A NATION AT BAY
Sergeant Farnam's Thrilling Address
at the Armory

Clad in the picturesque costume OF
Ia Serbian cavalryman, somewhat
camoufaged, as the speaker said, and
with Red Cross medals and service
medals on her breast, Sergeant Ruth
Farnhum held an audience of nearly a
thousand people spellbound for tive
hours Friday night as she told of
Serbia's part in the war and how he1
brave people had suffered
The St. Bloomsbury Band played pa
triotic airs and Arthur G. Sprague:
the county chairman, gracefully pre-
scented the speaker. She began with
all historical sketch of the country
the part it played in holding the
Turks back from Rome in the 14th
century, and the tragic settlement Of
the last Balkan war; She explained
somewhat in detail how Austria and
Germany Matched the plot to kill the
Austrian crown prince and how both
nations were determined to crush
Servia.
She further stated that Servia's re-
sistance to the Austrian troops saved
the United States as it was Ger
n1any's deliberate plan to sweep down
through the Indian ocean and attack
the United States on the Pacific
coast.
The speaker told many interesting
hospital experiences, related some
horrible Bulgarian atrocities, and ir
closing told how she matched the
battle from the Macedonian heights
and was enlisted as a member of the
Serbian cavalry in the heat of the
battle.
Sergeant Farnam has delivered
this address to a million people in this
country and England and is doing
splendid work enlisting the sympathy
and aid of the Englishspeaking ma
tons for a people that have suffered
tremendously at the hands of the
Central powers. She is possessed of
charming personality and her adj
dress was continually interrupted by
applause.

Spanish Influenza
Rapidly Spreading

"
Victims Should Fortify
Yourself Against It by Taking
aTnlac.
According to lath reports IS
sued by State and Federal health
authorities the Spanish Influenza
epidemic is rapidly spreading to
all parts Of the country, and it
now seems that practically every
state in tn Union will be serious
~ affected before it runs its
course.
1t has not only become a great
and terrifying menace to the pub
lie health, but unless checked, it is
apt to seriously affect the progress
Of war work in all it's various de
partments. Already the Shipping
Board has announced that ten per
cent. Of its workers had been
affected.
| The disease has made it's great
est progress in the East where it
j has claimed it's victims by the
tn ousands. Reports from other
j sections, however, ire equally
alarming; and both civil and mil
itary authorities have warned the
public to take every precaution
/ to prevent it's further spread. IL
many cities schools, churches and
theatres have been closed and pub
lie gatherings Of all kinds forbid
den.
Medical authorities agree thae
people who are weak and run
down are the earliest victims Of
the Influenza epidemic. If you
are in a generally rundown con
dition, or if you catch cold sasily
this warning should be needed
promptly. You are really III
great danger, because the germ Of
this disease is very catching and
you are apt to fall an easy Wet m
/ if you come in contact with the
germs. People who are we'll and
strong are not likely to contract
the disease because they are able
to throw it off. The common
sense way to keep from taking it
is to fortify the system against
attack by building up the consti-
tuition.
In other words to use the old
adage, An ounce Of prevent on
is worth a pound Of cure And
if you are in a sub-normal condl
ton the proper thing to do is to
j begin Immediately n build up
your powers Of resistance. To ac-
compl;sh this, nothing on earth
| will strengthen you and build you
up like Tanlac, the powerful re
constructive tonic, which cintain>
, the very elements needed by the
system to give you fighting
strength and ward off the Influ
enza germ.
{ First of all Tanlac begins it,
action by creating a good healthy
appetite for wholesome, nourish
: ing food, and ass ists every organ
/ Of the body to perform it's natura
: functions thus helping to buil6
l up health and strength in the nat
+ 1ral way
Tanlac is also the ideal strength
ening tonic for persons who are
: suffering from the after ayects O.
/ troubles and hundreds Of thous
r ands are using it daily with the
: most gratifying results.
: In connection with the Tanla,
treatment, it is necessary to keef
the bowels open by taking Tanla,
e Laxative Tablets, samples O

NOME JUDGE HAS
 RELAPSE BUT IS
 f* AGAIN RECOVERING

 NOME Dec 2-Judge w. A. Holz- heimer who had a severe attack of influenza, suffered a relapse after hA\ had been out. and was forced to return to bed. He received the best of care, and is now assured quick recovery. It is believed that the climax of the influenza epidemic at Nome has been reached and is now passing. There have been thirty deaths among the white people and TO among the Natives.
 Reports from other places on Sew ard Peninsula are that the disease is raging, and there will be great loss of life. A large percentage of the Native population has been wiped out, and in places all have died. It is believed that there is no part of Seward Peninsula that will escape the dread disease.
