 Quantity restrictions have also been removed but hoard ing is still a violation and we urge, as a patriotic duty, that only reasonable amount of flour be sold to any one cus- toner.

HOW TO FIGHT SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DIR. L. ". BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards, but fear neither germs nor Germans Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to take vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi- ously of hot lemonade. Ifpain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears in most treacherous way, when the influ- enza victim is apparently recovering and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from bad attack of influenza or pneu. monia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as pr. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery, made without alcohol from the roots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic (iron tonic) tablets, which can be ob- tained at most drug stores, or send lOc. to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N, Y., for trial package.

This IS Serious Blow
 To Possum Family

Fayetteville, Nov. 25.-A light of apprehension burns nervously in the eye of every 'possum in Arkansas. He has cause to worry, for the per simmonless day is at hand for him. Hitherto despised and neglected, the persimmon at last has come into it's own. Experiments conducted by the young women in the depart ment of economies, University of Arkansas, have shown that innumerable delicacies may be prepared with this common fruit. The young women are learning how to use persim- mons instead of dates and figs in persimmon whip, preserves, pudding, and pie.
 Here is a recipe in which persimmons are utilized as sandwich filling: Run a cup of soaked dried persimmons through the food chopper, add one-fourth of a cup of corn sy- rup, and simmer until thick mass is the result. Add cup of any kind of chopped nut meats. Variety in flavor may be secured by the addition of the juice of half a lemon.
