DIR. Williams No. 1O1 Tonic For Colds
and Fever Proves to Be the Very
Thing For Spanish Influenza.

Don't neglect the simple rules OF
health. One of these is to keep the
mouth, the skin and the clothes clean.
That is easy. Another is to maintain
the bodily vigor at or aoove par It's
the rundown systems as rule, that
catch the "fu." If you do not feel
strong and vigorous, you can help
make yourself so by taking few
doses of DR.. Williams No 101 Tonic.
1t is a grand tonic. 1t will put new
life in you. If you have the "fu," DR..
Williams No. 1O1 Tonic should be
taken Immediately. The quinine in it
kills the influenza germs quickly The
iron in it tones up the system. The
magnesia ingredient acts on the liver
and bowels. So you see. it is an ideal
medical preparation. Your druggist
or drug dealer can supply you-25c

A DEADLY WEAPON.

An automobile is now a deadly
weapon, and the person who uses one
to take the life of a human being is
guilty f murder.
At least, that is the law in Illinois.
1t should be the. law in every other
state in the union.
Two Chicagoans ran their automO-
biles at an excessive rate of speed.
They struck pedestrians, whose physi-
cal frames were not strong enough
to withstand the compact with the
modern juggernauts. Consequently
they died, and the autoists kept on
going. However, the police made
cases, relatives of the decendents en-
gagged lawyers to prosecute, grand
Jury took an interest, and indictments
resulted. When the autoists went to
trial they were shocked at the incon-
venience to which they were being
subjected. They protested much, but
juries listened long and patiently
and, charged by fearless and de-
termined judge, they brought in YER
diets of guilty. Furthermore, the
supreme court upheld the verdicts
and now the autoists have begun to
serve sentences of fourteen years
each.
A point argued in the motions for
new trials was that automobiles do
not come within the class of deadly
weapons" The court ruled, however,
that a deadly weapon" may be any
instrument or machine or article
used with deadly effect and for the
purpose of killing-the intention be-
ing presumed under the circum-
stances.
If this construction of the law OBJ
tanned in other states, there would be
fewer homicides caused by speeding
automobiles. 1t would be safer fo~
children to venture on the streets
and less danger for pedestrians IN
general One or two convictions TOR
murder will have more wholesome
effect among auto speeders than a
multitude of speed limit ordinances.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

There are several reasons, good
reasons, why you should shop early
at this particular season of the year
They are reasons that appeal tt
the selfish side of your nature, and
there are other reasons that should
appeal to all that is tender and hui
man within you.
By shopping now, by buying your
Christmas purchases now, you viii
have the opportunity of choosing from
stocks that have not been picked
yer.
You will have first choice in many
instances, and at any rate you viii
have the privilege of inspecting full
assortments.
You are able to shop at your lei,
sure. and to secure the eager and un-
divided attention of the shop ladies
or men.
The prices, too, are calculated il
many instances to be more satlstac'
tory. Then think of the men and wo-
men who serve you. Now they are
not overburdened. They have the
time to wait upon you, and they per
form their work with unmistakable
zest. But when Christmas week
comes they will be nearly tagged out;
they will be harressed by a thousand
worries; they will hardly be in the
proper mental state to give you ap-
preciative attention. Of course, they
will do their best; they always do
not because it is for their employers
interests, but because it is their ma
ture.
You have got to buy many articles
for Christmas. Some of them you
can purchase now as well as later.
Why not do it now?
Stop early!
