than last winter.
That Flu" is very contagious has
been proved conclusively. The, Kan

to isolate all Flu" suspects if an cpl

and many other states are getting
ready to fight the Flu"
The Flu" is not only dangerous to
life during the illness period, but it
seems to leave the entire body weak
and enervated; the head swims, the
nervous system is affected and fire.

PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS.

When the United States asked the
young men of the country to rally to
the national standard during the war,
the draft was found to be one of the
best medical detectives that could be
imagined Thru it the standard of
health among the young men of the
country was quickly and surely as
certained.
Altogether, out of the nearly 3,00o,-
900 men who were picked by the draft,
5000 were found to be tuberculous.
These men. enough to make up more
than two divisions of soldiers, had to
be rejected. They were unfit to take
up arms for their country and, in fact,
were a danger to their comrades.
tuberculosis is one of the gravest
problems America has to solve today.
It's death toll is enormous. Its sick
toll is even greater. Every year at
least $50, 600 die of tuberculosis in the
United States. For every death there
are eight open tubercu1ous cases re-
ported. That means over 100000
persons have the disease.
tuberculosis can be prevented and
it can be cured. That is the burden OF
| the great educational campaign now be-
ing waged by the National Tuberculo-
sis association and the 1000 state and
| local organizations affiliated with it.
The rapid growth of tuberculosis in
! the country. especially with the reac-
ton from the war at hand, means that
more extensive educational work is
LA CT he a ND
such a campaign has been planned.
! To obtain funds to teach everyone
that tuberculosis can be prevented

ceptable drink. Ordinary cider will
never develop more than five per cent
OF alcohol. You must get crab apple
cider If you aspire to make something
stronger.
At either of the stages mentioned,
the cider may be bottled, like wine,
and so kept in an air-tight condition
and in q cool place for a long time.
1t is evident that the amateur does
not stand much chance of carrying
out this process with real success
Generally. the best he can do is to buy
fresh cider from a farmer and drink
it before the acetic acid begins to
form. Even if he has cold storage
facilities, most of the cider that he
might buy from farmers would not
serve the purpose of storage be-
cause it would probably not have been
pressed under the right conditions or
kept under the right conditions until
it came into his hands.
If you wish to have good cider this
winter, your best plan would be to buy
a barrel of cider from some expert
cider maker-not an ordinary farmer.
Be sure that the cider was made in
October or November, that it is put
UP in a good whisky or wine barrel.
and that It has been kept in a cool cell
lar. Then put It in your own cellar,
If you are sure the temperature there
will stay below -forty-five degrees. If
you are not sure of that, rent a home
for your little cider barrel in some To-
cal cold storage plant By Christmas
you will have something.

had not heard Everett come in.
1t was dark gloomy afternoon. Rain
had been falling in a sort of drizzle
all day. the sort of a rain that gets on
ones nerves. 1 wandered into the
library Evidently he did not hear
me. The door had not been quite
closed, altho am positive he thought
it was. and my slippered feet made
no noise on the thick rug.
He was sitting by the table, a pic
ture of Leola before him. When
spoke he opened a drawer and hur-
riedly showed it in. He had no idea
I had seen, I knew by his actions.
I was already nervous and rniser-
able. And the sight of him sitting
there with her picture when I sup
posed him at the office hurt me dread
fully. But this time I said nothing.
simply apologized for my intrusion and
withdrew. Everett was very puncti-
lfous in all such matters, and had in
sisted from the first that we respect
each others privacy. I did not realize
how very wise he was and often re-
belled, but now I can understand many
things that then seemed foolish-and
one of them is that every person in
the world is entitled to certain
amount of privacy.
That night he went out directly
after dinner, and did not return until
long after midnight. All the long,
lonely evening 1 thought of him and
Leola, instead of reading or practising
as he had suggested. Had he not
done so I might have kept busy. But
declared to myself that I would not
be dictated to; that I would do as j
| pleased. So wandered thru the rooms

was admitted in Topeka by Robert

return from Russia, where the Boil

There, as in America, France or any

desiring power to inculcate into the

everything can be equalized thru the
medium of a six-hour day, nationaltza-

present form of government.
That was done following the French
revolution for about twenty-four
hours. But people had to be gov

and application at its command. To
get these brains a government must
provide a reward. The Bolshevik gov
