TIE HELPER HELPLESS.

This generation has not seen as
much sorrow in so short time as
that experienced in the last few days
and weeks.
Death and sickness nave visited
thousands Of homes and brought
sorrows to all, directly or indirectly.
Similar to the time Of Pharaoh
when the first born of every Egypt
ian household were taken, and like
unto the great ''Black Death" that
visited Europe in the Middle Ages,
influenza (thc present applied name)
the modern scourge-has made it
self felt in America. Nor is this
poison bacilli, apparently travelling
in the air, thru with its work-it
still stalks on-not so violently as
within the past three weeks, yet it
leaves lifeless bodies, sorrow and
grief in its trail
Pestilences and famine follow
great wars and this period of the
worlds history is no exception.
Science has not been able to cope.
with this destruction of human life
and health. Investigations will be
made. Some of the best learned
men of the age will be called upon
to discover from whence it came and
whittier it goeth, and to imprison
and to destroy the vigorous and
death-dealing germs which have
I generated the homes Of the rich,
the poor, the high, the low, alike,
and brought sadness, misery and
woe in land where it was thought
that disease was at a minimum.
By this blow, the institutions of
charity have been unable to give the
proper care and attention to the
helpless, for it was a blow at the
very fabric of charity. The helper
was helpless.

Pushing the Advertised Brands.


An exchange very timely remarks
that it is quite the fashion to men
ton the name of the automobile now
adays in writing news items about
visits being made in which the motor
car is the means of conveyance. Thus
"Jones motored over in his Buick"
and "Smith went to Fort Lodge in
his Ford" while Brown and family
went on a tour in their Chalmers. :"
This has grown so popular that this
newspaper is going to follow out the
style in all items, and will hereafter
say that Foley left for Chicago in his
Hart, Schaffner G. Marx suit and
Baumann accompanied him, attired
in a Styleplus. Then we are going
to say that we saw Mark Trumbull
pushing Revonoc wheelbarrow down
the alley and Jack Chain pulling a
Burnham coaster wagon and Frank
Clouss, decked out in Fort brand
oyerhalls, moving hay with McCor
mick mower. We think this free
publicity for advertised brands" is
a good thing and will help push it
along.

Buy a Home.

Every laboring poor man should
buy himself a town lot, get that
paid for and then work to make the
necessary improvements. A little
here and a little there will in due
time produce you home of your
own, and place you out of the land
lords grasp; remember that fifty
dollars a year saved in rent, will in
a very few years pay for your home
and the money it costs you to move
and shift about, without loss of
furniture and time, pay the interest
on five hundred dollar Judgment
against your property, until you can
gradually reduce it to nothing. You
can all buy that way-why do you
risk it? If you fail you are no
worse Off you succeed, as any
careful man is sure to do, you have
made home and established basis
equal to another's, which will start
you in business.

THE SMALL TOWN KICKER

Trere are fancier towns than our
little town, there are towns, that are
bigger than this; and the people
who live in the timer towns all the
city excitement will miss. There are

towns that you can't in the town
that is small; and yet up and down
there is no other town like our littls

but the neighbors you know in our
little town with a welcome will wait
In the glittering streets of the gilt
tering town with its palace and pave

throng you will frequently long for
our own little town after all. If
you live and work in our town, in
spite of the fact that it's small, you
find that the town-our own little

1t is important that the people
learn how to manage the milder
CAGES of influenza without calling
for doctor or nurse. Here is some
advice which may be helpful:
Every person who feels sick and
appears to be develping an attack
of influenza should at once be put to
bed in we'll ventilated room. If
his bowels have moved regularly it
is not necessary to give physic;
where a physic is needed a dose of
be given
The room should be cleared Of all
castor oil or Rochelle salts should
unnecessary furniture, bric-a-brac
and rugs. A wash basin, pitcher and
slop bowl, soap and towels should be
at hand, preferably in the sick room
or just outside the door.
The patiets will not be hungry,
and the diet should therefore be
light. Milk, soft boiled egg, some
toast or crackers, bit of jelly or
jam, stewed fruit, some cooked GER
Ieal like oatmeal, hominy or rice
these will suffice in most cases.
1t is advisable to give the sick
room good airing several times 8
day The patient should be well
protected against cold and draughts
and then the windows should be
opened widely to let in the fresh air.

WHERE DO THEY GO FROM THERE7

When the Tuscania was reelirg to
her doom the American lads aboard
went over the side singing Where Do
We Go From Here" Never shirk or
a coward in all that crowded ship of
soldiers only few weeks before on
quiet inland farms and villages, who
had never seen an ocean or faced a
more serious danger than an operation
for appendicitis. But they sang a SOL
diers' song out there in the angry Irish
sea with the ship sinking beneath their
feet sang America in the splendor of
their faith and Where Do We Go
From Here" in the unconQuerable
courage and defiance of youth. If the
kaiser and his hordes could have seen
that orderly exodus and heard those
voices singing above the waves they
might have felt a tremor of fear at
the manner of men that will meet on
that eight mile secto-.
Where do you go from there boys?
Perhaps to Berlin to sing that song
again with the new meaning that the
next place you go shall be home to
America with a task we'll done.

RED CROSS HOME SERVICE.

Home service are the two big words
in Red Cross activities in the United
States.
They mean more to the enlisted men
than any two other words in the
dictionary because they mean that his
family or dependent relatives are be-
ing cared for in his absence by the
Red Cross. If he should not return, or
if his absence on duty cuts down their
income, he knows that the Red Cross
will stand between them and suffering.
The lone, inexperienced wife, the
kid brother or sister needing work or
advice, rent due insurance due, sick
ness, information about government
insurance for soldiers, about allot
ments and allowances to soldiers fam
lies or need Of assistance in any
respect by dependents Of enlisted
men come within the scope of Home
Service,
The American Red Cross intends to
see that not a single person in the
United States who has son, husband
or relative in the army or navy meets
with hardship because Of that patriot
ism
It is a big undertaking but already
it rs under way, and any relative Of a
soldier or sailor who desires such
services from this department should
get in touch with the local Red Cross
chapter No spread-easie promises of
help are made-smply the kind Of
service that win keep such persons on
their feet and help them to help them
selves.

that he'd been too busy to give 1t
sive it any attention
idea al along. Most of those who have
adoptedus were too busy to give the
constitution attention. They took out
papers of adoption because they want
ed to vote or somebody wanted to vote
them. What's little thing like the
constitution between politicians any
way?
And most of us to wnon citizenship

birthriSht Were obliged to show slime
general knowledge Of the constitution
Of the U. S. A Suppose We were chal-
ienged as we approached the voting
booth and asked to give a general out
line of the constitution. Think it over
and answer right off the bat What
do you know about the constitution of
the L. S?
That's the question the editor just
asked a prominent and intelligent
business man who reads the papers and
generally strives to keep abreast OF
the times, He replied, Well know that
it says all men are created free and
equal" showing that while he may not
be up on the constitution he has a
long distance acquaintance with the
declaration of independence and its
most important promise.
Still, the constitution is the pro-
lection Of every American citizen. His
interests in it are vital. 1t is the
guaranty Of his citizenship, the dec
laration of his fundamental rights.
A single reading of It would fix the
basic principles is proclalrns as the
highest law in the mind firmly 1t is
as easy to understand as the raod
dra gging law of the patrol act.
It is time that every American cit
zen in prospect and in fact give a little
attention to the constitution. There's
such a thing as being altogether too
busy.
