Food Sales Arranged.

AS there are only two more days
left to subscribe to the Third Liberty
Loan everyone in town is urged to help
double the towns allotment. All the
different societies of the town will en-
deavor to take more bonds. Up to the
present time the Foresters are about
the leading subscribers. In the
schools the children probably will
bring enough to secure a small bond.
About six of the rooms have reached
the 100 per cent. mark in the war
savings campaign. The local troop of
the Boy Scouts met last evening and
reported that $500 worth of bonds had
been sold in their house to house
canvass. The scouts did splendid
work in the last two loans and it is the
general opinion of leaders that they
will reach the $500 mark before the
present loan campaign is finished.
The town has reached $4,000.
Everyone should subscribe who has
not done so, and remember that they
are doing something to help the Plain
vile boys who are in the trenches.
One of the reasons that the loan made
a big jump was the death of Private
Francis Barnes and the injury to-
Private Wesley Burton.

DANGEROUS DoPEs

DOpeS are dangerous; therefore
don't use them.
This warning has a special signi-
ficance just now when both the NOR
bidity and the mortality rates of in
fluenza are increasing, when they
should be going down.
Most cases of influenza and pneu-
monia start with what appears to be
a severe cold and this is why so many
people rush to the nearest drug store
for cough medicine" or something
good for a cold"
Most of the cough and cold cures"
sold in drug stores contain codeine,
morphine or opium in some form and
may be classed as "doped" cures and
are, therefore, dangerous.
There is excellent medical autho-
rity for asserting that to give these
drugs to persons suffering from colds
or influenza is to invite an attack of
pneumania. As the Department has
repeatedly advised and urged, the
right thing to do in all such cases is
to go to bed, or at least stay indoors,
call your doctor and follow his advice
and treatment. Don't attempt to
practice medicine yourself; also let
the druggist OF pharmacist stick to
his legitimate business of preparing
medicines on prescriptions issued by
physicians.
1t is practically certain that we will |
have pneumonia and influenza with |
us the remainder of the winter and |
also during the early spring months.
There will also be occasional flare
ups; but it is not believed that either |
of the diseases named will assume cpl
demic form. The Commissioner of
Health believes that the situation is
under control and can be- so kept,
provided only the people of Chicago
will continue to give the same intel
hgent aid and cooperation that they
did during September and October
when the outbreak was in its most
dangerous stages.
In this connection is called to the
necessity and Importance of a strict
observance of the rules and regula-
tons governing the prompt reporting;
isolation and cure of influenza and
cases. There has been no
changes made as to the rule requir-
ing that influenza patients must be
kept isolated during their sickness
and for a period of not less than five
days after return of normal tempe
nature.
As is well known, pneumonia is
most prevalent in Chicago from De-
cember to April. This means that /
even though we have no serious re-
of influenza, it is going to 1
require united effort if the death rate ,
rom pneumonia is to be kept from I
much higher that it has in
iormer years. '

Pneumonia is highly contagious. c
