The Pneumonia Season.

The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for the
pneumonia germ. Now is the time to be
careful Pneumonia often results from
a cold. The quicker a cold is gotten rid
of the less the danger. AS soon as the
first indication of cold appears take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy AS to
value of this preparation, ask anyore
who has used it.

No Epidemic Here of Spanish In
fiuenza Although So Reported

1t has been reported that there
are few cases of Spanish Infu-
enza in Punta Gorda. The dis
ease, if it exists here at all, is not
epidemic; but, as a matter of pre-
caution, the authorities last week
ordered the high school, the
churches and the Plaza theatre
closed. The high school, if con-
ditions remain unchanged-that
is, if the influenza does not become
epidemic, will reopen next Mon
day.
Climatic conditions here are
very unfavorable to the spread OF
any such disease as influenza.
There is no congestion of popula-
ton, as in large cities, and the
healthful sea breezes circulate
freely.
People here rarely take cold ;
and, when they do, they recover
very quickly.
Punta Gorda is the healthiest
town in America. Official health
statistics prove it.

Deserved Good Fortune

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. G. M.
w. Hopper, who live near Cleve-
land, are rejoicing with them over
their good fortune. On Saturday
last, Mrs. Hopper received a large
check in payment of a five-years
lease on their property in Stevens
county, Texas. A valuable OIL
well has been started close to the
Hopper property and, within six
months, the lessees agree to bore
ON the Hopper land. In case a
well is located, the Hoppers will
receive substantial royalties. AS
this section is developing fine oil
wells, it is not doubted but that
the Hopper property will soon be-
come very valuable.
The Hoppers came to Punta
Gorda about five years ago and
have won the respect of every one
with whom they have been asso-
ciated. Mrs. Hopper has taught
at Acline and Charlotte Harbor
and has had an especially happy
influence over all her pupils.
Mr.. Hopper's health has not
been good for some months, and
the family will now spend some
time at Kathleen in Polk county,
where Mrs. Hopper has relatives,
but they hope to return to this
section to live.

'Rah for the Home Guards! !

just before the weekly drill
Monday night, the Punta Gorda
Home Guards subscribed for
81 ,050.00 worth of Liberty Bonds
of the fourth series. Thus they
propose to fight for their country
not only with their rifles, but with
their money. Bully for them as
Teddy would say.
Under the weekly drilling by
their officers, the guards have be-
come very proficient in all com
pany tactics. There is always a
good attendance at the drills.
Punta Gorda is proud of her
Home Guards.

The recent heavy rains made
many wash-outs in the road from

week, people travelling between
those two places had to go and
come through Punta Gorda. II
may be that they still have to
travel through Punta Gorda, for
the wash-outs were numerous and

Hon. S. f. j. Trabue has a card

him, but it is proper to state that
he is one of the few citizens who
can spare the time to attend to
the duties of the office and who
have the necessary moral courage
to enforce the ordinances without
fear or favor. Besides this, he is
property owner and, therefore,
may be relied on to do what he
can to keep the taxes down.

Girls, have you joined? That is the
question Webster City high school
girls are asking of each other. And
the answer is yes mostly, "have
you?"
It's the new canning club they mean
and the girls are all enthusiastic over
being a member right a way. Miss
Florence Watkins, Hamilton county's
home demonstration agent, met all the
high school girls for twenty minutes
Thursday just before noon and during
that brief period fifty young women

Should the membership be so large
as to become unwieldy for single
class, two classes will be formed. The
