EAIE'H TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE Fl. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight German or germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
If we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
Of May-apple, leaves OF aloe, root of
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis OF
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
lets were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
|termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
|be given regularly to strengthen the sys-
Item and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
IAnuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepid } in which table,
spoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
IN a quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
the system, obtain at the drug store
good iron tonic, called Irontic " Tab
lets, or that well known herbal tonic,
d.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

the male students of any normal or high school, shall be organized into a cadet company or companies. No ex- ception is made. It is true that at the time the law was adopted, it was not considered probable that high school students would be taken into military service, and hence no provision has been made to cover cases of this kind. It is therefor apparent that there was no intention on the part of the 1egis- lature to exempt any male student 14 years of age or over.
 However the High School Cadet Commission shall prescribe the char acter and amount of military training and instruction to be given and shall fix the minimum amount of time to be devoted to said work. They also have the right to fix the credits for such work done. The commission therefore would give credit to such student for the work already done and could fix the minimum amount of work for such students who had not received such training
 T would take the liberty to suggest that in the appointment Of officers of the cadet companies, the students who lad received such military training in actual service in the United States army, should be given preference above those students who have not had mili- tary training."

This leads him to invest, so that when he is no longer able to serve his com pany, he has an investment that serves to bring him a good income in later years of life"
 Railroad officials in the Twin Cities assert that it is surprising to know that railroad operating men are well informed in agricultural matters. It may be- they say, because passengers in the northwest are always discussing crops; or, in the case of freight crews, it may be because they are responsible for the movement of so much grain to the market.

RAILROAD MEN BUY FARMS
Minneapolis Tribune)

Extraordinary activity in the pur- chase and sale of farm lands in Minne- sota in the last three months, has re- vealed much interesting information in regard to the present ownership of farm lands, according to Minneapolis farm land dealers.
 One fact disclosed is that railroad men in recent years have become heavy investors in farming properties. This is particularly true of conductors and engineers.

FORMER SOLDIERS NOT EXEMPT FRO|N
 SCHOOL DRILLING

In spite of the fact that many young men now attending normal schools and high schools in the state have had see- vice in the army, they are all going to be forced to take the military course required at such schools.
 The question of exempting such boys who had been in the army. from the course was raised by c. O. Case, stare superintendent of education. He asked Francis J. K. Mcbride, assistant at torney general for an opinion on the subject.
 MT Mcbride holds there is no loop hole in the law creating the courses through which the ex soldiers may es- cape the military training. In his contention that all shall take the course, MT. Mcbride had the following to say:

 Above are two of T. Jefferson's feet; other is less than four. One gets $10O a week in the movies because he's so long, and the other gets kidded to beat the band because he's so short.

It is estimated that were Long Legs and Little Fellow to take the same number of steps, starting at New York, Long Legs would be in Denver by the time Little Fellow reached Toledo.

Somebody Is Always Getting the Long
 End of Life

Maybe T. Jefferson knew what he was talking about when he said all men are created free and EQUAL, and maybe they are so created, but they don't stay that way long.
 Sooner, or later, some are going to get the long end of life.
 Some are going to live years and years, and others will get less than day of life.
 Some are going to be tall and others short
 No two will be exactly alike.
 One lengthy individual will have to buy double the cloth for a suit of clothes while another, Mister Runt, will get a nickles worth for suit and overeoat.

PURE BRED sIREs

= We recognize that large per cent of the Salt River dairymen believe in the use of pure bred sires, but there are too many who either z use bulls that are grades" or scrubs" Dairy men of the latter class are impractical rob- bers. They rob themselves of future produc- tion. They rob the dairymen of tomorrow; E and they rob the children yet unborn; because America will be short of dairy products, how ever many good cows are bred.
 8 Do you as dairynen often think that un- born heifers will largely produce the milk and butterfat five years from now? That herd sire you using will infuse fifty per cent of the good or bad points in these future cows.
 You go to sales of dairy cows and see them sell as low as $50.00 and as high as $2OO.OO. There is a reason. Could we but know, nine times out of ten those good cows are sired by a pure-bred bull. No one wants to sell $50 cow. No good dairyman will buy it. He wants the $200.00 kind. A good cow will pay for itself in one year, but poor cow will not make profit enough above her feed to pay for herself, if she lives to the voting age
 If dairymen who are still using grade bulls were told by their neighbors of new variety of cotton, wheat, or corn that would add 20 to 50 per cent to their crop, they would pay fancy price for some of the seed. As pure-bred bull of good ancestry in milk and butter production will do this, why not use the same good business sense in breeding your dairy COWS?
 Exhaustive tests show that good bull used on herd of 25 grade COWS will, through his ho;C al milk production during the active production of the herd Two or three hundred dollars invested in good bull will bring astonishing returns on the capital invested. Would you not buy oil stock or mining stock at $lOO share if you were certain that it would rise to 5000 or $15.O0 share in value? Why not invest right in your own line of business, and get some of these dairy profits? You insure yourselves, house, automobile and farm crops. Why not insure your future dairy herd by the use of pure-bred sire?
 We hope that if you have no pure-bred bull you will get one. When you do so, don't buy because of color; buy production. Don't mix breeds If your herd is largely Jersey, buy Jersey bull. If Holstein, get one of that breed Don't buy herd sire that has been in service unless you are reasonably sure he is from an :. ' abortion-free herd. Don't depend on some obody's say-so as to the purity of the bull. Get .ssathe registry papers or certificate of entry . Don't wait to see if the dairy business is going --en the bum before buying bull. Dairying syiIl be big business in the valley as long as water comes down the Salt River. Is4

CONCERNING "POET-HATERS"

man who did so much for others by writ homely things of life!
 There have been and doubtless will be again greater poets than James Whit comb Riley, yet there has never been any one who has been closer to the hearts of the people than he and one other who wrote much in the same manner and vein, Eugene Field.
 Great poets, great writers, make ot course an ordinary appeal to most peo- pie, but we seldom get close to them; seldom get near to them; we don't know how they live or how they feel but with things that 1fe know and understand, and who appear to live in the very same world as ourselves, we have a feeling of true sympathy and true comradeship. They can express in words what we may only feel, yet somehow they do not appear to live on higher plane
 Little orphan girls may not be famil- jar objects to many of us, yet after we've read about Little Orphant Annie,' in the way James Whitcomb Riley puts it, we feel very well acquainted with her and like the Little Boy who wouldn't say his prayers we tremble less the "gobble-uns" will "git'' us eff we don't watch out
 There are precious Few of us who have not felt lump rise in our threats and & mist dim our eyes when we have read that Riley poem which he called Away; and since he has wandered into the unknown land' it comes back with an additional meaning.
 'I cannot say and I will not say
 That eh is dead; he is just-away"
 It's a curious thing, you know, how there are some people whom we never can think of as dead; they were so
