EVERYBODY
USING TONSILINE!

The Spanish influenza epidemic has
meant a wonderful increase in the
sale OF Tonsiline-The National Sore
Throat Remedy.
The moment medical authorities
advised frequent use of an effective
gargle to sterilize the throat. which
these deadly germs must use as a
gateway and breeding ground In en-
tering the body, countless families
went to their medicine shelf or sent
to the nearest druggist for bottle OF
Tonsiline.
Also, the majority Of those afflicted
with this dreaded malady found them
selves suffering from decidedly sore
Threats and many Of them have re-
newed their faith in this time tried
remedy.
For more than a quarter Of a cen
fury Tonsiline has been relieving most
OF the sore threats in the territory
where 1t was sold. This record stamps
it as being particularly indicated
right now as preventive and relief
In doing its share toward ending the
present situation. 1t is as safe as a
Liberty Bond.

leans taking all they wanted OF what
they had. So in the streets and in the
houses, some Of them occupied only a
few hours previously by German OIL
GERS and men, the Americans made
themselves at home, for short breath
ing spell. and the French popule ton
of the village endeavored to satisfy
the appetites of their deliverers.
From the time the Germans reached
Thiaucourt in September, 1914, until
a few days after the village had been
retaken by American troops. the civil
ians were entirely without fresh meat
Of any kind excepting now and then
a chicken or rabbit which were
raised In cellars without the knowl-
edge of the Germans. All the cattle in
the region of Thiaucourt were taken
by the Germans. but two cows being
left to furnish milk for babies.
Until the United States entered the
war food was sent to Thiaucourt by
way of the Netherlands by the Ameri-
can relief committee and later by a
Spanish relief committee. This con-
sisted principally of bacon. flour, sug-
ar. rice, beans. peas and some cocoa.
Two boxes Of condensed milk were re-
ceived in Thiaucourt each month and
now and then shipment OF salt meat.
Twice several boxes Of American shoes
arrived for the inhabitants and at long
intervals there were small shipments
Of clothing.
During the four years occupation by
the Germans none Of the civilians was
allowed to leave the town. However,
on one or two occasions individuals
were permitted to visit a nearby vii
lage to attend the funeral of relatives,
accompanied by a soldier guard.
