SPANISH INFLUENZA
IS EPIDEMIC HERE
Many Cases Develop Into Dead
~ Pneumonia. Easier to Pre-
vent Than Cure. How to
Avoid.

The constant daily increase Of
Spanish influenza reported by local
physicians shows clearly that many
people are failing to take the simple
ordinary infection. For. while Influen>
"a, after it's development, is some
times difficult to cure, it is said to be
"a preyentable disease.
The best plan is to begin treatment
before the first symptom starts. For
no other disease will develop so
quickly or spread so rapidly. You may
feel fine today-be sick tomorrow and
lose week or more of work You will
indeed be fortunate If pneumonia does
not develop.
It Is claimed than influenza Is
caused by germ in the cir that every
breath you take is likely to draw them
into your nose and throat: that you
can prevent the disease by killing the
germs before they spread throughout
your body There is probably no safer
or surer treatment than to go to the
nearest drug store and get one of the
famous Hyonei InhaIing Outfits. con-
sistfng of a bottle of the pure Oil of
Hyomei and little vest pocket hard
rubber inhaling device into which o
few drops of the Oil of Hyomei are
poured.
Just breathe this Oil of Hyomef
deep into your nose, throat and lungs
and then every particle of air that en-,
tiers your breathing organs will be
charged with an antiseptic, healing
balsm.
You can't do this too often. No ordi-
nary night and morning gargling or
throat spraying will be sufficient so
l.,ri ha 10 in,
constant contact with infection. The
Hyomef inhaler, is small and can be
conviently carried in a handbag or
vest pocket Every half hour or so
throughout the day take It out and
darw few breaths OF its pure heal
ing air into your nose and throat By
doing this you should avoid infection
ard check the further spread of the
disease even though you are coming
in direct contact with 1t. This is an
Inexpensive treatment as the inhaler
will last a lifetime and further sup
plies of the Oil of Hyomei can be had
at any drug store for few cents.
Note: Oil of Hyomei, so strongly
recommended above, is not a new dis
covery. but is the application of an
old and time-tried treatment to new
disease Hyomei has been a standard
in the treatment OF catarrh and colds
for almost twenty years and Is sold
by druggists everywhere. Hundreds
OF people in Keohuk and vicinity keep
a Hyomei outfit with inhaler on the
bathroom shelf for regular winter use
IF you have one get it out and use it,
if you haven't one, go to the nearest
drug store and get one today It is
the duty of every person. not only for
his own sake. but for the community,
to do all in his power to prevent furth-
or spread or TINS epidemic anu

Continued from PAGE ID

John G. Ryan has caused marked i'm
provement.
Vast profits in aeroplane produc-
ton was revealed, but Zone held to
be in bad faith. The Dayton-Wright
company, it was estimated. should
make over $6,000,000 on contracts up
to next March; the Ford Motor COM
pany over $4,000 900 on contracts to
January; the Packard company over
Sc, 100000 on contracts to January.
mental letter held that more than
half of these profits were taken in
taxes by the government.
Hughes himself pointed out that
manufacturers figured on a liberal
profit margin and that there was
small incentive to economic under
the cost accounting system.
Hughes found that there had been
some bad organization work and in
some cases contracts were given to
poorly equipped plants over vel,
equipped ones. The report showed
that contracts withdrawn from the
Engel Aircraft company were re-
awarded after Secretary of War
Bakers brother had resigned from
the concern.
Neither political party found much
for campaign material in the Hughes
report. One phase eagerly seized
upon by politicians was that Hughes
showed Henry Ford persisted in en-
ploying men of German origin.
Gregory's report added that the re-
suit of Ford's factory had been fully
up to requirements.

T. w. Tomlinson of Denver, sec

The call states that postwar rel
adjustments will affect more VII

stock and agricultural industries
than those engaged in other indus]

They are really sitting in bath

constant stream Of water with a

through the tub, purifying and

be several measures aimed to
place returned soldiers and other
men or Washington's idle land.
Governor Ernest Lister, it is
thought, may recommend the or

Washington women hope for the

elections, creation of an office OF

an industrial home for women,
and the construction of a home in
western Washington for the feeble
minded.
Among the more important
measures to engage the Utah legis-

the workmen's compensation law
which would make it compulsory
