WILSON AND HIS CONGRESS

President Wilson asked for Democratic Con-
gress. The country has selected Republican
Congress, to convene next March. Meanwhile
President Wilson has Democratic Congress. An
early peace would enable President Wilson to plan
and direct much of the necessary reconstruction
work, if his Democratic Congress would be DOM
inantly Democratic. r.. .....'
However, President Wilson's present war con-
gress contains sufficient Republicans who may
vote wisely and periodically enough to offset the
recalcitrant Democrats on war measures. Wheth-
er these Republican members will vote to suit the
president on reconstruction measures that he may
attempt between this date and March is yet to be
demonstrated. Our war business will not be hurt
by the election results; our important peace bust
ness will not either
Reconstruction under Republican regime has
no terror-the victory at the polls was well timed.

How to Fightd
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY Or. 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 a
clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean
bowels are a protecting armour
against disease. To keep the liver and
bowels regular and to carry away the
poisons within, it is best to take a
vegetable pill every other day, made
up OF May-apple, aloes, jalap, and su-
gar.coated, to be ha dat most drug
stores, known as DR.. Pierces Pleasant
Pellets. If there is sudden onset or
what appears like a hard cold, one
should go to bed, wrap. warm, take
hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously of hot lemonade. If pain de-
.velops in head or back, ask the drug
gist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets.
These will flush the bladder and kid
neys 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 most
treacherous way, when the influenza
victim is apparently recovering and
anxious to leave his, bed. In recover
ing from bad attack Of influenza or
pneumonia the system should be built

DR., Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
ery made without alcohol from the
roots and barks of American forest
trees. or his 1rontic (iron tonic) tab
lets. which can be obtained at most
drug stores. or send 10c to Dr.
Pierce's 1nvalid's Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.

WAR AND BEAUTY.

American soldiers have gone into battle be-
decked with poppes. American sailors,.in clothes
which allow their 1.-the bodies perfect freedom,
have gone to sea, following, and initiating as best
they could that paragon of manly grace, Great
Lakes bandmaster.

homes, our fighters and their folks have loafed in
the beautiful Red Cross and Y. w. C.. A. hostess
houses. There they have learned to like the big
brick freplaces, the simple wicker and unvarnish-
ed wood furniture, which, before the war, only the
rich and the cultured poor enjoyed.

uniforms, mans and Eonen's. Because there
are SO -lzay different branches Of war service and
war work these Uniforms" whether Red Cross
nurses Oh aViators, nave actually furnished va
riety which civilian dress has never approached.
Our OWE shining star spangled banner, fanked
by the brilliant flags OF our many allies, has made

This beauty and color will not pass with the war.
In new forms, we shall carry it on into the even

REPUBLICAN REGIME

Moc+ reconstruction measures will be controlled
by Republican congress for which the nation mas
reason to be thankful. President Wilson has won
the admiration of the world for his conduct OF the
war and no one seeks to detract one lota from
that brilliant record
But it was not party success. He had the
American people behind him; people which et-
faced party lines and surged forward solely to
defend the Republic and to uphold those principles
which this nation holds more dear than life ITSELF
The Democratic party made fatal error IN
using the issue of the in an attempt to capture
majority of seats in Congress. 1t was resented
by the American people whose experience with the
handling of economic questions under Democratic
rule has not always been convincing. ~
America does not want to see Bolshevlsm gro"
in this nation. With the exception OF possibly
North Dakota, the American people went on rec
ord against state ownership of public utilities and
in the national elections they failed to approve the
economic principles which seem to actuate the
Democratic administration.
Restoration of business so that it can function
normally and without the interference OF gov
ernmental paternalism is a contamination much to
be desired.
AS soon peace terms are signed ana the
proper industrial adjustments have been made
here at home, governmental restrictions, neces-
sary to state of war should never endure in a
state of peace. = - >A3e
With Republican congress, the nation is prob
ably assured that the economic phases of recon-
struction will not be bungled. 1t is the hope of a
majority of voters that the job will be we'll and
quickly done.
It doubtless will be necessary to conduct bust
ness under the control of food and fuel admins
traitors for several months, but their functions
should cease as soon as economic conditions war

I was badly ruptured while lifting
trunk several years ago.. Doctors
said my only hope of cure was an
operation. Trusses did me no goods
Finally l got hold Of something that
quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture has
never returned, although am doing
hard work as a carpenter. There was
no operation, no lost time, no trouble.
I have nothing to sell, but will give
full information about how you may
find a complete cure without operation
if you write to me, Eugene NJ. Pullen,

HOW TO USE VAPORUB IN TREAT.
ING SPANISH INFLUENZA
In every case call a physician
VapoRub should only be used in con-
nection with the physicians internal
treatment, -,l.
Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat
chest and back between the shoulder
blades to open the pores. Dry lightly
and rub VapORub we'll in until the
cover with hot flannel cloths. Leave
the bed covering loose around the
neck, as the body heat releases the
ingredients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath
stimulate tho lining of the air pas
sages to throw off the influenza
germ. In case of head or chest cold,
the vapors tend to keep the air pass
ages open, loosen the phlegm and
make the breathing easier. In addi-
ton, VapoRub Is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, attracting
the blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO USE vICK'S VAPORUB AS
A PREVENTIVE
1t Is questionable If there is any
thing which will prevent Spanish In
fuenza, except avoiding those persons
who are spreading the disease by
coughing, sneezing and splitting, and
by keeping up the bodily resistance
by plenty of good food and exercise in
the open air. The Public Health Ser
vice recommends that the nasal pass
ages be coated with a weak solution
OF Menthol in liquid petroleum as a
protective. For this purpose Vapo-
Rub Is excellent Just put a small
portion up each nostril from time to
time during the day and snuff we'll
back into the head. &
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS By IN.
HALING vAPORUB
Colds irritate the lining OF the air
passages and thus render them q much
better breeding place for the germs.
Az the first signs of a cold use Vapo-
Rub at once. Melt little in spoon
and inhale the vapors arising, or
vapoRub can be used in regular
benzoin steam kettle, such as most
druggists carry in stock. IL this is
not available. a very good substitute
to use Is an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill
half-full TO boiling water-put In half
teaspoon Of vapoRub from time to
time-kecp the kettle just slowly boil
ing and inhale the steam arising.

TIL E E MILLION
JARS SHIPPED DUR
INGOCTOBER'

On Monday, October Il, we adj
dressed an advertisement to the
wholesale and retail drug trade, advis-
ing that we were badly oversold, due to
the influenza epidemic, stating that
all deals and quantity shipments were
postponed, and requesting that Vapo-
Rub be purchased in small lots only.
This condition still prevails.
At this writing we have back orders
for eighteen thousand (1S,000) gross
and our orders each day are double
our daily output. The epidemic, how
ever, is Decreasing in most sections,
the demand is. slacbening and we are
working night and day to catch up.
In the meantime, We ask the trade to
be patient with us.

the factory and in twenty warehouses
over the country tremendous stock Of
VapoRub accumulated during the sum-
mer months. This is. now gone---we
actually shipped during the month Of
October over three million jars Of
VapoRub. We are speeding up our
factory as much as possible and the
problem now is to distribute the fac
tory's output as quickly as possible.
We have therefore, for the time being,
abandoned freight shipments and are
shipping either by Parcel Post or ex-
press-trying to give each jobber at
least a little stock.

SELFISHNESS-AN EVIL?

Conscious or subconscious, sefshness is the I'M
DERIVING motive for each act of life-good or bad.
Sefshness fosters ambition, lures to effort; it
is the beacon that bee ons humanity Onto do,
attain, evolve.
Self-beneft, self-betterment, self comfort self
satisfaction, self happiness, self elevation, self
qualification are the character compass-points by
which we steer our course of Deeds ,
Even sacrifice at it's grandest, noblest, is self
ish. 1t yields an inward pleasure proportionate to
the abnegation involved. Such selfishness COM
mands the worlds respect.
The nearest approach to unselfishness is an act
prompted by pity. But pity is state of mind
tunate than the object of that pity. 1t is born
of fanced freedom from the condition that
arouses it, sense of false security. =
So long as it does not jeopardize our own solid
footing, we feel disposed to extend helping hand
across the gulf to the less fortunate one.
Selfshness surveys sites, erects cities; maps
routes constructs railroads. charts courses, builds
ships and develops the industry, trade and CON-
merce that necessitates the first three
Selfshness furthers education. Extent of
knowledge determines amount paid in the worlds
market for service; hence that is the end which
primarily impels study, research, investigation,
the quest of information.
Concessions are made to gain; compromises
come of the need to curb sefshness by imposing
limitations and enforcing restrictions upon it.
Love is selfish. The lover labors, sacrifices and
gives to receive return of his love. He counts
his SPIRITUAL compensation adequate reward
for the MATERIAL stress endured. Such selfish
ness UPLIFTS, not one, but two; it establishes
ideals, ceanses advances civilization and leaves to
posterity heritage of progress.
Selfshness is LESS evil than good else the
world would not be purifying its processes by
struggling UPWARD; its goal, the continuous,
permanent universal improvement Of intellect,
conditions, MANKIND.
