LOGGED-OFF
FARM LAND
FOR SOLDIERS
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13— Elevei
million acres of "logged-off " timbe
land on the Pacific coast might be rr
claimed and used for agricultural put
poses, according to the statement o
Walter H. Graves, whose appolntmen
by Secretary Lane as an engineer o
the reclamation service was reeentl;
announced. .Mr. Graves has been in
structed to make a study of the largi
districts of cut-over timber land it
the west for the purpose of determln
ing its availability when cleared fo
farms for soldiers after the war. Thi
land denuded of timber would have ti
be cleared of the encumbering logs
stumps and brush.
The redemption of this vast wilder
ness, it is estimated, would add twi
billion dollars to the farm wealth o
the Pacific states. The cost of clear
ing the land would be less than thi
value of the land if improved tnechan
teal devices were used. Mr Grave:
said.

EPIDEMIC OF
INFLUENZA IS
SIMILAR GRIP
WASHINGTON, Oct 14.—Spanish
influenza, public health scientists be
lieve, is very similar to the epidemic
of grippe which swept the country
during (he winter of 1889 and 1890.
Very probably the infection, resur
rected In Europe, and after sweeping
the war-torn countries, now has ap
peared In the United States, has a
very ancient history, taking it back
to the day of Hippocrates and Bivins,
more than four hundred years before
Christ
The best means of treatment of in
fluenza cases were communicated to
the country a few days ago lty Sur
geon General Blue through the United
States. Now General Blue has issued
a leaflet which tells something about
tlie strange malady.
"it seems probable that In 1918_, as
ill 1889-90, the earliest appearance was
in Europe." it says. “By April cases
wore occurring on the western front.
In Spain, according to reports. 30 per
cent of the population were attacked
in May. The 1889 epidemic, starting
in northern Europe, also fell heavily
on Spain; the present ruler, then
three years old. being one of the first
attacked in Madrid. The king of
Spain is said also to have been at
tacked in the present epidemic. The
epidemic of 1918 was at its height in
Germany in June and July. It has ap
peared in practically every section of
Eurone In England the epidemic pre
vailed in May. June and July.
"Out breaks have been reported
from various sections of Ihe United
States, but the spread has been by
no means so rapid as in 188!), when
tbc disease occurred In America al
iiicsi simultaneously with its appear
au e in western Europe
"The symptoms In the present pail
demic have been an acute onset, often
verv suddenq. with bodily weakness
and pains in the head, eves back and
elsewhere in the body. Vomiting mav
I-,- a svmntoni of the onset and dizzi
ness if frequent Chilly sensations
are usual, and the tempwnturo Is
from 100 to 104 degrees, the pulse re
maining comparatively low. Sweat
ing is not infrequent. The appetite
)s lost tyid prostration is "Wrked. Con
stipation Is the rule. Drowsiness and
photophobia are common. The fever
-- -* -i
usually lasts from three to five days,
but relapses are not uncommon, and
complications, particularly pulmonary,
as to be feared. The death rate is
usually given as extremely low; but
in the latter periods of an outbreak
an increased number of deaths, pre
sumably due to complications, has
been reported in Spain and in the
lulled States. Besides bronchitis
and pneumonia, inflammation of the
middle ear and cardiac weakness may
follow the disease.
"The short course of the fever (al
ways less than seven days) in uncom
plicated influenza, is ;mi aid in diag
nosis. All ages are attacked, young
| adults being especially susceptible. In
(iermany there has been such a pre
ponderance of cases among the young
that if is supposed that the 1XXH epi
demic conferred an immunity on most
of those at present over 30 years of
age This has not been observed
elsew here."

LONDON. Oct 13. The national
restaurant here, established to expose
the profiteers, is not only self-sup

according to Alderman (T F. Spencer,
its director Caterers had charged

good food at re.i mnuhle prices only
hcrntiso it had government aid.
After deducting rent, management

Meals sold for thirteen cents yield
a net profit of about 1 wo cents Com

dian observes "if p thus beyond
question that, even ;it wjir prices, ex
cellent food in .sufficient quantities
can he sold at prices within the reach
of everyone, with a sound profit left
over."
The British food controller thus is
encouraged in his policy of opening
national restaurants in other big cities.
