DAIRYMEN RAISE
PRICE OF milk

The price of retail milk was raised
by dairymen of the city at a meeting
held at the court house Thursday eve
ming. Milk will be sold for 7 cents a
pint, Is cents quart, cream for 10
cents half pint and whipping cream
at 20 cents a half pint
State food administrator Barnard in
letter to the dairymen, gave his
consent to this increase in price, stat
ing that an increase would induce the
farmers to produce more milk. AL
though county food administrator Gill
bert was unable to be at the meeting,
he gave his approval to the raise sug-
gested by the dairymen.
This raise will go into effect Sat
urday morning. The dairymen say
that they are forced to pay farmers
more money in order to get the milk
for few farmers give attention to
raising milk; the different articles
used by the dairymen, such as bottle
caps and bottles, have raised in price,
the men stated, and labor is scarce and
larger salaries are demanded by men
working for the dairymen.

coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds - common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc.
Keep up your bodily strength by plen-
ty of exercise in the open air, and
good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold For a head cold, melt
a little VapoRub in a spoon and in
hale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle.
II this is not available, use. an ordin-
airy teakettle. Fill half full of boiling
water, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo-
Rub from time to time-keep the ket-
tie just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
NOTE-Vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery of North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve
is applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberia ted in the form of
vapors. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. While COM
paratively new in certain parts of the
North, it is the standard home remedy
in the South and West for all forms
of cold troubles-over six million
jars We're sold last year VapoRub is
particularly recommended for chill
dren's Group or colds, as it is exter-
nally applied and can, therefore, be
used freely and often without the
slightest harmful effects-Adv.

CONSUMERS URGED
TO GET IN COAL

The domestic coal problem of Indi-
ana will be solved If twenty per cent.
more Of the households will at once
get in their winters supply. The
United States Fuel Administration for
Indiana insists that it is necessary, II
the state is to go into the winter feel
ing secure, to increase the household
storage during the next thirty days.
Every effort is being made to pre-
vent the possibility of the forced close
down of industrial plants during the
extreme weather of the winter. The
fuel administration points to the fact
that industrial storage at this time Is
pretty much limited to plants having
war contracts and to public utilities.
The so-called non-essential factories
are now dependent and will be de-
pendent during the winter on the cur
rent mine production and if the house
hold demands of the state are so
heavy that they make serious inroads
on the current production, Industrial
plants will have to suffer and as re-
suit of their closing down or cutting
down operations working people will
feel the effects in their pay envelopes.
There has been a greater stOrag OF
fore, but the fuel authorities insist
that it lacks somewhat of being
enough to remove all anxiety from the
situation. Consequently those who
have failed to buy coal should get
busy at once and see to it that they
are protected against their winter de-
mands.
The fuel administration does not
deny that the anthracite situation is
most unsatisfactory and uncertain. 1t
is advising every one who can posi-
bly, do so, to protect themselves with
bituminous coal or wood because 1t
cannot, at this time, give positive as
surance that anthracite coal will be
had in any community. 1t is doing it's
utmost to accelerate shipments from
the anthracite fields but results, thus
far, do not justify any one in holding
back in the hope of obtaining their
full requirements of anthracite.
Play safe and buy your bituminous
coal or wood now, is the reply the
fuel administration is making to all
inquiries regarding the winter pros
poets,

The Field of Honor

Commenting on the deaths of soldiers from
influenza the Indianapolis News says editorially
Ali the heroes of this great war are not on
the fighting line in France In the military
camps throughout the country the epidemic of
influenza has taken the lives of hundreds of our
soldiers. These boys left their homes with the
great desire in their hearts to "arrive safely in
France" to be able to help avenge some Of the
atrocious deeds of the Huns. Patiently they have
trained to prepare themselves for advancement,
giving their most loyal devotion to their flag and
their country. Those stricken with disease do
not get the credit of dying the battlefield, yet
they have made hard fight and great sacrifices,
and while they did not die on the battlefields,
they died on the field of honor. They gave their
lives for their country with just the same spirit
of loyalty and faith; they were in the service of
their country.
If soldier is to die he wants to die in action,
but in the great accounting it is all the same they
all go on the Roll of Honor with an equal share
in the glory. The soldiers who died in training
camps enlisted for service not knowing what
their lot was to be- Their work was finished be-
fore they reached the active battlefield, but the
field of honor is wherever mans heart is true,
wherever he has done his best, and these boys
who have died in the training camps have done
the best that it was in their power to do. Their
country acknowledges and appreciates their faith
and loyalty.
When a soldier is ordered to the battle front,
his very soul is stirred with the significance of
what he is about to do The thrill of battle, the
grim determination for revenge completely over
shadows any thought of what might be; but the
soldier who lies day after day his cot, knowing
that the glory of the battlefield is his only in
thought, then it is that he fights the greatest
battle with his SOUL The disappointment to him
is bitter. His name with the names of the slain
will be on Americas great honor roll as having
given the best he had to his country.

Wilson's Plea for Democratic Congress

President Wilson's appeal for return of a
Democratic congress as proof that the American
people approve of his administration strikes a
discordant note in his politics is adjourned"
program and generally will be resented by the
American people as an intrusion on their right
to elect whomsoever they please to the national
legislature.
It will take long stretch Of the imagination
to believe the presidents assertion that a return
of Republican majority would be certainly in
terpreted on the other side of the water as re-
pudiation of my leadership" and especially so
since the Republican senators and representatives
have supported every war measure he has asked
to be enacted into law.
There is only one test that need be applied to
a Democrat or Republican nominee-did he
support the war program heart and soul? If
the answer is yes, there is no reason why he
should not be returned or elected The test of
loyalty will influence the voters, and not the
presidents appeal.
President Wilson has lowered the bars for
partisanship strife and contention by his appeal.
If politics henceforth plays a deciding role in
congressional decisions, the president has no one
but himself to blame for the situation which he
created in todays appeal His action will react
against his party, and will cause men to
hesitate before they entrust more power to the
Democratic party

THE WAY TO use VAPORUB
FOR SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack the Lining of the Air Passages
When VapoRub is Applied Over the Throat Chest
Medcated Vapors Inhaled Loosen the Phegm, Open
Air Passages and Stimulate the Mucous Membrane to
Throw Off the Germs.

Most authorities now agree that
what we call Spanish Influenza is
simply the old-fashioned grip, which
was epidemic here in 1SS9-90. The
influenza germs enter through the
nose and mouth and attack the lin
ing of the air passages-nose throat
and bronchial tubes.
There is no cure or specific for
this disease, but Nature will throw
off the attack, if only you conserve
your strength. A competent physi-
clan should always be called. The
use of VapoRub does not interfere
with any internal treatment and it is
now being used by broadminded ply
sicians everywhere, in order to stimu-
late the lining of the air passages to
throw off the grip germs, to aid in
loosening the phlegm and keeping the
air passages open, thus making the
breathing easier. Hot, wet towels
should be applied over the throat,
chest and back between the shoulder
blades to open the pores. Then Vapo-
Rub should be rubbed in over the parts
until the skin is red, spread on thick
ly and covered with two thicknesses
of hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth
ing loose around the neck, as the heat
of the body liberates the ingredients
in the form of vapors. These vapors,
inhaled with each breath, carry the
medication directly to the parts af
fected. At the same time, VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates
the skin, attracting the blood to the
surface, and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this
is germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
