Influenza and Alcohol.

No more harmful rumor has been
circulated in connection with the in
fluenza epidemic than the one to the
effect that whiskey is preventive or
cure for the disease. The truth is, the
worst thing one can do is to take al
cohol when he issuffering from in
fluenza, and those who drink intoxi-
cants are much more liable to con-
tract the disease than those who alb
stain from it.
Out at the Government depot at
Columbus, Ohio, there were 400 cases
of influenza. Three deaths resulted.
But none Of the deaths was caused by
Influenza; all three of them were
caused by alcoholic pneumonia
brought about because the patient
heard that whiskey was a good thing
to take when one had the disease. 1t
is stated that one Of the unfortunate
victims stated upon his death bed
that he had read an advertisement
saying liquor was being used in the
treatment of the disease, and that
he had taken whiskey on that account.
The person or persons printing such
advertisements are therefore little
better than murderers.
Whatever you think of prohibition,
or whether you think anything of it,
let alcohol alone--for the present at
least. Do not weaken the system by
using excessive stimulants when there
is such great danger. And. if you
should be so unfortunate as to con-
tract the disease, let the physician
prescribe for you; do not get it into
your mind that you cancure yourself
by drinking alcoholic beverages.
Dangerous to handle at all times. al
cohol is a greater menace than ever.
now that we have this epidemic with
Dispatch.

In this issue ic advertised the Boyd
lson farm Of 81 acres within two
hundred yards of the City limits Of
Lancaster on the Buckeye pike. This
is a splendid well improved place and
in as much as there is not a dairy in
Lancaster and an ever increasing de-
mand for butter and milk it seems to
US that this place offers an ideal To-
cation for a dairy farm. Mr.. J. S.
Haselden who has this place for sale
tells US that this farm will absolutely
be sold to the highest bidder without
reserve or by bid and is certainly an
ideal place for some one to make
money out Of the dairy and poultry
business.

The Flu.

When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsils squeak and your
hair gets dry,
And you're doggone sure that you're
going to die,
But you're skeered you won't and
afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill,
And pray the Lord to see you thru,
For you've got the Flu, boy,
You've got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes fiat,
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas Cat,
And life is long and dismal curse.
And your food all tastes like a hard
boiled hearse:
When your lattice aches and your
heads a-buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was.
You've got the Flu, boy,
You've got the Flu.
What is it like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother, for I've been thru
1t is by Misery out of Despair:
1t pulls your teeth and curls your
hair;
1t thins your blood and brays your
bones,
And fills your craw with means and
groans.
And sometimes, maybe. you get well.
Some call it Flu-I call it hell!

Victory Loan
Will Be Next,
New Drive To Raise Five Bill.
lions Being Planned For
Next April And Interest
Rate Will Be Same As
At Present.

Plans are under consideration fol-
another big loan campaign to be stag.
ed next April. according to reports
from official circles in Washington
This is expected to be the last wal
loan, and will becalled the "Victory
Loan instead Of Liberty Loan, as
in all previous loan drives.
The amount Of the Victory Loan
will probably be IS, O0O, 900, 900, altho
the government has authority to sell
bonds to the amount of nine billions.
and the rate Of interest is to remain
4 Ia per cent, and will doubtless bear
earliet maturity date.
The time to be allowed for the loan
campaign will be no longer than that
given the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign, but in view Of the needs of the
government in connection with ad-
vances of credit to the Allied pow
ers and the completion of contracts
for military establishments an effort
will be made to realize on the loan as
speedily as possible in order to keep
up the volume Of funds in the treas
ury to meet maturing obligations
which cannot be met by taxation. No
doubt Gsrrard county will again
be called on to subscribe another
huge sum, and we venture the asser-
ton that when the call comes we will
again go "Over The Top" with the
same spirit that carried us beyond the
coveted goal in all previous cam
paigns.

The Happy Farmer.

A certain class Of newspaper men
assert that a farmer is the most in
dependent man on earth, and that he
has nothing to do but to enjoy life.
That when winter comes and the bliz-
Yards on the wing he toasts his feet
in the oven and reads the local news
paper and the only thing that dis
turbs him is a call three times a day
to banquet of mince pies and other
Injuries. II is a mistake. The indus
trious farmer begins work long be-
fore the sun thinks Of getting up.
With his soul shrouded in gloom he
proceeds to build a fire and soften
his boots with sledge hammer. He
then takes a lantern and shovels his
way to the barn and feeds the hogs.
II is then time to feed the newly arriv
ed calf, which seems to delight in
butting a pail Of milk over the tiller
Of the soil until he only needs to be
stamped to pass for package of oleo-
margarine. He crawls thru a barb
wire fence and digs the hay out of
the snow, gathers up the frozen chicks
ehases a stray pig for four miles, and
does not catch it, doctors sick horse,
freezes his fingers, gets kicked by a
one eyed mule, and when the gloam-
ing comes and quietness .roods over
all the earth. he has single hour to
mediate and wonder how he will pay
his taxes.

didates for regular berths on the CTS. The latter suffered broken ankle at the training camp and was sent to Chicago two weeks ago.
 Schalk is expected to do the butt of the catching again. He will have Byrd Lynn as assistant The other rockies, George Lees, from Bethle- hem, Pa, and Harry Lake of New port News, Va, were taken on the training trip for trial, but may have to be farmed out after the season opens.
 Gandil will take care of first base; Eddie Collins will guard the key stone sack; Weaver will be at short and McMullin at third base. Ted Jourdan and Risberg will play util ity roles on the infield. Three re- cruit infielders accompanied Row lands club to the training camp, but it is doubtful if any of them will dethrone the regulars. They are Hen ", of Winston-Salem and Hargrove and McClelland of the Western League.
 The regular outfielders-John Col lins, Oscar Felsch, Eddie Murphy, Harry Leibold and Joe Jackson probably will line up the same as last season However, two recruits have been trying to win place from one of the veterans. They are Bruno Haas, and R. Eldred, both of New ark. A new trainer has been signed by President Cominskey, in the per son of Harry Stephenson, formerly with the Union League of Chicago. The signing of Stephenson was said to be a move in the interest of har- mony on the club, it having been said that several of the players Op the team did not approve of Buckner- the colored trainer, who had been with the club two years.

CHICAGO AMERICANS

The Chicago Americans will stand pat with the team which won the worlds championship from New Yorl last season. President Charles A Cominskey and his manager, Clarence Rowland, feel confident that the team which won baseball's highest honors last season has the class tC repeat this year.
 In speaking of the club Manager Rowland said:
 "I am perfectly satisfied with our team and am ready to start where we left off Of course 1 make nc predictions, but whatever club beats us will play lot of high-class ball. VI
 All the regulars looked in shape to start two weeks before the sea son opened, although the training camp at Mineral Wells, Tex, was the most abbreviated the club ever has taken.
 The weakest spot on the club is the pitching department. It was the same worry Rowland experienced last year. The White Sox laid claim to only two men who were able to go the full nine innings on the mound. These were Cicotte and Fla Der. Williams and Danforth, south paws, were a 'fifty-fifty" pair whose team work in relieving each other also helped the Chicago club. Dan forth also was fire class finisher for some of the other twirlers. These two pitchers are expected to Ego the route" this season, and if they can fulfill Rowland's expectations, the pennant chances of the White Sox are exceedingly bright.
 James Scott did not do much for the club last season, and left to join the army, in which he has been commissioned as a captain. Wolf gang, who spent most of his time last year pitching to batters in prac- tice, is anxious to break into the game as regular pitcher and may come up to expectations.
 "Reb." Russell, whose crooked arm prevented him from giving his best efforts to the club, did not report this spring, because he did not ap prove of the contract.
 Shellenbach, a recruit pitcher from the Milwaukee Club of the American Association, is making his second at tempt to break in with the White Sox. He is 20 years old, a right handler, feet, one inch tall, and weights 175 pounds.
 Paul Musser, drafted from the Des Moines club in the Western League is counted as a good prospect. Mus ser came to the White Sox highly recommended. He won 23 games and lost IS last season which stamps him as an "iron man,, who can dc considerable work. Musser is 27 years old, 6 feet one inch tall and weighs 1SO pounds and is a right handler.
