Fire Destroys Store and
Home.

The hardware store and residence
Belonging to D. P. Kent, of Bur
kettsville was completely destroyed
by fire early Sunday morning, and
for time the entire village seemed
threatened by the flames.
The fire was discovered about
O'Clock Sunday morning by Joe
Werling, the hotel man. He gave
the alarm, but the flames had al
ready geained such headway that it
was impossible to save the hard
ware store, which Was soon mass
of flames. The Kent family living
in two story building next to the
store, were barely able to escape
with a few pieces of wearing APP
parel. They were unable to save
any of the furniture.
For time other buildings were
threatened, as strong wind was
blowing, but snow on the roofs ot
adjoining buildings prevented the
FIRE from doing much damage.
Buckets of water were thrown or
the other buildings, and on grair
elevator nearby, to prevent the fir
from spreading.
The loss to Mr.. Kent will be
heavy one. In addition to losine
all household gods, his hardwar
stock was valued at about $500
and the building at $4,000, with
toal insurance of only $500.
The FIRE is supposed have start
ed from a defective fue in the hard
ware store.

SUGAR Used In Beer,

Washington, D. C.-In 1916 the
brewers of the United States used
549,810,000 pounds of sugar in the
manufacture of beer. This is equal
to at least 27 pounds for each of the
100000 families of the country.
With the difficulty housewives have
had this winter in getting sugar, it
is the widespread belief that the
homes, rather than the brewers,
should have the first chance.

Bond Buying and Saving.

Bond Buying and Saving.
One Of the most gratifying re-
suits of the Liberty Loan cam
paigns to date is the impetus the
saving spirit is gaining with the
people in general. Most pur-
chasers of Liberty bonds are pay
ing for them cut of tEeir every
day earnings. Comparatively
few have gone into their savings
accounts to meet their payments.
This is what the government
ncst desires.
Swings banks gene rally
thrsughtout the country the last
yeae shewea an increase in saw
ings deposits despite the fact that
something near SIX billions of dol
lars worth of Liberty bonds had
been purchased.
This same condition was exper.
fenced in England. For instance
in 1916. although purchasing bill
lions Of dollars worth of wal
bonds, the small savings bank de.
positors increased their deposits
more tLxn $0o. GOO, 600. And the
Englishman as . rule is notably
profigate.
The English are making their
war bonds permanent invest,
ments.
America will % well TO follow
their example.
But every man whOselAs q bond
discourages this plan. And ev'
cry merchant who accepts a Lib
erty Bond IN exchange for mer,
chandise. or in payment of an ac'
count, adds to this discourage
ment many fold.
Moreover they are digging I
pitfall in Uncle Sans financia
path By depressing the marke
value Of the bends and making i
more difficult for him to dispos'
of succeeding issues.

SPANISH INFLUENZA WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1889-9O Only Then 1t Came
From Russia by Way of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining OK
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier. VickS
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should be applied over the
throat chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open the pores
Then VapoRub should be rubbed In
over the parts until the skin is red
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses Of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, az
the heat of the body liberates the In
gradients in the form of vapor&.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath
carry the medication directly TO the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRub is absorbed through ana
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this 10
a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezfng or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding orowds-commo1
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty Of
exercise in. the open air, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irrf-
tate the lining Of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very flrse
sign Of cold. For head cold, melta
little VapoRub in spoon and inhals
the vapors, or better still, use VapOs
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full Of boiling wa
ter, put in half teaspoon Of VapoRuk
from time to time--keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-Vick's vapoRub is the dis.
covery Of a North Carolina druggist
who found how to combine, in salve
form, Menthol and Camphor with suck
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebs, etc.. so that when the salve is ap~
piled to the body heat, these ingredk-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pors.
vapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England and
few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other sec
tons of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
Over six million jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. 1t is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since 1t is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmtul
effects.

Go to Bed and Stay Quiet -
Take a Laxative Eat Plenty
of Nourishing Food-Keep
Up your Strength = Ma
ture Is the Only "Cure"
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC


Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearances
of grip, or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemlcS
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic In AZ
B. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had it's attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in $4,000.
There is no occasion for panic-infiu-
enza itself has a very low percentage
of fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
N. @. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in a rundown
conditiOn-thOse who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it is now called,
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching, feverishpess, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling Of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 1O4,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining of the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually hard cough,
especially bad at night; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances Of severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to Others-take
purgative, eat plenty Of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc., may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for influenza-the disease must
run it's course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack If only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza SO weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger OF pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes inflammation Of the middle
ear. or heart affections. For these rea-
sons it is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
If YOU are over so or not strong stay
in bed four days or more, according to
the severity Of the attack.

It's Acid-Stomach
That Makes Millions
Sick and Suffer

Life IL dark-not worth much to the
man or woman with an acid-stomach.
Acid-stomach kills Hope, Ambition,
Energy, Courage. 1t saps the strength OF
the strongest body-impoverishes the
blood-causes untold suffering-makes
millions weak, unfit and brings on pre-.
mature old age.
You know what acid-mouth does to
teeth and gums-how the acid literally
eats through the hard enamel, causing
the teeth to decay. Just imagine, them
what havoc an acid stomach must do to
the delicate organization Of the stomach.
Millions Of people are weak and unfit,
suffering all the time, in one way or an
other, from superacidity or acid-stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick.
Just ailing. Going through life weak,
hstless, dragging one foot after another.
They're nervous and irritable; lack power
and punch, frequently have severe at
tacks of binding, splitting headaches;
subject to fits Of melancholia and mental
depression. And nearly always their
stomaehs are out of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach pains
digestion poor-neyer getting anywhere
near the full strength from their food.
So, you see it's just this-acid-stom-
ach-that is holding so many people back
-sapping up the strength they should
get from their food-taking away their
Yigor and Vitality-leaYing them weak
and inefficient.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1918-11-14

Get rid of the excess acid. That's
the secret Of good health and is the only
way to obtain good digestion and assim-
iiation. 1t is the right way to be well and
Keep strong. Ordinary tonics won't do
any lasting good. The best they can do
is to spur up your appetite. When the
stimulating effects wear of, you are
worse off than ever.
A modern remedy makes it possible
to remove excess acid without the slight
est discomfort. 1t is called EATONIC.
In the form of pleasant tasting tablets.
Their action in the stomach is a good
deal ike piece of blotting paper taking
up drop OF ink-they literally absorb
the Injurious excess acid and carry it
away through the intestines.
Begin using EATONIC right now-to-
day-and get on the road to bounding,
vigorous. vibrant health. Thousands upon
thousands CT people who have used
EATONLC are enthusiastic il its praise.
They say they never dreamed that any
thing could bring them such quick relief.
EATONIC is absolutely guaranteed so
get big Doc box from your druggist. If
1t does not help you your money will be
refunded. II your druggist does not keep
EATONIC, send your name and address to
the Eatonie Remedy Company, 1918 $.
Wabash Ave, Chicago, ILL.,, and they will
at once mail you SOC box and you can
send them the money for 1t after you re-
cetye 1t.
