Canning season is here and every
large family ought to have a
small home Gamer and can plenty of
fruit and vegetables to sell and keep
to make life comfortable and happy
during the cold winter days when we
are housed in from the bleak wind.
We have two gallons of dry bunch
butter beans and the second crop up
nicely to bear just before frost.
The war keeps getting closer home
and taking more and more Of our rel
atives and friends away to the battle
fields, some to never return and
spend happy hours with US again.
But listen to the precious promises
of God: "Call upon me in the day of
trouble and 1 will deliver thee"
"Come boldly to a throne of grace and
let your request be made known unto
God" "If two of you shall agree on
earth as touching any, one thing, it
shall be done for you by my Father
which is in heaven"

SPANISH
INFLUENZA
RACES IN US.
THOSE WHO ARE MOST
SUSCEPTIBLE TO IT
"FRUIT-A-TIVES"-The Wonderful
Fruit Medicine-Creatly Helps
To Resist This Disease.

The epidemic of Spanish Innuenza
which played such havoc in Europe.
has reached this continent. Thou
sands of cases of the strange malady
have appeared and many deaths are
already reported; Surgeon-General
Blue of the United States Public
Health Service having stated that
Spanish Influenza will probably
spread all over the country in
six weeks.
Practically every ship which
touches our shores from abroad,
brings those infected with the
disease.
Surgcon-General Blue urges that
"the individual take all the prccau-
lions he can against contracting
the disease by care and personal
hygiene. Plenty Of exercise should
be taken; the dietshould beregulated,
etc.
Spanish Influenza affects most
severely elderly persons and others
whose powers of resistance are
weakened by Illness, work or worry,
especially those who are rundown"
or mot feeling up to the mark"
The really great danger from the
disease is not so much in the disease
itself, as that it often develops into
pneumonia.
What everyone needs now Is q
general tonic like "Fruit-a.tivcs".
This wonderful fruit medicine is not
serm.killer. 1t is body-buildcr;
a strength-maker; blood.purifer;
a power in protecting against the
fayages of disease.
Fruit a tives" regulates the
kidneys and bowels, causing these
organs 10 eliminate waste regularly
and naturally as nature intended.
'Fruit-a-tiyes" keeps the skin active,
and purilies and cnriches the blood.
Fruit a tiyes" tones up and
strengthens the organs of digestion,
insuring food being properly digcsted
and assimilated
Everyone can take ordinary pre-
csutions, avoid crowded places, and
use Fruit "a tiyes" regularly to
insure sound digestion, to keep the
bowels and kidneys regular and the
whole system in the best possible
condition. Then we arc safe from
disease.
