For the human body has
indeed been through a severe
conflict, a siege that will tax
and test the last ounce of
strength and endurance. Even
after complete recovery, the
task of repairing the damage
and restoring the lost vitality
is a slow and oftentimes dis
couraging one, for it seems
that you will just never be
entirely free from the fatigue
and depression that follows
as an after-effect of the flu.
Your whole body seems out
of gear, for the damaging eff
fects of the flu seem to per-
meate the entire system,
leaving you weak and sore,
your nerves all unstrung, the
appetite far below normal,
the stomach upset, and the
entire vitality at low ebb.
Then, too, there is always
danger of a recurring attack,
as well as the increasing liza
bility to succumb to almost
any ordinary illness, while
you are in such a weakened
condition. Not until your full
strength and vitality have
been restored can you con-
slider yourself entirely out of
danger, for your disease
resistance should ut all times
be kept up to the highest
mark.
The damage that has been

done to your system by this
disease must be repaired, and
new tissue must be built to
supply the waste that has
taken place. Nature is q
great healer, but before she
can do her work thoroughly
such obstacles as are in the
way must be removed so that
the full effect of her func-
tons can be obtained. First
of all the blood, which has
been impoverished and weak
ened, must be built up to .
healthy and robust condition,
so that an abundant supply Of
this rich, red life-giving fluid
can be sent coursing through
the veins to revitalize the
system.
You can readily see, there
fore, the Importance of giving
nature all possible assistance
in restoring your system and
repairing the damage which
flu has wrought. If you wish
to regain your lost strength
and once again enjoy the ro-
bust vitality of perfect health,
first of all rebuild the blood
supply and thus give nature
the aid that she so badly
needs.
S. S. S. is the one remedy
that is so useful in repairing
the damage done by the flu,
because it promptly enriches
the blood supply and fills the
veins with new life and vital
ity, which in turn rebuild the
waste tissue throughout the
system. You should begin at
once to take S. S. s., which
will do so much in putting the
system back into a vigorous.
healthy condition.

SPECIAL ELECTION IN SCHOOL
DISTRICT NO. II.

Statement by the Lamar School
Board.)
The election to be held at Central
School building. Saturday. March

To the Electors of School District No
IA:
We wish to call your attention to
the Special School District Election
TO be held at the Central School
building. in Lamar. on Saturday.
viii be submitted to you as follows:
First-Shall the School Board be
authorized to issue $4,000 of ; IL
bonds for the purpose of meeting the
deficiency in the cost of the improve
ments commenced last year and now
nearly completed?
Second-Shall the School Board be
authorized to issue 10000 of bonds
for the purpose of constructing new
buildings?
Third-Shall the School Board be
authorized to purchase a site or
sites for the erection of a house or
houses for the use of the Superin-
tendent of Schools and Principal of
the High School?
The first proposal is made neces-
sary by the fact that the bond issue
of $4,000. voted last spring. proved
inadequate to cover the necessary
cost of the addition to the High
school building. the gymnasium. and
equipment for both. besides the al
terations and improvements that had
TO be made in the heating. plumbing
and lighting of the old part of the
High school building. The entire
cost of all of these improvements has
amounted to approximately s55.000.
We received on the $4,000 bond is
sue a premium of about $4,000, or
$4,000 in all. thus leaving a short
age OF $4,000 This shortage must
be met either by direct taxation or
by a bond issue. The board believes
the bond issue preferable. and is
therefore submitting II to the tax

Muddling The Trade Figures

Prominent importers and exporters
of New York charge that since last
September the Treasury at Washing
ton has changed five times the method
of computing the value of imports in
to this country. As n result the sta
tistics covering that period are prac-
tically valueless for purposes of COM
parison. In some months the foreign
exchange rate has been applied, and
in other periods the par value of for
eign currencies has been used as the
measure of value. AS an instance of
how misleading the reports may be,
it is said that the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce has estimated
imports 1T S93,OOO,OOO more than for
December, which, if correct, would set
a new high record. 1t is stated, how
ever, that had the figures for the two
months been based on similcr meas
hres of value there would have been
no increase shown.

NEW SUGAR BEET CONTRACT
A. B. S. Co. Gives Farmers Choice of
Sure Thing or a Gamble Tor
Bigger Prices.

The A. b. S. Co. this week, on ac-
Int of the complaints of some grow
that they were not allowed to par
sicipate in the big profi.l of the in
dustry, issued u new contract based on
market price of sugar and percentage
of sugar in the beets. rhc SIP per ton
for Ia per cent beet with sugar sell
ing at S11 per hundred pounds is tax
en- as the basis and the table of prices
goes up and down according to any
variation either in price or sugar con-
tent, These prices wary from $3.50
for l2 per cent beet with sugar at
IA cents up to S24.64 for 20 per
cent beet with sugar at Is cents. "Any
variation in the average marhc. price
of sugar from the sugar prices schedui-
cd in the published table and any vari-
alton in sugar contents of bcets shall
correspondingly vary the price of the
beets." In other words the figure ;
will be exact and not Jumped in on the
nearest half per cent as heretofore.
This gives the farmers who a-e not
satisfied to take the sure thing con-
tract at Sl2 per ton a sporting chance
at the big profits if there are any in
the game the coming season, but at
the same time they must take their
chances on a decline of market or
weather conditions that will make the
beets unuprofitable.
The new contract does not super
sede the old one but furnishes the
farmer his choice between the two.
Those who have already signed the S12
flat contract can change to the new
one II they desire. In most other re-
spects the contracts are very similar
except the new contract being depen-
dent on sugar percentage the irriga-
ton clause is eliminated and that ques-
ton is left to the choice of the grow
er in the matter.
This additional contract ought to go
far towards settling the controversy,
as it gives an opportunity for the
grower to take his chance between n
gamble on the future demand for su-
gar and the highest flat rate that has
ever been paid in this state. Surely
if farmer wants to grow beets he
can have two chances at the market
which is one more than he gets on
any other crop.

WASHINGTON NOTES
To Probe PaImer's Sugar Price Fixing

To Probe Palmer's Sugar Price Fixing
Washington, Mar 17-(Special cor
respondence)-By a strict party vote
of 1862 to 124 the House has adopted
resolution authorizing the Judiciary
Committee to inquire into the part
played by Attorney General Palmer
in fixing the price for Louisiana su-
gar, and to ascertain upon what au-
thority of law he based his action. 1t
is openly charged by the Democrats
that the passage of the resolution is
an indirect impeachment of Mr.. Palm
er; and in fact, it may have that eff
feet. The committee is directed not
only to ascertain the facts, but to
make "such recommendation as it
may deem proper and desirable to sub

ment would have to be by vote of the
House itself, but all such proceedings

"Sovereign Rights" VS.. Economic
Rights

Senator William E. Borah of Idaho,
draws a sharp distinction between
sovereign rights" and economic
rights" when those terms are applied
to the status of Japan in Shantung.
During the debate in the Senate on the
Shantung reservation Senator Hitch
cock attempted to get endorsement for
a substitute in which it was stated
that the United States, in ratifying the
treaty, understands that Japan is to
return to China all Sovereign rights"
she now holds in Shantung. Senator
Borah contended that such sovereignty
would be a mere shell while Japan
still holds in her possession the valu-
able mining and railroad concessions
which she gets under the terms of the
treaty. The Hitchcock substitute was
defeated overwhelmingly.
