INFLUENZA
Do Not Fear When Fighting
a German or a Germ!
Nv DR NJ COOK
By DIR. M. COOK.

The cool fighter always wins and so
there is no need to become panic
stricken. Avoid fear and. crowds. Ex-
ercise in the fresh air and practice the
three c's: A Clean Mouth, a Clean
Skin ard Clean Bowels. To carry off
the poisons that accumulate within the
body and to ward off an attack Of the
Influenza bacillus, take a good liver
regulator to move the bowels. Such
one is made up Of May-apple, leaves Of
aloe, root Of jalap, and is to be had
at any drug store, and called Pleasant
Purgative Pellets"
If a bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap,
up well, drink freely Of hot lemonade.
and take a hot mustard foot-bath.
Have the bedroom warm but well ven
tilated. Obtain at the nearest drug
store "Anuric Tablets" to flush TT .
kidneys and control the pains and
aches. Take an "Anuric" tablet every
two hours, together with copious drinks
Of lemonade. II true case Of intlu-
enza, the food should'be simple, such as
broths, milk, buttermilk and ice-creaL,;
but it is important that food be given
regularly in order to keep up patients
strength and vitality. After the acute
attack has passed, which is generally.
from three to seven days, the system
should be built up by the use Of a good
iron tonic. such as "Irontic" tablets, to
be obtained at some drug stores, or
that well known blood-maker and
herbal tonic made from roots and barks
Of forest trees-sold everywhere as DR..

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at irst-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dam
aerine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is Advantageous hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drRg
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless observation-disclosures all--you
surely can have beautiful hair end lots
Of it if you will just try a little Dam
derine-Adv.

Bonds OF the fifth war loan. to- bel

Bonds or the firth war loan, TO be
offered probably in the spring, will be
of short maturity, Secretary McAdoo
announced This was interpreted as
meaning five years or less. The secre-
tary said it is impossible now to pre-
dict the size or time of flotation Of fut-
ure bond issues, necessary to cover the
remaining expenditures growing out Of
the war, but added that it is entirely
clear that the moment had come when
the interests of the government and
the country would be best served by
the issue of bonds of short maturities
and that that would be the policy of
the treasury"
Short term bonds, treasury officials
feel, would be bought more readily
than those OF longer maturity. Previ-
Gus Liberty bond issues range between
10 and 30 years.

PRESS COMMENT.
NOT HITCHCOCK.


The late William ]. Stone of Missouri
was chairman Of the committee on foreign
relations of the United States Senate,
having gained that position solely by
the rule Of seniority. The Senate had n
Democratic majority, and he, as the
Democratic committeeman of longest
service, became chairman as If by pres
cription. How unhappily that practice
worked in his case was confessed by HIM
long ago, when, opposed Ia ships armed
against submarines and finally To war. he
lntrusted the management ot resolutions

cock Of Nebraska, next in succession.
BY the same rule that carried Senator
Stone into place which he could not fill

That the practices Of the United States

seen in 1871 when Charles Sumner, a
much greater man than Gilbert NJ. Hitch
cock was removed from the chairmanshin
Of the committee on foreign relations
because he was hOpclcssly at odds with

Delaware Democrats who have kept in
touch with political matters in this
State, that Senator Salisbury viii be
renominated This being the case, it
is an error of Judgment on the part of
anv Democrat or Democratic newspaper
to mention names Of men who possibly
may be candidates.
Tnasmuch as Delaware Democrats have
almost unanimously agreed TO send Sena-
tor Salisbury back 10 the United States
Senate. further talk about candidates
for the Senatorial nomination will simply
cause trouble and dissatisfaction and is
bound to do the Democratic party more
harm than good at the election This

when that mans experience will make his
services of great value 10 the government

be no more talk of other candidates.
