INFLUENZA and ALCOHOL

No more harmful rumor has been
circulated in connection with the in
fluenza epidemic than the one to the
effect that whisky is preventive or
cure for the disease. The truth is, the
worst thing one can do is to take
alcohol when he is suffering from in
fluenza and those who drink intoxi-
cants are much more liable to contract
the disease than those who abstain
from them.
Out here at the government depot
there were 400 cases of influenza
Three deaths resulted. But none of
the deaths was caused by the infu-
enza; all three of them were caused
by alcoholic pneumonia - brought
about because the patients heard that
whisky was good thing to take when
one had the disease.-Colurnbus Dis
patch, November 6, 1918.

MINNESOTA REMAINS WET

Complete returns on constitutional
Prohibition in Minnesota show that
the drys lacked about 300 votes. The
Prohibition amendment received ma
jority of over $4,000, but under the
Minnesota law it was necessary to Sc
cure majority of all voting at the
elections. A majority of all voting on
the Prohibition question itself was not
sufficient. Accordingly Minnesota re-
mains in the list of wet states, in spite
of the fact that a great majority of her
people expressed themselves in favor
of Prohibition. The states that went
dry at the. elections on November S
are Ohio, Florida, Nevada and Wy
oming.

How About Your Family?

"Con you look a potato in the eye and say you did your duty last Sum- mer? asks The Youths Companion. Can you look your family in the eye and feel that you have done your bit if you have not provided them with The Youths Companion If it is your duty to set before your family the highest standards of thinking and do- ing; if it is your duty to kindle their patriotism; if it is your duty to af- ford them pleasure that is clean and stimulating. then it is your duty to give them The Youths Companion.
 The price of the Companion is s2.50 but the publishers offer special com bination of The Youths Companion and McCall's Magazine, both for only $225.
 McCall's Magazine, with it's April issue, appears double in size, with a new dress. Its page is now the same size as the Companions. It is not only a. great fashion magazine, but a great woman's magazine. For the present there is no advance in the price of McCalPs, but it is wise to take advantage of the extraordinary combination offer now-both publica- tions for only $2.25. Send all orders to The Youths Companion.

McADOO AS A MOVIE STAR

No heroine in legitimate theatricals would take the hair-raising chances which, through the agency of the fake movie picture, are apparently taken in "The Perils of Pauline" Or, if she did, the insurance companies would sidestep issuing her policy. The administration has borrowed a leaf from filmdom in order to boost it's favorites. On Monday, April 1st, moving picture screened at Keith's in Washington, showed Secretary Me Adoo hauling the Third Liberty Loan flag above the United States treasury, while hundreds of citizens and depart mental clerks cheered and applauded.
 MT. McAdoo made his bows and smiled his inserutable smile. As matter of fact, the Third Liberty Loan was not opened until five days after, and as the three-barred flag is intend ed to indicate the situs over which it waves has over-subscribed, or fully met it's quota of the loan, it was quite impossible for the treasury employees to have done this week before the loan was opened. This is just one little instance of what partisan poli- tics can achieve with the aid of the

BEARDLESS BEAU BRUMMELS
 ONLY WANTED IN U. S. ARMY

Every soldier his own barber and bootblack" is evidently the slogan of Uncle Sam, judging from orders re- gently posted in Washington, accord ing to which the following trench tools will be issued free to each Yankee enroute to the front: One razor, one steel mirror ,borbproof; one shaving brush, one shoe brush and one clothes brush.
 Uncle Sam is so determined to give no soldier chance to plead that he lacks the necessary apparatus as an excuse for displaying in public bud ding beard that he has agreed to re- place free of charge any of these articles which may be lost.
 However, "Brighten Up" is good motto for the hun chasers, and the ambition of the powers that be to send only beardless battalions of Beau Brummels to France is laudable be- cause in line with the best American traditions of cleanliness.
 It is psychological fact that an army that needs shave fights under handicap. Military experts have said that soldier marches as big leaguer slides for second-on his stom- ach, but next to square meal there is nothing equal to razor to put g man in fighting trim.
 Moreover, faces camouflaged to look like porcupines or bristling like hail brushes are unsanitary. There is nothing beautiful or antiseptic abou, an army that is unshaven.
 Tonsorial timber which is tall anc uncut is collector of bacilli, and as . germ catcher facial undergrowtf stands high.
 Since mud caked boots and dust de posted countenances affect the moral, of fighting unit it is well that tn, sons of Uncle Sam should go to battl, like gentlemen groomed for an eve ming party in No Mans Land.-Nev York Herald.

COUNTY AGENT MAKES
 SHOWING IN MARCH

County Agent Nichols has moved into new office quarters in the Masonic Temple at Flagstaff. The first issue of the Coconino Farm Bureau News has been issued and was appreciated by the farmers.
 Prairie dog poisoning with the farmers has been pushed energetical- ly, the agent cooperating with D. A.. Gilchrist, the rodent specialist of the U. s. biological survey and the agri- cultural extension service. Poison is being secured at cost through orders placed with the agricultural extension service at the University.
 Much attention has been given to the potato growers, helping them to find market for their surplus still on hand in their cellars and in the selection of seed for planting this season.
 The agent has assisted in bringing considerable quantity of good oat seed which will be planted by many farmers this season instead of pota- toes.
 Increased production is also being advanced by Agent Nichols through q vigorous campaign for greater poul- try and garden production. Tloys and girls gardens and poultry clubs are being formed. New poultry is being shipped into the county. Agent Nich- ols has aided the orchardists in the Oak creek district in pruning and or chard care.
 The farmers are seeing the advan- tages of organization through their Farm Improvement association which make up county farm bureau. Cat tie men in the county are talking of uniting with the farm bureau organi- zation.

TOUCH ON WOOL GROWERS

Ed. Sawyer informs us the govern ment has issued an order that the wool growers must not dispose of any of their clip this year until after the government decides how much they will need. As he understands the order, they can ship the wool to some storage house, where they can pay the storage until such time as the govern ment gets ready to buy. If this rule is enforced it will work hardship on the wool growers. as they always de- pend on the money derived from the sale of the clip in the spring to nay up their obligations contracted during the winter It is all right for the government to insist on having the wool. but there should be some pro- vision whereby the owners could at least draw part of the value to meet their financial Winslow Mail,

THE HORSE IS HERE TO STAY

The remarkable development of the gas-driven vehicles within the last few years has led to a widespread be- lief that the day of the horse is draw ing to close. A great many people have mourned over the passing of mans best friend. It seems logical that when a machine is made which does a horses work, it's advantages will crowd the animal out of the place he has held to long. The increase in motor machines of all sorts made it seem probable, and yet investigation of the horse industry indicates that it is not true at all. The day of the scrub horse is nearly gone, and the sooner darkness settles on him the better. But the days of the specializ- ed horse-the horse bred for definite place in the world as it is-is still in its first dawn.
 The demands of the greatest war in history have been for more and more machinery. Cavalry We hear little of The cavalrymen of today rides the air and the rest of the army appears to have burrowed into the earth. And still the demands for horses for the war have been enormous. In spite of automobile sand tractors of all types the cry is for horses, more horses of the right type.

 The appropriation of s20.000 secur- ed bv State Senator c. H. Rutherford for the Verde bridge is lying in the state treasury. That appropriation was made on condition that the county pay half the cost of the structure. It is estimated that with the approaches the bridge will cost all of $4O,00O.-- Yavapai Magazine.
