VICTIMS OF FEAR OR FLU:
Worry Has Wrought Destruction, c. y.
Neiswcnder Declares.
Editor State Journal:

Editor State Journal:
Fear and worry have wrought more
destruction in human lives than all
the wars in past history There is per-
-haps no other one thing that so quickly
exhausts mental and physical energy
as fear. We fear this and we fear that.
we yield to human impulses and sug
gestions
The despairing gloom our health
officials hand out only makes moro
business for the doctor and under
taker. If the press. and others who
are responsible for the circulation of
this vitality sapping news could only
realize that every anxious fear-bur-
dened thought is a rank poison, ana
that many untimely deaths are directly
traceable to this, am sure more care
would be exercised as to the kind o.
news that is published.
We hear about it on every hand-in
the offices, in the store, shop, factory,
on the street. everywhere we go.
Have you been reading about the un-
precedented onslaught of the flu?
Did you see the papers today" Terror
reignsl Now from even a common
sense standpoint what could anyone
expect from a multitude of minds
filled to overlooking with such disease
breeding thoughts. The very faces of
the people we meet tell the sad story
of the presence of fear, worry and an
thousands of people whose lives have
been shortened by the fear of death.
Who could count the many, many vic
Tins of plain. unadulterated supersti-
ton and fear?
The sure way to eradicate and over
come a so-called epidemic such as we
have before us is to stop talking and
thinking about it. Fill our minds with
something else. Read, study, work
ATTEND good, wholesome entertain
ments. play games and take outdoor
exercise. Do not allow fore boding
thought of sickness or disease to enter
our minds. Do not permit anyone to
converse with us on the subject. Do
not read any accounts of it in the
newspapers. Resolve to make a men
tai se-cleaning right now, casting
out all fear and apprehension and we
will find ourselves absolutely free and
immune.
The truth of the matter is we can
avoid having the flu by exercising the
same principle that we would have to
employ to be cured-perchance we
should become a victim. That being
the case, let's fool them all and stay

cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can getSthis at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an alum
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking. bright, fluffy.
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle of
dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

That film is what discolors-not the teeth. It holds

Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar,
are the chief cause of pyorrhea. So the one great
