Daily Thought.

In general, pride is at the bottom Of
all great mistakes.-Huslin.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1918-10-16
ESSENTIAL WORK IS
BECOMING DEFINED

Washington, d. C-The policy of
the War Industries Board, which has
been expressed in general terms ss
being to give preference to war work
and actual civilian needs, is being
rapidly translated into definite reg
ulations and directions for all kinds
of business and work
For months the heads of large
plants and factories have been COM
ing to Washington to learn where
they stood, how much material they
could get, how many men they could
hire, and other matters vitality af-
fecting their business. Curtailment,
especially of metals and fuels, also
of labor, has been the reply. Many
enterprises of great size have under
taken conversion of their plants in
to war industries. This has been
notably true of the automobile manu-
facturers.
Farms are in class by themselves
Their production is so essential for
both military and civilian purposes
that the restrictions laid upon farm
ers are of the fewest and lightest
possible. They may undertake new
construction on their farms without
seeking permits, where the cost does
not exceed $1,000, and may repair or
add to existing buildings to the
amount of $4,000.
Other exceptions from the general
rules laid down by the board are
Protects under, or connected with,
the army and navy, Shipping Board
and the industrial housing and trans
portation of the Department of La
Dor; Improvement of highways and
streets approved by the United States
Highway Council, roadways and
buildings connected with railroads
or with mines producing coal, metals,
and ferro-alloy metals.

HELP (!

HELP!
Under the most favorable circum-
stances, we are in for a large num-
Der of cases of, and deaths from,
Spanish Influenza" The situation
is serious, but it is not yet gloomy. 1t
is up to you and me to decide whether
we shall beat down the disease now,
or later be beaten down by it.
Everybody should know that influ-
enza has the possibilities of being a
fatal disease if it is neglected. And
yet if it is properly cared for the
chances of death from it can be great
ly reduced. TT is A MISTAKE FOR
ONE TO ATTEMPT TO FIGHT OFF
AN ATTACK AND THINK THAT HE
CAN FOOL THE GERMS BY IGNOR-
ING THEM. 1T IS AN EQUALLY
GREAT MISTAKE TO LIE DOWN
AND DIE OF FEAR THAT ONE IS
GOING TO DIE FROM INFLUENZA.
The ideal attitude is to be neither
foolishly nor cowardly.
The great danger of death lies in
the likelihood of pneumonia develop
ing. The pneumonia of this epidem-
ic is proving to be especially de;.dly.
From a physician who is in the
midst of the fight against the disease
in one of the military camps, we have
received the following brief and very
personal suggestions which we feel
obligated to share with the readers
OF our health press bulletins. eff any
OF you get 'flu-don't be darn fools
and keep on going. Quit, use anti
septic in nose and throat (the editor
believes it best for people who are not
physicians to consult physician as
to the kind and method of use), keep
the bowels open and quit eating. /
can't believe that it is necessary to
have the lung complication if one has
sense. Please impress this upon nv
wife"
In the meantime
USE YOUR HANDKERCHIEF
if compelled to
Cough or Sneeze
and
STOP SPANISH INFLUENZA:o
and insist upon others doing so!
Fred Burr is on the sick list.
