Something new in the temperance
movement was lately set afoot by the
executive committee of the Grand
Lodge of Good Templars of this state.
A tent has been procured for the pur-
pose of disseminating more generally
among the masses the truths and ben
etits of sobriety, and of emphasizing
the necessity of organizing in order to
help forward the good cause. The
seating capacity of the tent is 1900,
The meetings are now being held in
Wyoming.

SAVE EVERY CENT.
Chicago Tribune.

chicago tribune.
Next year living expenses will be
higher. Taxes will be much greater.
The income tax, which now touches
hundreds of thousands of families, will
probably be doubled. There will be
new and enormous bond issues. New
calls for funds will be made by the Red
Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of
Columbus, the Salvation Army, and
other war activities. Local charities,
the vital forms of social work, must be
kept up.
How shall the individual American
meet his share of these mounting de-
mands on his unelastic pocketbook.
There is only one way. Each of us
must save every possible cent. Sum-
ner is coming, with its opportunities
for easy and pleasant vacation spend
ing. We must cut every unnecessary
cent out of our vacation expenses. We
must deny ourselves luXuries, econom-
ize even in what we have come to think
necessities Where we have been
wasteful we must be thrifty.
We must insist that congress tax to
the limit the horde of profiteers who
have piled up great fortunes out of the
war. We must demand tax legislation
that will shear war profits close to the
skin. But that will not solve our indi-
vidual problem.
There is hardly man or woman in
America who cannot retrench in some
way. The individual savings may run
only into dimes and quarters. Multiply
it by 100, 0O0,0 600 and one begins to get
the collective effect.
For the sake of our self-respect. for
the sake of our freedom. for the sake
of our soldiers and sailors fighting by
land and sea. we, who stay safely at
home, must save every possible cent.
The will to win, the will to defeat
the Hun, must first of all conquer the
spirit of self indulgence and easy living.

Luxury Tax on Autos.

IL now appears that automobiles are
to be hit hard in the new luxury tax.
Heavy tax upon all Injuries will it is
announced from Washington, be imposed
by the new revenue bill which the ways
and means committee has been drafting
the past week
The committee decided that automo-
bles, except those in government ser
vice, should be classed as luxuries. The
tax imposed in last years bill of per
cent on sale price will be more than
doubled, whereby the committee thinks
that $50, 900 or S75, 900 will be realized
from this source.
The proposal to impose federal H.
cense of from SIS TO $50 on cars in use
is also being considered

Influenza is Dangerous.

If you value your own health, the
health OF your family or neighbor,
you will read and heed the twelve
commandments issued by the L. S.
Public Health Service in the pre-
vention and treatment of influenza,
because influenza spreads like wild
fire. In spite of all we can do, it
may come to us over night in scores
of cases. 1t is likely to if il gets
started. 1t is dangerous. 1t may
kill you itself or through complied
tions. If it does not. it may leave
you sick and weak for a long time.
If it gets a big enough start it will
cripple us industriously and be hard
to stop. Heed the following:
l. Keep away from crowds, for
influenza Is a crowd disease.
2. Do not travel any more than
you must, to win the war, for inf
enza spreads along the lines of COM
m~unlcatiOn.
B. Do not spit or cough or sneeze
if you can avoid doing so. When
You must, use care lest your spital
or breath finds its way to IA fellow
being. If indoors, spit into a Gus
pidor of disinfectant renewed daily,
or fire. or the equivalent thereof.
4. Spray your lose and throat at
least twice daily with some standard
a%ntiseptic. If you must. in your
duties. come in contact with people
spray quite often.
,. Disinfect your telephone. Use
no public eating or drinking dish or
towel.
s. Keep dry and warm; if you get
wet, dry thoroughly and create a re-
action to the soaking
:. Do not let any part of your
machinery stop running. but see
that il i constantly eliminating the
poison~ generated by the body. Eat
digestihle foods. Drink plenty of
water.
5. Insist on an abundance of air,
ventilation without draft. Go into
the sunlight as much as possible,
for air and light kill influenza germs
as we'll as most all germs.
9. If you get cold. have a chill,
are feverish, or not as strong as usual
see a doctor.
10. If influenza falls to your lot,
and it will come to old and young,
rich and poor, weak and strong, $50
late yourself. Do not let people
come to YOU and do not go among
them. Remain at home, in one
room, and those only that take care
of you. Keep that room shut off
from the others. Above all, sleep
alone. This is individual quarantine.
II. Destroy by burning or boil
ing all discharges of the nose and
mouth; sun bedding and clothes.
y. Stay in bed till you are we'll.
Then get up by degrees. taking a
few days to do it in and do not ex-
ert yourself till yoE~-sngth has
