FRENCH DOCTOR CLAINS ° (FLU CAUGHT ONLY ONCE? Paris, France, Novémber 24. If you had thé real Spanish Fln back in 1918 and 1919, and didn’t die of it you won't have it again. You can start in the winter with a perfectly light heart, and no worry whatsoever as to how you would treat yourself in the event of a fresh at- tack—rjow that the time honored whiskeyl and quinine cure is no longer integrally available. This is the solemn and scientific as- surance of Professor C. Dopter of the famous Val-de-Grace hospital at Paris. He has just published the full statistics and reports of the hospital on the Spanish Flu epidemic since its original arrival in 1918 and which demonstrate conclusively that one at- tack of the disease” establishes im- munity. In other words, the disease itself creates within the victim, if he doesn’t die, a transformation of the organ- ism which renders it impossible for the same cause to produce the same cffects as regards the disease in ques- tion. From the standpoint of statistics Professor Dopter points out that the Spanish Flu of 1918 and 1919 came in two waves. It was quickly demon- strated that those who had the dis- case during the first wave did not contract it during the second. This has proved equally true in all sub- sequent epidemics. This also ex- plains the fact, noted almost every- where, that aged people placed in microbe infested surroundings resist- ed better the disease than young peopie who had not yet had a chance to become immune. The conclusions drawn from these statistics and observations have also demonstrated their truth by experi- ments conducted by Professor Dopter. Volunteer patients who were given an injection of Flu microbes came down with the discase in four days. The experiment tried later on the same individuals produced no result what- \ (ever, their organisms having become immune. COMMITTEE WILL PROBE WITHDRAWAL OF FUNDS (By United Press) Bigmarck, N.

CANDY FOR KIDDIES T0 | COST LESS THIS YEAR — 1 i Boxed Candies, However, Will } Cost the Same This { Year as Last i (By United Press.) 1 Chicago, Nov. 24.—Candy for the kiddies will be one third cheapew this Christmas than last, but it will cost i the same for the young man who will “say it with chocolates” to his § lady fair. This is due to the fact i that b05 candy was packed six months i ago, when sugar prices were soaring, H according'to Albert Levy, candy man« ufacturer. 3 “The general public does not rea= § lize that all the best boxed chocolate i candy has to age before it is good,” { said Levy. “All good boxed candy H is abolit six months old.
