Elolbo Lewton who Is 111 of In-' fluoHza Is gradually growing better, j the temperature going down. Word has been received here by relatives that Miss Lucile GllUg whoj was ill of influenza at Glendale, Arizona, 1b recovering nicely. Her Bis-' ter, Miss Agnes, employed on the Wabash Plain Dealer wn culled to Ari-1 zona several weeks ago by her net- 1 ious illness.

Athough $14,550,000 was 'available I for expenditures on the post roads from the Federal Aid {load Act. only $425.445 was paid from federal funds in the highway vom-i ruction season of] 1918 on all projects. The reason for this, according to the annual report of the secretary of agriculture, west the steps taken to conserve money, I labor, transportation and material in highway work during the war, and at the same time to facilitate really essential highway proje. Is. Notwithstanding repeated assurances that the federal guarantee of wheat prices are binding upon the government for the 1919 crop, the statement conies to Dr. Hurry E.

At the instance of tne educational division of the federal administration Dr. Barnard renews his assurance that the guaranteed price for wheat, by which Indiana producers will be protected for next year's crop in exactly the same manner as during the season just closed. The order will continue effective until July 1, 1920.

Smith Au old enemy is with us again, uud ; whether we fight a German or a germ, | we must put up a good fight, and not be afraid. The influenza runs a very] brief course when the patient is careful. and if we keep the system in good condition and throw off the poi- . sons which tend to accumulate within our bodie . we can escape the disease. Remember these three C’s —a dean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels. To carry off poisons from. the system aid keep the bowels j loose." daily doses of a pleasant laxa-i tlve should be taken. Such a one is] made of May-apple leaves of aloe, | root of jtlap. and called Dr. Pierce's] Pleasant PeJ-.'ts. Hot lemonade should bo used freely if attacked by a cold, and the patient should be put i to bed after a hot mustard foot-bath. To prc.eni the attack of bronchitis j or pneumo-ia and to control the pain, I Anuric v.rilei i should be obtained at j the dr;:y, oic. and one given every two hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tai were first discovered by Dr. Pie- and. as they flush the! bladdei .mul ileans® the kidneys, they i carry away much of the poisons and I the uric a< id. It is important that broths, milk, buttermilk, ice cream, and simple diet be given regularly to strengthen the ' system and increase the vital resistance. The liver is diminished by the _ use of the Anuric tablets, but in addition. the forehead, arms and hands . may be bathed with water (tepid) in which a tablespoonful of salaratus has been dissolved in a quart. After i an attack of grip or pneumonia to I build up and strengthen the system, obtain at the drug store a good iron tonic, called “Irontic" Tablets, or I that well known herbal tonic.
