WHERE ARE YOU, DEAR READER? With regard to municipal affairs, the people of a town can be classified about as follows:— (1) The roan who critizes, the coun- cil from first to last, but refuses to help make things better by taking a seat at the council (2) The '!an, who gives the coun- cil a reasonable support throughout the year, althougt be declines to be a'candidate. (3) The man who has the muni- cipal "bee in his bonnet" and is a perennial candidate. • (4) The ratan who would like to be a candidate butwantsto be coaxed. (5) The man who is willing to take a seat at the council if the elec- tors' really want Inns and think he can give them good service. (6) The pian who doesn't pay any attention to municipal affairs except, perhaps, When he pays his taxes or lvints a new sidewalk our leis street. -(7) The pian who looks' up toa town councillor as a sort, of diety, takes off his hat to a member of the cotntoli whenever he meets him, and considers it sacrilege for any person to ciHclz th r e ed'otnso of tai council.

At a recent meeting of the American Public health - Association_ in Chicago there.was considerable discussion about the cause and remedy of th'e Spanish influenza. A committee was appointed before .the convention closed to pro- cure all possible Information about the disease. The report presented by this - conilnittee was as follows: Efficacy of Vaccinee Doubted Vaccines are not looked upon by the committee with much confidence as mitigants while regular habits of liv- ing and education of the public as to the dangers of careless coughers and sneezers .is thought of value. Discouragement of overcrowding of theatres, schools, churches, and other public gathering places is suggested as the closing of saloons, theatres and movie shows is believed. a good idea. Necessary gatherings should be held to a minimum. Masks are endorsed es- pecially in hospitals and among bar- bers dentists, etc. The committee was unanimous in the view that alco- holic liquors produced no beneficial results. Pneumonia Causes Death The reports of the committee furth- er states as follows: • "Death resulting from influenza are commonly due to pneumonia resulting from an invasion of the lungs by one or more forms of streptococci or by one or more forms of pneumococci or influenza bacillus orenza by the so-called i t bacillis of Pfeffer. This invasion is apparently secondary to the initial at- tack. • "Evidences conclusive that the infec- tive microorganism or virus of in- fluenza is given off from the nose or mouth of .the infected person.
