Keep the Liver Active, Kid- neys Regulated and Blood Pure With Dr. Hitchcock 5 Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders.
Do These Things and Your System Will Be Strong Enough to Resist the h. fluenza Germs.

The great risk of contracting inf1u- enxa is in not keeping the system in the proper condition to resist the Flu" germs.
 The beginning. when the Flu" germs get in their deadly work. is when the liver becomes inactive and one gets bilious or constipated. CalomeL or other ordinary laxatives, do not go far enough. What affects the liver also affects the kidneys and blood. and to put the entire system back to its normal resistive powers, you must treat the kidreys and blood as we'll as the liver.
 Dr. Hitchcock's Liver. Kidney & Blood Powders tone up the liver, stim- ulate the kidneys to healthy action, thus purifying the blood and increasing youy germ resisting power. 25 cents at all dr1ggists.

ln 1898 Dr. A. L. Reusing of Akron, Ohio, had just completed his course at medical college. He had paid his way through medical college by working nights as a. frlcgrapher. Overwork and over-I study had undermined his health, and he consulted many specialists. but they all pronounced him in- curable and said that he couid kve eoly a few months.
 But Dr. Reusing determined tha4 If he must die, he would find the cause, since none of the physicianA could diagnose his disease posi- lively.
 Knowing that without oxygen the body dies, he began thorough investigation of the effect of oxy- een on the blood. He studied Prof. Virchow's famous ACeil Theory" which proves that the body is only a collection of cells and that there are twelve cell-salts that nourish and maintain the cells of the body. Just as flower droops and dies for lack of water, % the cells wither and die for lack of their natural ccll-salts.
 He knew that the red blood cells cary the iron in the blood and that iron attracts oxygcn just as a magnet attracts steel He learned that by increasing the amount of iron in the blood, the iron at tracted the oxygen from the air in the lungs into the blood exactly as the magnet attracts steel. He found that oxygen oxidizes or burns up the impurities, germs, and torn-down cells that are found 3n the blood.
 Through careful research he learned fhe cell-salts that nature requires to feed the cells and main- tain health. This led to the dis eovery that the health of the body h governed entirely by the health Of the blood and that If the blood . rich in oxygen, plasma and iron, md supplied with the natural cell salts that neurish and maintain the health. vieor and vitality of the eells. the whole body glsws with health, strength and energy

SHOWS HIS STRENGTH

Montgomery, April 26 Especially - Sheriff John H. Strength of Enmore county must be true to his name and a man of strength, because he has declined to be influenced by the sentimentality of moonshiners. Sheriff Strength and deputies found nloonshiner's still in a remote section of his county Saturday night Not desiring to destroy the still without the arrest of the moonshine makers he planted himself and men near by and watched results.
 In short time the moonshiners came fire was placed under the equipment and soon the steam began to rise and the odor of mountain dew was waited to the breezes. The sheriff still waited. He watched the liquor drawn and pre- pared for movement to the American moonshine liquor market
 Throughout the night he and his men maintained their vigil As the morning sun began to appear over the hintops the moonshiners, believing they were about to finish successful nights work became sentimental and began to sing and here was their song:
 Early in the mornin'
 Just befo day,
 De bogie man caught us
 An took us away"
 It was too much for the strength of Sheriff Strength. He threw his gun on the men and commanded them to throw up their hands. They did. Tt was all right to sing. but I don't like this idea of calling the sheriff a bogie man" com mented Sheriff Strength after charges of moonshining had been preferred against the captives
