WAR SOWINGS STAMPS
ISSUED BY THE
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
The War Saviugs Plan, by which our Government expects to
raise more than two billion dollars during the next twelve months,
not only provides an opportunity for the millions of loyal Americans,
whose meager income prevents their subscribing for Liberty Bonds,
to lend their small savings to their country it has a much wider
scope.
It is an appeal to every man, woman and child of the nation,
whether their income be measured in dollars or thousands of dollars,
to limit their purchases to necessary commodities to SAVE and
lend their savings to the Government.
The Saving is as indispensable as the Lending
The truth of this is apparent to every thinking person. The
great war we are waging for freedon necessitates the putting of
hundreds of thousands of men in the fielc and keeping them fed and
clothed. It necessitates the production of ships and shells, guns and
motor trucks tind airplanes and hospital supplies. To produce these
things will require the combined effort of most of the big industrial
plants of the country, which are still making for you and your friends
all the pleasant and comfortable luxuries you consumed before the
war.
You bought Liberty Bonds, of course, and you'll buy more next
month. That is patriotic and highly commendable. But you are not
doing enough when you draw money out of the bank and invest it
in Government securities. You must do more. You must buckle
down and make it your own personal daily business to help win the
war. You must give up the things you don't need.
The Government must have money a tremendous quantity of
money and it must have the productive labor of millions of workers
who are now making unnecessary articles for you and other Ameri
cans who can afford to buy them.
Get the Thrift Stamp Habit
You, Mr. Business Man: "When you go home tonight, take your
wife a Thrift Card, with a dozen stamps attached, instead of a box of
candy or a box of flowers. If she is the right sort, she will appre
ciate it far more than she would candy or flowers.
And you, Society Women : Give War Savings Stamps for prizes
at your card parties for favors at your luncheons for wedding
gifts and anniversary remembrances, or buy stamps with the money
the parties ccst.
Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps can be purchased at arr
postoffiee or bank.

though King Alfonso of Spain was
one of the victims of the influenza epi
demic in 1S03 and again this summer,
Spanish authorities repudiate any
claim to inlluenza as a "Spanish" dis
ease. If the people of this country do
not take care the epidemic will be

United States that soon we shall hear

Information concerning Spanish influ-

the U. S. Fublic Health Service has
authorized the following official inter
view :
What is Spanish Influenza? Is It
something new? Does it come from
Spain?

country and called 'Spanish -Inlluenza'

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and a feeling of se
vere sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then raphlly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called 'Spanish' Influenza la
Identical with the epidemics of influen
za of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
' this country since 1G17. It is Interest
I ing to know that this first epidemic
! was brought here from Valencia,
1 Spain. Since that time there have
i been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In and tt;u an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thonce over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
"Although the present epidemic Is
called 'Spanish influenza,' there is n
reason to believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from t he Orient and they c:ill at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
fall of 1017."
How can "Spanish lnfluenza"-be rec
ognized? "There Is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of 'Spanish influ
enza' can be recognized. On the oth
er hand, recognition is easy where
there is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic raged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case of ordi
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not Spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
examination or the patient's blood may
aid the physician in recognizing 'Span
ish influenza, for It has bocu found
that in this disease the number of
white corpuscles shows little or no In
crease above the normal. It is possi
ble that the laboratory investigations
now being made through the National
Research Council and the United
States Hygienic Laboratory will fur
nish a more certain way in which Indi
vidual, cases of this disease can be
recognized."
What is the course cf the disease?
Do people die of it?
"Ordinarily, the fever lasts from
three to four days .nd the' patient re
covers. But while the proportion of
deaths In the present epidemic has
generally been low, in some places the
outbreak has been severe and deaths
hflve been numerous. When death oc
curs it is usually the result of a com
plication." What causes the disease and how Is
it spread?
"Bacteriologists who have studied In
fluenza epidemics in the past have
found in many of the cases a very
Small rod-shaped germ .called, after its
discoverer, Tfeiffer's bacillus. In other
cases of apparently the same kind of
disease there were found pneumococci,
the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto
cocci, and by others germs with long
names.
"No matter what particular kind of
germ causes the epidemic, It is now i
believed that Influenza Is always
spread from person to person, the
germs being carried with the air along
with the very small droplets of mucus, r,rircirv

in the air in the form of dust coming
from dried mucus, from coughhrg and
sneezing, or from careless people who
spit on the floor and on the sidewalk.
As in most other catching diseases, a
person who lias only a mild attack of
the disease himself may give a very
severe attack to others."
What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
' "It is very important that every per
son who becomes sick with influenza
should go home at once and go to bed.
This will help keep away dangerous
complications and will, at the same
time, keen the patient from scattering
the disease far and wide. It is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to j
sleep In the same room with the pa- j
tieut. In fact, no one but the nurse i
should be allowed in the room.
"If there is couch and sputum or
running of the eyes and nose, care
should be taken that all such dis
charges are collected on bits of gauze
o- rag or paper napkins and burned.
If the patient complains of fever and
headache, he should le given water to
drink, a cold compress to the forehead
and a light sponge. Only such medi
cine should be given as is prescribed
by the doctor. It is foolish to ask the
druggist to prescribe and may lie dan
gerous to take the so-called 'safe, sure
and harmless' remedies advertised by
patent medicine manufacturers.
"If the patient is so situated that he
can be attended only by some one who
must also look after others in the fam
ily, it is advisable that such attendant
wear a wrapper, apron or gown over

"Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing In danger

Will a person who has had influenza
before catch the disease again?
"It Is well known that an attack of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other attack of the same disease. This
appears not to be true of 'Spanish In
fluenza.' According to newspaper re
ports the King of Spain suffered an
attack of Influenza during the epi
demic thirty years ago, and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak In
Spain."
How can one guard against Influ
