Secretary Baker came back to WASH

ward expediting the movement Of Ameri-
can fighting men to Franco He ts not
inclined to underestimate the peril OF
more German successes IN the presens
fighting on the western front. but tnero
is no doubt that he believes the COM
binine Of all the allied forces under the
command Of Gen. Toch Will checkmate
the German efforts.
The prompt action Of Gen. Pershing

Visited Battle Fronts.
During his trip Mr.. Baker visited
England, France and Italy. and saw the
battle fronts all along the line. He
has been in the American front line
trenches under fire; once a German shell
exploded close to his automobile. and
on another occasion he stood IN the
window Of a battered building behind
missiles come bowling to tear great
craters in q field less than q hundred
yards. away.
No doubt was left in the visitors
minds Of the stimulus given French
spirit by the arrival of American fight
ing forces In France. Mr.. Baker was
given repeated proof Of the amazing
degree Of comradeship that has sprung
up between the American and French
soldiers and the Americans and the
civil population among whom they
move daily.
Differences of language have not
hindered this friendship in the least. In
trains or street cars. in barracks. in rest
rooms, Mr.. Baker saw for himself the
CHEEKY greetings and the complete un-
derstanding between them. Where the
tongue fails, sign language is quickly
devised. France has taken the Ameri-
cans to her heart and they are respond
inS in kind.
The whole vast project Of American
operations was mapped out before the
Secretary. It represents one of the
greatest undertakings any nation has
ever engaged in, and even to the man
under whose hands have passed all the
plans It was amaxing because Of Its
bigness and the thorough. workman
like way in which Con. Pershing and
his officers are doing their great Job.

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
(By DIR. Lee II. Smith)

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight German or germ,
we must put up good fight, and not
be afraid. The influenza runs a very
brief course when the patient is care
full, and if we keep the system in good
condition and throw off the poisons
which tend to accumulate within our
bodies, we can escape the disease. Re-
member 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 a pleasant laxative should be taken.
Such one is made of May-apple,
leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and call
ed DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Hot
lemonade should be used freely if at
tackled by cold, and the patient
should be put to bed after hot mus
tard 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 Anu
ric tablets 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,
buttermilk, ice cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the
system and increase the vital resis-
lance. The fever is diminished by the
use of the Anuric tablets, but in adj
dition, the forehead, arms and hands
may be bathed with water (tepid) in
which tablespoonful of salaratus has
been dissolved in quart. After an
attack of grip or pneumonia to build
up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store good iron tonic
called "Irontic" Tablets, or that well
well known herbal tonic, DR.. Pierce's
