HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIE
BY DIR. LEE H. SMITH.

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
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the SYSTEM and keep the bowels
loose; daily doses OF pleasant laxative
should be taken. /Such a 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 cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
lets 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.
It is important, that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the sys-
tenn and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use Of the
.Anuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepid in which table,
spoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
in quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
the system, obtain at the drug store a
good iron tonic, called & Irontic" Tab
lets, or that we'll known herbal tonic,

On Thanksgiving morning George
Meleen passed away at the family
home one and half miles north of
Kiron, after a short illness. Contract
ing the flu which developed into pneu-
monia was the cause of his untimely
DEATH which has caused sorrow to the
hearts of not alone the family, but
also to his circle of friends. Every
thing possible that could be done by
his parents and surviving brother and
the attending doctor and a skilled
nurse was shattered by the grim reap
er death whose errand and duty was
to summon the spirit into the great
beyond. The disease developed to
such an extent and to point where
all hopes of his recovery were given
up, but George still struggled on for
two days, hoping to recover, but final
ly submitted, contented to the plans
of the Divine Ruler who saw fit in his
all wise leadings to transfer him into
the home beyond. Georgia Winner
Meleen was born at Odebolt April 1S,
1897, and he departed this life at the
age of 21tyears, months and 10 days,
and at a period when he entered into
the epoch of young mans career.
When but mere lad he moved with
the family to this locality on the
homestead north of town, where he
grew up to an exceptionally bright

parents and brother and among his
Friends he at all times displayed the
quiet, upright character which won
him their friendship and esteem.

err and his going away has left va
cant place in his home, with his par
ents, brother and large circle OF
friends, Funeral services were held
from the home Saturday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. N. N. Morton, at
tended by few neighbors and friends.
Had public funeral been allowed
there would have been large num-

to him. His remains were taken to

From the Boys
"HoME AGAIN, Oh, BoY!"

Sgt. Percy Cavett has written his
parents under date of November 14th,
and while he. is still in the hospital
recovering from wounds, the thought
that the war is over and he will soon
be home, is pred ominant, The boys
who have been in the battles over
there, and have endured the hard
ships OF warfare for the past~year. are
the ones who best realize what it
means to have the fighting over, and
the return home in view.

Dear Mother; ' nag
Well, here it is just a month since
III was wounded and am still in bed,
but can get aroundfa little on crutch-
es. Il still have the stitches in my
leg, but think they will be taken out
tomorrow and then it will be but a
matter of a few weeks until l regain
my strength.
But, dear mother, that is not the i'm.
gportant event of the month. OF course
you have heard of the great success
of the allies, and the condition that
the huns are in and no doubt you have
been wondering when l will be home.
Well it is not strange to say, but /
have been thinking the same thing,
and OF when l can be at home and
eat good meal and have all the COM
forts of home and everything. Now
that the fighting is over and we are
really to go home, the time will seem
long although it may be short.
We sure are being treated fine and
Il like it here, but can hardly wait I'M
til / get back home. Oh boy!
Well there is not much more to
say, but that l am feeling fine.
haven't received any mail since have
been here, but / should worry, I'll get

Miss Loween Adele Faul, of this
city, received letter this week from
a soldier boy who had received pair
of wristlets which she had knit some
two years ago. These wristlets were
sent through the Red Cross and bore
a card with Loween's name and adj
dress on it, but she had given up any
thought of ever hearing from the re-
cipient. The letter came as great
surprise to her, and the young man
explains how he happened to be so
late in acknowledging the gift: He
also states that the little card which
he returns to her for souvenir, has
been in the trenches and "over the
