AN ENEMY UNMASKED
■ Medical science has stamped out cholsr* and plague; against influenza arid the common cold it has hitherto been powerless. _ So it is good news (observes the "Daily Graphic") that the bacillus of influenza has been isolated, which in modern medical research work is the first step to finding a preventive or a cure. An infinitesimal germ, so small that it escapes through an earthenware filler and is only visible under the microscope which magnified a thousand, times —such is the enemy .that drives U6 to bed, gloomily hating life, and makes us a nuisance to our follow beings. ■ May the doctors kill that germ, and then unearth the common-' eat, most troublesome pest in the world — the germ of the common cold!
