Jessamine Republicans
Screaming Fer Committee

Frank w. Rice, Chairman, and four
others, walked out of meeting of the
Jessamine county Republican Com
mittee Saturday which Rice had called
for the purpose of deciding whether
the election of new committee would
be conducted February %, when the
delegates to the State Convention are
to be named, or deferred to later
date. The walkout was occasioned by
l.. D. Shearer's motion to declare
vacant the seat Of Thomas Woods,
of High Bridge, for non-attendance
and lack of interest.
After the walkout, the remaining
members continued the meeting Louis
M. Cook resigned as Secretary and
was made Chairman; John A. Baker
being elected SECRETARY. William H.
Wood was elected to succeed Thomas
Woods. 1t was decided that new
committee will be elected February
%. The significance of the proceed
lngs is said to be that County Judge
W3B. Buferd has lost control of the
committee and that there will be a
hot fight for it On February %.

If you get the influenza, see

Isn't it worth while, instead, to
take every precaution now,

Probably the best and first

During IAN epidemic, almost
wherever you go you are ex-

you are really well, the red

off and defeat disease germs.
But when you feel tired and run
down, when you feel all right eX-

is tired out too, and you are an
easy victim.
