SAYS COLD Weather
BRINGS RETURN OF
INFLUENZA
Public Must Be Careful to Avoid A
Second Epidemic-Easier to Pre-

ocCOuu OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 10 ITc-
vent Than Cure-What To Do.
Encouraging reports of the fewer
cases of influenza in this vicinity
should not allow US to relax our vigil
ance or to become careless in the be-
lief that the danger is all over" says
well known authority. With the
coming of cold weather there is apt
to be return Of this frightful cpl
demic and it's seriousness will depend
on the extent Of the precautions, taken
by the public, to prevent infection.
When the air is full of influenza
germs, you may be constantly breath
ing them into your nose and throat.
But their danger may be avoided and
you may make yourself practically
immune to infection if you destroy the
germ before it actually begins work
in your blood.
During the recent serious epidemic
which hit Bedding so hard, most sue
cessful results were obtained by many
through the simple breathing into the
nose, throat and lungs of medicated
air of oil of Hyomei. Probably no
better, safer or more sensible precau-
ton against influenza, Grippe, coughs,
colds, bronchitis or catarrh of the
nose and throat could be employed
than to go now to the nearest drug
store and get a complete Hyomei out
fit consisting Of bottle of the pure
Oil Of Hyomei and little vest pocket
hard rubber inhaling device into
which few drops of the oil are pour
ed.
Carry the inhaler with you during
the day and each half hour or SO put
it in your mouth and draw deep
breaths Of its pure healing germicidal
air into the passages Of your nose,
throat and lungs to destroy any germs
that may have found Judgement there.
This simple precaution may save you
q serious illness and the loss of sever
al weeks work. 1t is pleasant to
use and not at all expensive as the
inhaler will last a life time and fur
Their supplies Of the Oil Of Hyomei
can be had at any drug store for q
few cents.
Hundreds of people in, this vicinity
used Hyomei in this way during the
recent crisis and avoided danger. They
should not neglect it now for the dan
| ger is by no means over.

AFTER four months In the hospital,
went before an examining board and
was discharged from the service Of his
Britannia majesty ~ physically unfit
for further war service"
After my discharge 1 engaged pass
age on the American liner New York.
and after a stormy trip across the At
lantic one momentous day. In the haze
Of early dawn, saw the statue Of lib
erty looming over the port rail, and I
wondered IL ever again I would 60
"over the top with the best Of luck
and give them hell"
And even then. though 1t may seem
strange, 1 was really sorry not to be
back in the trenches with my mates.
War Is not pink tea. but In q worth
while cause like ours, mud. rats. COO
ties, shells, wounds, or death itself, are
far outweighed by the deep sense Of
satisfaction felt by the man who does
his bit.
There Is one thing which my ex-
perience taught me that might help the
boy who may have to 60. 1t Is this
anticipation Is far worse than realiza-
ton. In civil life man stands In awe
Of the man above him, wonders how he
could ever fill his job. When the time
comes he rises to the occasion, is up
and at 1t, and is surprised to find how
much more easily than he anticipated
he fills his responsibilities. 1t Is really
SO "out there"
He has nerve for the hardships; the
interest Of the work grips him he finds
relief in the fun and comradeship Of
the trenches and wins that best sort of
happiness that comes with duty well
done.

DAYTON SOLDIER =
KILLED in FRANCE?
Report From COmrade Not
Confirmed by De-
partment.

Charles II. Peterson of Dayton
member of Company +, 1GSth infantry
of the Rainbow division in France, has
been reported killed in action, in let
ter received by Mrs. Grant Paul OF
Dayton from her son. Arnold +. Paul
who is in the same division. However.
there has been no official word receiv-
ed from Washington to this effect.
The letter was dated August 13. and
was received in Dayton Saturday
morning. Paul says that Charles Pet
erson was killed on the first day of the
battle. but does not mention the battle
or the date. However, as the last let
ter received from Peterson was writ
ten July y, it is assumed that he was
in the fighting about the last of July.
Young Peterson was one of the first
to enlist-when the call came. He was
twenty-three years of age and was
born and raised i'll Dayton He is the
son of Andrew A. Peterson who lives
about half mile, south of Dayton.
Mr.. Peterson Immediately wired to
Washington and is anxiously awaiting
confirmation or denial OF the report.

The width and breadth of the United

bearing part of the Thirty-fourth di-

from Camp Cody to Camp Dix, New

The paragraph read as follows: Part
