If You Have
The Flu"
Take care of yourself.

Take care of yourself
Call physician at once.
Go to bed II he says SO and don't
get up until he says so. A Chicago
physician who has treated 1000 cases,
says that practically every death he
has observed can be traced directly
to the patient getting up or going
about his work too soon.
Not only take care of yourself, but
take care of your family and friends.
You caught the "fiu" from friend.
Don't try to give it to some other
friend.
Don't let friends visit your sick
room
Don't go down town while you have
fever or are coughing.
Speaking personally. We would
rather have man come into The Rec
ord office with fully-developed case
OF smallpox than with light case of
the "fiu.' It is the light cases that
are dangerous, for the bad cases are
at home in bed

Need of knowledge
of Home Nursing

Every woman should know that

feet cleanliness and order are the arst
requirements OF the trained nurse.
She should know how to make COM
Portable bed and be able 20 change
linen without exposure or discomfort
to the patient She should know hnw
10 give the rest aud comfort that coulc
to a patient WITH q bath skliifully

"A liquid diet does not necessarily

should be able to prepare pleasing

The Red Gross has recently given

OF training in the essentials of home
nursing. and women who have svaiied
themselves OF this opportunity have

NUMBER a
Early Harvest Indicate
Excellent Crop Returns
Rain Has Delayed Harvest which Be.
gan Last Week. Crop Good
and Wheat 10 Promising

Showers Saturday evening and
Sunday afternoon, and heavy rain
Tuesday night and yesterday morn.
ing has delayed harvesting of rye,
barley and early sown wheat which
began in this section last week.
The rain has been great bless
ing and will help materially to fill
out late wheat which was i'm a criti-
ical stage. The flax, corn, potatoes
and other crops have also been
benefited by the recent rains, and
altogether the crop prospects
throughout the whole reservation
opntry are excellent.
The rye harvest which started
last week, indicates much better
crop than estimated in May and
June. In Sioux county, particularly,
there will be better than an average
crop. While fields are spotted in
places the cvol weather is beneficial
and the danger from hot winds is
practically past.
According the best reports the
Pioneer can obtain on the crop
situation in Sioux county, there
are magnificent stands in many
places, while nowhere will the re-
turns be less than half or two-thirds
of normal crop.
All grain now in the milk stage
is practically made, and flax prom
ises to be the best crop for years.
Corn is doing fine, the hot
weather the past three weeks having
forged it ahead from slow start.
There is a fine stand of hay all
through this part of the country.
With the large increased acreage
under cultivation and diversity of
crops the farmers are very optimis-
tic over the outlook.
