GUARD AGAINST THE
SPREAD OF THE "FLUT

Spanish influenza is spread from
person to person, the germs being
carried with the air along with the
very small droplets of mucus, ex-
pelled by coughing or sneezing,
forceful talking and the like by one
who already has the germs of the
disease. They may also be carried
about in the air in the form of dust
coming from dried mucus, from
coughing and sueezing, or from
careless people who spit on the
floor and on the sidewalk. AS in
most other catching diseases, a
person who has only mild attack
of the disease himself may give a
very severe attack to others.
In guarding against disease of
all kinds, it is important that the
body be kept strong and able 10
fight off disease germs. This can
be done by having a proper pro-
portion of work, play and rest, by
keeping the body we'll clothed and
by eating sufficient wholesome and
properly selected food.
In connection with diet, it is
we'll to remember that milk is one
Of the best all-around foods obtain
for adults as we'll as children. So
far as disease like influenza is
concerned health authorities every
where recognize the very close re-
lation between its spread and over
crowded homes, While it is not
always possible, especially in times
like the present to avoid such over
crowding, people should consider
the health danger and make every
effort to reduce the home over
crowding to a minium.
The value of fresh air through
open windows cannot be over en-
phasized.
Where crowding is unavoidable,
care should be takened to keep the

ADVERTISING WILL DO IT

The billions of dollars that our
Government and foreign nations
are borrowing from our people
will be spent right in this country
for food stuffs and supplies of all
kinds. The bulk of this money
will find its way into the hands Of
the millions of wage earners and
they in turn will spend most of it
for necessities of life. This COM
munity will get its share of those
bilious.
The shrewd home merchant
knows this and is already map
ping out an extensive advertising
campaign to effset the tremendous
efforts of mail order houses and the
large city merchants. He will get
his, for advertising will bring it to
him.
The local merchant who forgots
toadvertise, who expects toincrease
his business with a proportionate
increase in legitimate publicity
expense, may discover to his cost
that he is decreasing in instead.
The public takes every mans
number.
