SWEATERS TOO LARGE.

Many sweaters are being received
at headquarters which are SO wide
that they are too large for most OF
the men in the army, navy and ma
rines. On some occasions it has been
necessary to discard twenty sweaters
before finding one which will fit. e.
" May we ask that none of our
workers make sweater wider than
eighteen inches. The new directions,
followed properly, with the correct
weight of yarn and the correct sized
needles, will give this width, and
those, chapters that have not already
received these directions are request
ed to send for them at once. - a
AS soon as the stitches are cast on
the needle, the width can be ascer-
tained' When this is too wide, the
number of stitches can be decreased.
If by, chance it is too narrow, the
number of stitches can be increased.
We shall be grateful il this fact can
be impressed upon our workers. at
this time. -

:KlLLoEF=PREDATORY BEASTS
Kidding Ranges Of Ravaging Rosues
Results in Saving More Than
100000 Worth Of Stock.

It is estimated that the bureau Of
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture is saving
annually over $5,OO0,000 worth Of live
stock for the ranchers Of the Rocky
mountain section as result Of its in
tensive campaign against predatory an
imals, which has been in progress dur
ing the past three years. During this
period 6O,458 coyotes, s,Os5 bobcats,
1929 wolves, 2O1 mountain lions, and
1877 bears have been trapped or shot,
! and many other animals have been
poisoned. The income from the sale OF
pelts of animals killed by government
hunters to protect live stock during the
last year will aggregate approximately
100000. This work Is Of special Inn
portance, because the cattle and sheep
which are already on the range produc-
ing meat, wool, and leather are afford
ed protection, and thus the actual
sources of these essential commodities
are being conserved for market. Fur
thermore, clearing the range Of preda-
tory animals is making conditions more
favorable for stocking the grazing
areas to full capacity and for improv-
ing the quality of the breeding stock.

How Epidemics Start

1t might seem that epidemics OF
various diseases were born fun
fledged over night. Disease epidemics,
however, usually have their source
in one or few isolated cases. Sim
ply because the danger of contagion
is not recognized or guarded against,
it spreads rapidly.
Many diseases of this character are
contracted from germs which enter
the nose or mouth. Danger of In
lection and the further transmitting
of the diseases can largely be pre-
vented by the use OF an antiseptic
gargle or nose spray made by dis
solving two tablespoonfuls Of 20 Mule
Team Powdered Boric in pint of
hot water. An excellent gargle for
sore throat, often the first symptom
of approaching illness, is made by
dissolving one teaspoonful each of
salt and Boric in pint of hot water.
Your druggist sells 20 Mule Team
Powdered BOric.

.v. HEALTHNTALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY Dr.. Lee n. Sinful.


An old enemy, is with us again,
and whether we fight German or
a germ, we must put up good fight,
and not be afraid. The influenza
runs very brief course when the
patient is careful, and If we keep the
system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to ac-
cumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, clean
skin, and clean bowels. TO carry
off poisons from the system and keep
the bowels loose, daily doses OF a
pleasant laxative should be taken.
Such one is made Of May-apple,
leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and
called DR.. Pierce:s Pleasant Pellets.
Hot lemonade should be used freely
if attacked by a cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after a
hot mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bron-
chitis or pneumonia and to control
the spain, Anuric tablets should be
obtained at the drug store, and one
given every two hours, with lemon
ade. The Anuric tablets were first
discovered by DR.. Pierce, and, as
they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much OF
the poisons and the uric acid.
1t Is important that broths, milk,
buttermiik, ice cream and simple
diet be given regularly to strengthen
the system and increase the vital
resistance. The fever is diminished
by the use of the Anuric tablets, but
in addition, the forehead. arms and
hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which a tablespoonful Of
salaratus has been dissolved In a
quart. After an attack OF grip or
pneumonia to build up and strength
EN- the system, obtain at the drug
store good iron tonic, called
"Irontic" Tablets, or that we'll known
herbal tonic, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery.

,Iapanese Beetle in New Jersey.

= A public hearing on the proposed
quarantine Of d portion Of New Jer-

A peculiar advantage for the study
of marine life Is credited the biological
station established at Messina about
two years ago. The sudden rise of the
ocean bed at the strait of Messina
causes very unusual upward currents
from great depths, and these are so
strong as to bring many Of the deep
sea animals forcibly TO the surface,
where they are caught from small
boats. The animals are taken under
conditions less abnormal than usual.
Many of them are able to produce light
and some even vary the color Of the
light at will.

THE CIVILIAN ARMY As IMPORT
ANT "A THE SOLDIER ARMY.

The sale Of liquor to the soldier in
training in the United States has been
forbidden, SO that he may be strong,
alert, steady-handed, always ready,
working with esprit de corps. At ev-
cry essential point there is exactly the
same reason for abstinence from liquor
by the civilian. The men who mine
coal, make munitions, cloth, uniforms,
shoes, ships, run trains and steamers,
or supervise any aspect Of business
life are just as much a part Of the war
machinery as the soldier. The scien-
tifically demonstrated effects Of alco-
hol are not peculiar to the soldier.
Most Of these results, in fact, have
been secured in tests on civilians.
