The appalling ravages of Spanish Jnfluenza in this country are perhaps best realized by the statement recently made that more deaths have resulted mn little more than a month from' this desease than through our whole eighteen months participation in the attles of the Kuropean War. Our gri danger mow, declare Authorities, is the great American ten- dency to forget easily and to believe the peril is over. Competent author- ities claim the coming of cold weather is very apt to bring a return of this disease and there should be no let-up throughout the winter months of the following casily observed precautions, remembering that Influenza is far gasier to prevent than cure. Influenza is a crbwd disease. Avoid c¢rowds as much possible. Inflvenza rms spread when ignorant or care- less persons sneeze or cough without using a handkerchief. Cover up each cough or sneeze. Do not floor, sidewalk, in street ca places. Avoid the use of common drinking cups and roller towels in public places. Breathe some reliable germicidal and antiseptic ait to de- ¢ stroy the germs that do find lodgment in your nose and throat. Remember, no safer precaution against Iafluenza could be emploved in this manner than to get from the nearest drt ore a complete Hyomei Outfit consisting of a bottle of the “Pure oil of Hyomei and a little vest- pocket hard rubber inhaling device, into which a few drops of the oil are poured. You should carry this Tn- haler about with you during the day and each half-hour or so put it in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure, healing, germ-Kkilling air into the passages of your nose, throat and lungs, s By destroying germs before thay wctually begin work in your blood, you may make yourself practically im- mune to infection All these suggestions about Spanish 1fluenza are equalfy true in the pre- ention of colc tarrh of nose and and even pneu- monia. Don’t become careless. Do your part. Keep the germs aw.

Foster-Milbura Po., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. ¥, C1ASS FOR FOREIGN BORN AT ARMY POST _adip Humphries Private Makes Americanization Experiment Camp Humphries, Va., Dec. 17. \n interesting practical experiment | carried out ia the Engineers’ Training camp at Camp Humphreys, Virginia. The man w conceived the idea be- hind the experiment was a private soldier of Italian birth, Salvatore Cu dia by name. On his own initiative Private Cudia built up a system of education among the thousands ot Italians at Camp Humphre which has been in operation since early summer. Several years of experience in the newspaper and theatrical world had | brought Private Cudia into close con-| tact with many individuals and he ' knew especially the psycholagy of the foreign born. Realizing that the best way to attract his men was through giving entertainment, he began by | assembling and training a small or- chestra, the cost of which was de- frayed out of his owa earnings as! regimental tailofr. The first musical | program which he offered to the men was one calculated to attract them Humphreys gathered in full force. An Experience Meeting. After the musical program Private Cudia offered to assist any one In the audience in solving the every-day problems which beset privates in the army. Knowing the sort of stories he was to hear, Cudia had primed him- self with answers. One private at once arose and complained of the way in which he belleved the government was treating him. He had a wife and chidren in Italy; for months they had received no money from the American government; for some rea- son the allotments had not been 1 ceived. The poor soldier, whose un- derstanding of the situation was aa thing but clear, thought he was be- ing cheated out of his pay. He even canfessed that he felt no particular loyalty toward a country not his own, a country which he inteaded to leave as soon as he could, a country in whose army he was serving really ainst his will. The frank statement of this fellow’s case aroused the keenest interest among the Italian bora soldiers pres- ent and Cudia was called upon to square the matter. Having investf- gated a similar case in the past, Cu- ready with an answer. He immediately sprang to his feet and men whether they kaew that they did not. He then told them that many of the draft boards and camp officials simply could not learn their names and that because many European bora people who had come to America to earn a livelihood had naot been willing to learn the English language they had involved them- selves in a great deal of trouble. The government was not so much at fault, he told them, as they themselves. He would be glad, of course, to help them straighten out their temporary Aiff but as a step toward doing away with such difficulties in the fu- ture, he proposed that they should all jain classes in English which he would start for them. English Classes Started. These classes were started and per- ion was obtained from head- rters allowing the Italians to hold meetings for the purpose ot and speaking English. Throughaut the summer and up to the present time, Private Cudia and his assistants have continued these classes, - Through learning , English the men have put themselves in a bet- ter position to understand what this country has been fighting for. But Cudia’s idea did not stop at the teaching of [English to Italian born soldiers. It was a much larger thing than that. His aim was to bring his people into closer relatians with Am- erica, the land of their adoption. He found that many of them had, very zation; the primary thought with a large number of them was to return to Italy as soon as the war was over. Cudia. was much too wise to attempt direct persuasion with these mes; he endeavored rather to bring them into close touch with the American soldier and present, step by step, the advan- | tages of American citizenship. To! this end he organized dramatic clubs, reading circles, and vaudevilles and even published, at his own expense, a booklet of information so that when he made an appeal the men should be in a receptive mood. Many Decided on Naturalization. When he felt that the proper time had come, Cudia arranged a large mass meeting at which the proposi- tion of becoming American citizens was presented to the men. At this first mass meeting over 100 TItalians pledged themselves to become citi- zens of the United States. Up to date over 700 such pledges have been se- cured. Private Cudia feels that his experi- ment has a#h\e\ ed a large measure ot success. me of the most baffling problems in the country has been tho reconciliation of the various dissatis- fled elements among the foreign-born and foreign-speaking soldiers in our! great draft army. Cudia is of the opinion that the surest way to de- velop love and gratitude for America and American Institutions is for the United States to see that its forelgn- born soldlers enjoy every possible moral and material favor while fight- ing under the Stars and Stripes. His work at_Camp Humphreys represents a significant atack upon one of the greatest problems the nation is now called upon to face and save. | DENY U. S ARRIVAL, London..
