A gloomy day and raining hard
tonight. Harry has been away three
days. Mother & I thoroughly
cleaned the whole house today.
I beat every rug. Took us until
4 P. M. Then I washed my
hair and took a bath. Have
several hundred cases of "flu"
in town. Everything closed. It
is rumored that the Kaiser
has abdicated. Letter from
Carlotta invited me to Coffeyville
to visit next week.

Went to the Canteen at 7 A. M. We had
50 aviators were a very jolly
crowd. We fed them until they
could eat no more. They wanted
to take the Canteen on with them.
The commanding officer asked
me to prescribe for the influenza.
I did. He purchased at the drug
store what I told him. Tonight
at the Canteen we had 150 un-
expected solders. But we were
equal to the emergency and
served all. Harry came in tonight
after being gone 4 days but is going
to stay at the hotel awhile for
fear of bringing the "flu" home.
Letter from Keene. Saying she
was coming down.
