TO PREVENT
INFLUENZA

Spanish influenza. la grippe, or
pneumonia, almost invariably attacks
weak, rundown, underwe.ght people,
who have lowered vitality and weak
nerves. The best way to guard against
these conditions and to insure having
plenty of nerve force, strength and
surplus vitality is to take fve-grain
food phosphate tablet (known among
druggists as Bitro-Phosphate) with
each meal. This Bitro-Phosphate,
eminent physicians state, is quickly
converted into healthy, living nerve
tissue, and is the nearest in compo-
sition to the materials naturally found
in the nerve cells of the human body
of any known substance. Bitro-
Phosphate is inexpensive and can be
obtained from all good druggists

DIVISION AND PURPOSE OF
PROCEEDS.

"The organization of the county
forces for the big drive to raise our
quota of the United War Work Fund
of $170,500,00 to brighten the lives

bursed under the supervision of the

ognized by the war department and
they are now to be financed by the
United War Work Fund. Their work
with this fund is to go forward with
out any relation to any creed or prop
aganda of any sort The sole object
of these organizations will be to
serve the soldiers and sailors.

Farmers of the county would appre-

days making it impossible to garner
corn. fill silos, cut sorghum or prepare
lands for wheat. There are thousands
of acres in the country now In corn
that the owners desire to SOW 10
wheat. Their corn must be gathered
first and this cannot be done until
there is some sunshine. A frost now
would be welcome. because 1t would
mean clear weather and would make
n safer TO crib corn that farmers are
anxious to get out of their fields.
