SPANISH
 INFLUENZA RACES IN US. Thousands of Cases Pepo-toi
 With Many Deaths.
THOSE WHO ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO 1T
'TRUHT-A-TIVES"-The Wonderful Fruit Medicine-GreatIy Helps
 To Resist This Disease.

The epidemic of Spanish Influenza which played such havoc in Europe, has reached this continent. Thou. sands of cases of the strange malady have appeared and many deaths are already reported; Surgeon-General Blue of the United States Public Health Service having stated that "Spanish Influenza will probably spread all over the country in six Weeks".
 Practically every ship which touches our shores from abroad, brings those infected with the disease.
 Surgeon-General Blue urges that ''the individual take all the precau- lions he can against contracting the disease by care and personal hygiene". Plenty of exercise should be taken; the dietshould beregulated, etc.
 Spanish Influenza affects most severely elderly persons and others whose powers of resistance arc weakened by illness, work or worry, especially those who are "run-doWn" or "not feeling up to the mark"
 The really great danger from the disease is not so much in the disease itself, as that it often develops into pneumonia.
 What everyone needs now is a general tonic like F'Fruit-a-tives'. This wonderful fruit medicine is not gern-killer. It is a body-builder; 8 strength-maker; blood-purifer ; B power in protecting against tho ravages of disease.
 "Fruit tives" regulates the kidneys and bowels, causing these organs to eliminate waste regularly and naturally as nature intended. 'Fruit-a-tives'' keeps the skin active, and purifes and enriches the blood. "Fruit a tives1 tones up and strengthens the organs of digestion, insuring food being properly digested and assimilated
 Everyone can take ordinary ore. cautions, avoid crowded places, and use Fruit a tiveS" regularly to insure sound digestion, to keep tho bowels and kidneys regular and tho whole system in the best possible condition. Then we are safe from disease.
 ''Fruit-a-tives" is sold by dealers everywhere at Soc a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 25c or sent postpaid on receipt of price by FRUIT-A-TIVES Limited, OGDENSBURG, \. Y.

New London. Nov. 1.-Unless all
 political signs fail New London can
 be depended upon to do its full share in the increase of the majority of ev- cry candidate on the republican ticket
 Not a majority of 1os as in the vote for mayor at the recent elecIton, but an old-time majority of from 400 to 500. and even more for Sidney A. Brown, the candidate for city sheriff, who win receive every republican vote and perhaps 300 democratic votes, just for good measure and friendship sake. He always does receive a fiattering vote in the county. and the present indications are that he twill receive the largest vote ever. and he is wor- thy every vote cast for him. as he has proven his efficiency and fitness for the office beyond question. Sheriff Brown is but one of the several can dfdates on the ticket that is worthy the consideration of every voter, yet there is less Dartisanship in that office

DON'T WASTE SEED

William Elliott, Food Administra-
tor, has issued the following state
ment:
"Reports have reached this Office
that farmers in certain sections OF
the State are feeding seed to cattle,
and in some instances using seed for
fertilizers. Such policy on the part
of any producer is short-sighted when
the prevailing price for cotton seel
is obtainable and results in an eco
nomic loss as we'll as destroying valu
able food for man and beast.
"The Food Administration wou
like to see this wasteful practice el
minated. Rule 4'of the Special Rule
Of the United States Food Admin
tration prohibits the use Of cotto
seed for feed or fertilizers withor'
the written consent fthe State Fooy
Administrator. 1t is probable .ka(
few farmers who are practicing this
wasteful method realize the loss both
to themselves and to their fellow man
resulting in the utilization of co ten
seen in this manner. s.

Millions of dollars of Government
Insurance are being bought by the
soldiers at Camp Jackson, Columbia,
S. c.
Realizing that February 18th. 1918
is the last day, soldiers are buying
insurance at an unprecedented rate
$24, ,4O3, 100000 has been applied for
in one week, and the total amount
sold up to January 26th 1918 is
$1O4,501, 100000.
Lieut. David H. Fuller, Division
Insurance Officer reports that the
campaign to insure every man at
Camp Jackson is well under way and
that over 10 per cent of the entire
division is insured and that every ef-
fort is being put forth by every Of
ficer in the command to reach the
remaining 80 per cent. before the
last day arrives.
The proposition put to the soldiers
is so fair, so reasonable and SO Ame-
rican that relatives and friends of
every soldier in this camp should see
to it that the man in service is fully
insured to the maximum amount,
$1O,000.00. This can be done easily,
for if a soldier finds that he is un-
able to pay the premiums, any parent,
relative or friend can pay the pre-
miums for him by sending check
each month or each year to the -Bu-
reau Of War Risk Insurance, Wash
ington, d. c. Should there be any
doubt about the payments Of. these
premiums, information may be had
by writing to the Insurance officer,
81ss Division, Camp Jackson, 8. C.
Talks at the different Y.M.C.A.
are made almost every night In the
interest Of Government Insurance.
But nothing helps like a letter from
the folks back home telling the boy
that they believe in this insurance.
Every day letters are being received
from soldiers mothers end fathers
asking II their boy has taken out this
insurance. These men invaribly take
out insurance. A 400 per cent. Di-
vision" Is the slogan Of the insurance
officers and almost every day several
companies cross the safety line and
place their outfit in the 100 per cent.

UNDER FIRE AGAIN
OUR BOYS ARE SAFE

With the American Army in
France, Monday, Feb. 4.-German
plans to raid the American trenches
were frustrated early this morning.
The American artillery put down a
heavy barrage in front Of and on the
German lines which are believed to
have been filled with men and officers
awaiting the signal to attack.
1t was discovered at certain hour
that the Germans intended to carry
out "silent" raid. Fifteen minutes
before the time set all the American
guns concentrated their fire where,
according to the information the
enemy was massed. 1t is believed
heavy casualties were inflicted on the
Germans.

Fuller reports from the first line
show that great courage was exhibit
ed by the troops during the heavy
German bombardment of Saturday.
