INFLUENZA AND CHEERFULNESS.
to the editor. Sir, —Tho great thing in tho present influenza crisis is to look on the bright side of things. Some people are continually on the whine, making themselvcw miserable end others around than. The writer of this has had a hard passage during the last three weeks, but is. a.", it were, out hi smooth, sailing again, and the great thing is to stop grumbling and keep our spirits up. This applies to patients nnd particularly to those around them, and tho best way the publio can assist people wiio-o homes they cannot get inside to do anything ia to keep quiet Outside of them. It does not- mutter for y little time aa to whether tho fowlhousa or dog kennel is repaired. It would ba a God send to hundreds if the continual hammering and knocking had a short holiday, just for humanity’s sake. It is not too much to ark. I am sure; in fact, I would bog a, little consideration for those suffering. But, abow> all, let us look out for the culver lining ir the clouds It is conrihg. As regards th V.A.D. people, they deserve medals or come thing.—l am. etc., A.P. December 7.
