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.
Our greatest danger, now, declare
authorities, is the American tendency
to 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 a crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Influ-
enza germs spread where ignorant or
careless persons sneeze or cough
without using a 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 germicidal 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 n,aner than to get from the
nearest drug store a complete Hyo-
mel Outfit consisting of a bottle of
the Pure Oil of Hyomei and 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 m
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 thew
actually begin work IN youR Bod,

every other door in France and all
kinds of intoxicating liquors can be
bought. The French are all moder-
ate drinkers and can take glass of
wine and drink and talk all day, but
the Americans can't do that. II is
forbidden to sell the American soldier
any strong drinks in Paris, so you
hardly ever see any drunken Ameri-
can soldiers and the conduct Of the
American soldiers in France is going
to win a name for them that all fu-
ture generations viii be proud of.

be but few Americans to marry in
France, although the French girls are
trying to cop few of the boys. The
American soldiers are called the mil
lionaire soldiers in some places as they
seem to have lots of money and there
is no doubt the American soldier Is
the best dressed soldier in the world.
The French soldier gets only FIVE

By the way, this coal strike is en-
phasizing the fact and the claim that
the people of the world are now more
closely related than ever before When
the miners quit digging coal factories
run out of coal and shut down throw
ing men out of work. The product of
these factories are handled by dealers
all over the nation. Whenever they
cannot get the articles to sell they
stop advertising in the local papers.
This paper has been hit. Therefore we
think the coal strike ought to be set
