"Many years ago a German by the
name of Pfeiffer knew of the influenza
bacillus and was able to distinguish
it from others," said Dr. Hugh Cabot,
professor of surgery in the Medical
school, when consulted regarding the
supposedly- modern influenza epidem-
ic. "At that time," he continued, "a
severe season of the disease had never
been known; however, the bacillus
was beleived by most patheologists to'
be the direct cause of what is known
as influenza. By the way, the word
'influenza', comes from the Spanish
'influence' and was at one time beleiv-

ed to be a disease caused by the 'in-
fluence' or act of God.
Caused by Mixture
"Nevertheless," continued Dr. Ca-
bot, "the recent severe epidemics have
not been caused solely by this germ.
A strepto-cacus bacillus has become
mixed with the influenza germ and
together they form a most deadly dis-
ease. It has been proven, however,
that the strepto-cacus germ was the
real cause of most of the fatalities.
It is interesting to note that small pox
is also' a mixed infection containing
the strepto-cacus bacillus."
No V ccIne Effective
Dr. Cabot is convinced that no ser-
um or vaccine yet discovered is ef-
fective as a preventative of the flu.
He went on to say, "In 1889 there
was an epidemic of the disease
throughout the country. It is true that
it was not as severe as the recent
ones, yet at that time there were no
camps as there were last year and
it is through the close assoication of
the thousands of people, in these
camps that greatly increased the
spread of the dangerous flu.
"This year is by no means as bad
as last. Next year we may expect
even fewer influenza cases, but there
are bound to be some every year.
Science has yet to find a real prevent-
ative other than to urge people to use
their own common sense."
Contracted Through Contact
When asked about his opinion of
the idea that newspapers tend to
spread the dAsease by publicity, thus
making' the 'people afraid, Dr. Cabot
said: "I believe there is no founda-
tion to this belief. People are not
susceptible to disease through the
mind, but chiefly through contact with
others. As I said before, it is not
likely that there will ever be another
epidemic "smilar to last' year. for
the conditions will neverbe asfavor-
able as thiey were.
"As the influenza will gradually
dwindle as the years go by, people
will forget that there ever was such
a thing. The beginning of influenza
dates way back to the middle ages,
though most people seem to have the
idea that it is a modern disease.
Sometimes I almost wish that the
old Spanish idea, that influenza was
an act of God, was true."

THE ARCADE
That an arbitrator and concilliator
in a domestip quarrel receives the full
quota of hardships that fall to every

Ellis, whose wife has left him. In so
doing he stirs up the wrath of the
