THOSE who have hopes or fears that this
country will turn to socialism have only to
look at Russia.
HAVEN'T we had enough "watchful waiting
LII without adding to it its counterpart
"matchless muddlng?"
TOO many cooks will spoil the broth is very
old saving. We have too many war
cooks who are not worth tnker's dam.
THERE was plenty of time to get Bureau OF
L Public Information started but not enough
in which to equip the army as it should be-
THE Democratic party got into power on the
strength of promises made five years ago;
il is still promising, with just the same Old idea
of fulhllment.
IF THE Government takes over the railroads,
L will all it takes in be clear profit with moth
inc left for the stockholders? This seems to be
the Socialist idea of it.

And they call it efficiency!
cECoNoMY will win the war;" gurgles M Mr..
IL MCADoo. The trouble with him is that
he wants everybody and everything to practice
economy except the Democratic party
GAYS the Wall Street Journal: Austrian For
y eign Minister is in poor health, and his
country isn't feeling any too well, either" And
how about the "sick man of Europe!
THAT Bureau of Public Information is one
example Of how the peoples money is be-
ing wasted, unless they are expected to furnish
the money to pay the Presidents political debts
THE farmers who are bowling the loudest
L against allowing the railroads few cents
extra see no inconsistency in asking $500 tor
wheat and 40 cents for cotton. Down with the
monopolies!
cENATOR from Wisconsin says that he was
- accidentally absent when the Senate voted
war aoaist Austria He'll be absent, perma-
nently, one of these days, and it won't be accl-
dental, either.
ISN'T the War, the Navy, the Treasury and
L other Departments examples enough OF the
folly of putting any but but trained men al the
head of some important bureau-say like that
of the railroads!
THE people do not begrudge any legitimate
expenditure of money necessary to WIN
this war. But they are not willing to dump
billions into the hopper for the sole benefit oi
observing Democrats.

WHEN orders were issued to advance m on .a,ie 'ne

"slackers.'
LINE words butter no parsnips-and put no

DOES the extra price tackled on to the State S

THAT perfectly beautiful dream OF mighty

DITY that some of the energy directed toward
L getting the boys into the contonments had
not been expended in seeing that suitable cloth

WE have heard BILL PRIFF highly spoken OF

managing anything, but he is heluva good

BECAUSE of a monstrosity in the shape OF an
ID income tax law, many investors are seillng

THE sooner the President arrives at the con,
L cluson that the people are more concerned
about winning this war than in the success OF
the Democratic party, the quicker we are gong
to get results.
AS WE have said before, the Administration

what should have consumed several years. And
some of it has been done SO badly that 1t Will

SAYS COLD WEATHER
BRINGS RETURN
OF INFLUENZA
Public Must Be Careful to Avoid Second
Epidemic. Easier to Prevent Than
Cure. What to Do.

sEncouraeine reports of the fewer
cases of influenza in this vicinity shoulc
not allow us to relax our vigilance or t6
become careless in the belief that the
danger is all over" says a we'll known
authority With the coming of cord
weather there is apt to be return of this
frightful epidemic and its seriousness will
depend on the extent of the precautions,
taken by the public, to prevent, infection
When the air is full of influenza germs,
you may be constantly breathing them
into your nose and throat But their dam
ger may be avoided and you may make
yourself practically immune to infection
if you destroy the germ before it actually
begins work in your blood.
During the recent serious epidemic,
which hit Belfast so hard, most success
full results were obtained by many through
the simple breathing into the nose, throat
and lungs of the medicated air Of the oil
of Hyomei. Probably no better, safer or
more sensible precaution against lnflu-
enZa, Grippe; Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
or Catarrh Of the nose and throat could
be employed than to 60 now to the near
est drug store and get complete Hyomel
outfit consisting of bottle OF the pure
Oil of Hyomei and little vestpocket
hard rubber inhaing device into which a
few drops of the oil are poured
Garry this Inhaler with you during the
day and each half hour or SO put it in
your mouth and draw deep breaths of its
pure healing germicidal air into the pas
sages of your nose, throat and lungs to
destroy any germs that may have found
Judgement there. This simple precaution
may save you serious illness and the
loss of several weeks work. 1t is pleasant
to use and not at all expensive as the in
haler will last lifetime and further sup
plies of the Oil OF Hyomei can be had of
any drug store for few cents.
Hundreds of people in this vicinity used
Hyomei in this way during the recent
crisis and avoided danger. They should
not neglect it now for the danger is by no
means over.
