TO DODGE THE FLU. Medical men f-ay that there may be. a recurrenco of the influenza, epidemic this winter. It is e.?ntia.liy a winter rliea. because it ia wlvit miht be call'd a "crowd elisor re." It pa.-.-es fr"irn person to person, and is most easily communicated whrn people are gathered tcrcther indoors, as they naturally tend to do when coM weather conies on. Here ia a valuabb t of pr, ent i o rnlok; friven out by the Nw York a-oeiation for Improving the Condition of the Poor, xvlnrh will Ije found just as applicable to the well-to-do and the rich: Avoid Tnv(l:i. Stay away from anyone wdth a -ouh or cold. Drink plenty of fresh vat r. Slcrp with the windows open. Stjy in the open air and ualk to your work. Kat three uniform ine lis a day and a.vui.1 a breakfast of mere coffee. IJathe frequently. Above all keep cheerful. It will be observed that thre are two preneral policies recemmendd in .additln to avoiding contact with possible flu victims, one is f?ood personal hyKieno and the other I5? jrood personal psychology. The whole matter can be boiled down to a. few words: Dodcre frerms, keep clean and don't be afraid.

HOW BELGIUM IS RECOVERING. The welcome presence ainonj us of Cardinal Mercier fcivca additional interest to the latest news concernint: the rehabilitation of Belgium. Mr. Hoover, as a result of his tour of observation, recently said that agriculture waa recovering from tho war far more rapidly than the manufacturing industries. This is easy to understand. The Germans systematically destroyed Iieluian manufactures, looking to the future, and s nt enormous quantities of machinery and other equipment b.vik to their own country The task of restoring these stolen goods, under the terms of the treaty, has scarcely beerf begun. Then, the machinery In hundreds of Belgian factories which could not be carried away va3 wrecked as it stood, in the days immediately preceding the armistice when the Germans kr.ft-.v they would soon have to pet out of TJelglum and were eicrer to do as much damage as possible before they received their walking papers. A depressing delay in the resumption of industrial activity la therefore inevitable, but the situation as repards tho land is mere encouraging. Belgium has long been noted for the intensive cultivation of its farms, made necessary by the congested population. The Belgians are experts at making a great deal prow on a little land. This work has now been resumed with vigor and is showing results. Another striking feature of Belgium's process of recovery is the forest reclamation enterprise. Long before the war the necessity for preserving the magniflcent forests of Belgium was recognized And a systematic campaign was started. It was Interrupted by the war and the Germans wrought havoc in certain sections, cutting down timber for airplanes and other uses. An interesting story is related in connection with the historic forest of Foignes near Brussels. It suffered severely, but the destruction would 'nave been far greater had it not I een for the foresight and ingenuity of the Belgian director of forestry, who n creed to double the normal output of timber, if the Germans would permit him to retain control. Thus promiscuous cutting was avoided, there was r.o an Ia!i-m and the splendid forest of thousands of acres still stands. Belgium is "coming back." but many yrais must pas before she re-pains her former industrial vigor.

DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS. ( le Hanson, recent mayor of Seattle, himself but or.ee reM.ove: from a:i immigrant family, proposes trat the err.mei.t shall undertake the proper i' ..::-i!'Ut cf immigrants on their arrival in this country as a hmp.? to promoting more rapid Ameri-ca'ii-atior of the a! :--:i population. As he points o':t. the tri.''.r rry of many :mmirants is to seek c..Iov.i-i of the;r own r. iti' a'.itics and thus there is .-Ilri? nect-:ily :or- f,l on them to '.earn our tar.guace.

GREY AND THE IRISH QUESTION. A member of the British foreign office who will come to Washington with Viscount Grey, the new r.mb.ssador. say? that the latter will concern himself first of all with the Irish question. Ireland is recognized as "the graest question standing in the way of amicable relations between 'ritain and America." Great Britain wants to settle it as promptly as possible, for the "benefit of "her international relations as well as her domestic peace. To this end. it is announced that "Lord Grey's one intention his first labor in Washington will be to prasp the American .people's views on the Irish question-" This is a wise and fortunate policy. It is almost nt5 much to the interest of the United States as of England to have this perplexing problem disposed of. It has played a larger part in American politics than it ought tc. and in some ways a very mischievous part. If a satisfactory settlement can be mde. with American cooperation, the distressful isle may obtain the freedom it deserve?, and then the American people can settle down wdth calmer minds to the consideration of their own affairs.

The Prince of Wales Is a better man than his father in one respect, at least- Up in the Canadian Northwest the other day he distinguished himself at a cowboy exhibition by riding an "untamed bronco." Remember how royal and imperial dad fell off a horse and got hurt while reviewing some British troops?

The London Post sa3 that England doesn't grant self-determination to Ireland "for the very same

reason that justified Abraham Lincoln in denyin

self-determination to the south." But the ?outh had come into the American union voluntarily, Ireland has been joined to England by force from tho begin ninir.

If that peace treaty is kilW entirely, the United States might as well go ahead and build a Chinese wall along the northern and southern borders and three miles from the eastern and western shore line.

ItKAL KSTATi: YALl'KS. (Beal Estate Exchange.) With the commodities in general coming f'nwn

' rj v ' little in price, real estate seems to be goiiv up faster

man eer. mere is no mystery about it. Land and buildings have not advanced so much during the war and since as food, clothing, furniture, etc. Realty is always slower to move in any direction than are the more easily handled necessaries cf life. Rent restrictions, too, have had something to do with retarding the natural price rise of realty. The present tendency in real estate is characterized by many people as a "boom." If by this wcrd it is meant that the movement is temporary, and destined to suffer a reaction, it is probably a mistaken view, it is more likely that real estate is merely finding its proper price level, in harmony with the new, permanent system of higher prices that economists have foretold. According to this explanation, most of the necessaries of life will come down somewhat, though not a great deal, and real estate will continue rising until the two kinds of property meet again on a common level, both having made and kept about the same percentage of gain over pre-war values. In land values, better than in any form of wealth, perhaps, can be traced the natural increase in price due to the increase of the gold supply and the token money and credit based on it. Increase of population, to be sure, has much to do with it. But with that allowed for, it is easy to tntce, in general land values, taking city and country together, the appreciation of land keeping pace with the depreciation of currency. The man who owns real estate, particularly if his holdings consist of various parcels of different kinds and locations, is more nearly independent of moneyfluctuations than any other kind of capitalist. His property does not lose in value as money loses its purchasing power. If the dollar becomes worth only 5 0 cents, his property becomes worth twice as many dollars. And always, on top of this stabilized value, there is the increase that comes from the building up of the community and the greater demand for land und buildings.

SCHOOLS TEACHING SALESMANSHIP. (The Educator.) An interesting innovation in a good many American public ichools is the establishment of classes ;o teach salesmanship. While business goes on, good salespeople will be essential. The individual who has studied the prin-cipb.-of selling under experienced teachers and has ha 1 his laboratory" work in pood shops will nvor have to Intk very Iour for a. paying position. There are far more reasons for than against introducing this branch of business into the schools. It opens up a new field to the prospective worker, and a new teaching field. There are at present not nearly enough persons qualified to teach salesmanship t fill the demand. Little by little the public school is beijig brought to fill the place it should fill, that of fitting the children for the life which normally will be theirs when thy grow up. This latest innovation falls right in line. Xor vices it at all neglect the academic side of f duration. r.e of its f undamental principles is that a good education, a wide stock of information and a vocahularly are all necessary assets to the good salesman.

More Truth Than Poetry BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

A CONFESSION. "The tactical, strategical work of my life lacks the stamp of crowning success." Von Tirpitz. Venn clouds get black as clouds can be Undt denn get black some more, I tells der Kaiser: "Trust in me Undt I vill vin der war. Dem cbenerals dey don't know beans Der Allies got dem beat; Chust vatch me sendt mein submarines Undt sink der Yankee fleet.

"I schtarve oudt Englundt; schtarve out France Der soonest t'ing I do, Undt give oldt Hindenberg a chance To vin a fight or two.

Andt if dey send dem Yankee ships I sink dem efery vun, Before dey make a dozen trips Or shoot a single gun."

But ach I my plans don't bear no fruit, My schemes dey all go wrong, For chust as ve get going goodt He makes von splash vun gurgling soundt, He makecs von splash vun gurgling soundt, Undt all der submarines Dot's vaiting anyvere aroundt, Gets smashed to smithereens. Undt al vays der destroyers turn Mein Schrecklichheit on me, Der vile der transports calmly spurn Mein tigers von der sea. I plan by day undt auch by night But now I must confess Dot mein pet scheme von Schrecklichheit Ain't got me no success. (Copyright. 1919).

The Mishawaka young man. whose father told him where he could buy groceru s cheap and then ran off with his new wife while he was at the store, has a sure enough kick against the high cost of living. If groceries had been cheap iverywhere, he likely would have gone to a grocery nearer home, where he could have kept an eye on his loving helpn.ute.

in sight. If it had been a cut of Lydia E. Pinkhain or W. L. Douglas he had picked up instead, while

thus engrossed, the headline and!

reading matter would hae most certainly been the same.

A correspondent, who calls himself A. Reader, calls our attention to a cut in Tmt News-Times, over which is the following head: "Where Bolsheviks Are Being Fought," and underneath this paragraph: "The view is taken looking southeast up the Gulf of Finland toward Neva bay. In the center of the view lies Kotlina island, some eight miles in length, etc. etc." The cut itself looks very much like a picture of Ole Hanson of Seattle, and his family of 4 2 heavy eaters.

Another correspondent has evidently been having a conversation with Charles L. Zigler of the First National lank. He reports it as follows: "Good morning, Mr. Zigler." ''Good morning. What can I do for you this tine daj-. old top'."' "I have a $100.000 worth of Liberty Londs as collateral and would like to borrow a little money." "All right, I can let you have a $100 on that without any trouble."

LOCAL BRIEFS. Izzy A. Nutt, tho well known pool and billiard hound, was taken violently insane yesterady afternoon on Michigan st. and was later placed

iin a padded cell at the county jail. I It is said Nutt had been bent on

making some money off the world series and attempted to follow Hugh Fullerston's dope in placing his money.

Our friend. A. Reader, says. "Will you kindly explain this?" Well. I should say so. A. The explanation is that we do not make up the paper.

It would be sort of an old thing if Frank Allen would enter a loaf of Betsy Ross in Bute's bread contest.

A brief session of the Colfax Avenus Glee club was held yesterday afternoon at the club rooms of the organization near Terre Coupee. The session was a short one and the baritone, Mr. E. Reeder, had to get back into town and -write pages 2, Z, 4, 5. 6, T and S of the next edition of the New Idea.

The Horoscope

SUNDAY AND MONDAY, SKIT. 21-22. Sunday's horoscope is not a favorable one for corporeal interests Journeys, changes and removals are under unfortunate aspect, and unusu?l discretion is called for in all transactions. Those whose birthday it is should avoid travel and change, and also be discret in all matters. A child born on this day may be erratic, eccentric and have peculiar qualities. Monday's astrological chart is full of confiding aspects, with both Lenefic and malefic planets in powerful operation. The health may be a matter of grave concern, and this should be wisely protected. Business also may cause anxiety, although some projects. especially those involving combinations, trusts or secret associations, are under propitious influences. Jupiter is favorably placed, as is Venus in conjunction with Luna and this should bring happiness and prosperity to the home as well as in social and affectional interests. Those whose birthday it is may have some business perplexities, but their domestic affairs will be pleasant and flourishing. Their health should be guarded. A child born cn this day will be intelligent, affectional and successful.
