HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DR.. Lee II. Smith

by Ut. Lee IL. Olllln
An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or germ,
We must put up a good fight and not be
afraid The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
ifw keep the system in good condition
and 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 pleasant laxative
should be taken Such a one is made
Of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root Of
jalap, and called DR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after
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 quart After an attack
of grip or pneumania to build up and
strengthen the system, obtain at the
drug store good iron tonic, called
"Irontic7 Tablets, or that wei known
herbal tonic, DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery.

the destruction it has wrou-
ght, might be called the Ger

All these drawbacks are
responsible for this sale.

NEW RULING IS
 MADE CHANGING
 ALASKA STATUS

WASHINGTON, Feb. ,. - Com missioner Tallman, of the General Land Office, Department of the Inter- for, has sent the following letter to registers and receivers and to the surveyor general in Alaska:
 Amended by Secretary
 You are advised that on December "a, 1917, the Secretary of the mterio, amended section G, page l7, of the Alaska townsite regulations, circular 491, approved July l9, 1916 (45 l.. D. 227), so as to read in full as follows:
 Indian or native Alaskan occu- pants who have secured certificates of citizenship under the territorial laws of Alaska shall be treated in all respects like white citizen occupants; but all land occupied by other h. dians or Alaskan natives shall not be assessed or conveyed by the trustee. In making the Subdivisional survey herein required, the surveyor will set apart the possessions occupied oy the Indians who are not citizens and ap- propriately designate them as such upon the triplicate plats of his srr- veys, but he will not extend any street or alley upon or across such posses sionS."
 In connection herewith, attention Is called to territorial act of April 27 1915 (Chap. 24, Session Laws ot Alaska, 1915, D. 52), providing a method whereby native Indians of Alaska may definitely establish the tact Of theil citizenship under section :. act of February $. 1SS7 ca Stat, 53S). A certificate of such citizen ship will therefore be required to en- able Indian or native Alaskan occu- pants" of lots in town sites to avail themselves of the privileges of such amended regulations.
