BALL AND LAYTON.

From the Laurel Leader
Delaware has done for our nation
what has been asked by the men who
know the best for future welfare. We
have done our shade in placing at
Washington Dr. l.. Heisler Ball as Re
publican United States Senator and Dr.
Caleb r. Layton as Republican Con-
gresham. Delaware's voice counts and
will prove a mighty aid in the months
ahead
Delaware rests secure in the hands
Of the ablest men. We will feel conf
dent in our state and nations future
course. We have done well, not only
for ourselves but for the people of our
entire country. Our representatives
are the men needed They are capable
and will register results in the new
history Of the world. Before them is a
task that cannot be underestimated, but
with Senator Ball and Congressman
Layton at the front the First State in
the Union has regained its rightful
place. or course we extend sympathy
to Salisbury and Polk, but it was a
foregone conclusion.

TO AVOID AND
RELIEVE INFLUENZA
BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.

Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or heard Of
Influenza. The more you fear the
disease, the surer you are to get it.
Go right about your business and
forget it. AS the disease is spreau
principally by contact thru snee2.
ing, coughing or splitting, many
health authorities have advised that
everyone wear gauze, which is
daily washed and saturated with a
one to five hundred solution of zinc
sulphate in water, and then dried be.
fore wearing over the nose and
mouth. You should avoid crowds,
common drinking cups and public
towels. Keep your strength up by
taking lots OF exercise in the open
air and plenty of nourishing food
If you have any of such symptoms
as chilliness, nasal distractions,
flushed face. headache, feverishness.
restlessness, weakness, or irritating
cough, give up work at once and go
tc bed. This will save your strength
to help overcome the disease. Put
your feet in hot water for fifteen
minutes. Thoroughly loosen the
bowels with some such mild and nom
irritating physic as DR.. Pierces
Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally
of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty Of clothes in bed SO as
to get a good sweat When sweating
is free and the fever reduced, take
a dose OF two Anuric Tablets every
four hours. followed by drinking at
least glass or two of hot water.
Anuric Tablets help quickly to re-
1ieve the soreness Of the muscles
and bones from which most patients
complain and help the kidneys flush
out the poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
probably nothing is better than such
a mild, soothing, antfseptic wash as
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 1t will
give great relief Employed as q
gargle, in same strength as made
up for use in the nose, and as hot
as can be borne, it quickly arrests
soreness and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients re-
sistance to disease, so that there is
danger of bronchitis and pneumonia
developing. To combat this tendency
and fortify the patients strength, in
sist that he keep In bed at least two
days. Probably nothing will at this
stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than
an iron-tonic tablet called "Irontic"
or that we'll known herbal tonic, DR..
Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands
in the past two generations.
