Booze No Good for the Flu.

According to. DR.. Evans, member
of the Chicago Health Board and
medical expert for the Chicago Tri-
bune, the stories which were so
widely circulated regarding the use
of booze in the military. camps in
the treatment of influenza were fax
es and were put in circulation by
the liquor interests. Local physici-
ans agree with Dr.. Evans in the
opinion that booze taken for the Flu
is equivalent to pouring kerosene on
fire in an attempt to quench it.
The authorities of Hurley, however,
appear to think that booze must be
dispensed freely despite the Flu,
Judg ing from the fact that they have
again allowed the saloons of that
town to open up, despite the fact
that the Flu RACES to a serious de.
gree IN that community. -Ironwood

One of the factors which tend 10

Retirement of Liberty Bonds Begun.

Retirement Of Liberty bonds by
the treasury has begun. This was
revealed in the annual report Of
the treasury department for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1918.
A total Of $3.50, 900. 600 Of the
first, second and third bond issues
had been bought back by the treas
ury on Nov. I. This does not re-
present quite FIVE per cent Of each
issue which under the Liberty loan
act, the treasury is permitted to
buy back each year.
I 1t was indicated that after this
= year the full FIVE per cent Of each
issue would be retired. This will
eliminate the piling up of a great
sinking fund, reduce the interest
payments annually and permit Of
retirement Of all bonds on their
maturity date, 20 years hence.
Secretary McAdoo estimates that,
in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1919, public debt redemptions will
aggregate S695, 900, 600. The grand
total of expenditures for the year
is estimated at S27,7I8,128,o 900,
which approximately 81 900, 900, :
600 more than the estimated total
receipts.
The recent treasury announce
ment Of fifth war loan, therefore
was accepted to mean that the next
loan, subscribed for early in April,
1919, would be for S., 900, 900, 900.
This belief was based on calculations
of further reduction in expendi-
lures, officials said.
In the report, the secretary
strongly urges a continuation of
the war savings campaign as a
peace time measure of thrift. He
estimates that the 1919 series of
saving stamps should bring into the
government more than 81 25o, 900, =
600, or IS per cent more than dur
ing the last year.
Discovery and development of a
process for producing glycerine
synthetically by fermentation of
sugar is disclosed by the report.
The discovery was made by chem
lists attached to the bureau of in
ternal revenue and afforded the
assurance that during the latter
part of the war there would not be
a shortage of glycerine supply for
munitions manufacture.
The financial transformation from
peace to war was accomplished, Nc
Adoo declares, without "shock OF
financial disturbance of any kind.
The credit and business structure
of the nation remains sound and
strong"
In this connection the report
points out that:

SELL ROSES FOR R. C..
Money Received Will Be Used for
Topeka Canteen Service.

One of the real gifts to the Red
Cross is that of several thousand beau
tiful red roses given by James Hayes,
florist, at s19 Kansas avenue. Hayes
has given these roses to the Topeka
chapter of the Red Cross to be sold
and every penny derived from the
sale will go into the funds of the local
chapter for some special service to
the soldiers and sailors.
Mrs. Alvarado M. Fuller, chairman
of the canteen service for the To-
peka chapter. has engaged to sell the
roses all day Saturday. She has gath
cred all her canteen workers and di-
vided them into teams for the sale.
The sale will begin Saturday morning
at 9 o'clock and continue all day and
during the evening until all the roses
are gone. The workers expect to sell
a rose to every person walking on
Kansas avenue during the day.
No price will be asked for the flow
ers. To obtain a flower, each one
must make a gift to the Red Cross. a
man or woman without much money
will be given a rose for her gift as
gladly as one will be given the man
with a big bill. 1t all goes to help
the soldiers. to give them a little ex-
ira remembrance of Topeka and Kan
SaS.
