HOW TO, AVOID INFLUENZA
Plenty Of Fresh Air and Cleanliness
the Best Safeguards.

Washington, Sept 28.-The Sur
geon general of the army today is
sued the following rules to the public
to safeguard against the spread OF
Spanish influenza and other respira-
tory diseases:
Avoid needless crowding--influ-
enza is crowd disease.
Smother your coughs and sneezes
Others do not want the germs
which you would throw away.
Your nose, not your mouth, was
made to breathe through-get the
habit.
Remember the three c's-a clean
mouth, clean skin and clean clothes.
Try to keep cool when you walk
and warm when you ride and sleep.
Open the windows-always at
home at night; at the office when
practicable.
Food will win the war if you give
it chance-help by choosing and
chewing your food well.
Your fate may be, in your own
hands-wash your hands before eat
ing.
Don't let the waste products OF di-
gestion accumulate-drink glass or
two OF water on getting up.
Don't use napkin, towel. spoon
fork, glass or cup which has been
used by another person and not
washed
Avoid tight clothes. tight shoes
tight gloves--seek to make Nature
your ally, not your prisoner.
When the air is pure breathe all OF
it you can-breathe deeply.

producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys

This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this favor and ma, =
the cigarettes keep better.

have a cigarette for the wounded soldier,

thing asked for.-Adv.

The charm of genuineness is very
real. No matter how thoroughly you
initiate something which you are not,
the imitation viii differ in some fash

the imitation is governed little by
the basic qualities of the imitator.
