Prevention: There is a very good
modern saying which says: at is
better to be safe than sorry" and l
am Of the opinion that a very large
number of the readers Of this paper
thoroughly believe in that PLAN I
have. received a perfect flood of let
ters, asking how to prevent attacks Of
Spanish influenza. It has been i'm
possible to answer all of these letters
promptly, help is. almost impossible
to secure. 1 presume that most OF
you know from personal experience
how difficult it is to get anyone to do
ordinary labor. 1t is even worse here
in the city, sickness has cut into the
limited supply and those of us that
keep well must do double duty.
The very best preventive measures
that 1 can tell you of and which all
of you can carry out, is to: First,
keep the bowels active; see that a NIL
and complete evacuation of the lower
bowel takes place every day and it is
even better if there is a movement
twice daily. Any person that is con-
stipated, is in danger. Retained fecal
matter causes auto-intoxication or self
poisoning. If the bowels co not move
freely every day, an enema shuld be
taken before retiring at night and a
laxative should also be taken that
will cause a full and complete evacu-
alton the next day.
The best thing to take in emergency
and when you have not an ample sup
ply of your own home remedies, is
castor oil or laxative mineral oil. The
best pills that you can get at the drug
store are those recommended by the
U. S. dispensatory and are known to
physicians as C. c. or Compound
Cathartic, these are safe but are not
purely vegetable as they contain a
small amount of mercurous chloride
which under ordinary conditions is
very Objectionable. Most drug stores
have also the official purely vegetable
pills in which resin of padophyllum
and extract of leptandun take the
place of the calonel The Home
Health Club Book Vol. V will tell
you all about these remedies.
When you are quite certain about
the condition of the bowels then the
next step is to stop worrying and ex-
pecting to get the influenza, Many
people find what they are looking for
even when they don't want to, there
fore don't look for it.
Keep warm and dry. Keep away
from crowds and have plenty of fresh
air, day and night.
The best tonic that is to be had
from your own kitchen is red pepper,
an amount equal to the size of a pea
or navy bean, taken in a spoonful of
milk or better still, in a capsula You
can get a box of 100 Number cap
sules from your druggist for Is cents
or less and he will show you how to
fill them. Take one of these after
meals twice daily. 1t helps to avoid

GALLAGHER, "CANlDATE

ST stand squarely on the Democratic
platform, and in support of the Presi-
dent of the United States" Lawrence
T. Gallagher, candidate of the Demo-
Gratis of the 22d District for Senator,
declared to a Times representative to-
day. Mr.. Gallagher continued that he
is heartily in support of the Presi-
dent in the measures he has adopted
for the carrying on on the war, in
which the country is now engaged,
and also supports his efforts for the
restoration of a just peace. to the
world and the presentation OF future
wars for all time.
IT am in favor of the submission of
the amendment of the Federal con-
stitution, prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors to the
people of the state for their deter
mination, as I believe in that import
ant matter the voters themselves
should decide what action the state
shall take.
ION the question of woman suffrage
I am in support of the platform
adopted by the state convention, that
of the Federal amendment is adopted
by Congress and comes before the
General Assembly for ratification, my
vote will be cast in favor OF it.. That
amendment has not yet been adopted
in Congress, but our platform has de-
clared in favor of it, if it is presented
to US for action.
81 am in favor of the widest meas
ure of home rule for the cities of the
state that they may conduct their
business without undue interference
from members of the General As
sembly, most of whose members can
have little conception of the actual
problems to be faced in a city like
Bridgeport. I am in favor of public
Improvements for both the city and
state with due regard to the proper
expenditure of the money involved,
and always with the proviso that
large expenditures shall be approved
by popular vote or referendum be-
fore they become effective"
Mr.. Gallagher is opposed to the levy
of a state tax, which he feels is an
unnecessary imposition upon the
cities, the general revenues of the

corporations being sufficient to meet
its expenses and maintain a surplus.

UNITED STATES WILL BE
BONE DRY JULY |, 1919
Agreement on Date Is Reached by
Leaders in Congress-President
Asked More Time.

Washington, Aug. 27.-President
Wilson, senate prohibition leaders de-
clared on Monday, is not opposed to
Legislation pending in the senate pro-
posing national prohibition during the
war, but has suggested that the pro-
posed time for it's becoming effective
January l neXt-be extended. NegO-
tiatiOnS to that end, it was said,
seemed to assure an agreement for
the passage of the bill, and also for
some extension of time to liquor IN
tereStS.
Later, after much clOakrOOm negO-
tiatiOn, leaders said the prohibition
supporters had agreed to fix July 1
next as the date when prohibition
would become effective. Although
some of the bills opponents were de-
handing longer extension, represent
atives of both factions said it APP
peared probable that July l finally
would be agreed to.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, mana
ger Of the prohibition bill, stated, fol-
lowing recent conference at the
White House, that the president did
not object to action by congress on
the legislation, but discussed extend
ing the effC ctiye date of the restric-
tons. July /, 1919, was the new date
suggested.
