TO AVOID SPANISH INFLUENZA


The surgeon general of the army
has issued the following instruc-
lions for avoiding Spanish in
fiuenza:
l. Avoid needless crowding-in-
fiuenza is a crowd disease.
2. Smother your coughs and
sneezes - others do not want the
germs which you would throw away.
/ 3. Your nose, not your mouth,
was made to breathe through. Get
the habit.
4. Remember the three "C'so -
a clean mouth, clean skin and clean
clothes.
5. Try to keep cool when you
walk and warm when you ride and
sleep.
6. Open the windows always at
home at night; at the Office when
practicable.
Z. Food will win the war if you
give it a chance-help by choosing
and chewing your food well.
s. Your fate may be in your own
hands-wash your hands before eat
ing.
8. Don't let the waste product Of
digestion accumulate-drink a glass
or two Of water on getting up.
10. Don't use a napkin, towel,
spoon, fork, glass or cup which has
been used by another person and
not washed.
IL. Avoid tight clothes, tight
shoes, tight gloves. Seek to make
nature your ally, not your prisoner.
IL. When the air is pure breathe
all of it yau can. Breathe deeply.

Of course it is possible that President
Wilson will veto the prohibition legis-

would be great stunt for the liquor

that Congress was not well enough ad-
vised to decide this great question.
However it is some distance from Madi-
son to Washington.

anything about speaking the German
language.

The Local Draft Board this morning
called these men to be modified on
next Tueday morning at eleven O'Clock
and they will leave next Tuesday eve
ming at $50 for Jefferson Barracks at
st. Louis where they will join the ra-
pidly increasing units of TIE army for
work other than in the front lines.
This will be the first quota of Limited
Service men to be sent to Jefferson
Barracks. All Of these men are from
the 1917 registration and it is ex-
pected that they will be trained to
take the places of many men who are
physically fit for army service. The
government is now calling fighting
men to the lines from clerical positions
and the positions left vacant by the
calling of these men are to be. later
filed from the ranks Of limited serv-
ice men who are being trained in the
environments and camps.
Many of the men called by the local
board today have been persistent in
seeking service in regular units of the
army but they were unable to pass the
physical examinations for general army
service. A number of the limited serv-
ice men sent from Kenosha to various
army environments in the nation have
been returned and it is expected that
the local board will be expected to
send other men to take the places of
these men. If such calls are received
the men who have been drawn as alter
mates will be promptly called.
Not single entrainment of men is
provided for this week. Following the
sending of the limited service men to
Jefferson Barracks the members of both
the city and county boards will COM
plete the work for sending large
quotas to Camp Custer on October It'll
At that time it is expected that 127
men will be entrained from the coun-
ty Although the city did not find
enough men waiting to make up the
call for 103 men, names are being adj
ded to the list every day and il. is
expected that before the date set for
the entrainment the city board will
be able to meet the full demand made
upon it.

CORN WILL WIN

Americas Greatest Cereal. Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAIMSTkY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.
MAINSTkY IN NATIONS CRISIS.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 1900 100000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when com
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and ut Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
today there are approximately 80
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity Is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American cOlonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as u
staple food during the War of the Rev.
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use In the making of ordinary white
bread Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
| 20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
| -four to make leavened bread. This
| kind of a mixture is worked and baked
| in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
| ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound O
wheat saved in America means pOunt
of wheat released for shipment to tn,
nations with which America is associ
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn product.
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cake.
and for use in the kitchen instead o
graduated sugar Is one Of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn OIL excellent for frying and 70
every other purpose filled by salad oils
Is appearing on the market in larg
quantities. 1t comes from the germ o
the corn.

HEAVY TOLL TAKEN
BY USELESS WEEDS
OF Great Importance to Corn
Crop to Kill Noxious Plants
and Conserve Moisture.

Why do you cultivate corn? There
are number Of reasons but, perhaps
paramount among all OF them, is this
one-to kill weeds. And why kill
weeds? To conserve the moisture in
the soil which heavy crop of weeds
would normally remove-and thus in
crease the corn yield. While 1t Is Of
recognized importance to save mois-
ture by forming dust mulch when
cultivating, 1t is equally as important
to kill the weeds, to hold the mOis-
ture in the soil.
The heavy toll which weeds take
from the yield of the corn crop has
been shown in experiments at the Uni
versity of Illinois.
Plots at the university, that were
well prepared for corn, but in which
the weeds were allowed to grow, pro-
duced only 7.3 bushels per acre as an
eight-year average, while plots just by
the side with the ground prepared and
the corn planted in the same way, but
the weeds kept down by scraping with
hoe, produced 45.9 bushels, or an
increase of 1856 bushels of corn per
acre.
Experiments further show that for
the dry seasons 1911, 1913 and 1914
the uncultivated plots (weeds kept
down by scraping with hoe) produced
an average of ALB bushels, while the
cultivated ones produced 1913 bushels
or difference of nine bushels in
favor of no cultivation. This cult.
walton was done with three-shovel
cultivator to Il depth Of about three
inches, or the usual depth with a cul'
tivator of this kind.

cording to an official statement re-

blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize

The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to

has the power of destruction that lies

"Stories without even vestige of

FIRST WEBSTER CITY
BOY KlLLED IN FRANCE
First EXCLUSIVE american Raid, Made
In Lorraine Sector, Is Successful
BY FRED S. FERGEsON.

BY FRED S. FERGESON. -.
With the American Army. in
France, March 11.-Troops hold.
ing the American sector north Of
Toul in the LoF Fraine made a sur.
prise raid against the Bosche
carly today. I his is the first ex.
elusive American raid without
French participation. The Ameri.
caD raiders went over the top
after only forty.five minutes
artillery preparation. They
penetrated German trenches and
returned safely. No prisoners
were taken as the trenches and
dugouts were demolished and
the Huns had withdrawn to the
rear.
Artillery fire began at $3.50
o'clock this morning and con.
centrated fire an the German big
guns and batteries in the rear,
the lighter pietes sweeping the
trenches and smashing the dug
outs. Under the cover Of the ar.
tillery, the German wires were
blown up BY the American en-.
gineers, after which the infantry
went over the top. The raid
was entirely successful. as was
the bombing esaedition Of a week
ago.
While the infantry made the
trip across "nO.man's land" they
were practically free Of enemy
shells.
