SPANISH influenza
IS EPIDEMIC HERE
Many cases Develop Into Deadly
Pnsumonia. Easier to Prevent
Than Cure. Hew to Avoid.

The constant daily increase Of Spanish
lnnuenza reported by local physicians
SHOWS clearly that many people are
railing to take the simple ordinary pre-
Gauuons necessary to avoid infection.
for while Influenza. after its develop
ment. is sometimes difficult to cure. 1t
10 an easily preventable disease.
The best plan Is to begin treatment
before the first symptom starts. For no
other disease will develop SO quickly or
today-be sick tomorrow ana lese a
week or more of work. You will indeed
be fortunate II pneumonia does not de-
velop.
The air today is full of Influenza
germs. Every breath you take is likely
to draw them into your nose and throat.
You can prevent the disease by killing
the germs before they spread through
out your body. There is probably no
safer or surer way to do this than to go
the famous Hyomei Inhaling Outfits
consisting of bottle of the pure Oil Of
Hyomei and little vest-pocket, hard
rubber inhaling device into which few
Just breathe this Oil of Hyomei deep
into your nose. throat and lungs and
every particle Of air that enters your
breathing organs will be charged with
an antiseptic, germ killing balsam that
will absolutely destroy the germs of In
You can't do this too often. No ordi-
nary night and morning gargling, or
throat spraying will be sufficient so long
as during the day you come in constant
contact with infection. The Hyomei
inhaler is small and can be conveniently
carried in a handbag or vestpocket.
Every half hour or so throughout the
day take it out and draw a few breaths
of it's pure healing air into your nose
and throat. By doing this you can pre-
vent infection and check the further
spread of the disease even though you
are coming in direct contact with it.
This is an inexpensive treatment as the
Inhaler will last a lifetime and further
supplies of the Oil of Hyomei can be
had at any drug store for a few cents.
NOTE: Oil of Hyomel, so strongly
recommended above for the prevention
of Spanish Influenza Is not a new dis
covery but is the application of an old
and time-tried treatment to a new dis
ease. Hyomei has been a standard in
the treatment of catarrh and colds for
almost twenty years and Is sold by
druggists everywhere. Hundreds of
people in Augusta and vicinity keep a
Hyomei outfit with inhaler on the bath
room shelf for regular winter use. If
you have one get it out now and use it.
If you haven't one, go to the nearest
drug store and get one today. 1t is the
duty of every person, not only for his
own sake but for the community to do
all in his power to prevent further
spread Of this epidemic and to stamp it
out. Bowditch-W Webster Co., Augusta. =

TO TRAIN RURAL METH
'ODlST MINISTER'S TO
BE SCIENTIFIC FARMERS

New York, Oct. 24.--To help make
farming profitable and rural life en-
durable for the farmer. his wife, his
sons and daughters, the Methodist
Episcopal church has undertaken to
spend $5,500,000 in training rural
ministers to teach scientific farming
and develop social activity in coun-
try districts. The purpose as an
nounced by the Board of Home Mis-
sions and Church Extension is to
keep the farmers on the farms and
thus lClp to win the war.
Dissatisfaction with country life, it
is declared, has caused a decrease of
rural population in Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri, Vermont and New
Hampshire. The boys and girls will
not stay on the farm when high
wages are to be earned nearer the
moving picture theatres.
To combat this, the Methodist
ch1i CHI is planning to send many of
its best men to the country churches,
of which 1t has upward of 1900.
Rural pastors are to have special
training in agriculture SO as to help
farmers with advice. Demonstration
farms are to be established where
agricultural colleges do not meet the
needs.
Association Of rural ministers to
put these plans into effect already
have been started in Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Iowa, South Dakota, Pennsyl-
vania and Nebraska. Chairs of Rural
Sociology to teach how to be happy
though living on farm have been
established in theological seminaries
and PLANS are making to start similar
courses in colleges.
