Lamar Boys in Germany.

Word is gradually getting back from
all the boys now in foreign countries
from this county and it is becoming
pretty generally understood that most
of them are in divisions that have been
allotted to the army of occupation.
Those will be in Germany for an in
definite period, and will include a
number of our well known young men.
The list of known dead and severely
wounded is now almost complete, and
few more Prowers county casualties
have been added. Simpson Bragg of
Holly was reported among the severe
y wounded the first of the week. All
the boys still in the camps in this
country are being rapidly returned
home and the demobilization will soon
be complete so far as they are con-
cerned. Several of the boys who left
here in tn Octobr draft returned from
Camp Kearny this week.

DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY
The w. J. Johnston Store Broke Into
in Early Evening but Burglars
Get Nothing but Good Scare.

Perhaps the most daring burglary
ever attempted in Lamar was tried on
Tuesday evening just after the stores
closed at six o'clock. The local officers
had been receiving notices that gang
was headed this way, and had their
eyes on several suspicious strangers
in town that afternoon. When the
night shift goes on between six and
seven they consulted and were laying
plans to keep them under watch all
night, but Of course expected nothing
to be done until towards midnight or
later. However, while they We're still
talking they received word that the
attempt to pull off the big show had
already been made, and they started
out after the suspects.
There We're three men in the deal
One stood at the drinking fountain
just after closing time, and gave the
signal to the two in the alley back of
the First National Bank that Marshal
Daniel had left the street to go to the
city hall The two then got "A ladder
in the alley, climbed to the roof of the
Cadc building, crossed the Johnston
block and let themselves down on the
roof of the Golden Rule building. From
there they easily broke into the second
story of the Johnston dry goods store.
However, ]. NJ. Johnston had not yet
left the store and when he heard them
overhead he yelled and they quickly
ran away. After the capture of the
suspects, the one who stood at the
fountain was identified by parties who
saw him give sign towards the alley.
He broke down and confessed, but the
other two still stoutly maintain their
innocence.

TOWN TO OPEN UP
The Flu Epidemic is Subsiding and
Most Lines of Restricted Busi-
ness and the Churches
viii Open.

The reports of constantly decreas-
ing number of flu cases in Lamar and
the county, and the small number of
patients at the Emergency hospital
has so encouraged the authorities that
il has been decided to open up again
in most all lines. Accordingly Mayor
Strain has issued proclamation al
lowing the picture shows, churches,
lodges, and such to open beginning
with next Monday, December %. In
fact the only thing prohibited at the
present time is dances. The public
school board has voted to open the
schools the first Monday in January,
and the town will then be practically
normal again. Owing to the expert
ence Of other cities Lamar authorities
have been slow to take off the ban,
and all citizens should exercise great
care not only for their own protection,
but because at the least sign Of a re-
ncwal of the epidemic the ban will go
on again and tighter than ever.

Slipped a Cog.

In a rush of getting to press last
week the Register makeup man pulled
a bone" and ran in some old boiler
plate sent out by the Gunter commit
tee last August boosting the governor
for the primary nomination of the
democratic party. Even at that we
were no slower than our democratic
friends for they are just beginning to
realize what good advice that would
have been.

New York, Dec ga flight across the

of transoceanic flight has been made be-

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
By DIR. L. W. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,

Keep the system in good order, take
plenty Of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
TO keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
1t Is best to take vegetable pill every
other day, made up of May-apple, aloes,
talap, and sugar-coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden
onset of what appears like hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously Of hot lemonade. If pain develops
In head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks
Of lemonade. The pneumonia appears
In a most treacherous way, when the
Influenza victim is apparently recover
ing and anxious to leave his bed. In re-
covering from bad attack of influenza
or pneumonia the system should be
built up with good herbal tonic, such
