can be done only by those who
can independently get into con
tcat with the facts, ideas, and
ideals that the printed page con
yeys, thus laying the foundation
for independent thinking.
A bill now pending before
congress provides for $500, 900
annually, to be "apportioned to
the states in the proportion
which their respective illiterate
populations Of ten years old and
over (not including foreign born
illiterates) bear to the total
illiterate population of the
United States, not including out
lying possessions, according to
the last preceding census of the
United States. There were
3,762,003 illitrates in the United
States, in 1910, that are within
the terms Of the bill. The allot-
ment by congress would there
fore amount to $1.90 for each
illiterate ten years old or over.
This amount, to be available for
the removal Of illiteracy, would
have to be equaled by a sum ap-
propriated by the state.
Oklahoma had, in 1910, 81, ,427
illiterates. The congressional AL
lotment would be $102, ,545.44 an
nually This would have to be
equaled by the state, and there
would then be available $205,-
O90.88 each year, or almost $4.00
for each illiterate.
If the state should start a ten
year program for the removal
of illiteracy, and if if should
each year teach one-tenth of it's
illiterates, there would be avail
able $40 to teach each illiterate
to read and write.

SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DR.. Lee Fl. Smith

BY DR.. Lee Fl. Smith
An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight a German or germ,
we must put up good fight and not be
afraid. The influenza runs a very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
nd throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, clean skin
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of
iaIap, and called DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after a
hot mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain.
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Arnuic tab
lets were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid
1t is important that broths. milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be
given regularly to strengthen the sys-
TEN and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of
the Arnuic tablets, but in addition,
the forehead, arms and hands may be
bathed with water (tepid) in which a
tablespoonful of salaratus has been
dissolved in a quart. After an attack
of grip or pneumania to build up and
strengthen the system, obtain at the
drug store a good iron tonic, called
"Irontic" Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic, Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery.

This may have been a common sight

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28:-"If we
put ourselves down to winning the
peace by drives as we have to win
ming the, war, the problems of labor
and industry in the after-the-war
period will be easily and instantly
settled" says Louis f. Post, assistant
secretary of labor.
Mr.. Post declares he does not anti
cipate n particular problems in the
readjustment period. I'VE changed
quickly from peace to war produc-
tion," he said. land it seems to me
that there should be no reason why
our factories and our workmen
should not be able to change back
from the war basis to the peace basis
as quickly. making due allowance for
such lack of raw materials as may
exist due to seasonal conditions. But,
given the raw materials, plants which
were manufacturing articles for
peace trade before the war should be
able to reassemble their machinery
and change their processes back to
the basis of peace production without
so much confusion and delay as many
people anticipate"
There is bound to be certain shift
ing of labor from plants at present
solely designed for war work back to
plants that were the big producers in
peace times, Mr.. Post believes; but
he regards the Employment Service
Of the Department Of Labor as a suit
able agency for handling the prob
lens that might arise from such
shifting and believes that it will be
able to provide workers with jobs as
well as to provide workmen for en-
