What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
ut is very important that every per-
| son ewho becomes sick with influenza
should go home at once and go to bed.
This will, help keep away dangerous
complications and will. at the same
time, keep the patient from scattering
the disease far and wide. 1t is highly
desirable that no one be allowed %
sleep in the same room with the pa
tient. In fact, no one but the nurse
should be allowed in the room.
"If there is cough and sputum OF
running of the eyes and nose, care
should be taken that all such dis
charges are collected on bits of gauZe
or rag or paper napkins and burned.
If the patient complains of fever and
headache, he should be given water to
drink, a cold compress TO the forehead
and q light sponge. Only such medi-
cine should be given as is prescribed
by the doctor 1t is foolish to ask the
druggist to prescribe and may be dam
gerOus to take the sO-called safe, sure
and harmless remedies advertised by
patent medicine manufacturers.
"If the patient is so situated that he
can be attended only by some one who
must also look after others in the FAM
lily, it is advisable that such attendant
wear wrapper, apron or gown over
the ordinary house clothes while in the
sick room and slip this off when leav-
ing to look after the others.
Nurses and attendants Will do well
to guard against breathing in danger
Gus disease germs by wearing a simple
fold of gauze or mask while near the
patient"
Will person who has had influenza
before catch the disease again?
at is well known that an attack Of
measles Or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other attack of the same disease. This
appears not to be true OF Spanish in
fiuenza.' According to newspaper re-
ports the King of Spain suffered an
attack of influenza during the cpl
demic thirty years ago, and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak in
SPAIN"
How can one guard against infiu.
enza2
''In guarding against disease Of all
kinds, it is important that the body be
kept strong and able to fight off dis
ease germs. This can be done by hav-
ing proper proportion of work, play
and rest, by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole
some and properly selected food. In
connection with diet, it is we'll to re-
member that milk Is one of the best
all-around foods obtainable for adults
as well as children. So far as dis
ease like influenza is concerned, health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between its spread
and overcrowded homes. While it Is
not always possible, especially in
times like the present, to avoid such
overcrowding, people should consider
tie health danger and make every
effort to reduce the home overcrowd-
ing to a minimum. The value of fresh
air through open windows cannot be
over emphasized.
when crOwding is unavoidable, as
In street cars, care should be taken to
keep the face SO turned as not to in

T7his is one time that amost anything you buy
49,. will prove to be good investment if you
keep it a short time. Everything looks high
now compared with prices of year ago. ana
nr;ces of wear ago seemed high compared with
the preceding wear. In year from now prices
will be 50 much hi CHER than they now that you
will look back and consider that the present pric
es are very low It's not the actual price OF Things
that makes them seem high or low, but comparl-
It is no guessing with us when we make these
statements in regard to future prices because we
. are not making any prophesy but statement OF
facts: which we have learned by trying to buy
goods for next fall delivery; and by reading opn
ions of some of the best business men IN the
country. Goods are going to be high and besides
that, scarce. ......s
Deliveries will be slow and judging from to-
dav. freight service will be great proposition.
Our Government must be served first Our SOL
diers must not suffer.
A great many of our largest factories are now
making products solely for the government
Naturally the railroads will haul government
supplies in preference to everything else.
It is right that it should be Cotton goods,
wool goods and everything else is in great de-
mand, besides the question of labor.
There is lots of money in the country and in
the banks. ,....
You cannot buy up food stuffs to hold Uncle
Sam says so, but there's nothing to keep you
from buying all the dry goods you want or any
thing else for your family's future needs in the
line of wearing apparel or household linens, etc
Anything you buy now for your future needs
will prove to be a great bargain little later.
If you buy from or from someone else
you will save money, but buy now. It's not gamb-
ling but simply tying up little money for few
months that will pay you big returns.
Our three stores crammed with good
clean merchandise most of which was bought
months ago. Dry Goods, Hosiery, Shoes, Cloth
ing, Hardware; anything you wish.
Come in and let us show you through our three
stores. A look will be we'll worth your time and
it will be our pleasure.

FAMILY
TO SELL HAWARDEN

London, Jan.-The sons Of Viii
liam E. Gladstone announce that a
large part of the famous HaWarden
estate is to be sold at once because
high taxes have rendered it impossi-
bic to keep it intact and in the fam
lily as the elder Gladstone desired.
The estate is burdened with large
debt and the tenants will have the
opportunity, if they desire, to buy
the lands they are occupying.

COUNTY ,
CHAIN GANG REPORT
October 26, 1917.

Mr.. j. A. Schroeder, Foreman. Con-
victs present, II negro men,
of whom 2 are TRUSTEES.
Management and Equipment
The foreman of this chain gang has
made an effort to improve the con-
ditions which is reflected by the in
creased score we are able to give
this chain gang on this inspection.
Two Of the convicts in camp were
convalescing from typhoid fever.
The convicts and all the guards, we
are informed were given typhoid
vaccine after the illness of these
two convicts was diagnosed as ty-
phoid fever. The foreman has had
screened a section of his tent,
which he and the guards use as a
dining room. In addition, the kitch-
en- car has been screened. The fore
man has made, also, notable i'm
provement in the disposal of the
sewage from his camp. ., :
Recommendation to Supervisor and
Commissioners:
1. AS to "Convicts' Quarters. -
By next spring have the convicts'
"cage" screened. Discard the mat
tresses on which the convicts sleep
and substitute for them straw ticks
or cotton pads with canvas slip COW
ers. .@..r -.
2. As to "Kitchen."- by next
spring have the kitchen re-screened,
as the wire is wearing out in places,
and take care to make the kitchen
fiy-proof when the wire is put on
again. s
8. AS to DO not
use the box under the kitchen car
as place for storing food. 1t is
not sufficiently ventilated. Keep
the food supplies in the kitchen car.
4. AS to "Medical Attention.
Increase the medical service by re-
quiring the county physician to
make a physical examination of each
convict within 48 hours of his COM
mitment to the chain gang, by vac
cinating, all conviets against small
pox if indicated, by visiting all con-
victs every week. The county ply
sician should be adequately compen-
sated for doing this preventive work
among the convicts, and should be
required to do it in addition to
treating sick convicts. The prac-
tice of keeping sick convicts in camp
j is to be condemned. If possible,
sick convicts should be sent to one
of the hospitals at the State Peni-
tentiary. If this cannot be done,
then send them to the county jail
and keep them on the third floor in
the room near the head of the stairs
Adequate nursing attention should
be provided for them if they are
committed to Jail.
Recommendation to Foreman:
1. As to "Convicts' Quarters"
Have the 'cage" in which convicts
sleep kept cleaner. Have the blan-
kets used by the convicts washed
once month in winter as well as
in summer. .-...
i 2. AS to "Kitchen Equipment"
Have the kitchen and the equip
ment kept clean. -. $
i 8. AS to Disposal of Sewage" /"
Have the sewerage pit burned out
regularly once a week with straw
and oil. ~
j 4. AS to Disposal Of Manure" "
Have the manure piled daily in
one corner Of the mule pen. Haul
it away regularly once a week and
broadcast on a field at least half a
mile from camp.--Report Board of
Charities and Corrections, (1s17.)
