The constant daily increase of Spanish Influenza reported by physicians shows take the simple ordinary precautions necessary to avoid infection. For, while Influenza after it's development. some timeS difficult to cure it is easily pre- Nentabe disease.
 The best plan is to begin treatment be- fore the first symptom starts. For no other disease will develop quickly or spread so rapidly. You may fee! fine day-be sick tomorrow and lose week or more of work. You will indeed be for tunate if pneumonia does not develop.
 The air today is full of Influenza germs. Every breath you take is likely to draw them into your nose and throat. You can prevent the disease by killing your body. There is probably no safer or surer way to do this than go the nearest drug store and set of the famous Hvomei 1nhalins Outfits consist ing of bottle of the pure oil of Hyomei and a little vest-pocket hard rubber in haling device into which few drops of the Oil of Hyouei are poured.
 Just breathe this Oil of Hyomei deep into your nose throat and lungs and ever! organs will be charged with an antiseptic. germ killing balsam that will destroy the germs that have found IodGmenr there.
 You cant do this often. No olt dinary flight and morning sargling gr throat spraying will be sufficient so long during the day you come in constan, contact with infection. The IIyoInei i'm haler is small andl can be conveniently carried ,,.It in , hand0as ; or ygst-Pocl;et ;

By doing this you pre- vent infection and cheek the further spread of the disease though HoI are coming in direct contact with fl. This is inexpensre treatment the Inhaler will last a lifetime and further supplies of the Oil of FIyonlei can be had any drug store for cents.

that money can buy. put 2R ounces
of Pinex in pint bottle. and fill up
with home sugar syrup Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either
way, Won make full pint-more than
you can buy ready made for three times
the money. 1t is pure, good and very
pleasant-childrcn take it eagerly.
Iou can feel this take hold of cough
or cold in way that means business.
The cough may be dry. hoarse and tight,
or may be persistently loose from the
