Lewis Davis, of this city wen
down with the Ticonderoga
This ship, II will be remembered,
was tarpedoed and shelled and
practically all on board was
either killed or drowned by the

Lewis is the first Okolona boy
to pay the supreme price of our
liberties; to his memory the first
gold star is displayed on a
service flag. The death of this
noble young man, so ruthlessly
and unlawfully taken, should
call to mind the necessity for
this nations entry into the war
and should make every individual
resolve to do his whole duty
towards winning the struggle.

Germany has made overtures
to the United States for peace
and has accepted President
Wilson'S IA terms, but she comes
back with a proposition to be
allowed to help name the terms
of an armistic. This is unsatis-
factory and Mr.. Wilson has
plainly told them so. 1t is now
up to Germany to propose 'un-
conditional surrender" and to
our people to push the war in
every possible way. Especially
should the bond sale go over the
top in good shape. Many victor
les are lost when within easy
grasp. A little relaxation on
the part of the allies at this

Spanish Ifuenza
Rapidly Spreading
Persons Weak and Rundown
Easy Victims Fortify Your
self Against 1t BY Taking
Tanlac.

According to late reports issu-
ed 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 the Union will be SER
iously affected before it runs its
course.
1t has not only become a great
and terrifying menace to pubic
health, but unless checked, it is
apt to seriously affect the pro-
gress of war work in all its
various departments. Already
the Shipping Board has announc-
ed that ten per cent of its work.
ers had been affected.
The disease has made its great
est progress in the East where
it has claimed its victims by the
thousands. Reports from other
sections, however, are equally
alarming; and both civil and
military authorities have warned
the public to take every pre-
caution to prevent it's further
spread. In many cities schools,
churches and theatres have been
closed and public gatherings of
Fall kinds forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that
, people who are weak and run
down are the earliest victims of
the Influenza epidemic. If you
find yourself tired, weak and
losing flesh, or if you are in a
generally rundown condition, or
if you catch cold easily this
warning should be needed
promptly. You are really in
great danger, because the germ
of this disease is very catching
and you are apt to fall an easy
victim if you come in contact
with the germs. People who are
well and strong are not likely 10
contract the disease because
they are able 10 throw it off. |
The common-sense way to keep
from taking it is to fortify the
system against attack by build
ing up the constitution.
In other words to use the old
adage, An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure" And
if you are in a sub-normal con-
dition the proper thing to do is
to begin Immediately to build up
your powers of resistance. To
accomplish this, nothing on
earth will strengthen you and
build you up like Tanlac, the
powerful reconstructiye tonic,
which contains the very elements
leeded by the system to give
'ou fighting strength and ward
IF the influenza germ.
First of all Taelac begins its
Iction by creating a good healthy
appetite for wholesome, .nourish-
ng food, and it assists every
Ryan of the body to perform its
atural functions, thus helping
} build up health and strength

that the plant ran behind for the

over Five Hundred dollars per

at this rate to put the Power

to increase in fuel and labor.
Coal costs about twice as much
as it did two years ago, Labor

We had hoped to work things

equal uncertainty as to whether

spoke briefly, thanking the men for

49,. IDEAS
BY Roger w. Babson

little more than lU0 years ago the
last real world war was at it's height.
Instead of Germany trying to conquer
Europe, it was France, under the lead
ership Of Napoleon, which was trying
to rule the world. Yes; then England
and the other great nations were fight
ing Napoleon as we are now fighting
the kaiser.
Napoleon had been pretty success
full in smashing Europe and stood on
the shore Of northern France, near
where our own troops are today, wait
ing for wind to take his troops to
England. In those days England was
still the goal, as she is today; but
armies then had to depend on sailing
ships and it was impossible to cross
the English channel from France eX-
cept with southerly breeze.
-
An American, named Fulton, who had
been ridiculed by his own people here
at home, went to France at that time
and presented an idea to. great gen.
eral He took with him model OF
steamboat. Napoleon looked at it,
shrugged his shoulders, and cast it
aside, saying, IF it were possible to
build a ship to go without sails, my
generals would have invented 1t be-
fore this"
Hence, Robert Fulton, broken heart.

and wait until the American people
were willing to give him hearing.
Yes; it was some time before he was
allowed to build his crazy steam.

ally made him world famous. In the
meantime Napoleon, unable to get to
England, was obliged to fight it out
at Waterloo, where he was bitterly de-
feated. "
s.
often wonder if many of us EN-
ployers are not like Napoleon when
one Of our own people comes to us
with a new idea. How many of us
take pains to encourage and listen to
those who come to US? And yet some
one tomorrow may bring us great
idea. Will we take the trouble to lis

general, Napoleon, was brought to his
defeat largely because he failed to
listen to the American inventor, Full

Whatever we employers do. let no
reader forget Fulton. Whether or not
your employer listens to you, stick
to your idea just the same. If Fulton
hadn't stuck to his there would be no
steamboat today. If Marconi hadn't
been full of courage there wouldn't
have been any wireless today. II
Langley and Wright hadn't shut their
