A COLD OR THE FLU:One of the gravest dangers about the influenza, grippe ,cold or Flu Phobia or whatever it is that is now going around, is that we are inclined not to take it seriously. Most people get it and after a day of two or a week of "sniffling" and feeling tough, get over it, but occasionlly the cases are much more severe and the effects are felt for years. The epidemic is almost nation wide and has reached the stage where authorities at Washington have been appealed to. Os course they can do nothing without the cooperation of the people and Surgeon General Cumming has issued the following rules which asks you to follow: — 1. Avoid needless crowding. Walk to work when possible. 2. Take advantage of sunshine. 3. Sleep with window’s open. 4. Avoid people who are coughing, sneezing and snuffling. 5. Wash your hands before eating, and do not put your fingers in your mouth. 6. Do not use napkins, towels, spoons, forks, knives and drinking cups unless they are clean. 7. I'se plenty of clean water, both inside and outside. Eat whatesoui*. food. Sleep at least seven hours. X Keep away from houses with influenza. 9. Avoid undue chilling of tlie body. 10. Avoid dust and overheated rooms 11. In case you do contract the disease, go to bed as soon as symptoms develope and remain there until thoroughly recovered. Public health officials at the same time warned against so-called “specifics'' for influenza. "Be careful" is the essence of the annual detailed warning given by postal authorities about wrapping Christmas packages. Lack of care means that the article may be broken or otherwise spoiled, ar delayed until after Christmas. Any of those accidents would mean real heart sorrow for the intended recipient and disappointment to the donor. A broken doll is a tragedy to a child at Christmas time. Crushed cigars do not make the child's father feel happy, while spilled perfume or torn and crushed flowers make no appeal to the femine members of the household. That same ordinary prudence with which a housewife would insure safe transmission of home made preserves from one dwelling to another should lead those who use the mails to send presents to wrap the gifts so securely that there will be no danger of breakage. And if the articles are valuable, it is only good sense to insure them.

Bolivia and Paraguay are going to war, the later country issuing a call for mobilization of all young men between the ages of 18 and 28. The two countries are at war's end over a boundary dispute and it seems that both countries have their minds made up to fight it out. It seems foolish and probably some intervention will prevent bloodshed and death. If they would Just stop to think that all the land,' over which ownership is in dispute could he bought for a few thousand dollars, it would save them millions in the long run. But in 1914, greater nations that the Southern republics went, to war over the killing of an old Archduke and the greatest war in history resulted. Senator James Watson, senior representative from Indiana, is slated

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Southington, Conn. — (U.R) — Detectives who investigated an establishment purporting to be "The Boys' Welfare Club," discovered it to be a flourishing speakeasy. Angelo Del Santo, “president" of the "club was fined |4<>o and costs ami sent to jail for three mouths.

to be the Republican leader in the upper house of Congress after March 4th. In fact his election to this important post is conceded, since Senator Jones, ranking member of the Senate refuses to be a candidate for the place. As an astute politician, Senator Watson, has no equal. He knows the game

of politics and whether or not he will agree with all the Hoover policies, he will show the boys a few tricks running the senate machinery. If you have any money left get your auto license and plates for 1929. The new plates have been placed on sale and so far the Secretary of State has not extended the time beyond the first of the year It is likely that he will grant an extension of time, but as we said before if you still have a ten dollar bill left after doing your Christmas shopping you better spend it for license plates if you want to drive your car next year. A brokerage firm in New York will distribute more than one million dollars among its clerks and employes. The question is fairly asked, "if this firm can give away a million dollars, how much must it have made during the year" Anyone it's nice that the gambling operations have been profitable to someone and that a few of the ordinary people will profit therefrom. An old lady up in Michigan, mother of ten children and four times convicted for having liquor in her possession, has been automatically under the law there, sentenced to prison for life. It may be a serious crime but millions of others are getting away with it and it certainly does'nt seem a fair Christmas gift when it is known that frequently in that state, murders get away with a less penalty. It took eighteen years to get a favorable vote in congress on Boulder dam but it was finally done, showing what Californian tenacity is. They even went so far as to trot out a candidate for president and elect him but they were so determined they were willing to do any thing. Any state so much in earnest ought to win. if we are to get the concrete road from here to the Ohio state line next year, we should have the easements this week. If interested, take a little time off and help get them. There are still about a dozen of them out. Tie a Christmas club card on the the Christmas tree for the boys and girls and then each week after the holidays see that their account is cred

To Check Flu-Grip

Fight the Germs with Vapors Before They Can Get a Start

Treat All Colds Promptly But Be Careful Not to Disturb the Digestion With Too Much Dosing. While Flu is so prevalent everyone should take precautions to prevent its further spread. Flu is generally accompanied by a headache, burning eyeballs, and aching joints. But it begins so many times with just an ordinary cold. Too often, the colds are neglected until they have lowered the vitality and permitted the lurking germs of influenza, or pneumonia to “get a foothold.” The only safe plan is to attack a cold at the very start. A hot bath, a laxative, and a vigorous application of Vicks Vapoßub on the throat and chest at bedtime, will usually break up a cold overnight. External Treatment Best For hours after Vicks is applied, its ingredients, time tested remedies, such as camphor, menthol, eucalyptus, thyme and turpentine, are vaporized by the warmth of the body, and inhaled right to the inflamed air •passages. At the same time, the ointment acts

Avoid Upsetting Stomach This simple external treatment cannot disturb your digestion as too much “dosing” is so apt to do. This is doubly important when “flu” is around, for your stomach, as well as your respiratory organs, must be kept in good condition in order to keep your body resistance at its highest level. For this reason, too, mothers prefer Vicks for children. It can be used freely and often, even on the youngest child, with no fear of upsetting a delicate stomach. To Help Ward Off the Flu Wh®n intluenza colds are prevalent, you can often prevent infection by snuffing a little Vicks well up the nostrils every night and morning, or before exposure to crowds.
