. In the usual coryza or bronchitis the general symptoms are by no means so severe or so sudden in appearance as in epidemic influenza, and the spread of these infections through a community is not so complete. Even in the absence of an outbreak of epidemic meningitis, the symptoms mentioned as typical of influenza, if combined with a stiff neck or Kernlg's sign, would justify a lumbar puncture. A negative result with the lumbar puncture or the absence of a leucocytosis would indicate that meningitis was not present. Glandular fever is limited to children; other ephemeral fevers have not occurred in widespread fashion. The short course of the fever (always less than seven days) in uncomplicated influenza is thus an aid in diagnosis. The incubation period is probably as a rule very short, though with such universal prevalence this is hard to verify. All ages are attacked, young active adults being especially susceptible. In Germany there has been such a preponderance of cases among the young that it is supposed that the 1889 epidemic conferred an immunity on most of those at present over 30 years of age. This has not been observed elsewhere. All evidence points to human contact as being the means of spread, and from the local symptoms it has been assumed that the nose and throat have been the points of egress of the virus and the points of inoculation. There is nothing to show that other animals have any part in carrying the disease. Discussion as to the etiology of the disease has been chiefly concerned with the question whether the influenza bacillus of Pfeiffer (1892) is the specific causative factor. This organism offers difficulties in recognition. cultivation and identification, and it may be that the failure to find it In the last pandemic and the failure of many bacteriologists of standing to demonstrate it in the present pandemic are due to these difficulties. It is certainly found outside of epidemics, and we cannot regard its absence at present as indicating that the disease is not epidemic influenza. For the present the diagnosis must be clinical rather than bacteriological. Streptococci and other diplococci, some similar to or identical with the micrococcus catarrhalis, have been reported as very frequent in the nose and throat of patients. Pneumococci and bacilli of the Friedlaender group have been found in complicated cases. The mere predominance of a certain organism in the respiratory tract cannot be accepted as proof that it causes the disease. It may be that the actual causative factor is a filterable virus. The treatment is symptomatic. On account of cardiac weakness, rest in bed should be prolonged after defervescence in proportion to the severity of the case. Attention to cleanliness of the mouth, adequate ventilation,

The opening number for the afternoon's program was the singing of America. This was followed by silent prayer and the Lord's prayer. Mrs. Lewis Kirby read the secretary's report and Mrst C. N. Teetor gave an interesting report of the Evansville convention, and also read the bylaws which were adopted at Evansville. The local organization meets once a month and the next meeting will be in the City Council chamber... Russel Northcutt, who has been living in Richmond, is here sick at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charley Northcutt, and is confined to his bed. A son, Charles Perry was born to Mr. and Mrs. Northcutt on Sept. 18. Mrs. Northcutt and baby came over from Richmond Tuesday afternoh, accompanied by their aun.t, Mrs. Ella Lamb Mrs. Laura Gebhart and Mrs. Ada Thurston went to Richmond Monday Mrs. Leslie Mitchell and son Morris, have gone to Florenc, Alabama, where Mr. Mitchell is employed as a bricklayer at Mussels Shoals, on buildings for a Hoover, died at his home.. an jw nitrate plant Anthony Hower received word that his brother, Charles Hower, died at his home at St. Charles, Mo., Monday night, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hower had been at the omhe of his sister, Mrs. Flora Henwood, and left there Thursday returning to their home. The Howers lived at Cambridge City until the two brothers were .grown. Charles is survived by a wife, two sons and one grandchild. He was employed as a car shop foreman.....

Mason and Mrs. Mary Jane Hindman Mr. and Mrs. John Werking are visiting Mrs. Werklng's daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Morrison, at Memphis, Tenn Mr. and Mrs. James Stewart have moved into the Williams residence on East Main street. avoidance of exposure to cold, and isolation from those who may be carriers of virulent pneumococci and streptococci are measures advisable to prevent complications. Aspirin or similar remedies may be used to relieve headache and general pains. Watch should be kept for complications and cases should not be discharged too early. Crowded offices, and particularly street cars, are potent factors in the spread of the disease. In Berlin the street car conductors showed an exceptionally high incidence. The avoidance of street cars and of crowds, where possible, is therefore to be urged during an epidemic, although the disease is too mild to make it advisable to stop all the activities of a city. To prevent the transportation of the influenzal virus to the well and possible causes of complications to the sick, masks for sick-room attendants are advisable. The organism is probably ehort lived outside the body, and attention should be directed toward keeping people, apart rather than toward the disinfection of things, aside from the precautions of general cleanliness. The spread of streptococcus pneumonia in military camps, and the fear that with the advent of cool weather severe pulmonary complications will follow influenzal attacks more frequently than during the past summer, indicate the urgent need for the adoption of more stringent pre cautions to prevent such complications than have been customarily taken hitherto. The most dangerous form of human contact in the presence of epidemic influenza is, in all probability, that with coughers and sneezers. Coughing and sneezing, except behind a handkerchief, is as great a sanitary offense as promiscuous spitting, and should be equally condemned. DOCTOR SAID LUNGS WERE TOO FAR GONE But Miss Green's Recovery Proves That There. Is Hope for Many Consumptives.

PEPGEN FAMED FOR STOMACH All Ingredients Carefully Selected and Scientifically Compounded by Special Process. Pepgen is not a secret remedy. The formula is printed on the back of every package. It contains only remedies of approved and recognized merit. All of the ingredients are carefully selected and scientifically compounded by the Special Pepgen Process in which neither alcohol nor sugar is used. Persons with stomach ills should carefully avoid sugar, also people with weak kidneys. Sugar often produces what is called saccharine ferment. Alcohol is very bad for people who are subject to rheumatism and even the slightest amount of this stimulent sometimes produces an attack. In Pepgen will be found Peppermint Leaves used to stop nausea, relieve spasmodic pains in the stomach and bowels and expell gas. Gentian root which possesses tonic properties in a high degree aids and invigorates digestion. Peruvian Bark, an anti-malarial agent, is of service in debility and wasting diseases, pallor, impoverished blood and feeble recuperative powers. Fringe Tree Bark exerts a special influence upon the liver. It is of benefit where there is yellowness of the skin and eyes and a sense of uneasiness in the right side. Black Cohosh through its influence upon the muscular system is recommended for rheumatism, neuralgia and lumbago. Plaintain Leaves contain properties valuable in kidney and bladder derangements.

Pretty Mrs. May Hull, Who Was Relieved of a Severe Case of Stomach Trouble, Which Undermined Her Entire Constitution, by Pepgen.

According to Mrs. May Hull, who lives at 923 Sixth avenue Des Moines, Iowa, work in her ten-room house Is now like mere play. Few men folks understand what this means. They can't realize the many steps a woman takes and the million other things she does to keep their homes cozy and clean. Only women know the true meaning of "housework" . and the physical strength it takes to make them enjoy it. Perhaps no testimony yet told demonstrates the full value of Pepgen any more than the interesting story Mrs. Hull tells. She says: "Catarrh of the head caused me a great deal of suffering. I generally got out of bed in the mornings with a bad taste in my mouth and dizzy headaches. I had no appetite for breakfast. I was nervous and everything seemed to upset me.

Pepgen's Success in Muncie Amazing, Mrs. Miller Relates How It Helped Her Husband

"Pepgen's success in Muncie has been amazing." Hundreds of people including merchants, manufacturers, professional men, the highest class of mechanics, laborers,, and railroad men, as well as innumerable women have told what it has done for them. "Mrs. Wm. A. Miller, 1115 East Seymour street, says: "'My husband, who works for the Big Four Railway, was frequently troubled with cramps after eating. He had to be very careful what he ate. He took a great many kinds of medicines but nothing seemed to help him much. Finally he tried Pepgen and that went right to the spot. He hasn't been troubled since he took the first few doses. Besides he has a better appetite and nothing he eats hurt3 him.

IS VERY WW

? The high cost of living is a serious problem to most people these days. The hearty eater is compelled to pay big to satisfy his appetite but he is much better off than the nervous dyspeptic, who unwillingly saves money at the expense of his physical strength. A large appetite may be expensive but there is nothing that brings such tremendous dividends. "Nobody knows the absolute correctness of this statement any better than W. M. Cannon, barber, 19 South Sixth street, Richmond, who having been relieved of stomach trouble by Pepgen which he obtained from Tlhistlethwaite's drug store, gives it the stamp of his approval. "I think I had all the miseries tJiat a disordered stomach is capable of causing." says Mr. Cannon. "I dkfci't eat very much and even what little I did eat caused gas to form wh ;h sometimes pressed up against ix;y MUSTARD STOPS PAIN A very penetrating liniment is made from mustard, sassafras, red pepper, menthol and ammonia. It enters the pores without much rubIn severe cases of rheumatism, lumbago and muscular soreness this liniment should be used in conjunction with Pepgen tonic. You can get it already prepared at Thistlethwaite's drug stores or from any first-class druggist anywhere. Room House Play, She Declares At times I had to ask my children to play outside. I could not stand the noise they made. "Since taking Pepgen my improvement has been wonderful. My head is i as clear as a bell. I have a fine appe tite and am not troubled with headaches. We have a ten-room house and I feel so much stronger that my housework is mere play, where before it seemed as if I could never get through. I feel that I cannot praise Pepgen too highly." In scores of cases Pepgen has been the means of relieving women, because it gives strength and tone to the system. Testimonials from women right here in Richmond who have used it say "It has made me feel like a new woman;" "I feel healthy again;" "I enjoy my housework," and other like expressions. Get Pepgen at Thistlethwaites or any other first-class drug store.

" 'I must say that Pepgen has done my husband a world cf good.' " Pepgen is the embodiment of many of the old-fashioned; American herb remedies, such as peppermint, black cohosh and fringe tree bark, as well as some newly discovered such as Peruvian bark,' used by the natives of Peru. All are blended into one matchless tonic, and treated by the Special Pepgen process which does not contain one drop of alcohol or other temporary stimulant. s Pepgen is designed to prevent sickness of the stomach, : kidneys and liver as well as relieve IL It combats little ills today thereby Insuring health tomorrow. It gives uch tremendous strength to the vital organs that disease has little chance to make inroads upon the system. (Advertisement)
