AVOID THE FLU BY
KEEPING GERMS OUT
OF NOSE and THROAT

S5uard yourself and others against
influenza. Avoid crowds. Sleep with
your bedroom window open. At the
first sign of cold. fever. sore throat
or that grip feeling, consult your doc
tor.
But, above all, try to keep your nose
and throat protected day and night
by an antiseptic cream. Flu germs
are breathed into your system. An
antiseptic cream is used TO keep the
germs from lodging in your nose or
throat.
For this purpose get from your
druggist at once a bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm. Insert a little into the
nostrils and draw in through all of
the air passages so it reaches the
throat.
Do this as often as may be REQUIRED
to keep nose and throat antiseptic.
Do it the last thing at night and first
thing in the morning until the flu
epidemic has passed.
Head colds and catarrh yield like
magic to this antiseptic. healing cream
that soothes swollen, inflamed mem
branes of nose and throat. Your
clogged nostrlis open right up and you
can breathe freely. Don't stay stuffed
up and miserabie.-Adv.

trouble growing out of the defunct

resign, said County Attorney James
Hepburn. Okmdlgee county, this morn
ing in commenting upon the inyestiga-
ton now being made by a second
grand jury into alleged Irregularities
in the state banking department.
This demand for the resignation of
the governor came this morning after
several letters had passed between the
county attorney and the governor and
after Governor Robertson had pub
licly announced that he would waive
all immunity as governor to appear be-
fore the new grand jury to answer
any questions to "help clarity the situ-
ation.'
Governor Robertson denounced as
which County Attorney Hepburn
scathingly criticised Judge H. r..
Christopher for dissolving the first
grand jury said to be about to bring
in several indictments against several
high officials
Gov. Robertson declared the whole
affair was politics designed while
away on his Mexican trade trip. He
declared the most ordinary layman
knew better than that a person under
COuio not DS u
testify under grand jury. In fair
ness to himself as g man, he declared
he should be allowed to be heard be
fore the inquiry.
Dir. Hepburn said if the calling
of Governor Robertson before the
second grand jury would in any way
serve a good purpose he would do so,
but at this time he declared he be-
lieved no such action would be neces-
sary.
Governor Robertson said the affair
could not help but bring disgrace up
on the state, for when a governor is
indicted, the news is spread TO the
four winds"
In reply to this statement, Mr.. Hep
burn reiterated eff the governor
wishes to save the state from dis
grace, he should resign"
