HOW. TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DIR. L. W. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and TO carry away the poisons within,
it is best to take q vegetable pill every
other day, made up OF May-apple, aloes,
jalap, and sugar coated, to be had at
mcst drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. II there is q sudden
onset of what appears like a hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
a hot mustard foot bath and drink copi-
ously of hot lemonade. Ifpain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks Of
lemonade. The pneumonia appears In
a most treacherous way, when the intiu-
enza victim is apparently recovering and
anxious to leave his bed. In recovering
from 6 bad attack of influenza or pne1-
monia the system should be built up
with a good herbal tonic, such as DIR.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
30 successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

GERMAN CONDITIONS NOT
so BAD AS PAINTED

Washington, Dec. While the
state department today declined to
be specific as to its information con-
corning Germany, it intimated that
conditions in that nation are not as
bad as painted by press accounts.
There appears now to be swing
toward more conservatism than re-
Gently This is evidenced by reports
of counter revolutions, including the
rumored siege of Prince Henry of
Prussia against the reds at Thorn.
This government is watching close
ly the developments within Germany
as the time approaches for assem-
bly, of the national soviet congress.
This body, as already pointed out,
will set date for elections. 1t prob
ably will also undertake to lay down
some basis for the future of the ma
ton.
Bolshevism probably will not gain
the upper hand in Germany, it is
now felt. but the outgrowth of the
present ferment is regarded as like
" to be a very liberal socialism.
1t is doubtful that the peace con-
ference will wait upon formation OF
a stabilized government in Germany
before making it's conclusion. If
there is an organization which can
conclude a peace, it will go ahead
with its treaty, according to the view
here.
AS for Russia, it is said that there
will be representative Russians in
Paris, but that there will be no &C
tual delegates inasmuch as there is
not even a defacto regime in Russia
to appoint delegates.

Christmas Is
Chidren's Dag

The message of Christmas is love
It's emblem is radiant, thankful, coE'
tented childhood. Without love and
without children there could be nc
real Christmas. The form might sur
vive but the substance would be lack
ing.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are supertluous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glOrifies.
Let us, then, lay aside the affecta-
ton and arrogance of manhood and
womanhood and be children again
Let us adopt their point of view and
put ourselves in their places-in the
places of these sons and daughters OF
ours and of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only a year or
two ago. as 1t seems, when we hung
our ,well-worn stockings in row along
the mantel shelf, while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the innocent confidence we
showed in what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and l. 1t all comes
back in a flood of memories. Life
was simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentious than those our chill
dren voice now. Modest remembrances
they were that bulged toe and heel of
the stockings mother knit.
Life and its circumstances change,
but the essence of Christmas never
The same happy childhood, the same
restlessness, the same snail-like creep
ing of time as the holiday approaches
The same parenthOod toO-the same
planning across the reading table after
the boys and girls are abed, the same
loving consideration of what this or
that child most desires and how far
the family purse can properly be
stretched to permit some further pur-
chase.
Every home is assured a Christmas
if it has a great, warm heart pulsating
in tune with the hopes and joys OF
MISUNDERSTANDING.

GERMANY WILL
 AGAIN EXPAND
 SUB CAMPAIGN
Associated Pressl

LONDON, Jan. 12-The Berlin Tageblatt. in a recent leading arti- cle, declares that the Teuton sub. marines have upset the economic structures of the allied nations and are again the principal factor in the war. The vast military plans of the Teutons are said to be secon- dary in importance to the subma. rine campaign.
 The operations for the past year are reviewed by the German publi. cation, which publishes figures pur- porting to show that Germany's sub- marine campaign has resulted so far in the destruction of approximately $5.000.0 100000 worth of property.
 It declares that the German gov ernment is now expanding its under. sea operations. Larger and better type submarines, which are said to be the most effective yet used. are being launched and put into active service. It Is the evident intention of the Teutons to make desper- ate effort to starve the allies and prevent the landing of a great Am erican army on the shores of France.

GREAT BRITAIN
 NOW ESTABLISH
 RUSS RELATION
(AssoCiate Prass)

LONDON, Jan. 12.-The first step toward the recognition of the Bol. sheviki government of Russia by the allied powers will shortly be taken, according to a statement made by the Daily Mail today. The Mail de. clares that the government has de. cided to establish informal relations with the Bolsheviki ambassador.
 On account of the mass of con. f1icting reports which are being re- ceived from Russian points, there is much uncertainty here regarding flu. ture Russian conditions. The gov. ernment expects to be able to get a line on Russian affairs and the real state of that country by the establishment of these relations.
 There is some doubt whether or not this step will lead to the formal recognition of the radicals. This will probably depend upon the atti' tude of the Russians in the present peace conferences at Brest Litovsk

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 12.- It is believed now that the pro- posal of Senator Chamberlain to es. tablish separate department of mu- nitions with a new cabinet officer at the head will be defeated. Presi- dent Wilson is said to be unfavor- able to the proposal. and has stated that he Is confident that Secretary Baker will be able to handle the munitions question without causing any neglect from his other duties.
 In the hearing today before the senate committee Investigating the war departments work of carrying out the United States war program, Secretary Baker stated that he was not in favor of the appointment of a director of munitions at this time.
 Despite this opposition, there Is strong fight being made for the bill in the senate military committee, and it is possible that favorable re- port may be made on the measure. In the house, however. it will surely strike a snag. The influence of the President, it is believed will pre- vent it's passage in the house.
