Spanish INFLUENZA
RAPIDLY SPREADING
Persons Weak and Rundown Easy
victims--Fortlfy Yourself Against
1t BY Taking Tanlac.

According to late reports issued by
State and Federal health authorities
the Spanish Influenza epidemic is
rapidly spreading to all parts of the
country, and 1t now seems that prac-
tically every State in the Union will
be seriously affected before it runs
las course
1t has not only become a great and
terrifying menace to the public
health, but unless checked, 1t is apt
to seriously affect the progress of
war work in all its various depart
ments. Already the Shipping oBard
has announced that ten per cent OF
it's workers had been affected.
The disease has made its greatest
progress in the East where 1t has
claimed it's victims by the thousands.
Reports from other sections, how
ever, are equally alarming; and both
civil and military authorities have
warned the public to take every pre-
caution to prevent its further spread.
In many cities schools, churches and
theatres have been closed and public
gatherings of all kinds forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that peo-
pie who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims of the Influenza
epidemic. If you find yourself tired,
weak and losing flesh, or II you are
N generally rundown condition,
or if you catch cold easily this warn
ing should be needed promptly. You
are really in great danger, because
the germ of this disease is very
catching and you are apt to fall an
easy victim If you come in contact
with the, germs. People who are
we'll and strong are not likely to
contract the disease because they are
able to throw it off. The common
sense way to keep from taking 1t is
to fortify the system against attack
by building up the constitution.
In other words to use the Old
adage, can ounce of prevention Is
worth pound of cure" And If you
are in sub-normal condition the
proper thing to d is to begin imme-
diately to build up your powers of
resistance To accomplish this,
nothing on earth will strengthen you
and build you up like Tanlac, the
= powerful reconstructive tonic, which
: contains the very elements needed
by the system to give you fighting
strength and ward iff the influenza
germ.
First of all Tanlac begins its action
by creating good healthy appetite
for wholesome, nourishing food, and
assists every organ Of the body to
. perform its natural functions, thus
Is helping to building up health and
J. strength in the natural way.
. Tanlac is also the ideal strengthen
: ing tonic for persons who are suffer
y ing from the after effects Of Influ.
y enza, Grippe or Bronchial troubles
y and hundreds of thousands are using
y 1t daily with the most gratifying re-
! suits.
u In connection with the TanlaC
y treatment, it is necessary to keep the
D. bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxa.
10 tive Tablets, samples of which are
u included with every bottle of Tanlac
1t is also important that the every
; day rules of hygiene be observed
II that is, sleep in we'll ventilated
IL rooms, get plenty Of fresh air and ex
% ercise and keep awap from crowds.

1t. Curtis Kinney Appeals For
Upkeep OF Great Mercy
Organization
TIME FOR PEOPLE TO
REVIEW MEMBERSHIP
One Year Elapses Since Mt.
Vernon's Initial Effort To
Help Win War

At this time one year ago, Mt. Yer
non, with Knox county, was conduct
ing it's first organized effort to help
win the war by securing member
ships for the American Red Cross. 1t
is time now for those who became
members then to renew their men,
berships, unless in the S25 class, and
for non-members to become members
as quickly as possible.
One year ago, the people of Mt.
Vernon and Knox county were to q
certain extent unfamiliar with the
work of the mercy organization; now
the Red Cross has become an institu-
tion that is mentioned at nearly ev.
cry meeting of people and its name Is
coming to be household word. All
know much about its work now and
voiced their approval recently by
their subscriptions to the second war
fund of the Red Cross. ~
In this issue of The Banner Is a
display advertisement in winch the
may be renewed is given and 1t is ex-
pected that every member and every
non.member will sign up at these
places to continue or become part
of the great net of mercy drawn
through an ocean Of unspeakable
pain" and thus strengthen it.
Probably the first member to re-
new his membership in Knox county
is Lieut.. Curtis Kinney. now carrying
out operations against the Huns on
the western front with the British
Royal Flying Corps. Relative to his
renewal he says in a letter received
here:
"The knowledge that the Red Cross
flag is waving over all France. and
that under it are capable and able
men and kind and tender women to
care for chap who has been hurt,
gives the boys confidence and cour-
age. And somehow | feel that the
good wishes of the good people of Mt.
Vernon the good wishes they have
for all Knox county boys, play part
in counteracting the evil intentions
of the Huns. And in no way can they
be better expressed than by Red
Cross membership. 4.
