Do not make the error of regarding
grip as an exaggerated cold. There
is a big difference between the two.
Grip is an epidemic disease that poi
sons the vital organs. When q per-
son has grip. the air passages are
alive with millions Of bacilli poison
ing the blood. The infected person
feels tired and exhausted.
It requires a good tonic laxative to
keep the body Of the patient as strong
as possible to counteract the effect of
the poisons created by the grip bac-
illus. An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities is the safest rem
edy. Such is Peruna- Beware es-
pecially of coal tar powders or tab
lets because they lessen the vitality of
the patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success in former grip epidemics In
dications point to the return of grip
this winter.

SilO and Forage Crops.
Larned, Kan, Feb. 4.-Irrigation,
dairying, silo and forage crops and
road and bridge work were the sub
jects discussed in the farmers insti-
tute sessions which we're held at Bur-
dett H. B. Walker, Kansas irriga-
ton expert, and Prof. Lee H. Gould
of Kansas State Agricultural college
were the leading speakers The large
attendance at the meetings was en-
couraging at the time but the indica-
tions now are that the interest de-
veloped in the subjects under discus
sion is the keenest that has ever been
aroused in Pawnee county. Farmers
are convinced that this is to be a year
Of bumper crops and they are anx-
ious to take advantage of every
means to derive the greatest benefit
from the coming good yields in order
to make up for the almost complete
crop failure of 1913. 1t is believed

TO SING old Tunes
All Kansas VIII Gather on May
Day in Giant Chorus.
State Board Education Would
Have Outdoor Fete.

For a whole state to join in sing
ing the good old songs, to devote q
sunny spring day to recalling tho
words of Annie Laurie" and THE
Old Folks at Home" Il a conception
that may be realized in Kansas May 1.
On that day the board Of admins
tration would have men. women and
children OF the state gather In the
different communities and, under
clear Kansas skies. sing the immor-
tai tunes together. As leaders of the
giant chorus, they would appoint the
young college men and women who
are attending the university. the ag-
ricultural college and the normals.
Professors Beach. Hoover. Valley,
and Skilton Of the normals. college
and university have signified their ap-
proval of the plan. and are working
on the details of the program.
The idea of having a statewide
celebration peculiar to the state. has
been adopted by several eastern states.
and by nearly all Of the older Euro
pean nations. Usually such fetes are
connected with playground and folk
dancing movement in the schools.
Systematic efforts have been made
for years by Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Pennsylvania to cultivate a taste
for community music. The extension
departments of the universities of
these states are using every possible
method to bring good music to the
people, and then get them to sing It
A recent bulletin from the University
of Wisconsin mentions the Swedish
Bayreuth in Kansas" meaning the
annual music festival held under the
auspices of Bethany college at Linds-
borg.
Dean Skilton Of the school Of fine
arts at the University of Kansas will
have charge of the singing on Mt.
Dread. It is thought that the annual
May fete Of the university women will
be combined with the singing exer-
cises. It has been the custom Of the
women to unite in an outdoor spec
tacle which consists of folk dancing
and rural plays. These affairs have
always attracted large crowds, as they
are staged by several hundred uni
versity women.

Tribune, Kan. Feb. 4.-Citizens
here are planning to place a signal

house that can be seen for miles
around. Syracuse recently adopted
the plan and several other western
Kansas cities are considering it. The
agitation started here when Harry

stormy night recently. In many sec

that the idle winter days should be
taken advantage of that they may be
prepared to save the 1914 forage crop
by storage in si1os. Cooperative dig
ging is practiced and silo bees are be-
ing held in all parts of the county.
The farmers are SO thoroughly alive to
the need of silos that. rather than let
frosty weather delay the work. they
are heating the sand used in cement
mixing so that the silos can be COM
pleted before the regular run OF
