preachers and other professional men
of the state asking their assistance
in the campaign Cor membership. In
a letter which will shortly go to them
he declares that the movement "af-
tects vitally every person in the
SOUTH
"The South,' says Col. Mixson, lis
dependent on the farmer. When ad-
versity hits the farmer it hits the
whole south. None of us have forgot
ten the gloomy days of the fall of
1914 when the cotton market utterly
collapsed, with the south appealed to
the north to buy cotton at 10 cents a
pound as an act of charity. Business
was stagnated. Thousands upon thous
ands of men in the business world
were thrown out of employment.
Thousands suffered heavy cuts in sal
aries. Professional men were unable
to collect what was due them. There
was hardly a man, woman or child
In the south but that was affected.
Conditions did not improve a particle
until the. cotton market became
staple.
"II seems to me with the experience
of 1914 fresh in our minds all of our
people would be quick to see the ne

SPANISH INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives
Than American Loss in Battle.
Danger Not Over. Great Care
Necessary To Prevent Fur
Their Outbreak.

The appalling ravages Of Spanish
Influenza in this country are perhaps
best realized by the statement recent
ly made, that more deaths have re-
suited in little more than a month
from this disease than through our
whole eighteen months participation
in the battles of the European War.
Cur greatest danger. now, declare
authorities, is the American tendency
ito forget easily and to believe the
peril is over. Competent authorities
claim the coming of cold weather is
very apt to bring a return Of this d.
sease and there should be no let-up
throughout the winter months of the
following easily observed precautions,
remembering that Influenza is far
easier to prevent than cure.
Influenza is crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Inffu-
enza germs spread where ignorant or
careless persons sneeze or cough
without using handkerchief. Cover
up each cough or sneeze. Do not spit
on the floor, sidewalks in street cars
or public places. Avoid the use of
common drinking cups and roller tow
els in public places Breathe some
reliable gernicidal and antiseptic air
to destroy the germs that do find
Judgement in your nose and throat.
Remember, no safer precaution
against Influenza could be employed
IN this maner than to get from the
nearest drug store a complete Hyo-
mel Outfit consisting of a bottle Of
the Pure Oil of Hyomei and a little
vest pocket hard rubber inhaling de-
vice, into which a few drops Of the
oil are poured. You should carry this
inhaler about with you during the day
and each half hour or so put it in
your mouth and draw deep breaths of
its pure, healing germ killing air into |
the air passages of your nose, throat |
and lungs.
By destroying germs before they |
actually begin work in your blood, |
you may make yourself practically |
immune to infection.
All these suggestions about Spanish |
Influenza are equally true in the pre-
vention of colds, catarrh of nose and |
throat, bronchitis and even pneurnon-
Ia Don't become harmless. Do YOUR
part. Keep the germs away. You
may save yourself serious illness
and the loss of several weeks work. is
