GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER
has been a household remedy all over
A food map of Europe today shows j seat of governiTicii: thi little nation's
not a single country In which the fu
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a smail part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela
tion from the other nations to the peo
.ple of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief. '
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during - the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more in her own
first thought was to j'xpivss her gratitude-to
the Cor.nnission for Relief in
Beljrium for prosiTving the lives of
ii!l"::s of her citizens.
Germany, on the nther hand, need
not figure in surh si w.r.p for Ameri
cans because there is no present indi
cation that we shall he called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own forrd problem if she s
given access to. shipping and is enabled
to ulctrl'-ii'c food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou
ble centers.
England, Franco, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their futnire presents seri
ous difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the ncr;!-ern neutral coun
tries Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia is already in the
throes of famine, and -40,000,000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re-
the civilized world for more than
half a century for constipation, in

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy j
toll of death. The Armenian popula
tion is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al
though starvation Is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur
key are in the throes of serious strin
gencies. In order to fulfill America's pledge
in world relief we will have t export
every ton of food which can be han
dled through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 20,000,000
tons compared with 6,000,000 tons pre
war exports and 11,S20,000 tons ex
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to lighten the black spots
on the hunger map or if we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

U. S. HEALTH SERVICE
ISSUES
Increase in At! Respiratory Dis
eases, After the Influenza
Epidemic Probable.
Influenza Expected to Lurk for Months.
How to Guard Against Pneumonia.
Common Colds Highly Catching Im
portance of Suitable Clothing Could
Save 100,000 Lives.
Washington, D. C. With the subsid
ence, of the epidemic of influenza the
attention of health officers Is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause a large number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. . According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health instructions.
"The present epidemic," said Sur
geon General Blue, "has taught by bit
ter experience how readily a condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic is
over, there will continue to be a large
-number of scattered cases, many of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against." The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after a
great fire, saying, "No fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis-
appeared. On the contrary, he con
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there is dan
ger of the fire rekindling from smol
dering embers."
"Then you fear another outbreak of
Influenza?" he was asked. "Not neces
sarily another large epidemic," said
the Surgeon General, "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
of the danger they will be compelled to-
pay a heavy death toll from pneumo
nia and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
"It Is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or
dinary coughs and cold's are highly
catchinc and. are spread from person
to person by means of droplets of
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ismorant people cough or sneeze witn
out covering their mouth and nose. It
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out of doors, the respira
tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo
nia, etc.) are Infrequent; In the fall,
' as people bejrin to remain ludoors, the
respiratory iliseases Increase; ip the
winter, w'nen people are prone to stay
In badly ventilated, overheated rooms.
the ivspiraiory diseases become very
prevalent.
Su-tab:-: Cicth;.-Q Jrr.pcrtant.
"Still another factor in the produc
tion of colds, pneumonia and other re
spiratory diseases is carelessness cr ig
norance of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
In warm rooms too heavily dressed or,
what is even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows are kept closed in order to be
comfortably warm. This is a very in
jurious practice.
Cculd Save 100,000 Lives.
"I bilieve we could easily save one
hundred thousand lives annually In
the United . States If all the people
would adopt the system of fresh air
living followed, for example, in tuber
culosis sanatoria. There is nothing
mysterious about it no specific medi
cine, no vaccine. The important thing
Is right living, good food and plenty of
fresh air.
Droplet Infection Explained in Pictures.
'The Bureau of Public Health,
Treasury Department, Iras just issued
a striking poster drawn by Derryman,
the well-known Washington cartoonist.
The pester exemplifies the modern
method of health education. A few
years ago, under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would have is
sued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role of
droplet infection in the spread of re
spiratory diseases. The only ones who
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject. .The man
in the street, the plain citizen and the
many millions who toil for their living
would have had no time and no- desire
to wade through the technical phraseology."

AXIOMS CREDITED TO BIG MEN
That of J. P. Morgan Has for a Long
Time Been Considered, the
Most Famous.
"The way to meet trouble Is to face
it," was one of Theodore N. Vail's fa
vorite axioms, according to the Wall
Street Journal.
Ilarriman had two he was fond of
quoting: "To dodge difficulties is to
lose the power of decision," and "It is
never safe to look into the future
with eyes of fear."
"You can grip success bette'r with
bare hands than with kid gloves," is
a Schwab-made maxim much to the
point. '
i Ford's oft-repeated declaration,
"Money is the most useless thing in
the world," gives you a sidelight on
his character.
It was James J. Hill who coined
the phrase that It was not so much
the high cost of living that affected
the country as "the cost of high liv
ing." One of the most famous of all mod
ern business mottoes was that origi
nated by J. P. Morgan, "You. can't
unscramble an omelet." There wa3
deeper economic meaning In these five
words than anyone realized at the
time they were uttered, namely, when
It was first whispered that the gov
