BEGIN WARFARE RIGHT AWAY
Every Hours Delay In Fighting the
Fly Means Lengthenlng Of Human
Death List In Summer.

Don't take too lightly the campaign
to swat the fly merely because you
have heard so much about It; that Is
all the more reason for taking 1t seri-
ously, for II has not been discussed
enough, apparently to warn the people
of all the dangers from the pesky little
insect. for there Is much carelessness
Listen to this from the United States
health bureau:
ely time is more to be feared than
war time.
"Screen your windows. Begin now
in your warfare against files. You can
not begin too soon. Your precaution
may save your life.
1T has been clearly demonstrated
that flies carry the bacillus of tubercu-
losls in their bodies after being In the
room where consumptive is con-
fined.
"Our investigation shows that as the
temperature rises the flies become
more active and intestinal diseases be-
come generally prevalent, with CORE
spending increase In mortality. II is
a mistake to think that these diseases
are due to the hot weather.

WORDS AND DEEDS
(By WALT MASoN.)

l may use language till l make De-
mOSthenes look like fake. / may rear
up some nine feet high, and tell how !
would bleed and die, If l we're not so
old and gray and crippled up and full
of hay. l may denounce the foreign
foe and tell how gladly l would go to
WELD shotgun in the scrap and shoe
the kaiser off the map; but If l think
more of my wad than Of my country
and my God, the things say won't cut
much grass; my words are merely
sounding brass. Our Uncle Sam Is
needing men; he's needing rhino by
the ton he can't conduct high-class
scrap without a lot Of dough on tap.
To raise the dust he asks all lads to
lend him all their surplus scads, to buy
his bonds-security the safest ever
man will see. And If do not gambol
up, as gay and fFisky as a pup, and
buy the bonds till go broke, my loyal
spiels are merely smoke. Oh, boys,
most any tin-horn skate can work his
jawboues and crate; most any hick
car chew the rag and say nice things
about the flag; but when we come
right down to tacks, the patriot who's
smooth as wax is he who comes, an
ardent soul, for Liberty bonds to blow
his roll.

Had Enough at Home.

The other day plans were being

Evansville for the adoption of a
French orphan. In each room the pu-
pills were asked to give their ideas Of
the proposition and everywhere the

In room where the tlniest pupils sat

years in all parts of the United

BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Uncle Sans Bank Is the Safest
in Entire World.
You Could Not Place Your Money to
Better Advantage, at Same Time
Helping the Greatest Cause
of Humanity.
ley RoorH rARKINeroN.l

When we intruSt our savings to
bank, we like to know that It's a sound
bank. We feel safe then to leave our
money in charge of that bank and Its
officers. They will use it In various
ways which seem good to them, but we
will get 1t all back, If the bank Is
sound. Yet no bank in the United
States of America can be as sound al
the United States itself. Therefore,
when the United States government
turns banker, the safest place for our
money to be put Is in the hands Of
this government Anybody can see
that, without bothering to look twice.
Uncle Sam himself will take care Of
our money, and we'll get 1t back. We
know that. His word Is so good that
we can get the money back whenever
we need it, because his bonds will sell,
any time, for just about what we pay
for them. A few years hence, of
course, they will sell for more than We
pay for them.
During the time that we leave our

the Liberty Loan-he pays us interest.
Well, I've had higher per cent than
he pays-nOt for a loan, because
had to pay taxes that reduced the per
cent to 3H-but on investments. Once
l made an investment that paid 10
per cent, but 1t only paid 1t once, and
then the fellow who talked me into
It left town without telling anybody
good-by. I've found, since then, that
l can't get much better than Uncle
Sans rate In the long run. When
think can, usually the factory has to
have new boilers, after my first divi-
dend comes in, or the ore isn't quite
the quality we had reason to expect"
and I begin the long squirm to get
out with something reasonably near
what put in. No; nowadays l think
the government rate is about all I'm
going to get from any investment
which place with regard to the In
vestment's margin of safety. There
fore get all l can Of Uncle Sans
Liberty bonds because they are to-
day, of all the possible investments
in the whole world, absolutely the
safest. Nobody except Uncle Sam will
or can give us his rate and the same
absolute certainty that we'll get our
interest paid promptly and the princi-
pal when 1t is due.
That's the selfish side Of it; we can't
do better with the money for our self
lsh selves. The other side Of 1t is that
Uncle Sam uses the money for our own
boys in France and our boys on the
seas-Our boys whose hard and ter.
rible daily work is done so gayly; and
death always with them-dropping
from the air above them, ready to
strike up at them from the ground, or
from the water beneath them. They
bear this for us, that our ideal Of free
dom may not be lost forever and that
we shall not become the Prussian's
servant A good interest rate and
safety for the money, and safety for
our ideals, and for our liberty-that's
what we get when we invest in the
Liberty loan!

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR THE KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t IL physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test Of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has 30 many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Red-blooded men of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes ''pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverlsh condition in the
sprlngtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers of good al
terative and blood purifier. Such one
is extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use of alcohol. This can be OBJ
tanned in ready-to-use tablet form In
sixty-cept Walls, as druggists have sold
1t for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t Is
standard remedy that can be obtained
In tablet or liquid form.

a week even by persons who have a
movement daily, In order to eliminate
matter which may remain and cause

ing the whole system. To clean the
system at least once week Is to prac-
tice health measures. There is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pills
made up Of the May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap, and sold by almost
all druggists in this country as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated.

pictures of our wounded at the hos

know now that Americans are fighting

ever before, and more eager, to con-

BEGIN BATTLE NOW
This Is the Month to Wage War
Against Disease Carrying
Fly in the House.
In the interests Of Public Health
Every One Must "Do His Bit"-
Destroy the Few That May
Already Have Begun
to Annoy.

This is the month for the housewife
to wage battle against the most deadly
of all enemies Of health and sanitation,
the housefy.
This is the breeding time for the
fly, and for every one killed now, there
Will be over million less In the sum.
mer.
So many women are careless about
flies.
They watch these dangerous pests
walking over cake and bread or hov-
ering about the sugar, without any
apparent anxiety.
They allow them to buzz about the
table without making any move to kill
them.
Wllful Neglect.
How can they be so careless when
so much has been printed every year
about the real dangers connected with
the fly?
1t cannot be ignorance that makes
them so negligent about killing off
tneSe QlSeaSe carriers.
No woman who reads the newspa-
pers can plead ignorance as an excuse
for such criminal negligence.
There is only one reason why any
woman can sit still and let the flies,
which they know carry thousands of
germs, walk all over the food, and
that reason is wilful neglect.
You, who wish to protect your fam
lilies from all possible Illness must
carry on an unremitting fight against
the fly and now is the time to begin.
You may not think 1t worth while
to bestir yourself for the few speci-
mems you see about the house now.
But try to realize that each separ-
ate one Of the half dozen or dozen
flies you see buzzing around now is
the probable broader of million other
flies.
Later on in July and August, when
the house is full Of these pests, you
