HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
By DIR. 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 clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within.
1t is best to take vegetable pill every
other day, made up of May-apple. aloes,
jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is sudden
onset of what appears like hard cold.
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
q hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously Of hot lemonade. If pain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys 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 recover
ing and anxious TO leave his bed. In re-
covering from bad attack Of influenza
or pneumonia the system should be
built up with a good herbal tonic, such
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dlscov-

One of Several Theories as
To Origin of Wedding Ring

Among several theories as TO the
origin of the wedding ring is one
which is 10 the effect that before the
time of minis and coinage the gold
money in Egypt was made in the form
of ring, usually worn on the finger
as a convenient method of carrying
and safe-keeping. The men and wom-
en-. therefore. had all their gold or
wealth made into rings. and for the
majority of people these rings were
no larger than the plain gold bands or
today. Thus, when the groom placed
the ring on the brides finger. he meant
exactly what the modern service
makes him say-he did exactly endow
his bride with al his worldly goods.

Rain Delays

In Flanders
Storm Also Hampers Oper-
ations in Air; Local
Encounters Lively

With the advent of rainy weather yes
terday the fire of the guns along the
Western battlefront slackened some
what, but lively local encounters took
place in the valley of the Lys and
along the Somme. The storm also
hampered air operations.
All authorities on both the Allied and
the Tcuton side of the battle line
agree that great German blow is
impending. Enemy military critics
believe Ludendorff will strike his first
blow in Flanders.
The enemy continues to rate the Ameri-
can forces as negligible, and says
that Foch's reserves are almost ex-
hausted. His hope of victory is based
on the reinforcements from the East
front.
American forces are to take new part
in the fighting. Announcement was
made yesterday that an American air
squadron will help defend Paris
against enemy air raiders.
The Germans who have faced the Amer
leans in the Toul sector have been
rushed to Picardy or Flanders, and

them.

Mr.. Lloyd George said that while

bright, said Mr.. Lloyd George in
discussing the united command of
