I don't know why, but I was certainly relieved." > NATIONAL FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK DECEMBER 1 TO 8 The War Emergency Union has just received a copy of Mr. Hoover's new message calling upon the Amer- ican people to set aside Sunday, December 1, and the week following for the consideration of America's opportunity for renewed service and sacrifice.

Schneider The Influénza situation 'at present and. during the past week is fully as unsatisfactory as at any time since. | the twelfth of this month, when the | epidemic obtained a new start, and it is quite likely that more stringent measures must soon be employed, if | much suffering and needless sacri- fice of human lives is to be avoided. It is with much regret that the an- nouncement is made of the death last Saturday of Mr. Gustav Haas, after being ill for only a few days | with influenza. Must Observe Health Rules Every precaution should be taken avoid persons who are afflicted with what may appear like only an ordinary cold, as this is the appear- ance of the early stages of influenza, and also because some people have this disease in such a mild form that they try to ignore the condition, and instead of being confined to the house as the law demands, they continue to go about their ordinary duties and spread this dangerous disease broad- cast among their friends and business associates, It is the mild cases, and persons being at large before they are fully recovered, that is the cause of the widespread prevalence and dif- ficulty of controling this disease. There is no disease more contagious than influenza, and those who have not had the malady recently, are most likely to contract the disease if they are exposed. There is practic- ally no immunity, and vigorous health does not protect a person from con- tracting this extremely contagious disease, if they come in contact with' people who are afflicted with it.

E. Moore of Dorr Field, Arcadia, Fla., {in the following letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Moore of Wilmette. Incidentally, Lieutenant Moore re- (fers to a promotion, in position. to (assistant officer in charge of flying, and field commander, an advance which, he complains, will keep him from enjoying a Thanksgiving fur- lough in Wilmette. The letter reads: Dorr Field, Arcadia, Florida. November 14, 1918. Dear Folks: -- ; Received your most welcome letter yesterday and was sure glad to hear from you. 2 Will try to get home Thanksgiving but can't swear to it as I got a promotion last Friday, in position only however--which requires a great deal of attention, and don't see how TI can break some one in to take my place for a few weeks. Assistant Officer of Flying Don't know why they picked on me but they made me assistant of- ficer in charge of flying, and field commander. I am out on the field from 5:45 A. M. to 5 P. M. every day. We have four stages in this gunnery and have commanders for each stage and I must watch all the work of the commanders and officers who are taking the course. 1 have my own ship, a dual control double ailerdu Hispano, for my own use. I go np and watch the practices from the air when I get tired of staying on the ground, It is a good job. I don't mind it so much since the war is Office. over. Isn't it rotten that I haven't had a chance to get over? Just to think of the time I have put in and accomplished nothing. 1 say its Search for Lost Aviator Yesterday I went out on a hunting expedition in the Everglades for a man who was lost last Sunday when making a cross-country trip. We called off all regular flying instruc- tions and started a patrol of 42 His- panos. We flew two mites apart in the morning constantly on the watch out for a ship on the ground. Qne of the boys found the ship in the Ever- glades up on its nose, with a broken "prop" and wing.

He found a note saying the unfortunate pilot had started to walk toward camp, as he thought. The man had heen without food for three days and we thought he must be about dead by this time. But we didn't give up the chase. We decid- ed to hunt for the man. We all land- ed at Okochobee City for dinner and started out again. We flew from 15 to 200 feet over all the country around the wreck. We found the man 30 miles from the ship and he had been constantly going in circles and was just about dead. He was just getting out of a swamp when discovered. He sure had some wild experiences. ships had passed over him the day before without seeing him. The man was nearly insane, Guess and hope he will pull through O. K. after re- maining in the hospital for a little while. Hoping to see you all soon and sending lots of love I will close, Harold.

ON DECEMBER 2 | Orders reached Evanston this week ordering the demobilization of the student army training corps of | Northwestern university. The demo- | hilization will commence December | 2, it was stated. | It is understood a similar order has | gone to all the other universities and | colleges of the country where there lare 8. A T..C corps. Eighteen hundred students of the] Northwestern university will be af- fected by the order, as it refers to {the men in the Chicago department | as well as those on the local campus. | It was stated today that strict dis- | | cipline would be maintained until the | | last man receives his discharge. Students, to obtain an honorable discharge, must have a perfect re- port, as those who break any rules or grow lax in their work will be un- able to receive the coveted honorable discharge papers, It is believed the establishment of the corps there and its maintenance has cost the government in the neighborhood of $250,000.
