HAVE YOU GIVEN YOUR sHAREs

Our national program calls for 20.~
100000 more tons food to be sent to
Europe next year than ever before.
The housewife has fOrseen this eXig-
ency and is prepared, for if reports
are true, she has canned, dried and
stored away more food for winter
than ever before. She can take care of
herself in the way of canned vegeS-
ables and fruit and 80 will not need to
draw from the commercially canned
products so badly needed to send to
our fighters and the Allies.
Some estimate of the amount of
these products Uncle Sam needs can
be gained from soms recent items on
his order list. He has reserTe1 ON
the Pacific coast 33 1-3 per cent. of the
entire tomato pack, and 40 per cent.
of the string bean pack. About 600,-
900 cases of apricots uncle Sam has
ordered set aside for himi, together
with 100000 cases of canned peaches,
100000 cases of cherries and 100000
cases of pineapple.
Ii looks as If the boys n khaki
are going to continue their record of
the best fed army in the world.
And this is due largely to the loyal
women of the United States. Every
can of fruit and vegetables our boys
have this winter is in sense "a d.
Yect gift from some loyal mother, sis
ter or wife who has canned her own
supply, 80 that she can say to Uncle
Sam, Never mind me. I'll look out
for myself Send my share Of COM
mercially canned fruits and vegeta-
bles to our lighters"

To Avoid and Relieve Influenza
BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.

Many people have been frightened by
what they have read or heard of influenza.
The more you fear the disease, the Surer
you are to get it. Go right about your
business and forget 1t. AS the disease is
spread principally by contact thru SneeZ-
ing, coughing or splitting, many health au-
thOrftieS have advised that everyone wear
a gau0e, which is daily washed and satur.
ated with one to FIVE hundred solution
OF zinc sulphate in water, and then dried
before wearing over the nose and mouth.
You should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups and public towels. Keep your
strength up by taking lots of exercise in
the open air and plenty of n0uriShing food.
If you have any of such symptoms as
chillineSS, nasal distractions, flushed face,
headache, feVeriShneSS, reStleSSneSsS, weak
ness, or irritating cough, give up work at
once and go to bed. This will save your
strength to help overcome the disease. Put
your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some
such mild and non-irritating physic as DR..
Pierce'S Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi.
pally Of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty of clothes in bed so as to get
a good sweat. When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take dose OF two An
uric Tablets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least glass or two of hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to
relieve the soreness of the muscles and
bones from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poiSons.
To relieve nasal Instructions and
excessive discharge from the nose, prob
ably nothing is better than such a mild,
soothing, antiseptic wash as DR.. Sage'S
Catarrh Remedy. It will give great
relief. Employed as a gargle, in same
strength as made up for use in the nose,
and as hot as can be borne, it quickly ar
rests soreness and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients resist
ance to disease, so that there is danger Of
bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To
combat this tendency and fortify the pa.
tients's strength insist that he keep In bed
at least two days. Probably nothing will
at this stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an iron.

INTER PLANGROUND GAMES.

yesterday at Walnut Hill park. Owing
to the distance that one or the other
of the teams have had to travel that
the games might be played on the

fact that the playing fields are differ
ent on the various Fairgrounds the
games are being played at Walnut

was played at the park between the

Doctor, l am not sick. but l don't
feel right" That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
it. You are not sick enough to go
to bed You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not rostful, and yc& don't enjoy
your food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
flculties where there really are none.
Trifies worry you, and not having
enough troubles of your own, you
borrow some.
OF course, to casual observer, you
seem the same, because You are try
ing to control yourself. And If you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
you only imagine things; you should
shake it off. on begin to doubt your
self You sometimes think they are
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
newcd vigor. You begin to wonder
If it really is your mind only. And ii
It is so, is it the first step to insan-
jty? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy.
but in vain. You find yourself in
the grip of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, when you find you can't do j,ts-
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the same
condition as a delicately constructed
engine, which has not been cared for
right. Put it in the hands Of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
1t in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at it, or turn it over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.

Calls Witness Liar.

Mrs. Kern said that she paid Mrs.
Ginsberg $50 on July 5, and later
gave her $43. She also did house
work for Mrs. Ginsberg and was al
lowed 81 for six hours work. This
morning Mrs. Ginsberg is said to have
offered to return the money if she
would stop the court proceedings.
While Mrs. Kern was testifying Mrs.
Ginsberg uttered you lie" loud
enough to be heard. Detective Ser
geant A. G. Malone testified to ad-
missions made by Mrs. Ginsberg. The
accused told the officers she had pur-
chased the articles and had a right
to charge any price she wanted to
for them.
In defense Mrs. Ginsberg told of
her conversations with Mrs. Kern
and among the things she said was
that Mrs. Kern told her that her
husband had no objection to her pay
ing the money and she could pay 500
if necessary. Mrs. Ginsberg said she
charged for her advice. When asked
about the proposition to return the
money she said she was not now will
ling to give back the money because
the case was in court.
