Uncle sam.
Chillicothe, GA military order at
Camp Sherman prohibits soldiers IN
uniform from entering the saloons or
Chillicothe. Before this order went
into effect, the soldiers could eater
the saloons, tut were prohibited from
drinking. In many Of these GAlOsaS
meals are served, and the bsys woaA
cat in these places.
But there has been more o. lOss L.
quor sold to the boys, as u natural
and so the order was given thai tie
boys must keep out Of the saloons.
This order applies to officers ~ we'll
as privates.
Liquor interests do not like the or
der, claiming saloons furnish meals
at less cost than they can b pro
cured elsewhere and that the order
will work hardship. But this city will
see that food can be procured for a.
little money outside Of saloons a
within them, and the order Is meeting
with public approval. \
All cereals should be kept iT
dry, we'll lighted store rooms
Damp, dark cellars should never
be used for storing foods.

OHIO SALOON MEN
. ARE IN TROUBLE

Supply Of Whisky Almost EKhaWStsd
and Now Government HaS Ordered
Brewers to Buy No Mere Drain.
Conditions Such Tbat Hundreds Of
Saloons May Go Out Of Business
ThIs Spring and Not Wait For Pre-
hibltisn by the Voters Of the stats.
Columbus, O.-Ohio brewers and
salOOnkeepers are "up in the air" At
the last session the Legislature
amended the license law and saloon
licenses are to be granted this spring
instead of in the fall. ApplicatiOns
for licenses must soon be made and
new license year will begin the fourth
Monday in May.
Few Ohio saloOnkeepers have much
whisky in stock, and there ID no mOrs
to be had, as none has been distilled
since last September. The ban on the
making Of whisky will continue dur
ing the war and It h net likely this
ban will be lifted even when the war
closes. The supply will soon be sx-
hausted.
To add to the troubles of the saloon
keepers is the recent government Or-
der that for the present the brewers
must net buy any barley or malt. How
long this order will be in force and
what will come NEXT Is not known. The
beer supply will be exhausted, it 10
said, in from three to six months.
II the Ohio saloOnkeepers can Sc
cure neither whisky nor beer, how can
they operate saloons? It cannot be
done. How can they afford to pay for
tAeir licenses if they; have nothing to
sell?
Even before the order Waa given
the brewers to buy no more grain,
scores Of SalOonkeepsrs had dGsided
to quit, that they cannot make o hV-
ing selling bseH. Now that the supply
of beer IL tkrSatAaed, scores more arc
throwing UP their haAds. The future
Of the trafie does not lsOk good to
them. Besides, business 10 not good,
expenses are high, and over all is the
shadow Of both state and national pro-
hibitiOn.
On top Of all their troubles, they
ara facing another statewide eOAtSst
this year, with the drys aggressive
and determined to wan, snd the wet
margin wiped out by the vote last No
vember. To add to their worries is
an aroused public sentiment, because
during zero weather this winter,
brewers and saloons were kept in op-
GRAFTON, while scores Of schools,
churches ana industries were closed
and homes were without fusl.
Altogether, Ohio liquor interests
face q situation with little Of eAcOur-
ageme0t in il.

If efforts We're made to dispose
of all hens when their best lay
ing days were over, large quan-
tity of poultry meat would be
placed on the market. All poor
Iy developed chickens should lie
culled out and sold for meat, also.
This would allow the Loultry
keepers to make the best use of
his grain by feeding it to young

INFLUENZA
RACES IN US.
Thousands Of Cases Reported
With Many Deaths.
THOSE WHO ARE MOST
SUSCEPTIBLE TO IT
e'FRUIT-A-TIVES"-The Wonderful
Fruit Medicine-Grearly Helps
To Resist This Disease.

The epidemic ofSpanish 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-
tions he can against contracting
the disease by care and personal
hygiene. Plenty of exercise should
be taken; the dietslould beregulated,
etc.
Spanish Influenza affects most
severely elderly persons and others
whose powers Of resistance are
weakened by illness, work or worry,
especially those who are rundown"
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 "Fruit-a-tives'' .
This wonderful fruit medicine is not
germ-killer. It is a body-builder
strength-malcr; q blood-purider ;
a power in protecting against the
rayagcs of disease.
g Fruit a tives" regulates the
Kidneys and bowels, causing these
organs to eliminate waste regularly
end naturally as nature intended.
"Fruit-a- tiyes" keeps the skin active,
and purilies and enriches the blood.
=" Fruit "a tives'' tones up and
Strengthens the organs Of digestion,
insuring food being properly digested
and assimilated.
Everyone can take ordinary pre-
cautions, avoid crowded places, and
use Fruit a tives'' regularly to
insure sound digestion, to keep the
bowels and kidneys regular and the
whole system in the best possible
condition. Then we are safe from
disease. ...t
