SAFETY FIRST.

The "flu' epidemic has cost this
nation more than 100000 souls and
this number is being greatly in
creased daily by the further spread
ing of the most dreadful disease.
The rearing up of the brazen ser
pent in the wilderness to cure the
diseased Israelites was laughed and
mocked at with scorn and even re-
fused to be looked upon by those
whose pride was far above common
reasoning. but it was true neverthe-
less. Now in the case of the great
"Flu" remedy, now being manufac-
tured by a secret process known
only by me, great good is being
done to our colored and white citi-
zens of Chickasha, Lawton and El
Reno, Okla The analysis Of my
medicine as sown at 0. G. w
showed that it contained no harmful
agents.
This is not pneumonia remedy
but "A Knockout for the FLU" in it's
early stages and serves as a pre-
yentive if taken two or three times
per day If you delay until you have
the pneumonia before you take this
medicine fear you have waited too
long, although some have been re-
lieved from the latter stage. 1t is
not the color of my skin that should
interest you, but rather take in con
sileraticu the thought as to whether
you have been cured and secure a
bottle for your use, in order to reach
the same end.
In addition to the above uses il
is knockout for those dreadful
headaches, ana is unexecelled for in.

SUGAR SHOWED

American Willingness to Give Up

STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People OF
the United States AVerted
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States we're able to reduce by
more than one-hnlf million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption OF sugar proves cohclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctiOns Of the Government,
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-mopth period beginning with
July has Oeen 100000 tons per month,
total OF 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach It's height consumption
was reduced TO 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tuhution and In September only 219-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons
/. II the general public had failed to
observe the iniunclions Of the Food
Administrations his country would
have been in the throes Of u sugar
famine before the end OF August. our
/ NISlDle SullnIlfS were so low rs ~ uilllS
great anxiety TO those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
! ury in the American diet
Few accomplishments Of the Food
ADMINISTRATION will stand forth so pre-
/ dOmnantly as this reduced consump
| tion Of sugar. by it we have been able
1 to bridge over the period OF stringencA
! until the new beet and Louisiana canC
sugar crops w4re in sight
Now the nation is in position 50
I that il we choose we may return to
our normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships TO 90
! far afield, can maintain its recent re-
| strIcted rationS. If, however, those
nations are to Increase their use OF
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events It
Is Interesting tesiecall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrators viewed the gloomy out
look in July OF 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months ana the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer TO Paris.
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge OF the
results already obtained in every di-
rection need have one atom Of fear
that democracy will not defend itself

Closing Date for
Seed Grain Loans

All applications for Federal seed
grain loans on spring wheat for
1919 must be in the Federal Seed
Grain Loan office not later than
February 1, 1919. In order that
farmers may know well in ad-
vance of the seeding season
whether or not they are to obtain
aid from this source and that
the work of handling the applica-
tions may not be extended indefj-
nitely, this early announcement of
closing seems advisable. Farmers,
bankers, and county agents are
urged to act promptly SO that all
may be completed
within the specified time and a
rush at the last moment avoided.
