too powerful, If accounts are cor

II we have found it people like the
Huns and the Japs will learn its
secrets and him who first employs

all the earth for his own. The ac-
counts say a charge was tied to a
metal tower and touched off from
miles away. The twoer melted, ter
rifically hot gases leaped 10000 feet
in the air, men five miles away were
knocked flat. Maybe that is ne
'fire" that the Bible tells us shall

In TER July Election the British
did . much greater flip-flop than
would have been the case here If the
Republicans had won u last elect
ion BY q two to one popular vote.
Apparently the British government,
a now constituted, mans to take
over the coal mines and later the
railroads and the Bank OF England.
A socialistic program that amounts
to q revolution. It mean a central
ICED government and that means a
dictator for the reason that some
man will have to arise in whom all
authority can head. The only reason
for anyone to favor a peacetime
centralized government is the belief
that its head will do more" for him
than he can do for himself; some
one to work for, to look up to, to
lean on. Direct contrast to our
system that teaches every man to
stand on his own feet, manage his
own business /. rise to any height ne
honestly can; grow and prosper ana
climb by his own efforts. Under our
system of free work and free men
more people have more, live in more
comfort, earn more, travel more,
read more than other people. Yet
in the congested centers. due to-
free admission of low grade peoples,
there are many bosses who are act
lively seeking to pull down our sys-
tenn and model us after the Rus
slams.

STATE HEALTH OFFICER

January chill rains mean damp feet
and increases the danger to those who
have influenza.
Flu in itself is not to be taken light
ly, and adding to the danger is its ten
dency to pave the way of pneumonia,
ear and mastoid infections, and other
complications. 1t is these follow-up dis
eases that flu sufferers must guard
against. Even the mildest case of influ-
enza should be under the care of a
physician. The wise patient will heed
the advice of his doctor and stay in
bed little longer than may be neces-
sary, thus avoiding unpleasant relapses.
A new anti-influenza vaccine seems
to offer great promise, but until thor
oughly tested and in general use, the
best way to avoid flu is to follow the
old familiar advice-get plenty Of rest,
eat the right kind of food, take reason
able exercise, keep away from crowds,
and 60 to bed at the first sign Of a
cold.
