THE FLU"

When your back is broken and your
eyes are blurred.
And YOUR shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And YOUR tonsils squeak and your
hair gets dry.
And you're doggone sure you re go
ing to die:
And you are scared you amt and
you're 'fraid you will
Just drag your bed and have your
chill,
And pray the Lord to see you
through;
For you've got the Flu" boy: you We
got the Flu"
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes fiat,
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas Cat.
And your life is long and dismal
curse.
And your food tastes like a hard
boiled hearse;
When your lattice aches and your
heads a-buzz,
And nothing is as il ever wuz,
You've got sthe Flu" boy; you've
got the Flu"
What is it like-the Spanish Flu?"
Ask, my brother, for I've been thru.
1t is misery out of despair;
1t pulls your teeth and curls your
hair;
1t thins your blood and breaks your
bones;
And fills your craw with groans and
means;
we'll
Some call it FLU call 1t hell"
We've had ours-haye you?

Thirty animals already have died
OF anthrax. The state department
fears serious consequences unless the
quarantine regulations are enforced to
the letter and the farmers cooperate
fully in the disposal Of earcasses OF
diseased animals.
Mr.. Whitehurst said anthrax Is as
much OF menace to livestock as the
foot and mouth disease. In the ami
mails affected in Washington and
Craig no symptoms OF disease ap-
peared until the animal. dropped and
died. The state fought and conquered
similar outbreak of anthrax In east
