An open letter
to the Health Authorities
and the Public

IN an effort to help the people of this COM
munity overcome the influenza epidemic take
this means of suggesting to the health authorities
the public and the merchants generally that It
would be wise measure to close the stores
throughout the city, excepting the drug stores for
medicines and the grocery stores.
This would eliminate the very evident condi-
tions, namely: The going through the stores of
people who are in contact with the disease. Il
the disease can be carried from place to place it
certainly can be carried by shoppers and others.
While admit this will in some measure curtail
business must all realize that the health of the
nation is it's prime consideration at this critical
perod OF the war. ~. 4.
This should help the Liberty Loan because
more people will be at their homes rather than
elsewhere when the Liberty Bond Statesmen go
to the homes.
Very respectfully,
MRS. VIM. B. SCHLEISNER.

only having the one wing the pilot
can easily look over the side and
see both his wheels, something i'm
possible in biplanes. Thus, you see,
he quickly discovered which wheel

because he knew what he was up
against
Rather Exciting
Believe me, a tenser bunch or
spectators never watched a world 5
series or a -Hardvard football
game, for most of the onlookers
were fliers and knew just what dan
ger he was in. That the airplane
would be smashed to sticks no one
doubted in the least. for cool
headed pilot can smash a plane in
such way as to save himself injury;
besides, he only had one wheel and
If he landed with much speed the
side minus the wheel would dig into

the rest. There seemed to be only
one thing he could do. end that was
level out about five feet above the
ground put on brake by pulling
the tail down, and thus, killing all
the speed he could, let her sink
and smash. That seemed inevitable.
What we were all wondering was
whether the pilot would get hurt.
But that nervy pilot had his own
ideas on the subject of getting down
safely, the machine as well as him
SELF, for no matter haw bad nix
an aviator is in. he hates to smash
his plane, even to save himself, and
If he has one chance, and that a
small one, of landing his machine
without breakage, he unhesitatingly
takes it. So down he came as slowly
as possible, which is not slow by any
means, feveled out with his one
good wheel just skimmfng the
ground, using his controls to tilt
the Zing so that all the weight was
balanced equally on that one wheel.
IL was the prettiest and most cool
headed piece of flying l ever saw,
and as the crowd saw the little Zing
roll slowly to a stop the tension re-
laXed into one wild cheer of admira-
ton. and many who discovered they
had not breathed since he lost his
wheel, now took a big breath to
make up for lost time. and to en-
able them to shout louder.
Mean Thoughts
And then, just as every one
thought he had gotten away with it,
that one lonely and hard-worked
strain, and crumpled up like an egs
shell, the airplane had lost all Its

stood up on it's nose. And, would

would not believe such a miracle
could happen unless 1 had actually
seen 1t, for every one expected TO
see one awful smash-up. lnciden-
tally, the pilot is the lieutenant who
balled me out the other day for
doing foolish things over the "piste."
l admit his criticism gave rise to a
lot of mean thoughts as to his nerve,
but that is all changed now, for 1
have nothing but admiration for his
cool-headed flying. and can easily
understand why he has eight Boche
to his credit. Just such incidents as
these are what make flying so in
teresting-there is always a chance
that one may get away with 1T, and
one never knows when he will be
put to the test. Like a woman, it's
the uncertainty that appeals. One
never knows what she will do next.

STOP INDIGESTION
WITH BI-NESIA
Avoid Deadening Drugs and
Artificial Digestants

Pain in the stomach after eating,
indigestion, dyspepsia, fatulence, gas,
etc. are almost invariably due TO
acidity and food fermentation. To at
tempt to cure the trouble by using di-
gestive powders and pills or deaden-
ing drugs is like trying to relieve a
wound from splinter of glass by ap-
plying ointment without first remov-
ing the glass. In each case the cause
remains and the trouble gets worse.
The common sense thing to do when
your stomach hurts is to remove the
acid and stop the fermentation by
means of a simple antacid or neutrate
such as Bi-nesia, which can be OBJ
tanned of Geo. A. Gorgas or any other
good druggist in either powder or
tablet form. A teaspoonful of BIZ
nesIa powder or two or three of the
tablets taken in half a glass of hot
water after eating, instantly neutral
ICES the acid, stops food fermenta-
tion, and thus enables the most con-
frmed dyspeptic to enjoy the heartiest
meals without the slightest pain or
inconvenience. Try this simple plan
at once and forget that you ever had
stomach.
The trial costs nothing IL IL fails.
for each package of BI-nesla contains
binding guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. and your druggist. a man
you personally know, stands back of
that guarantee.-Advertis

EMPLOYEES MUST
KEEP C0RNS OFF
Says corns destroy efficiency but
can be lifted right
out now.


Many large retail establishments
now insist that every employe have
cornless feet, because one can not
appear pleasant before a patron or
be fully efficient when the brain is
constantly remindful of these painful
pests
The simplest method known to get
relief is to apply a few drops of
freezone directly upon the tender,
aching corn, which promptly re-
lieves the soreness and soon the en-
tire corn, root and all, lifts out
without pain.
A quarter ounce of freeZone will
cost very little at any drugstore but is
sufficient to remove every hard or
soft corn or callus from ones feet.
This drug is gummy but dries in a
moment and seems to just shrivel up
the corn without inf1aming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin.
This should interest many men
and women here.
