To kvoid 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
spread principally by contact thru sneez-
ing, coughing or splitting, many health au-
thOrities have advised that everyone wear
a gauze, which is daily washed and satur-
ated with a one to five hundred solution
of zinc Sulphate in water, and then dried
before wearing over the nose and mouth.
You should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups and public towels. Keep your
strength I'D by taking lots of exercise in
The open air and plenty of nourishing food.
II you have any of such symptoms as
chilliness, nasal Instructions, flushed face,
headache, feveriShnesS, reStlesSneSS, weak
ness, or irritating cough, give up work at
once and go to 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 nonirritating physic as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi"
Dally of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty of clothes in bed so as to get
good sweat. When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take dose Of two An
uric Tablets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least a glass or TWO Of NOT
water. Anurlc Tablets help quickly to
relieve the soreness OF the muscles and
bones from which NEST patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poisonS::

Early Christmas
Shopping
By Isma Dooly

Common sense suggests the policy
of early Christmas shopping, as wei
as the patriotic request which is be
ing made for it, because of the wal
conditions which still exist in trade
and labor
The matter of whether or not peo
pie observe Christmas in giving i:
one which the individual must decide
for himself or herself; also the man,
uer of giving or the gift. Nobody
has ever wished in the economic
measures suggested for Christmas
during war times to destroy the spirit
of Christmas, or to take from it one
iota of the religious or personal SEN
timent of it.
But it has been the desire of the
government and the war relief agen-
cies that the gifts take more the form
of those brought by the Wise Men
when they went direct to the little
Prince of Peace in the stable at Beth
lehem, when the gifts were expressed
more in the spirit, than in the mater
ial way.
Our own wise men of today have
cautiously advised ever since this
war began that in no way should our
patriotism take hysterical or IRA
tional form, but that it is possible to
give and give for the successful ter
mination of the war and for the care
of our boys at home and overseas,
and at the same time to the up-keep
and prosperity going on.
Never has a nations generosity
been more surely tested than has our
nations since the beginning of this
war, and never in the history of the
world has a nation been more contin-
uously and royalty beneficent, yet
that very benefcence could not have
been kept up to the mark, had there
not been guiding forces to keep bust
ness and general prosperity going
on, as nearly as possible, in a nor
NAL way.
Now it is just that condition which
the government is urging through the
Council of National Defense which
should be kept up in every was pos
sble, for there is going to have to
be almost as much money necessary
in the preparation for peace as there
has been in preparation for war. Our
reconstruction work is going to be
an enormously expensive proposition,
and is going to require much gull
dance from the wise men as they
have given to the war problems.
The incident of early Christmas
shopping is just one of those which,
if intelligently pursued, will add to
the preservation of normal conditions,
and at the same time do its part for
the preservation of trade conditions,
and not take from the funds which
the American people still must hus-
band in order to take care of the
armies overseas and the results of
the war here at home.
The common sense end of the mat
ter has always been the same. There
has always been a folly about that
Christmas buying which comes the

consideration the fact that the Christ
mas stock is not yet picked over
that they have a chance for bettes
service. They are just the kind of peo-
pie who keep the balance of the ma
ton at very trying period.
Therefore, in the interest of COM
mon senes as well as in the spirit of
patriotism and consideration of those
concerned, let Christmas shopping be
done early.

DON'T BURN FERTILIZER

There are still some people who
pile up and burn the cotton or corn
stalks. This is absolutely inexcus-
able, as the soil badly needs the hu-
mus and the stalks can easily be cut
into small pieces and turned under.
Of course, the stalks should be cut
and plowed under in the winter SO
that they will decay before planting
time; however, if it is impossible to
pillow the land before early spring
the stalks should be cut into short
pieces with a good stalk cutter as
soon after the crop is gathered as
possible. Cut up in this way, they
will rot more quickly and can DC
turned under to furnish humus, the
thing most needed on the average soil

The contract the Allies have taken
is the most gigantic and important

Therefore, in my humble opinion,
it is far wiser to keep on the defen-
sive. although politicians and other
civilian warriors are or soon will be
shouting ''On to Berlin" and knock

We must take into consideration the

The purchase of war supplies in any
country is measurably limited by the
extent to which they can be obtained
on credit. IL the farmers are to sell
on credit, it must be done by investing
their profits in Liberty Bonds. The to-
tai value of farm products OF 1917 ag-
gregates $20,000,0 1000, 900, or double the
annual value before the war. If one
half of this ten billion excess value
can be invested in Liberty Bonds, the
burden OF financing the war will fall
more evenly ON different classes of
sellers of war supplies. Manufacture
ers already have large amounts of
war bonds, and if the farmers do not
buy, an undesirably heavy burden will
be put upon the banks.

MUNICIPAL WASTE OF MILLIONS

1t is, perhaps, too much to expect
that our American municipalities
which take little heed of expenses gem
orally, should strive to save some mil
lions of dollars annually in connection
with garbage disposal, says The Au.
gusta Chronicle. And, yet, the shame
less waste in this particular is fairly
startling; suggesting, of course, that
every city should hare its own reduc-
ton plant and, thereby stop this enor
nous waste Of valuable material.
Some idea of the incredible amount of
grease, fertilizer and glycerine that
is at present wasted annually by the
average American municipalities fail
ure to properly utilize its garbage may
be had from the following:
OF cities with a population of over
a hundred thousand, 25 throw away
81, 100000 worth of grease, 81 ,000, 0o0
worth of tankage, S,900,oo0 pounds of
glycerin and 2O0,000,0OO pounds of
soapmaking material. Twenty-nine.
with total population Of 17OOO,0OO,
discard annually 100000 tons of gar
bage, which would produce 10000
J90 pounds of grease, valued at $500
600, and 100000 tons of fertilizer. val
ued at $2,250,000 Excluding cities of
100000 population and over. the gar
bage wasted would produce annually
12O,O0O,000 pounds of pork, worth
S20,O00,GGO at prevailing prices. Tho
output of glycerin in garbage now
wasted would supply 100000 pounds
OF nitroglycerin annually, and would
yield soap stock for the manufacture
of 200,00O,000 commercial cakes of
soap weighing twelve ounces each.

formation concerning the progress of
the Government aircraft program, and
certain pictures with grossly eXagger-

newspapers to which they had been
sent. Excess of zeal and a lamentable
indifference as to accuracy on the

such overstatements daoes infinite

PROPOSE PAY FOR MEN
DRAFTED INTO SCHOOLS.
Oklahoma State Vocational Board soon
Will Take Some Action.

Oklahoma City. Jan. members of
the Oklahoma state vocational board be
litve that men who are drafted into
the schools for technical and mechanical
training for army service should not be
obliged to defray their own expenses
while in training. and AT a meeting
Of the board adopted q resolution to
be placed before the war department,
proposing that such men be allowed
to enlist as they enter the schools and
be given pay the same as other enlisted
men.
The idea is that many of the men
sent to these schools are leaving posi-.
tons that have paid them well, while
some, on the other hand, may be unable
to defray their own expenses at the
schools. 1t is proposed to place the men
all on the same footing by allowing
them TO enlist and draw such pay as is
given privates. This feature was dis
cussed recently at sitting of the ma
tional vocational board but the Okla.
homa board decided to take definite ac.
ton.
The Oklahoma board has succeeded in
filing its quota Of men that had been
asked for the radio-buz2er service The
number asked for was eighty men, while
ninetN-thrce have been furnished up TO
date.
Equipment for technica! and mechani.
cal training of all the state schools has
been turned over for use in training the
men. and the work of selecting men
