As a general thing tin- suf ferer thinks the trouble is only a sligfrt. cold and will anon wear otT. Therefore the physical) isn’t con sulted until the disease has he roine firmly Heated. Those who are \\ ise will imß wait to see if t lie cold will not disappear just as an ordinary <-ol<l does. They will consult n physician ns soon as the firs l symptoms of tin-t rouble are! apparent. It is true ot oofir-e; thut the supposed cold mav disap pear without the aid of me,lieine' of any kind, Imt it isn't side to lake any chances that it w ill. In New York and Philadelphia lllele have hern eases t>| the dls- ( ease in a lug percentage of t is homes for nearly two months niel just now the cities nl 1 lit* West aro realizing that the m lluenza isn’t to he trilled with, KVeil here in the South the nuni her of its victims in large.

There wort* more than ItliKi death* in New York city lasi w-ek. Os tins mi in her 20'.* were from heart disease. Tin.- statistics carried hy tin- dispatches don’t show how manv were the victims of the grip, but the large mi in her ot deaths trout heart disease in* dieates that the grip was respon sible tor many ot the deaths. In Chicago week before hist there were fifty-six deaths from tin- grip and in lh- lasi two weeks 21- I trout pneumonia.

Ot course tin- great majority of the eases are >0 ligh a* to attract very 1 1 111 •* attention, hut an epidemic in which almost everybody is af flicted it) a greater or hs* degree imlicatos a sit nation that i> very serious. An epidemic ot grip is to ho dreaded as much as an epnhmile of yellow lever. The percentage of fatal eus'-s isn’t as great, hut the js-reentagt is large enough to be 1 \tfoundv alarming. lfitiativ Southern city there were a* many deaths from yellow fever in pro portion to the number of inhabi tants ii* there are in Chicago from grip the whob country would be alarmed. There would Ik- talk of relief funds and there would 'K* quest ions that would practically paralyze trade; yet nobudv seem* to Im alaiim-d hy the grip. Though ;t is pronounced to Im- a highly iu teotious disease. While the epidemic prevails the js-ople in no pan of tin* country can Is- too careful of their health. As a mayor <>f fact the physicians ought to state through the public prints just what the symptoms of the d isi-ase are and what should •«) done on tip- tirst appearance of! them. • IV ‘ M GEORGIA MEN ARE SHREWDEST in the west. *'(M all Southerners now at work, in ihi giv.it west i- Jare’ none are -o k'-cn-w itfi-d. so alert and l ugressiw a* the men from Geor-; ’ 1 1 gut." Such is the opjuion of T. I*. Brady, a former Atlantian, who is { visiting hi* unlive city from Los Xligeles. t’.d.. where lie moved with his family a little more than 1 Iwn yi-nj-s ago. Il was in telling, of a Georgia society that, has lieeii : organizcil in Los Angeles with a membership ol over ItHithat Mr. I»rn 1 1 v made tin* fotvg<jjng com ment on t lif- ( h-i-rgia-man’s chat'-, acteristic.s as a settler of the land ! ai-l-oss I lie t.iival I*i vide. “There is, to Im* sure,’’ contin-j tii-d Mr. Itrady, “sometlung eom -111011 umoiig all men from South ern states, hilt tile ticol'giall is then business leader.

I'ivtty much the same (lung is true of the Vtr ■gmiaii. They don’t find the in -1 side sit tint ions as hood as soon as 1 In- tb-in'gian does. Like all other Western cities, l.os Augeh s has a lug share of Georgia people and many of these j are from Atlanta.
