THE COMING ELECTION.

To sum up, the indications are for a
Republican gain in the Senate; an impair
tial estimate is that the Democratic ma
iority of eight will disappear and the
parties stand even. The Democrats, and
especially President Wilson, expect the
next Senate to be close-that is the rea-
son why the President is so determined
that no Democrats merely, but thick-and-
thin Wilson Democrats, shall be elected.
If the extraordinary war powers of the
executive are to be extended into peace
times, hand-picked Senators will be of
immeasurable value to him. The same
conditions that will affect the Senatorial
elections indicate that the House will be
Republican by small majority.
1t is obvious that the results of vote
of Is, OOO, 600 in nation where so many
cross-currents play cannot be predicted
with minute accuracy. But certain in
fluences are palpable. The nominations
thus far made, analysis of the primary
votes of the two parties, the rejection at
the primaries of several Representatives

feeling that the nation will pay heavily

SPANISH
INFLUENZA
RACES IN US.
Thousands of Cases Reported
With Many Deaths.
Those WHO ARE MOST
SUSCEPTIBLE TO IT
A-TIVES"-The Wonderful
Fruit Medicine-Greatly Helps
To Resist This Disease.

The epidemic of Spanish Influenza
which played such havoc in Europe,
has reached this continent. Thou
sands of cases of the strange malady
have appeared and many deaths are
already reported; Surgeon-General
Blue of the United States Public
Health Service having stated that
''Spanish Influenza will probably
spread all over the country in
six weeks''.
Practically every ship which
touches our shores from abroad,
brings those infected with the
disease.
Surgeon-General Blue urges that
''the individual take all the precau-
tons he can against contracting
the disease by care and personal
hygiene''. Plenty of exercise should
be taken; the dietshould CIRCULATED,
etc.
Spanish Influenza affects most
severely elderly persons and others
whose powers of resistance are
weakened by illness, work or worry,
especially those who are rundown"
or "not feeling up to the mark"
The really great danger from the
disease is not SO much in the disease
itself, as that it often develops into
pneumonia.
What everyone needs now is q
general tonic like 'Fruit-a-tives"
This wonderful fruit medicine is not
a germ-killer. 1t is a body-builder;
a strength-maker; a blood-purifer;
a power in protecting against the
ravages of disease.
"Fruit a tives" regulates the
kidneys and bowels, causing these
organs to eliminate waste regularly
and naturally as nature intended
"Fruit-a-tives' keeps the skin active,
and purifes and enriches the blood.
"Fruit a tives'' tones up and
strengthens the organs of digestion,
insuring food being properly digested
and assimilated.
Everyone can take ordinary pre-
cautions, avoid crowded places, and
use "Fruit a tives" regularly to
insure sound digestion, to keep the
bowels and kidneys regular and the
whole system in the best possible
condition. Then we are safe from
disease.
''Fruit-a-tives" is sold by dealers
everywhere at SOC box, for s. so,
trial size 25c or sent postpaid on
receipt of price by FRUIT-A-TIVES
